Good morning! Last Friday this year!!!

 

[tramers]

COFFEE REFILL . Checking prices on inserts I'll take to Stadium . Many have shot up like crazy . I have a limit of prices due to I cater more to kids with $5.00 to spend thus my team packs sell well . 100 teams NFL MLB NBA ---some DON'T sell LOL .Just went thru a 5000 count box one team and only found 5 cards that MIGHT sell . After all these years and I'm getting older I finally have a way to ALPHA boxes quicker . Always needing newer base commons .I'm in a team collector group which we buy boxes . This picture was at least 5 years ago . Now use tent and three eight foot tables- NOT at gate lowered sales at first . One table for each major sport . Come down this way = Might have couple extra tickets . Sometimes players will sign BEFORE AND AFTER GAME . Never know who will sign

Morning all!

Woke up at 4AM, with a sore throat and a little head cold. Plus, doing a 10 hour shift? No TY.

But am doing a FB Marketplace meetup to sell a $30 Harper /75...

Morning all! Gonna be a long, slow day. Hoping we can sneak out an hour early with it being the holiday weekend.

Many sign… plus it’s the thrill of the hunt! Great park and Barry makes you feel like royalty!

Thanks Dano ; I was raised that way . Also batting practice baseballs are possible .

Anyone ever heard of, or use, the CollX app? A buddy of mine told me about it, said his buddy uses it a lot

What do you use to check card prices?

Afternoon all! Closing out the year makes for a busy paperwork day.

@MrMet2.0 I downloaded the CollX & ALT apps a while back. Didn't care for them. I need to try them again. I'm sure they have made some changes.

No, they’re not mine. The set isn’t out yet.

He took a pic and sent it out before he sent them back to Topps…

 

[banjar]

Ah, I see. Still really neat to see all of them in one place. Even better that you're in touch with him.

Fun fact that probably 99% of FBC already knows. Fred Lynn and Ichiro are the only two people to win ROY and MVP in the same year.

What do you use to check card prices?

I check EBAY ---cut prices down on most . average 2 .00 ,I do have some 5.00 up priced cards. Team packs 5.00 . Inserts on some teams 1/2 ebay .Certain teams / player NEVER sell . I pay % of sales to stadium . So I have to price for that fee . My team packs 50 -75 different players all years , single stars . Consider I also get a place to leave 3 eight foot tables / tent . I take 8 3200 counts and display boxes for team packs ,three displays for singles . I have three Kids days = 1000 /3000 kids bused in . I average under 25 sets ups a season. Kids days $300.some times lot more , some night games under $75. = OUCH add rain outs. I have one customer average $50.00 a night . Only one shop -in mall with singles =my prices HALF of his . Stadium 5 miles from home . We have 4 season tickets so end of year not much profit LOL .Most REC teams will get pack of 15 misc cards FREE on nights I don't sell . Group we are in we get to eat supper with team once a month -NO autos at that . Some Players sign for fans before and after -both teams . this is how i keep track of team packs inventory

 

[tramers]

This month I gave close to 1000 plus packs of junk commons 15 to a pack to elementary schools . Several local recs get cards during season -----
