On ebay already?

Of course! Moonshot pricing for the weekend since I’ve got the only one there as of now. I’m sure I’ll have to end up running it at auction and making half of what I initially thought I may.

We live in the dumbest timeline. I'd rather have a bored ape NFT.

100% stupid. But if I get a few hundred to throw into her 529 and she’s happy with her Winnie the Pooh card, it’s all good.

I got one thousand dollars for this. What the fuck man. Sold off of eBay. Taking my daughter out on a whatever she wants day.

A buddy told me to hold onto my Malik Nabers 1/1, but I wanted to sell it because with my luck he would get hurt and the card value would plummet.

God damn I'm glad I sold it when I did.

Card sold for $2,550!

I don't think I've ever been more scared to ship something in my life. And I've shipped a lot of illegal beer shipments.

just thought about this. i can't even imagine what it would be now. $10K?

I got back into cards this year in part by learning about the Larry David signed cards in Topps Series 1. It wasn't mentioned that there were only 25 of them in the IG post I saw about it. Anyway, I started mostly buying singles and a few packs or boxes here and there. Only had a few hits for Topps Series 1 this year but I decided to grab a 2024 Series 2 blaster after chatting with the owner of my LCS. I likely pulled from it the biggest W I'll ever have from it:



Been trying to figure out what to do with it since I got the redemption about two months ago. I'm a Cubs fan but would rather have a Tucker auto on a Cubs card and the only thing about Travis Scott I like is a few Jordan 1s. It is not numbered and also not findable on 130point. Oddly after searching for comps for weeks there are now three of these on eBay. One for auction starting at $3600 and two BINs at 5K obo. I do not think they will get $5 but still holy shit. I am tempted to list it at starting price 1K and let the bidders decide from there.

I also have gotten into a few (other) non-sports autos. Shelly and Bobby from Twin Peaks is my best one currently.

One of these (not mine) finally sold on eBay. It was listed for $1K OBO and sold for $900. Maybe the $.99 auction route is the way to go. Really just hoping for anything over $500 to use on things that I pc.

Also, I have bought 2 different hobby boxes of Topps (Series 2 and a Chrome) this year and I don't think that is something I will do again. The chance at a real hit is low and now I have all these commons that I have to deal with. At least I can give the Rangers cards to my nephew.

Bought for $800 last year. Selling for $1600 tomorrow. Market spiked again.

At the same time I've been too hesitant on a couple missed purchases that have since more than doubled.

 

[Podunkparte]

Fun day...

Found a good deal locally for a piece I need for my PC, and finally bit the bullet and bought this:



But wait, there's more!

Grabbed 2 of the Topps Holiday boxes for fun to see if I could get a fun Santa hat short print or something...

Just pulled my 2nd ever 1/1!

Card of the day

 

[Podunkparte]

Tried a box of Allen & Ginter, and...got another 1/1...

But it's a printing plate of the Chef Reactions guy lol

A while back I sent a bunch of cards out to former Mariners players and I got my first one back today. I loved Dave Fleming when I was a kid. Dude had an unbelievable 17-10 rookie season in 1992, with 7 complete games, and then flamed out as we didn’t take care of young pitchers’ arms back then. He also pitched the same way for University of Georgia leading them to the CWS in 1990. He’s definitely a case of what could’ve been.

Still waiting on Mike Cameron, John Olerud and Phil Bradley. And I sent one to Luis Castillo cause apparently he’s cool about it.

 

[Podunkparte]

Officially on a hot streak.

I spotted a box of Bo Jackson Battle Arena cards (I've mentioned prior in the thread) at Target and never thought I would. 1 box left, grabbed it and pulled these:



The Dr. J, top row column 2 is about $300 lol

I made a buzzed purchase over the holidays. Kinda wish there was a way to straighten it, but still happy. There are a lot of fun Ted cards out there.

This card is very cool and I’d love to own one. That said, it would drive me fucking insane to not be able to tap it into place

Of course it’s fucking PSA doing a shitty job.

Got another! Funny how Olerud lives ten miles away from me but took the longest to get back. He’s probably my dad’s favorite baseball player ever so he gets a signed card for his birthday.
