Man, why aren’t you loading up on topps update boxes?

It’s a goldmine.

If you’re not an investor boi, continue to enjoy collecting!

Could someone please explain this exchange to me?

Cardbrother said that everyone remaining on the forums (me and anyone else reading this) is an investor boi… right? No one was excluded from this statement.

If I haven’t sold, am not selling, and don’t plan to sell - what makes me an investor boi?

So he lumped people together and called them a name (which I find derogatory), but then said “If you’re not…”?

I just don’t understand the approach or thinking behind it. If his first statement was correct, then there should be no “If you’re not…” If his first statement was made in error, that should be acknowledged.

I don’t put the way I approach the hobby into any category, but I don’t want others to do so.

You realize I essentially called myself an investor boi as well, right?

I know you have thicker skin than that.

I’m just trying to understand the terms and underlying connotations.

I have bought singles, a couple boxes and into one break since the pandemic. Since that time, I have been called a sheep, flipper boi, invested boi, muppet, Fozzie, John, gambler, etc. I don’t think any of that applies, and I want to understand the facts and thinking behind it. I’m trying to do so.

I’m not upset - I have thick skin… I’m just trying to understand.

Never try to understand cardbro. He literally just admitted to trolling this board for fun. He'll say anything to get a rise out of people, even if it makes no sense.

Don’t internalize something you aren’t. It’s as simple as that.

What a sad MO

I’m not something… or did you forget to finish that sentence?

[Bunny Hop]

I often forget which thread this is immediately after clicking on it. I won't be picking up any Update at release and I also missed picking up any series 2 -- just been a slow summer of wax for me. I wish my LCS was a little bit closer. Hopefully in the offseason I can pick up a hobby of each. I did enjoy series 1 and it's been too long.

[MtnAg08]

Has anybody seen a picture of what the holiday parallel card will look like? I assume the jack o'lantern and ghosts parallels will look similar to last year but don't feel like last year's orange/black variation translates to what they did with the Easter and 4th of July ones earlier this year so am hoping it's a little different.

Before they announced the release date I was hoping for a Thanksgiving theme this year since they did Halloween last year. Being so early in October rerunning the Halloween theme makes sense though.

So frequently, customers can take advantage of that discount from dealers locally and be able to buy in at a lower price if they are patient and don’t have the compulsion to rip and flip immediately. Or is that just common knowledge?

Does that sound like complaining?

Yes. Everything you've said has been complaining.

You haven't said a damn thing that people here don't already know. You can't be serious to think that was some hot tip...

Yes it's pretty common knowledge that demand is highest at release. It's common knowledge that it's a race to the bottom with singles.

Yup. He's nothing but a troll. Then tries playing the victim card when people fire back.

He's in full backtrack mode now.

Quit crying when people fire back.

Sorry, understanding why prices have increased is not some complex explanation. It's also something you never explained, which you claimed that's why you were here. That quickly backtracked to you just being here for entertainment. Which honestly I wish the mods would actually take care of accounts that blatantly admit are just here to troll.

It took two pages of back and forth before you actually offered any insight, and then that insight was nothing unique or new.

And what you said about breakers can't be true, because msucollector told me that there's easily 10 times as many breakers that aren't getting product at the distribution level but are buying at the general public level.

Sorry, moving product that isn't selling, even if it means taking a loss, isn't some hot secret only you knew about. Breakers don't want to sit on inventory, not a shocker.

Like the typical troll he is, Herman is pulling the same garbage over in the Chrome Cosmic thread, whining about how someone else does the hobby.

Sounds like he's jealous that breakers and flippers are making more money than him.

Buddy, don't cry because Eastbay is flipping product, just be patient and buy when the rush dies down and prices drop.

Checklist looks pretty Solid a Bunch of Skenes Cards, what is everyones thoughts on this checklist.

Sorry but you couldn't be more wrong with this take. Breaking is clearly the biggest draw/contributing factor to the increase. I don't even see how you make a argument against it. Look how many breakers there are and how many breaks are done everyday

You do realize you're giving him exactly what he wants right? You know how you deal with "trolls"? You ignore them and don't engage

Your logic is flawed. Breaking exists because cutomers want it. Not the other way around. Tell me I'm wrong all you want. You have no basis.

Why did breaks become a thing?
