Anyone Collect Sports Cards?

[noshoegame]

Lol so what are they buying them for? It’s a lotto ticket for them, who cares if they can afford it.

I don’t think you understand what I was saying. I was saying is that most of these people buying hundreds of dollars worth of retail are not doing so just to have some fun and open some packs. They are either reselling them or hoping to pull cards that will be worth the cost of the initial investment.

Up until about 2 years ago collectors would buy a blaster or packs at retail for fun or to just get your fix. You never saw anyone buying hundreds of dollars worth of retail and even Prizm basketball would never sell out and even be discounted to clear out when next year dropped.

Just to show how uneducated a lot of new collectors can be I saw people buying hundreds of dollars of Topps update this year

I’m completely understanding - my point is who cares? I never bought retail when I was heavy into this because the odds are trash - if they want to try to make a buck ok cool, if they want to rip and try to hit a home run, Godspeed.

I don’t have the time nor patience to camp out for retail cards - I’d rather throw money at the problem. If they are there great, if not respect to those who copped and are grinding for them.

was just answering your question why they are buying them. Not sure what the confusion is.

For an extra few bucks? Where there is demand there will always be resell - not a big deal.

If people are paying resell for retail let em, we have said from day one it isn’t worth it lol

I remember I bought an updated Topps MLB precovid and thought “ damn this pack is horrible”. It was the very first pack of sports cards I’ve ever purchased and after that I went down a researching rabbit hole. It took a year for me to score something good lol

lol same. I tried that this year and tried to be impressed/happy with some medallion card, nope

 

[frink85]

Plus those packs have so many inserts with like 1:5 odds, they lose meaning lol

i knew it was gonna be a crappy pack because it was an updated mlb. I was just curious to see what I’d pull lol I don’t think I’ll buy Topps updated mlb everrrrrrrrr again

Update can be good when you have players who have been called up mid season, but with no minor league season this year update was trash.

Any good hits?

Shyne had the top spot (bought 3 spots I think) and chose the /3 Herro true RPA.
What a world we live in, $32500 for 10 pieces of cardboard.

 

[noshoegame]

Layton was $2,000
Mojo was $2,500 and last box they are asking $3,000
Jaspys was $2,500
Platinum was doing $500 random player spot.

Layton pulled a 1/1 Zion in box one and and then a 1/1 Ja in I think box three.

The checklist is good, but the design is subpar compared to previous eminence IMO. Does not matter as these are obviously for someone in a much higher tax bracket than I’m in anyway.

Bought three 2020 donruss basketball fat packs on toysrus website, was shocked they had them! It was max 5 per person so I got the last three, but the order had been processing for a few days now and live chat said they’re on back order.. even though it said they were in stock

I’m praying it doesn’t get cancelled because the packs were like ten dollars canadian each.. Donruss prices are insanely expensive. Please just ship
