  @XRPspider I totally understand your frustration, but you ordered them at a price that you agreed on and you received what you ordered. If you want a lower price you can get it at those locations. I don’t think I would feel comfortable doing this as a seller, but the seller goes to the trouble of finding items that they can mark up. That’s how it works. I resell on eBay. I search for hours for items that are low cost that can be resold. My Free People dress with tags may have only cost me $3 and resell at $50, but the work that I put into finding it at that low price is my job. I’m kind of on the fence on this.

  @MangaMoguraRE Thank god, people are trying to sell volume 1 for $65+ on Ebay. I already got my copy before all that, but it sucks seeing resellers get so greedy. This will bring the prices back down thankfully.

  @CardsEnzo I lived and died by the eBay $0.99 7day auction even in the down market. But in the last ~12 months, the norm is sales well below comps, even on liquid cards / hot players. I’m all BIN OBO these days.

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  @WilliamT268238 @TeddyRJ741 What news? If it came that it bought eBay, price world go down. If it came that the deal is 100% off, the price would go down. The only thing that would raise the price is if GameStop fired Ryan Cohen, and made a statement saying they would never dilute the shareholders again.

  @RobertKreib @CardPurchaser I send all of mine to consigner for eBay. I’m never going to take all the time to do. I don’t have to ship them and if they get returned, they are not my problem. I’ve probably sold 5000 cards this way and it completely worth taking the hit on their cut.

  OUTRAGE! Charles Spencer Wrote About His Own Sister Someone fetch the smelling salts. Apparently Charles Spencer has committed an unforgivable offense. He wrote a book about his sister, Diana. Yes, that Diana. And judging by some of the outrage, you would think he had broken into Althorp at midnight, dug up the family silver and sold it on eBay. I have no problem with it. Charles Spencer was Diana’s brother. He knew her before the tiaras, photographers, documentaries, biographies, podcasts and armies of strangers began explaining what Diana thought, felt, wanted and would supposedly think about absolutely everything happening in 2026. If anyone has standing to write “Diana, My Sister,” I’m going to suggest her actual brother qualifies. Naturally, the accusations have begun: He’s exploiting her! He’s making money from Diana! He should let her rest! Please. An entire industry has been making money from Diana for nearly thirty years. Biographers, broadcasters, documentary makers, royal commentators and people with YouTube channels have built small civilizations around discussing her. But suddenly her brother writes a book and everyone discovers ethical publishing. Also, Charles Spencer is an author. Authors write books. Publishers sell them. This is generally how publishing works, unless we have entered a brave new literary economy where authors distribute manuscripts outside Tesco in return for compliments and Nectar points. Will Spencer be biased? Of course. She was his sister. His memories are his memories. Other people may remember events differently. Readers can compare accounts, disagree with him and decide for themselves. It’s called reading. And at least Spencer isn’t claiming his wife is Diana 2.0. No announcements that she has inherited Diana’s humanitarian halo, fashion mantle, tragic destiny, public adoration and possibly her favorite handbag. He married a woman. He did not launch The People’s Princess: The Sequel. So perhaps everyone can put the pearls back around their necks. Nobody has to buy the book. Nobody has to agree with it. But Charles Spencer knew Diana when she was simply his sister, long before the rest of the world claimed ownership of her memory. That perspective is worth hearing. After decades of strangers explaining Diana to the Spencer family, I think we can survive one Spencer explaining Diana to us. It’s a book, people. Get over it.

  Low-liquidity markets always interested me in a way that extremely liquid markets didn't. Wym I can push the price up or down in the short term, that's awesome This is one of the reasons that TCG markets always interested me. You're telling me if I buy this slab, and it's the cheapest one available, I can set the new price, higher? And be instantly up?(Atleast unrealized) There's actually a lot of opportunity to make money fast in lower liquidity markets, with less risk IMO, if you're lower-size (sub 100 million). It's also kind of safer too in a way, if price drops, I can just push it back up, and be back at break even or even higher. You just have to be patient. During Covid I did this experiment with WoW TCG sealed booster boxes, and unironically became one of the biggest whales in sealed WoW TCG. There's several products from that game, where on eBay, I literally am the market, if someone wants it they gotta pay what I say. The loot cards are still redeemable btw. It's fun, and teaches you a lot about how markets work.

