Maybe it was the sellers choice. I just bought a $200+ card so I'll see what happens there. I certainly don't need some mouth breathing dip shit to tell me if my cards are legit. Ebay amazingly gets worse and worse each year.
Looks like I got that too. I got a message saying "Your order's confirmed. The seller will ship it for authentication."
Anyone looking to purchase a couple Vlad Jr. Topps Chrome RC? I have two that I would like to move and I thought I had them listed at decent price on eBay but no bites. $35 for the pair and that includes shipping
My issue with the authentication program is that you aren't able to return an item after it passes inspection unless the seller authorizes it. You're no longer covered under the money back program. I bought an expensive, raw card and when it came I noticed a small surface crease in the back. Probably enough to take it down to a 7. For a modern card, one would have thought they would consider that to not be a passing grade since a 7 is worth considerably less than raw. There have also been instances where the card was damaged by authenticators and they send the card anyway. I get what they were trying to do and for the most part I think it can be beneficial. There were tons of fake Brady, Steph, LeBron, and other pre-modern and vintage rookies circulating but do we really need to authenticate a card that came out within the past year? Or one that has already been graded by a major grading company? I sold a PSA-graded card last week and had to send it to authentication to....PSA...to authenticate the card that they've already authenticated once.
Local target had La Liga blasters and EPL Megas last night, thought about buying a blaster but decided not to
Also love that he was playing for Baltimore but they didn’t photoshop cards back then so he’s in his Toronto uniform
Bought my 2nd ever select ufc blaster. some rookie /49. ebay tells me it's about $150. i have no idea who these people are.
Speaking of eBay and authenticating: bought an Aaron Rodgers RC worth a few bucks from a reputable seller with 40k feedback. It was graded 10 by a company I’ve not heard of. They only had a front picture. Card arrived today. Not only is the card not secure in the slab, (it moves around when flipped) it has this on the back: I probably should’ve asked for pictures but I feel a little duped here
Woke up this morning with an offer on a card I'm selling. I accepted it. About lunch time I realized the buyer hasn't paid. Look at the buyers profile and he has grand total of zero (0) feedback. I've been duped. Gonna have to wait for the 5 days or so before I can relist without penalty.
You can still return if you're within the 3-day delivery window. There's a reason why they didn't include a picture of the back. If a seller with that much feedback doesn't have more than 1 picture then just assume they're attempting to hide something.
Not a site but Frank Js Boxes on Twitter has really good prices if you want something on release day. https://twitter.com/FrankJsBoxes?t=cdPPOg8yse0TyrLNpjXQHg&s=09 And Grand Slam Collectibles has good prices, especially for pre-orders https://onlyatgrandslam.com/
Worth a trip to the national. You’ll get an email a few months before the national to set up an appointment to trade in redemptions for black boxes or white boxes. They’re always worth more than the card you’re waiting on
Yeah my Ja'Marr Chase and Isaac Paredes are in Panini redemption purgatory. I think Chase might be signing now, though.
He is although he changed his signature from first initial and las name to just first and last initial
I mean you can sell the boxes for $500 cash to any of the sharks waiting by the booth as soon as you get them. And some are big hitters and they’ll tell you if you get one. I had a Charles Barkley redemption that they gave me a second year Mahomes patch auto from flawless for
I have a gold fields rated rookie auto, a fields contenders 1/1, fields gold standard 1/1 rpa, chase nebula ticket and some lesser cards
Yeah fields is my dude. Hoping to get one by end of September but don’t have my hopes up. Also think chase may crash before I can cash in.
You have the super bowl ticket fields? I have the prizm white sparkle auto fields and it was miscut so panini is having to replace it. She said she wasn’t sure if they had any more fields stickers and if they dont, they don’t expect him to sign any more until the off-season.
Is yours for sale? Mine is the 1/1 rookie roundup. Fields version of this. Mine are all on card except for gold standard so I may be sol.
