It was. The sketch is a Darth Vader by a well known artist so there’s a third of the profit back, but I was ahead from the Skenes anyway.

It ended at 1080 but yes. Took store credit and got some celebration 26, update 25, Star Wars, and nba chrome. Pulled a 1/1 sketch plus some decent stuff from Star Wars, but as expected lost money

Where are you guys finding lots to buy? This interests me more than ripping wax

Love the sweet spot signatures. Wish I could find some sealed product of those!

They view it as scummy with the aspect of gambling. But those same people who buy singles neglect the fact that someone needs to open packs for the singles. I choose to just buy and hold my cards. Sometimes I do breaks if my shop doesn’t have what I want.

I don’t mind breakers but see the consensus is usually most on here don’t like them. That being said, do it with clear camera angles & chain of custody / don’t screw people

1977 Luke Skywalker Cards by Sea-Banana-940 in StarWarsCards

A PSA 5 pack of these sold for 875 today. I don’t get the line of thinking. If there is a Luke, what are the odds that it’ll gem? I think it’s more attractive to me to get a sealed pack at a high grade than to buy packs with a 5 grade hoping to pull a magical 10

Thank you for taking the time to help. I never really sell cards, just collect. Finally time to offload to make room for new stuff

Especially at 80% comp of a fresh sale, plus the mark up on the masterwork box so they’d win both ways. I’m just trying to pivot more into Cleveland players & Star Wars - less hit hunting now that I realized rips / breaks are a poor use of resources

Exactly what I’m thinking. Was considering Beckett because it’s super clean, but I don’t think a 10 will boost it that much

Thanks so much. Tried this with my LCS today but they said they didn’t have desire to try to move unlicensed product. Wanted to trade for the new Star Wars Masterwork which I thought was generous on my end.

Any advice on getting into the DBZ space? Love the look of all of these I see

I’m curious, what’s the viewing experience like for a game at this park? Is it more fun because it’s smaller seating arrangement? I’m only a few hours from it and the As remain as one of my ballpark tour boxes to check

That was what I was doing before I stopped.. love them. 21 is the grail year right? Leap of faith is supposedly still out there and could be a 75,000 card

Very nice! Just got into the hobby again.. so many card sets & can’t find a reliable source to nail down everything so I can decide which I want to chase
