    Beautiful card is the red outburst. Upper Deck make some very nice cards indeed.

    Bummer. At least it's 20% from a $200 box and not a $500 or even a $400 box. Getting $200 back from a $1,000 is a sickening feeling. Some people get lucky and pull Bedard in blasters and then others open 8 hobby boxes and nothing. You'll be able to get him for $300USD in the off season - maybe...

    Got my Bedard YG and 3 blasters. I opened one of the blasters and got 2 Young Guns, Kartye and Hunt. I'll leave the other two unopened for as long as I can. Tossing up whether to grade the Bedard. Looks to have a better than 50/50 shot. The bottom left corner looks slightly iffy on it but quite...

    Best pack you've ever opened?

    I haven't opened a huge amount of NBA but I pulled a 2018-19 Panini Prizm /25 blaster exclusive rookie of SGA. I listed it for $220 AUD in mid 2019 and it got bought immediately by someone in the US. That is a card I would still like to own. In a PSA10 that would fetch a decent price today...

    Footy Stars 2024

    It sucks being a Collingwood supporter period right now. I'm getting the feeling that what we did last year was a herculian effort by a team that crashed through a very narrow window which may have quickly closed. Brisbane still has upside with their list. So do a few other contenders. We have...

    Footy Stars 2024

    Lol. I sympathise. Also living on the frontier of civilisation here in good old Perth - where the desert meets the sea. Local newsagent usually gets them about 3-4 weeks after release. I'm guessing after Easter. I haven't looked at the local card shops - one does not have a functioning website...

    Good one. Yes way better value when you are getting 4 YG's in a tin versus 3 YG's if your lucky from 2 blasters and for about the same money.

    Yes love the tins. I used to buy the 2019-20 S2 ones from SCC. Who are USSCA?

    They must have released SPGU early. Very nicely done getting the two hobby boxes. I can't believe they were that cheap on pre-sale. I just paid $145 for 3 blasters - with the 20% Afterpay discount. Think positive. Guaranteed base Bedard Star rookie and perhaps a colour one, or even an auto...

    Yankees, Mets, Red Sox or Cubs, lol. Miami, Tampa, D-Backs, Rockies, etc. and it's game over - even if he does well. Juan Soto might be a good bet right now if he goes mental at Yankee stadium.

    MMm. Personally I'd buy 2021-22 S2 at $75 a box. It's a deep rookie crop and someone will come out of that. I hate extended as a rule but 2021-22 also some reasonable names that could pop and those hobby boxes are $65. If they reduce 22-23 S2 to $100AUD I'd buy it. Still more expensive than the...

    Just watching a replay of the last cherry break a 4 boxer. I had Columbus. I won the Hawks in the random and Bedard came out in the first box. I'm on the board. Might have to buy 6X blasters to try and hit another one. 6 blasters cost $360 and you probably get 7 YG's. Better value than $500 for...

    Maybe you're right. I just noticed that Cherry are currently breaking it. Perhaps it's 21-22 Allure I was thinking of. If that is the case then that's unusual because there is always a significant lag between epack and main release. Maybe this is the new normal. Perhaps they have woken up to...

    I could be wrong but I think 23-24 S1 was still at least 4 weeks behind physical release which is still much faster than usual.

    E-pack usually between 8-12 weeks after initial retail release. 22-23 Allure was out about 3 months ago from memory? I' not sure as it's not one of the products I follow. They are still way behind schedule with lots of products. 2021-22 The Cup came out 2 or 3 months ago and that is 18 months...

    Footy Stars 2024

    $300? I won that Green/250 prize. It was the final six -Richmond, Bulldogs, Sydney, West Coast, etc. From memory I sold it locally here in WA for $140. Better than a kick in the head but give me a box of Footy stars as a prize any day over a numbered parallel set. # I liked the old system...

    I don't think they have S2 in yet. I just noticed they had blasters out of stock and now they're back in stock pre-sale but $10 more expensive at $60 I would rather buy 6 blasters at $60 than 1 hobby at $500. However, I'll be buying neither as those prices are truly mad. I've seen Bedard YG's...

    Oh...that virtue. Yes underrated trait that. I'm might chill for a bit, and then bite the bullet and start ebay from scratch. I think if I used SMC and used ebay labels for postage I could make a decent side hustle out of it. But not as it's currently set up. P.S. Bit disappointed to see RV...

    I got a bit optimistic. The same card /75 just went at auction for $100AUD. Given that postage to the US is $29 I'd have to have the card at $65AUD max. I'll hang onto it at that price since I'll get around $50 after ebay takes its cut - 13.8% of $65+$29+$10( GST)+$2( international fee.) And...

    I'm certain they don't know what they are doing when it comes to hockey. The main breaker suggested that hockey could do with some more products as they don't have nearly as many as baseball, football, etc. I pointed out that hockey did not need more products as it was a much smaller market than...

    I forgot to say this but I have been slowly putting together 'master sets' of 2018/19 S1 and S2, 2019/20 S1 and S2( nearly finished) 2020-21 S1 and S2, 2021-22 S2( S1 I'm not doing) and the last one is 2022-23 S1. That should take me another two years. Master set for me is the 50 card Youngs...

    I enjoyed reading that. On another note. Dirty Cherry Collectables just raised the price of S2 from $400 AUD to $500AUD. That's an eyewatering $330USD and the highest price I have seen anywhere. It was a no-no for me at $400AUD. They are price gouging likely because they know that whilst we can...

    But you pay commission on the whole lot. You pay commission on the item, the postage and on the GST the buyer pays! whether you charge $400 for the item and $80 for postage or $200 and $280 for postage it doesn't matter. They calculate commission based on the item plus the postage and then whack...
