    I bought it mid April and the estimated item in hand date was like April 30. I reached out to the seller last week through the eBay options, and it said that if I didn't get any feedback by today, to submit a claim.

    I'll probably try and save a bunch for auto spots. I think the Wander Franco spot in the 20 caser last year went for 7k

    I've got a handful of boxes of 1990-1993 Topps & Upper Deck cards as well as an '87 O-Pee-Chee wax box that I picked up at the store I work at. A couple are unsealed and a couple are still factory. Wanted to ask y'all, should I just bust these open and see what I've got inside, or is there any sense in just holding them as is? I haven't seriously collected cards since I was a kid in the '90s, but I couldn't pass up the deal I could get on them and have been wanting to get back into the collecting game.

    This is on your seller. They've printed the label but haven't shipped it for some reason. The one good thing about ebay is that you have all the power as the buyer so you can open a case and it'll either get your seller to ship the item or ebay will give you a full refund.

    This was through Beckett but yea, I contacted him and he told me they’re two weeks behind due to labor and had printed the labels already.

    Could be the post office fault too though. Like I said on the last page, I sold something on ebay and it indicates label created as the last update for 6 days after i sent it because no one at post office bothered scanning it.

    So I bought two spots in the Bowman 1st 2 box breaks last night with Houdini. My spot in the first was 1 off from the Royals and the A's. Spot in break 2 was 1 from the Yankees.

    Got the Twins in first break so it wasn't shit. Got Giants in break two and got 2 sky blue parallel's, so I guess it could have been worse. Also managed to get a Bobby Witt Jr for $18.

    Box/case breaks are the equivalent to gambling at home, and I hate how much I love it

    Fuckkkk you are about to get paid. I think people buying these blasters for these inflated prices are insane, barely worth it at the 20 dollar mark.

    Just watched a video of a guy who bought $750 worth of Mosaic and was expecting to sell all the good stuff for over $1k. Ridiculous.

    It’s bonkers. I couldn’t believe they were on the shelf. I’m just trying to decide when to post them and for how much.

    I'm trying to figure out why Mosaic is all of a sudden a desired product. Perhaps it is the cheaper, more attainable version of Prizm or Optic? I don't know but I wouldn't get caught up in all the hype of it. I'd sell that stuff ASAP and take some profit.

    I dont get what's going on with usps. Every first class delivery I've gotten has taken forever, but one card I got was sent in an envelope with regular mail no tracking and it got here early, before cards I bought with first class shipping many days before. And it came from NY, so its not like it was local.

    I think I heard so many people are using post service, and I’m guessing even more so first class, and it’s clogging it up.

    bought a blaster box of donruss optic football yesterday because there hasn't been shit else around at walmart/target here in months. It says there is 1 rookie memorabilia card per box and an average of 2 rated rookies.

    there wasn't a single fucking thing in that box, not even some shitty rookie. the best card i pulled was a matt ryan base card. Fuck you donruss.

    I'd understand if you honestly didn't have a clue what you just pulled but the kid is wearing gloves so clearly he rips a lot of wax. I'm with you, it makes me a little mad. Probably because I'm jealous as hell

    Right. It’s not like I’m fuming anger, but how can you be that into the hobby and just stroll through a card like that? Not saying jump for joy, but give a “oh crap/omg” response lol.

    Can’t imagine that kid has pulled anything close to the value of that card

    If you get a Ja or Zion it pays for all those and then some. If I can sell another one or two at $70+ I will open the last.

    I just don’t have a huge investment in basketball cards. Too expensive for my taste.

    From my experience* it is, unless you have a social media base that will buy.

    So I stopped at the Walmart in the town I’m working at and found a mosaic mega box grabbed that for 55 and see they are selling for 3 times that. Then hit up another Walmart and grabbed two boxes of 2029 elite extra edition and hit a Riley Greene patch that is out of 25. Overall I’d say today was a good day.
