A freedom loving American.

if we had an anonymous poll for political leanings/affiliations, i bet we see a ton of people claiming to be Libertarians / don't tread on me types. but someone else getting to Walmart before them should get arrested!!! LOL

Depends on how much other stuff you have locked away. If it's a lot then you are a "hoarder"

Is there anyone on this thread who opens up product, places in sleeves or top loaders or in boxes, and just simply takes them every now and then to enjoy them? If so, how do you feel about not getting what you want?

Bruisbe · 02-20-2020, 03:04 PM

Wanna know how to get people to stop buying up everything and then selling it for 3x the prices????????

Don't buy it from the people that mark it that high...vote with your wallet...it's not rocket science.

That makes you someone who will be holding a lot of way overproduced product that will be worth way less than if you sold them now. Get out while the gettin's good!

Ironic commentary coming from you...didn't I read in a post awhile ago that you exhibited a bit of "sour grapes" and tried to extort money from someone you had sold a sketch to?

Good to see you've found a legal way to supplement your income instead of breaking the law by extorting your art patrons after the fact.

Someone whose house probably needs to be featured on hoarders.

I am a collector like that. I only sell or trade doubles of something I get out of boxes.

While I would never complain about not being able to get anything because of what the OP talked about, it does seem that there are more flippers and rippers/sellers on Blowout than "gotta collect every card" collectors out there anymore.

I'm a football card collector but like to buy things out of the ordinary and see what I get. I have pulled a Derek Jeter auto, Soto auto and Acuna auto from retail before so I understand there is a business to be made in marking up retail on ebay. Go for it. I can still say it blows and you can still make jokes.

If I want a high end card, I do buy from ebay or BOcards like I just recently did. I don't sell on ebay. I have probably sold 4 items in 5 years. It is really a lot of work that I don't have time for. I am strictly a collector and I want to be able to enjoy the hobby. Not race to Target and Walmart every Thursday morning.

I hope everyone gets what they want with what they buy.

Since you seem to at least understand and can handle sarcasm, I'll congratulate you on the Zion. I live several hundred miles away from you and given the collation of Optic, I wish I had cleaned out your Walmart, because there were probably a few more in that shipment.

You’re funny. Next time you wanna dig something up about something that happened a long time ago gets your facts straight. He and I worked that out. I also took responsibility for my behavior. That’s what adults do troll. But congrats on being an immature
troll and bringing something into this thread that has nothing to do with it. Grow up.

You seem to have a pretty thin skin about any reference to your prior illegal actions. It's

though...

Do try to obey the speed limit when you're racing around to all those Walmarts and Targets so you can scoop up all the Prizm and Optic, because it would be an incredible loss to the world at large ...

Thin skin? Nah. Just don’t get why you’d try to start something in a thread that has nothing to do with it. It’s been over, and resolved. Apparently you still have an issue though with it. If you want to have a mature conversation about it, I’d be glad to elaborate in PM. But like I said, it’s over, dead and buried by all parties. Sorry you didn’t get the memo.

This is no joke. I finally found some at a WalMart, and of course I opened it, because I have no willpower.

In 6 boxes, I have 4-5 of some rookies. Not Zion or Morant of course, but my buddy Cody Martin was in practically every box.
