Impulse Buy: Case Break of 15/16 Noir...

chris_ac · 09-02-2016, 11:22 AM

Long story short, I was so pissed with the condition of a card I bought on eBay, I wigged out and bought a case of Noir for the hell of it. My dealer said he only had 3 left and I never buy high-end cases plus they are not 1710 anymore, so devilish nature got the better of me and here's the highlights (No Towns or Porzingis unfortunately):

The Magic is jersey #'d 32/35 so that's nice. I never pull PC players in any sport so that's expected as well. Still my product of the year. Yes, I have a bad habit for buying boxes and not sticking to singles, but I'll cut my wrist later.

Congrats on a solid break, but you never know who's reading this and what their story is. Joking about suicide might not be the best idea but you do you.

I'm not using it willy nilly anyways. I have personal experience with having to see a psychiatrist in junior high after saying things aloud in school. I've never been officially depressed, but understand when the world feels heavy. I'm just jabbing myself for saying one thing and doing another.

Looks like a decent break.

Just out of the cards listed that looks like 1k in resell value and im assuming you got the case for around 1500.

Any other decent hits.

Solid break my man. Great RPA's and a nice Tag auto of a top rook. Any base of CP3, Beal, Winslow /10?

It unfortunately was not something that could be observed from a scan or pic. You have to see the corner of that card in-person to realize it's no bueno. I spent $350 on it, so a fairly bad corner made me upset for sure. Couldn't really argue with the seller about it since they always claim it's fine and don't believe you. Last time I opened a case for item not described, which he didn't disclose this significant flaw in my opinion, I was put through hoops by paypal trying to prove the flaw deteriorated the value. I know we say the buyer is always right on ebay, but in 14.5 years on ebay I've opened like 3 cases maybe and I was not given the benefit of the doubt when I opened my last one for a $900 card that time. In other words, I eat it. I think of it as paying $350 on a high-end group break and getting skunked. Feels like that anyways.
