If you broke the bank, here’s your chance to comiserate.

Hit this in a random case break. Has taught me a lesson in selling asap. Lucky the break was only cheap so don't have a big bag lost.
This has red ink. Wander likes them with red ink

Down ~$93. Not quite $0, so I voted < $500.
One of these for $10: https://www.topps.com/cards-collecti...asketball.html 2019 Bowman Draft atomic refractor for $83. One just auctioned for $1.58 (https://ebay.com/itm/155945897988), guess I'll do 99 cents no reserve and see what happens.

I spent my wad in 2019 on the closest thing to Stanley Tumblers in the card world: women's soccer cards. I have zero regrets.

Nada, I never understood the hype, Franco has all the tools to be baseball good, hobby wise it’s an entirely different story. I really feel sorry for the investors, players failing on the field is one thing but screwing up on a personal level is not something that anyone ever expected.

$138 for a 2019 Bowman Mega 100 box break. Looks like I sold everything from the break for ~$1250 in 2019 and early 2020.

 An alternative?- switch to Vintage. For me personally, I’d quit the hobby first - not in my DNA. I need the excitement of the unknown and possibilities….

Considerably over 5k. I'm not the only one even if I'm the only honest one to vote and admit it.
Profited a grand total of $998.20 in 2022 and $529 in 2023. I was up about $6800 in 2023 before the allegations, and then tax harvested a bunch of losses after the allegations. Still have a little over $8100 in purchase price of what is left, so the losses on that will likely be around $7k in total, bringing my overall Wander loss to around $5-6k. Should be easier to show a loss on ebay sales for my 2024 taxes however! |

Let's show some compassion. This should be a thread for those who invested significant amounts.
