Obama This Week

MrSnyder · 07-20-2009, 03:04 PM

How quickly with 999 Obama's throwing out the first pitch at $5 go?

papajim · 07-20-2009, 03:20 PM

I got there at 1:15 and ordered a few, will not get any! Obama is one of the few new Etopps that you can make a few $$$ off.
If you were not there at 1 sharp I'd say you lost out.

I missed out on Brock Lesnar last week and bought 2 off card target for $10.50.

I tried for 2 Obamas. Lets see what happens! Good luck!

I ended up receiving 1 of each of the UFC guys.

Ordered 10, we'll see what I get

jetscollector10 · 07-23-2009, 09:59 PM

I ordered 3 obamas at about 1:15, hoping i get 1.

I also ended up getting 1 GSP and 1 Lesnar, and sold them on ebay just to break even!!
I thought i would def. make money on those!

I hate that Topps/eTopps does this. I ordered 10 Baracks and today they charged my Paypal card for 10. Then after I find out how many I really rec'd it takes almost a week to fix the charge correctly. Just charge what I should get once Topps figures it out. Wait, that sounds too much like every other good business practice.

IndySportsCards · 07-27-2009, 07:49 AM

Only order 1 of each, it's very rare you get more than 1 anyway.

Yeah, you order 1 since this is what you will get anyway. No need to order 10...

dchalson · 07-27-2009, 10:35 AM

I put in an order for 8 at about 1:02 on Monday. I just got my allocation...
I got 1 of each card ordered.

papajim · 07-27-2009, 10:41 AM

Well someone will get mine

Etopps just informed me that my bank refused thier request on my debit card last night.
Called bank, they said, "we have the right to refuse requests from other than trustworthy companies

I said, "Thanks for protecting me a-holes"!! Other than "trustworthy companies", do they know something we don't??

PS: This has happened to me before with Etopps and everytime the card value has hit the roof!!
Good luck all

wolffer12 · 07-27-2009, 01:58 PM

I ordered at 10 after the hour and was shut out.. sucks.

papajim · 07-27-2009, 04:36 PM

This is going to be another Etopps nightmare! Some people received 3-4- and 10 while most got shutout

This happened one time before with the Willie Mays card.
Like I said earlier, my bank screwed me out of any of them

"Other than trustworthy company"

Already 62 on the bay $18.00!

jjj7880 · 08-29-2009, 09:24 AM

This card has taken a nose dive!

Jolietracing · 08-29-2009, 12:16 PM

Not really a surprise with the great job he's doing as preident. I just wanted some to flip right away.
