They are idiots. They are still using crayons and writing like third graders.
No wonder they're so stupid.
I could make a mint selling to these guys. But my loyal customers would lose out. I enjoy their company when they stop in to shoot the stuff though.
Nuff said. I guess I do not care if you...
HA!
You caught me. I am minors4me playing a practical joke on you guys.
You guys are so smart.
I KNOW you cannot be fooled now.
Know it all nothings.
HA!
Makes you think though.
If I did have a printer and rushed down to print the invoices and showed them on here, other dealers would report me to Topps and I would not be allowed any more direct product from them for disclosing the prices on paper with my store and my name on it, address, and...
Keep an open mind. Or are you a seller also?
Not every one can be as cool as you and ready to hand over their information to Wikileaks like the Flash. Especially if they don't have a good computer and printer.
Typo. I meant 500 card shops in NYC and its burrows. I kind of count NJ as a burrow because I do get some business from there also. One or two from CT. If there are only 3 shops in CT makes sense its so small then that may be why I have a few from CT stop by every now and then.
If I go down to the store and find an invoice what would you want me to read off of it. I have no way to put it on a computer. However I'd think younger sellers who get direct also would have the capabilities to prove me wrong by putting up their real invoices from their product. I have an old...
Trust me. What I say is true or someone would have posted a Topps direct invoice showing otherwise, if I were a liar. Which I am not.
As far as believing me or another seller or not believing me.
Whatever floats your boat.
What boxes do I have in stock? Current or older boxes? I currently have no boxes of Bowman Chrome or Bowman Draft or Bowman Sterling or Bowman Platinum. Those items usually sell out the same day or next day. Depending on what time of day I receive them. I really have no new products in stock...
I think I said a few times before that a customer told me about this thread and that the question was asked how much was Bowman Sterling. He gave me a copy of a page and asked me to respond. And I have.
Is it just me or are some people here hard of hearing? I have never heard of hard of reading...
hockeyplayer I watched that video and it made me laugh. I have some customers who look like that guy. I wish I was as young and could move like him. But I bet I had more fun in the 1960s then he has. I did like the music sort of. It is not Elvis or Willie or Johnny but it was a funny sketch.
Oh...
Well I do not know who mama bear is. So if I am helping her that is not my point. A customer told me this was about how much did a real price of Bowman Sterling sell for direct. I came on and put on what it cost me. If that is a reason to ban me then so be it. I think I have freedom of speech...
Well a customer told me that Atlanta Sportscards or Blowout Sportscards are selling boxes of Bowman Chrome for around $38. I do not know if that is true or not? So maybe I spoke out of turn.
Then show a invoice of your Topps direct sheet of what you paid. You can say anything you want so that the truth does not come out. And if boxes of Bowman Chrome sold for $51 then why are dealers selling it for around $38 now? Has it already gone down in value? That quick?
I am actually having...
I doubt any dealer would want to post that info. If they did and it did not reflect the prices I pay then it is probably doctored.
Boy it sure got quiet when I mentioned how other shops could keep their doors open with all the rental costs and utility charges and buying costs and security costs...
Boxes of 2010 Bowman Chrome at my cost was $22.50 per box.
All right smartallecks, how do you propose that a baseball card store can stay open besides mine paying the prices you are quoting leaving no room for product that is not sold and having to pay for it any way and keeping the high...
It also probably helps to have known some retired members from Topps. I was one of the first shop owners Topps sold to direct from their warehouse and not a distributor.
But I saw where one person posted that Topps factory cost per box is $201? Boulderdash. I have customers who have told me...
No guys. Boxes cost me $70 per so my math is off. I paid $560 per 8 box case. I charged $100 per box, so I made $240 for the one case I opened and sold boxes of.
Hey give me a break. It is Sunday my only day off. I am thinking Pro Bowl not arguing with collectors. If I had my calculator here...
I have been selling Topps products for over 40 years now and what I wrote is the honest truth. I could care less if you believe it or not. Just a customer told me about this thread and I thought I would come on and tell you how much a box cost me directly from Topps.
Thanks for reading and enjoy...
Well I received 8 boxes per case broken down into 2 4 box cases. So one master case had 8 boxes in it but was in two seperate lots of four boxes. I only opened one 8 box case and sold those for $100 per box. I sold the other 8 box cases for $950. I did not break it down into 4 box cases. I made...
A customer of mine told me about this thread, and I have no problem telling you prices I pay directly from Topps. The price per box for 2010 Bowman Sterling is $90 per box or $720 per case. Now keep in mind that I have to buy a certain amount of every Topps and Pannini product that comes out...
