[@kyle580]

Backyard has always got loaded boxes. They are some of the worst ppl in the hobby

[@t206kid]

If you want to make money on cards, you need to hit up the $1 and under boxes. You will turn $1 into $5 no problem. There have been times I have also found $20, $30, $40, and even $50 cards in dollar boxes. Best card I ever found though in a $1 box was a Shaq Metal Lunchpins insert from the late 1990s. Found it about 2 years ago and sold in on ebay at auction for $210

[@adammucha3917]

Card collecting is catered to the breakers. Retail is garbage, and quality control is garbage. I have noticed the juiced boxes breakers get are of good quality control also.

not even true, like 3 museum cases at layton all had completely jacked up topps museum legends autos. every single one of them. every single day they are sending box and wrappers to customers to try and get replacements for damaged cards.

[@mingshuncheng8310]

I have been asking a question for my Panini era collectors. Look at what Topps has been doing. They will try very best to CANCEL the value of high end cards of the era. I mean, maybe one will ask how? Like I am holding a Wemby prizm 1/1 and there is no RPA for Wemby. Well, what about the first game jersey of Wemby PA and logomen released in 2025? It is not a rookie year card but surely a RPA. And looking at the naratives, our hobby hero can always make the new naratives, Championship year cards are more important than rookie year. (Just like their attitute for unlicensed cards) I mean people might think it is HARD to top the top tier cards. But the recent 6 10/10 Jordan Fleer 1986 showed us how easy someone with the network can CREATE something from nothing. And what can you do, I saw many people, especially those holding a MJ 1986 rookie auto said they were ugly, but the fact speaks itself. These 6 cards will be more expensive than any other 1986 rookie MJ, for now.

[@brinnonmorrison2082]

IMO you are getting manufactured scarcity creating /1 and /10 and so on. Person A pulls it. Sells it for a profit. Person B grades it and sells it for a high profit. There is a performance trigger from the player and Person C sells it for a profit. This may continue some. This forces the market high because the same thing is not happening with the Manning QB’s or Brees. Yes the price will plummet once they retire.

Noticed the same thing in baseball. Cards of prospects sometimes go for more than cards of Hall of Famers.