  Xmoney suggestion, a predominant amount of users are premium and not premium plus. There needs to be an active tracker for deposits after the 1000$ has been met, because we won't know whether we will be dropped back down to 4% or not. Many deposits like from ebay, tiktok and others are not counted towards the 1000$ threshold of monthly deposits. .@XMoney

  @WCRaustler Good question. I wrote my first non-fiction book in 1998 (at 28) it was a simple eBook called Autopilot eBay which showed people how to sell digital delivery items on that marketplace. I offered it as an PLR product. It was eventually translated into 16 languages. Most of those by customers who translated in long before AI and made it available for their country. I did not start sooner because I did not have an idea for a book before that. I later used that same kind of idea, finding a common problem, and providing a simple proven solution. To write many more books. Just getting into fiction now after helping many fiction authors find their way in the publishing process. It matters less when you start but how well you finish. For many it is just publishing that one meaningful book. For others it is an unspoken passion that drives them.

  ToppsNowToday (@josephwmayjr) reported 51 minutes ago

  The Cards Are Rare. But Does @Topps Care? Joe May — Topps Now Today #Fanatics Let me warn you from the beginning: This is going to be a negative article. I do not enjoy writing negative articles about Topps NOW. I have spent the last decade collecting, promoting and defending this product. I own at least one copy of every MLB Topps NOW card. I have built a community around it. I want Topps NOW to succeed. That is precisely why I am writing this. Yesterday, I asked whether collectors care about genuinely rare Topps NOW cards. Today, I have a more uncomfortable question: Does Topps care about Topps NOW? The Joshua Báez Chase Joshua Báez just had the kind of MLB debut that Topps NOW was invented to capture: three home runs in his first Major League game. Card #555 commemorated that moment, and Topps added a relic chase consisting of redemption cards numbered to /10, /5 and 1/1. That means 16 collectors will eventually receive relic cards connected to this historic performance. Topps officially listed the three relic levels on the card’s product page. We chased them! But after speaking with some individuals in the know, my fear about the relic material was.....How do I put this? Well know I will not be changing yesterday’s article, It was pretty much spot on without me even needing to talk to anyone associated with Topps. So I will offer this advice: If you receive one of those 16 redemption cards, sell it before the finished card arrives. The redemption allows a buyer to imagine a spectacular piece of the base—a logo, a painted section, a corner or something else worthy of a 1/1, /5 or /10. Once the actual card arrives, that imagination will for sure disappear. Now I've been told that they will try to make the one of one better than it appears but they don't have to it's pretty much what you see is what you get. You may receive an ordinary, ***** piece from the top or even bottom of the base. Your 1/1 might distinguish itself primarily through foil and numbering while containing relic material that looks like it belongs in a card numbered to /99. Actually people will be pulling cards like this from flagship commemorating this exact day an exact event and it will be numbered to 99 and it will look better than your one-on-one. The redemption may honestly be more exciting than the finished card. And that's a sad state of affairs. Topps NOW Once Led the Way This was not always the situation. In 2016, Topps NOW produced event-specific base relics that were genuinely remarkable. These were not generic pieces of memorabilia pulled from storage and placed into cards having no connection to the pictured moment. The relic was part of the story. Perhaps the most iconic relic card from the early years of Topps NOW is the 2016 “Bryzzo” card. It commemorates the final out of the 2016 World Series: Kris Bryant fielding the ball and throwing it to Anthony Rizzo at first base, ending the Chicago Cubs’ 108-year championship drought. Topps created dual-autographed relic versions containing pieces of a base used during Game 7, and those pieces were MLB authenticated. Those relics received the good pieces—the jewel sections, logos, edges and other visually distinctive parts that made each card feel connected to that exact night. That is why the Bryzzo relic has become one of the defining cards of early Topps NOW. The card did not merely commemorate history. It contained a recognizable physical piece of that history. Now imagine that same moment happening today. Would the Topps NOW 1/1 receive the best section of the base? Would the /5 and /10 cards contain jewel or logo pieces worthy of the final out of a World Series? Or would Topps NOW collectors receive plain sections from the bottom while the premium pieces were saved for future pack-pulled products? I honestly feel sorry for collectors who hit some of these modern World Series relics. They may wait months for a redemption, expecting something worthy of the moment, only to receive an ordinary piece that looks nothing like a premium relic. That approach will damage the entire product line. Topps and Fanatics may generate additional revenue by saving the best pieces for Dynasty, Definitive, Transcendent and other future releases. But in doing so, they risk neglecting the product that captured the event when it actually happened. They are weakening one of the very features that helped make Topps NOW successful. Some of those 2016 cards contain tremendous logo, jewels and easily recognizable base pieces. They are distinctive, immediately recognizable and worthy of their numbering. Unfortunately, hindsight is undefeated. If Topps had known what those pieces might mean years later, perhaps it would have saved every great section of those bases for a premium 2016 commemorative product