I ordered 3 boxes of 2022 topps chrome platinum baseball from target last night, 29.99 each with free shipping. I know you collect mostly football but I was watching breaks of this product and it seemed like a decent buy.

Glad you dropped it off personally or it could’ve been more of a hassle than I am sure it was. To think someone else might’ve just paid them the 500 dollars.

I just hope he remains healthy.

That's much later than I can stay up! My husband doesn't go to bed until midnight some nights. I am amazed at the couples that go to bed at the same time. Sounds like torture.

Good luck on your breaks! I was hoping to pull some Tanner McKee. I think Frenzy keeps out bidding me on eBay.

The guy was trying to argue with my husband about it. I said exactly where I dropped it off and gave a description of the woman I handed it to.

Its just sad to me that they are overcharging for Score. It used to be my favorite product to open every year.

Wait a little. Stuff has been dropping. Legacy was already on sale at $149 from $179.

The lack of big two QBs (three if you count Levis) is going to hurt the wax sellers.

The worst thing to happen to cards was the pandemic. Everybody and their brother seemed to get into cards as flippers and the average collector is left holding the bag. I was hoping it would stabilized back to normal prices but the card companies realized they can charge whatever they want and most people will pay it.

It started in the latter half of 2019, cause I wouldn't buy topps series 2 at the ridiculous prices they were charging. Only bought Heritage and topps series 1 that year. Nothing else since which sucks but it is what it is.

They had to cancel my online grocery order. Just got back from shopping. The store wasn't as busy as I was anticipating so that was nice.

Yeah, I was hoping so, too.

You should double the bird feeders in your yard.

Today was even better overall. Didn't sell as many dollar cards but sold a bunch of unopened stuff among many other things. One of my regular customers gave me 3 5 row boxes of stuff and several smaller boxes of things. Mostly baseball. He just wanted it gone. I gave him about $100 in stuff yesterday.

The first 2 boxes were mostly player lots from the 80's and 90's. I will be able to bulk sell it by player at a show at some point. There was an oc Topps Ripken rc, some low numbered stuff, a few vintage stars, modern stars, over 100 index card autos including some hofs, 1986 McDonald's football with tabs. I do not know the nuances of the last items, but I am going to try to figure it out.

I'm guessing this person has a bunch of money. He knows I am on disability and would appreciate the stuff and will do the work to make a bit of money on it. I truly do appreciate it and am humbled by his generosity.

I have a pizza in the oven. After I eat, I have 1 more box to go through. I received it in the mail the other day. Have no clue what is in it.

What’s funny is a lot of cards I have would do great at a card show in dollar boxes and that is just the cards in my house. I haven’t visited my storage locker as the weather has been too hot but there are about 20 more tubs of cards there along with my autographed hockey pucks baseballs and a couple of plaques. I am so tempted to just put an ad out and sell them in bulk.

Up early because I couldn't sleep. I kept having very odd dreams.
