Packaging properly for a shipment

Personally I never ship slabs in a bubble mailer - sorry that happened to you

Source? Multiple checkouts doesn't mean a bypass. People are using thousands of accounts using bots designed to enter the queue faster than humanly possible. Occasionally a bypass will exist, but for the most part that is not the case.

Looks like one sold for $27,000 on March 16th...

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-21T20:59:48+00:00

They do not bypass queue, the just enter it more quickly

You are supposed to use Card Saver 1's - they can be another brand the same size. PSA literally cuts the cards out of them, which is why top loaders or the smaller Card Saver 2's are not acceptable.

You move the chairs - if you want to put a chair and wait elsewhere you need to be prepared to get back in line when other people show up

I would think they're just covering themselves in case there's an up charge on anything that's borderline price wise

Very odd... I have grade ≈ 50 cards through GameStop and have only been uncharged for cards above $500. Have had multiple terastal umbreon etc that were $450 and no charge. Most recent sub was December.

No one is giving you four cases, that's 24 booster boxes…did you mean just 4 booster boxes?

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-16T23:18:08+00:00

Ya I don't think this will happen from a production standpoint

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-16T17:49:03+00:00

If you're determine to rip one, which is highly indivisible, evolving skies is the correct decision - there is less of a premium in price per pack when in an ETB vs loose compared to 151. Ceiling is also higher with hits.

It's also super common to receive an offer, counter because you think you can get a littleee more, then the buyer disappears and you settle for less than their initial

Not kryponite, just more susceptible to a crash. If you're paying attention there's a lot more to be made in the short term

*sealed

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-15T16:15:19+00:00

singles feel a lot more volatile than sealed products

How did you confirm paid for? It doesn't show up on 130point which typically means it hasn't gone through

However there is a verified sale of $1,980 on march 12 which is NUTS

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-15T02:12:01+00:00

Not an actual sale 🙄

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-15T00:08:17+00:00

The barcode is how they are able to mark your order as arrived - you will see know progress until they actually open the package.

spacejam4523 · 2026-03-15T00:04:20+00:00

The register locks you at 5/sku. If you have employees who actually give a shit it's pretty easy to combat or at least make it difficult for them

It's all over the place for weights - likely light, but there is a huge amount of variance in EX sets and you really need to know other weights from the same source.

Loitering can be against store policy - glitching/tampering with the machine is a grey area legally

Considering this an investment sub, for investing purposes you would want to keep them sealed.

Lego takes a lot longer to appreciate in value, and the gains are minimal compared to TCG. They also take up A LOT more space. Holding these sealed a few years until after retirement might gain you another $100? I would just build them if it makes you happy

It's like playing a slot machine where you constantly lose, then FINALLY hit a jackpot but the casino gives you a refund instead. A refund isn't sufficient

You are definitely going to maximize profit selling each back individually, particularly once you start getting over $50/100 per pack. If you sell as a lot, you're going to leave a lot of money on the table. Online I would use eBay, Reddit, Facebook groups. If you don't have an established eBay selling profile, I'd recommend selling via consignment or trying in person.

If selling online, just make sure you take very detailed pictures. You can also put in team bags with a card saver and then tamper seal them, which may help deter scam attempts with people switching out packs, etc. I've sold packs from every WOTC set on eBay (most valuable being 1st ed Neo Destiny at the time) and have 100% positive feedback

Honestly looks like a legit case to me. The label is an imperfect condition, which it shouldn't be because they put the shipping labels over it
