Bought a hobby case for 2200 and it was labeled as FOMO. I ripped it all, made the case back in Acuna PSA 10s alone. Bought another hobby case for 3600 a couple months ago.

Everyone on this message board except for a select few are ingrate, self serving idiots.

I highly doubt you made your money back on Acuna PSA 10's unless you pulled a parallel. No way did every single 12-14 Acuna's you pulled gem either.

Case prices seem to be holding steady around $5500 on eBay for Hobby. Sold one of mine at $5400 and wondering when to list again. My '18 Archives and HHN sold fast too.

Now I'm aware of the chance I took by buying them, but how would you guys handle this?

I'm more than okay chalking this up to a terrible gamble and moving on, but I feel like I should at least message the seller and tell him and show some pics.

How would you guys handle it? I haven't sent a message or left feedback or anything. Just looking for advice.

Thanks for any help.

They didnt have clearance stickers on them. That's the only reason I bought them.

Not same same then.

That sucks about the crappy corners. I assumed they were Wal-Mart. Did you get them from that Brendan or brenen guy in EBay by chance, he never runs out.

Hmm I dont think that was him.

The corners weren't a little dinged they were crushed lol

The first 2 cards I saw were the ones that were creased, but the rest of that pack was fine so I wasnt too worried until I started going through the rest.

I hit 1 decent card (Soto) and a nice parallel (Fathers Day) and luckily those weren't damaged. I pulled Adames foil too but sadly it was in the mashed corners pack, so you guessed it, mashed corner.

In a way, I'm almost glad I didnt pull anything big. I would have been livid if I pulled a parallel of one of the many studs and had them damaged like that.

Broke a case in 2018. Sat on just about everything. Picked out what I thought was the best 6 Acuña to send to BGS. Then just decided what the hell might as well send the other 3 just to have them encased. All 9 came back BGS 9.5 and 4-5 true gems. Only issue on most was 9.0 centering on 3 of them. Also sent in 6 Soto’s all 6 came back BGS 9.5 as well

Found 16 more hangers in the basement this morning. 16 seemed weird so I opened one to get to 15, got another 250.

Picked up 4 fat packs from eBay that came today.
Was planning on holding at least 1 and ripping the others.
First 3 were pretty bad with only 1 us200 out of the big names so I had to open the last pack.
Happy with that decision

I bought 6. Half the cards were damaged and the best card was a Soto base. Looks like a 10 to me, so probably a 6.
