Boomo99, Rainwhisker, Boomos Buyback - SCAMMER ALERT

[Shohei JP Auto]

All, check out this thread and be warned before you do any business with Boomos Breaks. Share with your friends as well. He's almost certainly a scammer and he's becoming more and more brazen. His "buyback" product is what sent everything over the edge. He couldn't help himself.

Between grading being a scam, artificial scarcity, and cards not being 10's straight out of the pack, I'm not sure why half the people on this site even enjoy cards.

We are here for the babes! And the Ruthies!

he literally looks like a walking/talking scam. How anyone can continue to support and do breaks with that guy after all these years is hilarious to me.

[Shohei JP Auto]

He is a walking scam, con-man, whatever you want to call him. Before he use to just peel off nice cards/parallels, etc. from unsuspecting bidders as of course he doesn't show the cards....which is insanity how ppl let him get away with that. But, his new buyback product he schemed up took this thing to another level. He wasn't scamming people enough that he needed to make thousands more off them by completely rigging a buyback....all while claiming it was "impartially done".....Lol.....that's the only funny thing he's ever said.

Agreed. Dont’t forget pack searchers, people who don’t ship cards, people who ship cards incorrectly, shilling, people who cancel bids, too many series releases, excessive grading fees, excessive grading time, etc.

There’s so much negativity on the boards right now. If someone new to the hobbby came on here, not sure why they would want to start collecting. I get that there are legit problems, but the angry, end of the world posts makes me question why people are even in the hobby if it makes them miserable.

A sad decline from his former genius innovation of the 100 - case Bowman break.

Think of all the color parallels and even guaranteed hits he skimmed off of that break. Probably paid for a years rent just from the skimming alone. $50-100 a case adds up quick.....with the occasional really big hit. In his first 2019 Bowman break this year he missed an auto in literally the first case. When some other person posts on the video about this and also asks him in the next Bowman break live about it he just plays it off as no big deal......"Yeah, I looked through the cards again and didn't find anything, they must have shorted us". Literally just bats an eye at it like nothing happened.....meanwhile there are breakers out there who have already ripped dozens of cases themselves without missing an auto.....yet his first case is missing one. What a piece of crap. What did he take? .....Wander, Vlad, Bart....was it color at that? Will never know. If I was the owner of those spots I'd have done a chargeback on him.

Wow. What a pile of excrement...

Scams are a scam!

It depends on what you want out of the sports card "hobby" and I do use the term "hobby" loosely these days. There is no doubt that the hobby has morphed into a huge business. I don't believe for a second that any people paying 3-5 digit prices (even 2 digit prices for that matter) for players who have never played a MLB game in their life are "collecting". It is all about the possibility of making money. For example, I try to get an autograph of any new Dodger player/card each year and look to spend no more than $10, but ideally less. I have never sold one card in the years I am doing this because it is a collecting interest for me. Year in and out, there are always a handful of players who you just can't buy right away due to the prospecting mentality (Willie Calhoun was a good example last year). Eventually most players cool off, BUT not after plenty of people have flipped these players for a profit and many others get stuck holding the bag when they poop out.

Same goes for condition sensitivity to an extreme. Pull a nice card from a pack with a minor flaw or defect and it used to be a bummer, but no big deal. Now it is a major concern, letters are written, scathing posts show up on forums, items are sent back for replacement, etc.

Deep down inside, I do think about the future selling possibility when I buy things, but only because I don't have plans to give my collection to anyone. My kids at this time have zero interest. I will probably pick a time down the road and start selling it off in hopes that I don't stick my family with the burden of trying to get rid of it later. There is a lot of junk/bulk, but there is also a lot of value to be mined out of it. However, it has always been for my enjoyment, even if I have spent tens of thousands of dollars over the last several decades. That money easily could have gone into coffee, movies, alcohol or a varity of other things that would have left me with nothing to show for it. I spend what I can afford to and yet still enjoy life the way I want to as well. I'd like to think I can have a nice pile of money for something else for my familiy once I sell the collection, but it won't be the end of the world if I don't.

I guess my point is that you can still enjoy the hobby of collecting something without getting wrapped up into the business aspect of it. I still have to fight other buyers on certain items that are new, unique or rare. But in the end, my primary collecting focus of Steve Garvey is not going to make me rich down the road, that I know for sure. However, I sure do enjoy the hell out of it for now!

You do realize my post was sarcastic, right?
