….and explanation for negative feedback

I have canceled 3 orders 2 were due to an incorrect posting on Topps Project 2020 ~ 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. #5 By King Saladeen, This was due to me adjusting my template so it never should have been posted and was refunded both times on that item and was never resold because the item was sold a month ago. This posting was in error and was canceled.
The other cancelation was due to being harassed over Project 2020 cards that were not even shipped out by Topps as I was threatened and called a thief for not shipping items that sold on Sat May 23rd by Tue May 26th when Topps has not even shipped them yet.

The DJIA tanked to 18591 on March 23. I work for a financial planning firm. We had clients pull all of their money out of the stock market (against our recommendation). In just two months, you would have realized a monster return if you invested more money when the market dropped out.

Great time to buy if you've got some cash laying around.
I just hope you guys weren’t recommending it! Obviously spot for federal government intervention and massive liquidity injection from the Fed via QE. I just hope now that Gary V will be our version of unlimited QE.

Yeah hahaha. I don't think he's doing anything wrong (as long as he's shipping). The buyers are just uneducated.

Its dumb.

Likely a scenario where people think they are being smart by investing on lower priced items with future growth. Thing they dont understand is the dynamics around the presale mess and will ultimately get screwed.

LOW PRs should be invested simple as that. At the end of the day a 5-8k PR card is simply not going to have the value in 2 months that a sub 2k PR has.

Anyone who loaded up the CC in the hopes of making a quick profit on PRESALES in order to pay off the CC is a donk.

Yeah short term that caused a market crash. Long term, this caused a buying window for the savvy investor.

Said note - My buddies Dad pulled out of the stock market because he was close to retirement when the market crashed. Total panic move cost him 30%. My jaw almost hit the floor when he told me. That was before the market rebounded.

So are some of the sellers; people who have never ventured into the card hobby before.

Hold on to your hats and buckle up. Think by next Friday I will be kicking myself for not buying even more yesterday and today. What do I know though, nothing. The whole Gary V thing and timing as others have mentioned is strategically calculated.

I collect both flag ship rookies and early Topps Project cards. Why do everyone against this set fail to mention. Topps and Panini has printed millions of rookie cards for the top player people collect.I seen people in Facebook group's with thousands of graded PSA cards of certain players. I personally think that could go more of a junk wax era then this. The printed presses or some what control on project cards. Only thing holding project stuff back is their not Rookie Cards but the other variables off set that negative.

When the market hit that low of 18,591, the smart people yelled "Time to buy, buy, buy."

This feels like it’s turning into the Prospect Rush thread all over again. Except with more hype and more scamming and more manipulation.

Anyone figure out this, or is just the collaboration on Trout?