released during the tenth anniversary. Instead, Topps NOW collectors received them. Imagine that. The Bryzzo card demonstrated what Topps NOW could be. If that same card were produced under the apparent modern relic hierarchy, the pieces that made it iconic might never reach Topps NOW collectors at all. Fanatics may believe it is protecting the value of its future premium products. In reality, it may be destroying the value—and eventually the collector interest—of the product that made those pieces meaningful in the first place. My Wembanyama 1/1 I have already experienced this with my Victor Wembanyama Topps NOW 1/1 relic. I understood that a Wembanyama relic from Topps NOW might eventually be surpassed by a spectacular premium card from another product. That is business. What I did not expect was for my 1/1 to be visually outclassed by seemingly every /5 and /10 relic placed into other products. A 1/1 should represent the best available presentation—or at least something approaching it. It should not feel like the product received whatever material remained after every pack-pulled brand selected its pieces. That is the problem. The Unofficial Relic Hierarchy Topps does not publish an official chart ranking which products receive the best relic material. What collectors see, however, creates an obvious perceived hierarchy. Topps and Bowman currently support an enormous baseball portfolio: Flagship Series 1 and Series 2, Update, Bowman, Bowman Chrome, Bowman Draft, Topps Chrome, Chrome Sapphire, Logofractor, Finest, Heritage, Stadium Club, Brooklyn Collection, Dynamic Duals, Inception, Museum Collection, Pristine, Tribute, Tier One, Definitive, Dynasty and Transcendent—among others listed in Topps’ own current and recent checklist catalog. Topps’ official checklist page shows the breadth of that product lineup. Some are inexpensive. Others cost more than many collectors’ monthly mortgage payments. Yet when the impressive relic pieces are distributed, Topps NOW appears to sit beneath all of them. Topps NOW may have captured the event first. It may have sold the card while everyone was still talking about the performance. Its collectors may have financed the acquisition of the base through their purchases. But when that base is cut, the best sections appear destined for products with future revenue still attached to them. The Topps NOW sales clock has already expired. The money has already been collected. The card has not even been manufactured, but its revenue stream is finished. From a short-term business perspective, I understand the temptation. Why place the best piece into a product that can no longer generate another sale when it could become the centerpiece of a future premium release? I understand it. I just think it is shortsighted. Topps Is Teaching Collectors How to Value Its Product If Topps treats Topps NOW as the bottom of its own relic hierarchy, why should collectors treat it differently? Why should someone chase a Topps NOW 1/1 redemption when they can wait for the same base to appear in Dynasty, Definitive, Museum Collection, Tier One, Tribute or another pack-pulled release with a much more attractive piece? Why should collectors pay a premium during the 24-hour window? Why not wait, buy one base card from the cheapest eBay seller and return to chasing packs? Topps NOW created an entirely new category of collecting. It taught people to value immediacy, exact moments and verified print runs. It taught us that the first card commemorating an event could matter. But Topps cannot ask collectors to love this product more than Topps appears to love it. If the company continually reserves the best material for every other brand, it is effectively telling collectors that Topps NOW is inferior. Eventually, collectors will believe them. The Opportunity Topps Is Missing Imagine if the Joshua Báez 1/1 arrived before the season ended with a spectacular logo or jewel base piece. The winner would post it everywhere. Collectors would say, “Look at that card.” The next time Topps NOW offered a relic chase, more people would participate. More cards would sell. The photograph of that incredible 1/1 would continue advertising the product long after the original sales clock expired. That is how Topps NOW becomes stronger. It's how it became what it is today. A remarkable relic is not wasted on a completed sale. It is marketing for the next hundred sales. Instead, a disappointing relic teaches collectors not to chase the next one. That may save premium material for another product, but it slowly destroys one of the best features Topps NOW ever offered. My Advice Thankfully, Topps NOW autographs are different. I still believe those can be among the most significant cards in the entire hobby because they connect an autograph to a specific achievement almost immediately. Though even that's changing many autographs if not in other products already we'll forego a Topps Now autograph... Preferring to wait for flagship or some other more important brand. But I can no longer recommend chasing Topps NOW base relics with the same enthusiasm. They were once among the greatest things the product offered. Today, too many feel like a promise of something special followed by a routine piece of material surrounded by different-colored foil. The mockup may show an ordinary piece, so perhaps nobody can technically call it a bait and switch. But that does not make the finished card any less disappointing. So, if you receive that beautiful blue Joshua Báez redemption card, take a good look at it. Then consider taking it directly to eBay while collectors can still imagine what the relic might become. Because once the finished card arrives, the most valuable thing inside that redemption may have been the expectation. I do not want Topps NOW to fail. I want Fanatics and Topps executives to recognize that they are weakening a product that many of us genuinely love. Topps NOW does not need preferential treatment. It simply deserves relic pieces worthy of the moments it was created to preserve.

