Pretty much all of us here have experience buying and selling prospect singles. So I'd like to get some opinions as to where you struggle and would like to get better in prospecting.
My biggest challenge is buying cards of lower tiered players for an upcoming draft [USAs]. I recently bought a 3 box break of Panini USAs for the price the seller paid for the unopened boxes. The only good card was a kris bryant jersey auto /99. I bought the lot for a patch auto but ended up misinterpreting the break and the card turned out to be a patch, no auto. So I'm stuck with 3 sets and several $2-$10 cards that really weren't worth my time to scan or list. I still anticipate breaking even or coming out slightly ahead, but the time it cost wasn't worthwhile.
