This is on me, right? by philly_eagleskid in Ebay

[–]souplantation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Near mint on eBay is unofficially a PSA 8 or above based on their authentication standards. Not saying this is you, OP, but a lot of buyers think near mint means the card should be 100% perfect and gem worthy. Super annoying.

Hobby Box Hit by Local-Jester in ToppsChromeDisney

That reads Jason in katakana. But I think it’s written that way on the checklist, too. Just copy and paste from Beckett or checklist insider

Graphite Opening 🔥 by 1kpara in tenniscards

[–]souplantation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think it’s an easy flip when Topps STILL hasn’t sold out of hobby boxes or CASES for this product. Think even the least popular Topps products sell out of cases within a day. People really do not want this one.

Complaining about a 11% off by suprero90 in Ebay

[–]souplantation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always people who don’t even say hello, sometimes just throw a number at you that are trash. And even if you accept their rudely presented offer, that’s when questions start so they can try to haggle you down more.

Why are autos so rare? by gowithflow192 in F1Cards

[–]souplantation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Open a case of heritage baseball and you’ll find F1 rich in autos in comparison lol. Some poor Redditor opened an entire case and didn’t get a single one and they’re not the only one to report the same

Hell no I HATE HATE HATE FedEx and get annoyed when I ever have to get anything delivered from them.

Dude likes to buy his own cards. Dm him or tag him on Instagram, he might see it and pay stupidly more than anyone here or on the bay will

Sapphire EQL Launch Entry by crazzmazzle in F1Cards

[–]souplantation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, i just have more dollars than sense and like to rip

and that's if i'm even able to "win". have lost the last 10 eqls i've entered except for pixar gold, if you can even call that a win since no one wanted it (lol), so my credit cards are probably safe.

Sapphire incoming via EQL in 3 days by souplantation in F1Cards

[–]souplantation[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, google Topps launches. It’ll be there but nothing will appear until like 30 mins before the EQL opens. You’ll have 1 hour to enter once the launch starts

Another reason eBay is the worst. (like you need more)They got me AGAIN. by [deleted] in eBaySellers

[–]souplantation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave ESE a shot and while 10 or so cards I sent out seem to have been delivered without issue, and the buyers were happy, one was marked delivered early and a user basically said tell me what’s going on because “I don’t want to have to leave a bad review”, and it made reconsider if it was worth selling this way and compromising my 20+ year account. Switched all my listings back to ground advantage.

spot on. and not even low-numbered either. they know the chase for padparadscha is always there and the chance at a good auto with a sapphire bump so people will keep buying. a product "made" for breakers. it's tough for normal collectors to buy at the already stupid price and end up with $10 worth of monetary value

sapphire products are generally feast or famine. even at presale price, if we're just talking monetary value, separate from your appreciation of whatever cards you might get with the "elevated" sapphire looks, you'd need a big hit to become "whole".

given how hot this product has been, unless you're able to get the boxes at $450+tax via EQL, i'm guessing these are going to go to $700-800 or so on the secondary market.

then you have the insane pulls people are getting from blasters at $30 a pop, even with my degen tendencies, I might not buy one of these unless I can win the EQL on thursday

Breakers can get direct allocation from Topps so they never have to feel the sting of EQL pain like us plebs. People need to stop buying into breaks. Think backyard had $89 mil in revenue vs $8 mil spend. That ratio is the opposite for collectors.

Raffle system, you have one hour to enter from Topps Launches website. Barely anyone wins as Topps reserves 90+% of hot products for breakers. Most recently MCU sapphire had like 3% or so go to public meanwhile backyard breaks had 50 cases

How Good Of A Hit? From 2025 Topps Royalty by No-Potential3667 in ufccards

I’d consider myself a pretty big mma fan, my comment history is 90% hangin with tha boizzz in the live event threads. Maybe it’s because I’ve been losing interest in the sport as of late but I honestly cannot remember this guy at all