  In 1954 Mickey Mantle was the best baseball player in America. In 1994 he was a raging alcoholic with a failing liver. He jumped the transplant queue, got a new liver, kept drinking, and died anyway. The liver went to someone who could pay. Not to someone who needed it most. That is not a legal question. It is not a moral question. It is a microeconomics question - and there is a Harvard lecture that builds the framework to answer it from scratch. His name is Jonathan Gruber. MIT, 14.01, Principles of Microeconomics. He advised the Massachusetts health reform that became the model for the Affordable Care Act. He has taught this course at MIT for over two decades. This is lecture 1. One claim: every decision you have ever made is a constrained optimization problem. You just did not know it had a name. At 08:17 he uses the iPod to show how three questions get answered simultaneously by one mechanism. What gets produced. How it gets produced. Who gets it. The answer to all three is the same variable: price. One number coordinates millions of strangers without any of them knowing the others exist. At 19:13 he gives Adam Smith's paradox. Water is necessary for life. Diamonds are not. Water is nearly free. Diamonds cost a fortune. Smith had the question in 1776. The answer requires both sides of one equation - and the side he was missing is what this course is built on. At 21:15 he puts the kidney auction on eBay to the room. Starting price $25,000. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. He asks whether eBay was wrong. The students argue. He does not resolve it. He says that question will take the rest of the semester to answer properly. A consultant I know says this is the lecture that made her realize she had been solving optimization problems her whole life without the vocabulary to describe them. Says she started seeing supply and demand curves in arguments she had been losing for years. Free on MIT OpenCourseWare, all 33 lectures. The kidney question from lecture 1 does not get a clean answer until week twelve. Most people who have opinions about ***** markets have never watched the part where the model is actually built.
