I'll never understand why these ALWAYS skyrocket (last year's didn't but they REALLY sucked). Even if you busted a case, you are still going to get hosed....even if you hit a $1000 card. Hard to imagine if you hit a $1000 card that the rest of the case (assuming no other big hits) is going to...
Sometimes I do know what i'm talking about. LOL.
I figured "a great price" as far as picking it up was sub 1K (I think there was too much risk on the flip at anything over that).
Honestly, if the piece didn't have the autograph on it, it would be about an $800 piece. The numbering and the...
Why are they hyping this up 6 months in advance? So much can, and does change. Obviously Chrome is a pretty steady product, but why get people hyped up for a release thats 6+ months away?
It's two fold. There's the gotta have it now crowd AND the college collectors. As soon as the draft is over, people scramble to find cards of the next IT player or their franchise QB. They don't necessarily want to wait 2-3 more months for those players to have their first NFL licensed/uni cards.
Its just one of the dangers of the job. I have sold tons of cases of Bowman Chrome autos and NEVER had this happen once though. Must just be bad luck. I just always put that the card is in NRMT or better condition. When people complain I ask them if they can verify the card is worse than...
Wait wait wait, you're going to get the card back before you refund him.....right?
You do realize that eBay can't force you to eat the $45 without you getting your card back right?
With Sam, I am glad he got drafted and is getting his shot. Especially with the "home town" team. About as accepting of an atmosphere that he could have hoped for.
I was more concerned that his sexuality was going to cost him his SHOT, not a spot on the team. If he's a legit locker room...
I am biased about Ricardo Allen being a Purdue fan, but he's a great fit for the Falcons as a nickle corner. Even though he's small, he's quick and super physical. He tackles his ass off and will be great on slot guys. He ended up playing MLB for us last year so his lack of pass defense #s...
Also, is it Ironic that a Carr sits atop the best QBs available with the Texans picking? I think so.
Will this one turn out to be at least serviceable, unlike his brother?
