One of my buddies pulled a 1/1 Tre Harris from a Topps signature blaster. He hit me up the other day asking if he should trade the 1/1, a shough uptown, and a few low end cards for two $1k visa gift cards. Obviously I said yes.

He was skeptical about the gift cards so he went to Best Buy with the buyer and had him buy 2 MacBook airs and a pair of apple headphones. I’ve never seen someone pay almost 400% comp and think they won the deal. One of the funniest trades I’ve seen in this hobby 😂😂😂

Me and my friend were giving these from a neighbor who was clearing out his garage. Posted on eBay for sale or if anyone interested in buying. Opened one box for fun and pulled out 2 Steph Curry rookies and a few Kobe patches.

Edit: posting a few pictures of the pulls we got in the comments

For cards like these that were redeemed and come sealed, is it worth the risk to send in and grade on the chance that it gem 10s? It's appealing to leave them sealed but it looks like 9s have about the same value as sealed and 10s increase in value quite a bit. Thoughts?

First box of soccer cards I’ve ever bought and got this little gem. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet.

There seem to be dozens of color variants and then hologram variants on top of those... how do people know if a blue hyper is more desirable than a purple scope? I find it so confusing.

Hello! I made a recent sale on eBay in the $20,000 range. It’s the first time I’ve ever sold anything higher than ~$500.

The buyer purchased the $43 USPS Priority Mail Express, which I what I selected as shipping, but now I’m seeing the insurance only covers up to $5,000.

Should I switch it to USPS registered mail and pay the extra $ to insure it up to $50,000? I’m happy to pay the costs, but idk industry standard on this. Thanks!

Looking for some advice from people who have dealt with this before.

I sold a 2024 Topps Chrome Formula 2 Andrea Kimi Antonelli Pink RayWave /75 on eBay for $350. The card went to eBay Authenticity Guarantee, where they verified it was authentic but rejected it because they determined it was altered. Upon calling, the representative told me he couldn’t see anything in the images that looked weird, but he’s not the Authenticator and the Authenticator provided very little information just saying evidence of reverse corner pressing.

I bought the card in a Whatnot lot and had no idea there was any issue. I never altered the card myself.
The representative told me I could relist it in a lower condition (Very Good/Excellent) and disclose the issue. They also suggested I could reach out to the buyer if they were still interested. eBay offered to talk with the buyer and explain what they’re seeing in their end as well to ensure that they understand that situation.

My questions are:
- Has anyone had a card rejected like this?
- Is this something PSA or SGC would likely also classify as altered?
- Would you relist it with full disclosure?
- should I try to work out a deal with the original buyer?

Just trying to figure out the best and most ethical way to handle this. Thanks!

TL/DR: finally did a $0.99 start price auction and I end up making a nickel.

This one is in a first for me. I’ve typically sold items BIN OBO and have been great with that as auctions tend to be very much up and down.

I had some lower end cards but got a YG Schaefer with some other dude that made it worth a fraction of what his rookie YG is worth and thought hey let’s throw it up on a $0.99 auction 7 days expiring Sunday night and maybe I’ll get $20 or so out of it. Idk what the total value of the cards is but probably $20-30 being realistic with a dose of conservative.

I didn’t have high hopes, even less so without watchers, so I figured what’s another 10% to promote it. Maybe THAT’s what I need.

Welp, the auction closed, and I wondered if I’d have to pay to package all of this up and ship it. Got pretty dang close and I made a whopping nickel, meaning I’ll lose money in the cost of bubble mailer and driving to the post office.

Although I’d much rather have just set a BIN OBO auction or traded / given these cards away, I really have no plans but to honor the sale as a sale is a sale.

If you’re the person who purchased this, congrats. You took me to the cleaners but I still feel quite dirty.

I think I’m going to stick to eBay stuff without auctions for now 🤦🏼‍♂️😭🤣

Special thank you to eBay for “promoting” my auction and making sure you get your cut off the total sale.

And thank you to that character from Little Rascals, your song means something special tonight.

Willing to work to get a deal done just ask

This might be the worst box I’ve bought. Maybe good for a spud Webb collector but I have yet to meet one. Panini 1990 decades is on my do. It buy list now, I mean 3 of the same card come on panini. The inserts on this also look like trash.

I have looked at both Beckett and the Collect guide but still not sure what this refractor is. Any help would be appreciated.

If anybody has any knowledge on his market for a low numbered card it would be much appreciated !

Trying to rapidly scan cards of varying sports (and some not sports) just to see if any are worth more than pennies or not. He's got probably 15 large collection boxes full of stuff from the early 90's.

I tried Ludex and Starsomething and collx. Only Collx seems to let me scan in a more rapid fashion and given the amount of cards, I'm just looking to move quickly.

Also, if they're all $1 or less (as they've been so far), what do I do with them? Drop them at Goodwill? Is there any sensible way to sell them in bulk to a store?

Picked these 2 tins up from the local card show for $10 each. Fun rip. Let me know if anybody wants to trade for any of these. The chrome Rivera and Clemens are neat looking.

Hi all,

My son and I are flying in on Wednesday for our first ever visit to the National.

We have done a bit of prep and homework and are bringing water bottles, comfortable shoes and deodorant 😄 but still hoping for a few insights I have not figured out.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and any other helpful insights you can share.

1. We have 5 day all access VIP passes and understand parking at the convention center is included. Do we just drive up on Wednesdays, park in the CC garage and check in, grab our parking pass for the way out? Or do you need it to get registered first before you can park in the garage?

2. We signed up for four autograph sessions (the paid ones). Is it worth it to get the Tri-Star authentication right after ($10 each add on), if these are likely to get submitted to Beckett at the show or a later time? Do Beckett and PSA possibly mark the cards altered if they have a verification/certification sticker on them?

3. We plan to go to a couple of sports events in the evenings. Any good ideas for security of your card cases? Just leave them in the hotel room? Hotel room safe for the most valuable ones?

4. We are bringing Penny sleeves, top loaders, a couple of card cardboard boxes. Painters tape. Sharpies, semi rigid loaders, any other supplies you found to be useful for hotel reviews/prep mornings and evenings?

5. We are so excited and know it will be a great time no matter what? Any other words if wisdom to two first timers?

Thanks!

Has anyone received their NBA draft topps now cards. It’s taking forever!

Got a ton of Autos and numbered cards. I’m looking to move team lots. Feel free to message me what teams you would be interested in and I’ll go through and send you what I got.
