My son's elementary school is banning Pokemon cards. I get it, but it's still a bummer because it's one way he's making friends. This happen to anyone else?
Made an impromptu and very brief stop at my local card show. Grabbed this Riley Greene for $30 and bought two packs of cards for $20...pulled an auto of one of my all-time favs. Think I did ok. LFG!
@CardPurchaser
Don't be that person dumping on a former Wander collector that's in despair about their collection or trying to get out from under it. The whole situation sucks, and you being oh so snarky and witty in the replies is such a lame look.
Um. Pulled these from the same Topps Fire hobby box. Two 1/1 autos!! Shohei! How do I even go on? Guess I'm getting a safe deposit box this weekend. Watch here:
@CardPurchaser
I had two Topps Chrome buyback cards that were going to turn into pumpkins, so I stopped by the LCS today for a last-second redemption. Here's what I snagged.
Just a reminder the
#TheHobby
is better without your political posts. I'll block and unfollow as often as I need to (including thrice this morning) in order to prune the TL. Thanks.
Public service announcement: If you are replying more than two sales posts in a B/S/T, you're just making the experience worse for everyone and reducing the chances anybody will buy cards, especially from you. Pick your best cards (two posts max), w/your best prices, then STOP.
I've seen a lot of hobby gatekeeping lately. "This is bad. Don't do this. You're a fool if you whatever." Hobby how you want to hobby, just do it with a sense of honesty and kindness toward yourself and others. This stuff is fun. Don't let anyone tell you it's not.

If it's any consolation, the person that left that note must be an absolutely miserable person at all times. Nothing you say or do to them could amplify the misery they feel everyday, which is why they direct it outward.
Weekends are for cards I no longer own. How about Mariner Moose and Ichiro talking shop?

Nobody is telling you your low # rookie auto is trash. That's not a good-faith argument. There's simply a preference for many collectors to see the actual logos on the uniforms and cards, especially when the brand that has the logos (Topps) has been doing it for decades.
Wow, y'all really wanted me to give something away, huh?? Well, you've got your wish -- keep an eye out for a 2k followers giveaway in the next few days. Thanks for making a guy feel appreciated!
It's been a tough mental health week (as is common this time of year), so I thought I'd write out my thoughts and try to turn it into something actionable. If you're just looking for Jeremy Pena cards, feel free to move along...won't hold it against you.
My brother hit a restock yesterday (his pic) and said minutes after this, a guy swept the shelves clean of all Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome and Platinum megas. Is that still happening near you? Honestly haven't been chasing enough retail lately to know.
This is my 3-year-old Conor. He is on the Autism spectrum. He was non-verbal for most of his young life, but has made some incredible strides over the last year, even outpacing some of his neurotypical classmates. I'm so proud to be this sweet boy's dad.

So I visited a sports card store on vacation a few years ago. It didn't blow me away...nothing special. Think I spent $10 and left. I happened to be near it again today, figured I'd give them another shot and...well, they've upped their game.
@ChrisCotillo
...because it's not all true. Leadoff hitter has zero MLB at-bats, rotation is a neutral move at best (Kluber for Eovaldi and Hill is an upgrade??), Turner is older than JD and posted a lower OPS+ last year. All of this while operating like a poverty franchise.
@Paul_Lesko
READ is actually a really helpful one. It's a seller willingly taking a hit to communicate a flaw with the card. I wouldn't lump it in with these. Rocket ship emojis on the other hand...
Bro grabbed an S1 monster box for a family hangout today. We let our brother (not a collector) celebrity rip a single pack. The newbie magic NEVER fails.

If I can get anything done with two kids, a puppy and a full-time job, this college kid can get your card out on time. Blocked. Thanks for bringing the receipts.
Now that the kids are back at school and I'm back at my work desk, I can get back to

. And, uh, this recent pickup from
@Cards4sale49021
definitely qualifies.

sale will start at 4 p.m. EST today with some $3 lots, then taking a break and firing up again at 7 p.m. with $2 cards. Tomorrow will be $1 or less cards, then Friday will be $3+ singles. Maybe more this weekend...TBD. Around 100 lots in all. Rules here!

@CardPurchaser
For that kind of sale, I'd go super low end. Team bag some commons and sell for .50 cents or something. Maybe buy a hobby box of junk wax and sell packs for super cheap? Good luck!
All it takes to be a scammer is a little too much not giving a shit about other people. Thankfully, there's a lot of great folks here. Let's continue to build this thing we love.
Man, some of you guys are getting stingy with top loaders. I top load almost every card I send. I expect cards I pay $5+ for to be top loaded. Not a crazy ask. Might have to start buying (or not) accordingly.
@bowman1951
It's bonkers that PSA 9s often go for less than raw. The hobby as a whole needs a recalibration on that...especially given Topps slipping standards on QC.
Me: "Bring back Gypsy Queen."
Topps: "How about mini Heritage cards?"
Me: "...well, no, you already have two Heritage releases-"
Topps: "Here are your tiny cards. You're welcome!"

@PCOregonDucks
Lol...people arguing that you should get in a physical altercation (where you're outnumbered, no less) over a pack of retail cards. Is it gross? Yes. Should you fight over it? Uh, no.
@CardPurchaser
I buy and sell PWE all the time. The vast majority arrive without issue...as long as the person packaging them has a clue what they're doing.
Forever disclaimer: One awesome card coming out of a blaster that the X algo amplifies for everyone to see does not automatically make for a loaded format or product. It doesn't even make for a good sample size. Rip if you have the disposable income, don't if you don't.
@ForePutt13
@CardPurchaser
A lot of people made grading mistakes when re-entering the hobby a year ago. Now that the PSA backlog is finally clearing, people are getting their cards back, but the value is gone, so they're getting whatever they can.
Can any of my fellow bargain box diggers relate to the unique dread of realizing way too late that you probably just skipped right over a $30 card in a $1 bin at the LCS that isn't close enough to easily drive back to? Still had a nice haul but ugh.
Can somebody explain the "not $1" thing to me? When I see it on a sale, it's super off-putting to me. Basically the same thing as "DM me for price." Does it work for any of you sellers out there (and how)?
@CardPurchaser
People. No, really, are you listening? People...I don't want to hear your half-baked political commentary. I left normie Twitter for that. I can go back there and get the facts. Just stop. Make Hobby Twitter cool, supportive and inclusive.
Thought I'd be able to save this one for the World Series, but suppose not. The B&W feels appropriate today.

Do you have a Bryce or Phillies card to show off for

?
It feels like a lot of people dropped out of the hobby this year. While I understand the many reasons why this might happen, it's a bummer to see. In 2024, I hope you all find a way to hobby enjoyably and sustainably.
It's Topps Series 1 week! Obviously, you want Wander -- get in line. What else are you looking for? What do you hope to see? What formats are you buying?
