    Picked up some 2025 Topps Series 1.

    Trying to get my kids interest in sports up.

    Here are my hits. I thought the Nolan Arenado Topps Chrome 2/5, was the best card, but after doing some research the Orelvis Martinez true photo is a nice hit.

    The surprise came this morning with the Rece Hinds 2/50. I had it for like a week and I did not notice it was a gold crackle. Looks like a nice card.

    Is it normal on ebay to send cards untracked? I know ebay standard envelopes tracking suck and don't always update, but just straight up no tracking? Bought a $18 card and paid $1.50 shipping and of course 20 days later still no card. Seller "i don't do tracking on cards under $20"

    No, because that's what eBay Standard shipping was literally meant to replace. I would try and get your money back.

    Any spring training hype on prospects to buy/sell on? I've got a ton of bowman from last few years i need to sort again.

    Lee is getting hyped in Tigers camp, which led me to find one of biggest sig downgrades I've ever seen

    I have some of Andrew Pinckney for the Nationals. He played at Bama all 4 years and was drafted and shot up to AAA in 2 seasons.

    Topps 2025 Series 1 baseball just came out last week. You can get a hobby box for around $100. Dylan Crews & James Wood are the top two rookies in the set. You will get an auto or a player used relic as your hit. You won't get $100 worth of cards.

    Baseball you could start with 2025 Topps Series 1. It just came out and Topps watered down retail a good bit but it's the first set of 2025 which has driven up the cost of hobby stuff.

    Football can be rough because Panini sucks mostly and Topps pro football stuff is unlicensed and is a turn off for folks.

    If you want college football Bowman Chrome University this year was pretty good and is quite affordable.

    To be fair though you won’t get your moneys worth in 98% of the boxes.

    My 2cents , rip what you want to collect, you like a
    product, rip it. Don’t worry what the masses like. You’ll enjoy it more.

    Who knows about the vintage jacket stuff? I vaguely remember buying this about 15 years ago while drunk in a thrift store and completely forgot about it until cleaning out a closet I never use. Only thing I can find is one asking $750 on eBay. It’s in remarkably good condition and is now at the dry cleaners.

    Walmart had Donruss Mega’s this morning, but I couldn’t bring myself to risk trouble with Mrs Ocho considering I just bought some. Pain.

    If you see WNBA Prizm blasters, you should buy ALL OF THEM. I did not buy all of them today, and after ripping them, major ragrets. Know what I'm sayin'?
