How “random” are the gold borders? Big buyers getting them? Getting backdoored like some other releases seem to have been?

** Looking for feedback, Need your top picks, See below:

I bought some cards off eBay from a local seller, turns out he is a great guy and I’m meeting up with him tomorrow to pick them up. He said he also has everything else (not listed) but if I wanted to get anymore for cash while I’m there he can give me a 15% discount from recent sales. He has all cards 17-50. If you were to put together a list of a few cards to grab now, at a 15% discount....which ones would they be? This is really to flip, and the goal is not lose (Too much) money and hopefully get lucky on a few
I already got Thomas/Baller, Ichiro/Ermsy, Clemente/Naturel, Mattingly/Blake, McGwire/Shore)
Basically just asking if there are any cards 17-50 I should grab with a 15% discount?

I think I might be able to secure a decent price too (recent sales + me haggling since I spent a lot already...then 15%)

I've read about at least two buyers receiving gold 1/1's from a single quantity purchase.

mossoholic · 05-24-2020, 03:45 PM

To everyone that thinks your preorders from ebay are safe, you realize these new cards won't be in hand for over a month? Maybe 2-3 months? How many sellers that sold 25-200 cards for $20 or less that can now sell them for $100-$300 a piece are going to ship those out to you? Before cards were only going from $20 or less to $30-$50 in value. With them being $100 or more a piece the seller is going to lose countless thousands on a single card. For example the Ted Williams Ermsy. These are going to be north of $300 when in hand.

Class act post right here.

Having an open mind is key, but we shouldn’t be blind either. (I’m talking about me and others that on occasion go all in).

Seriously. I just graduated college, and I've been hustling to make money via cards for 5 years. I've done really well. I'm an idiot for dismissing this as something stupid.

And yeah, obviously every opportunity should be properly analyzed with costs and benefits. Hoping for you (and myself now that I'm buying) that the market continues to stay strong.

You haven’t heard about Topps backdooring stuff before? Not out of the question...

Can someone explain this to me? I don't even think it's real.

I think it was a buy-it-now price on it.

Call his bluff. Ask for the FedEx tracking number.

It looks like he listed this for sale on 5/19 & sold all 8 within a day. I mean why wouldn't he wait to get it in hand at that point? Doesn't seem to add up.

Soxfanguy · 05-24-2020, 03:51 PM

10k is the new 5k

nerdherd020 · 05-24-2020, 03:53 PM

I step away for five minutes to answer a few emails and I need to catch up on three pages of reading. How many have we gone through since this morning... gotta be at least 50 pages.

ayalar09 · 05-24-2020, 03:55 PM

I think at this point with the numbers running up to 30K+ for each card, the cards are not going to rise much further.

The 1st Card: Ichiro, the Ermsy Trout....there are a ton of others....all released in a lot limited amounts, because people didn't take this seriously...me included.

If I could go back in time to 3/24/20 and start buying these, I'd buy in bulk. But right now I just don't see it worth it when 30K+ of each card is being sold.

You do understand that a lot of these sellers plan on continuing to sell 2020 cards for the next 6 months. How much future money are they costing themselves due to negative feedback by cancelling an order? A lot.

Ya, there are gonna be some sellers who cut off their nose to spite their face, but there are a whole lot more who will do right. I've found mine and if I go through eBay, it'll be through them.

There are bargains to be had out there. Just have to be in the right place at the right time.

OneBuck · 05-24-2020, 03:56 PM

I wonder if Topps is doing anything to increase production or if we’re just going to be waiting 6 months to get cards in-hand?

Just sort by print run, grab as many low ones as you can.
