That was a tiring day 1. I bought a few Winnipeg Jets singles, contemplated grabbing some wax but decided against it. I also picked up a jays hoodie signed by a Kelly Gruber for $40 and a Raptors warm up jacket and tearaway pant for $75 Tomorrow I’ll try to sell or trade of some cards I flew in with. I only pulled them out once to show one table and they weren’t interested.

Jealous you got to go to your show. We had a large one this weekend but I was sick as a dog Friday/Saturday. I went to a LCS on Sunday so I didn’t feel completely empty handed and picked up a nice 58 Eddie Mathews

It's now 2:23pm and they are only on case 29 despite doing it assembly line style lmao. I've watched a few boxes and saw a Rich Hill base or two go by, but mostly I'll just see what shows up at my door. The Corbin Carroll spot went for $10k btw. Gunnar was $7.5k, Adley was $4k. If I had that kind of money to spend on cards that's absolutely not how I would spend it, but hey I'm glad someone is willing to do it! e: here's the link if anyone wants to see, they're pretty much only stopping to show/sleeve low numbered autos https://www.fanatics.live/shows/d32cd5bd-b751-4343-8b7c-437077c82e2c camoseven fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Nov 15, 2023 |

Tried to go to my LCS for Black Friday deals. Got there 15 minutes before open and the line was at least 150 people long. The earliest ones had started lining up 2 hours before open. Came back an hour later and the line was still out the door. No thanks, I am not cut out for competitive shopping! Happy they are doing well and will never go out of business, at least!

I lol at the people who post on instagram/reddit/card forums their personal breaks that are just so shockingly bullshit in search of some kind of clout “Hey guys I bought two blasters of topps chrome at target and got this orange auto /25 of The Main Guy, a gold auto /50 of The Second Guy, the Matt Olson superfractor and a red /5 refractor of Julio Rodriguez did I do good???????”

I haven't spent a cent on wax in months and have been living on the low end $1-4 shipped cards. Taking advantage of Buy X Get Y free sales, combined shipping deals, sometimes just being the only person to bid on an item, adding the lowest BIN to my watchlist for a day to see if the seller offers a little lower. Just Reds cards in all blends and colors of parallels and refractors, die cuts and minis, and inserts and rookies. Low-end game used of Reds guys and Other Guys, too. Singles are The Way and I've been enlightened. For the price of a blaster I can get 5-15 cards I like or find unique instead of growing towers of base cards. I like Chrome, Finest, numbered Topps, refractors and rookie parallels and Joey Votto. Also, from the low-end, I'd like to say that Lava and Wave and RayWave and Sonar and Blue Prism and whatever refractors are Okay. I get it if you think they're wack or you think they water down the product. There are varieties that I think bite (anything black & white), but from this garbage bidder's perspective, they're fantastic! If it sells for the same price as a base refractor, I'll take (most) whatever wack, numbered and/or colored refractor you don't want. Purple refractors can go, while pink refractors are disrespected. IMO pink refractors should be /50 or better. If anyone has a 2009 or 2011 Joey Votto base Topps Chrome refractors please PM me I will buy them.

Has anyone else taken a look at the promotional materials for 2024 Topps Baseball Series 1? Personally, I think they look pretty awful for the flagship product. The whole neon vibes aesthetic is such a departure from the cleaner white borders used for previous years. While it may be an unfair comparison, I'm reminded of the 1991 Fleer as comparable terrible set design. https://www.topps.com/cards-collectibles/2024-topps-baseball-series-1-hobby-box-pre-order.html

I'm pretty sure it was designed to look good with parallels. I kinda like the base, but it's definitely over the top.

I’m interested in seeing how QC goes with the black top and white bottom. I felt like there were a ton of (junk) slabs for last year so maybe this will level out the grading demand.

    I haven't had a lot of time recently to play with cards cause I got a new job and my kids are very very needy, but I was able to go to a Topps sponsored trade night last night at the local shop and it was awesome. Colts QB Anthony Richardson was there for a while which was very cool. Everyone got a pack with 4 Rip Night cards. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who did the set and everyone I traded with was like "oh huh that's a good idea". Set collecting is dead as hell lol. There were children there with singles worth more than my entire collection. Which is common for that shop based on location but still insane to me every time I see it. I won a shirt in the raffle and traded for some great PC stuff! Overall had a blast. camoseven fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Feb 25, 2024 |

Is there a recommended app for scanning cards? I've been using Ludex and it's ok. My son is having a blast scanning cards so I figured I'd ask if there was something better.
