this weeks eTopps 6/22

[ChasHawk]

I guess that I'm a part time collector, part time opportunist then :lol:
I don't expect to make a profit every week though, and that's why
I don't buy every week.

The 2008 Cap'n Jeeta sells for $1 less than IPO on card target.

I bought that one last year thinking it was a no-brainer,
and ended up selling it for $.50 less than IPO. ::facepalm::

I guess as a former etopps collector I look at it differently. It's great when you make a profit, but to think you should be able to make a profit each week is crazy. It's that mentality that actually makes etopps less profitable. How many people are there that just want to flip etopps cards vs. the number that actually collect? If the sales numbers actually stayed in line with the numbers that people wanted you wouldn't see as many IPO's tank. I'd love to be able to buy Lebron James rc's for $10 and flip for $30 each week, but quick flips like that aren't easy to come by in etopps, on ebay, or in packs.
