I certainly never saw it and had to dig just to find the sale.

Ahem .....

Just like a car, make and model. "2020 Topps Finest Flashbacks Yordan Alvarez Auto", then the RC/red/#/grade. It's ultimately a personal preference, but I think this is most common and what most listings use.

Yeah, I searched "2020 finest (flashback, flashbacks) yordan" and knew something was wrong when the gold showed up but not the red.

Yeah that's what killed it, not the order.

I have hundreds of searches and some are as simple as "yordan psa 10" because some people misspell Alvarez. I also have one just for "Yordan" and various others to catch every possible variation/mistake. The only time I really miss anything is if I don't thoroughly go through my saved searches or miss a day.

Apparently not that committed, I lost two reds this year!!!

I do have a ridiculous amount of searches. If you're looking for something I can definitely add a few more searches to my list for ya. You need some of the Bowman Sterling autos right?

For Yordan, I have "2018 yordan alvarez psa 10" and "2020 yordan alvarez psa 10" saved. Just "yordan" would be even better.

The sad thing is if people list a card and put "gem mint" between the psa & 10 (so "psa gem mint 10"), it won't show up for me. I've missed a bunch of cards because of that. It's such a joke.

And you can't just search "yordan psa" because then you'll have 500 results every day filled with base Topps PSA 8s and 9s.

I have just yordan, yordan psa, yordan hga, yordan bgs, yordan csg, 2020 yordan, 2019 yordan, 2018 yordan, yordan atomic, etc. Etc. And every misspelling of Alvarez, alverez, alvares, etc. I like to see it all, the 8s and 9s and even hga, you never know. Better to see it and not want it than want it and not see it.

It's not really that bad because I'm checking multiple times a day and while some searches turn up the same results, I don't think I really miss anything. I mean I have before, but it's not often.

Another hit, otro más RBI.

[rngrdanny22]

I usually search "2020 Yordan" and just sort by newly listed.

I laugh every time I see eBay say it... "Did you mean 2020 Jordan?"

You laugh, but: "2020 Jordan Alvarez" is one of my searches because of that, and....

[eye4talent]

“Yordan 2020” is all I need. (It only goes to Jordan if you exclude the year, and some other random combo.)

I don’t save specific searches as much anymore, as I find some listings still don’t get picked up by the search. Plus, I just prefer scrolling through all the listings like the cardporn addict I am.

I have so many saved searches, I prefer to keep it simple. If I miss a few things, it's frustrating but it is what it is.

Haha, I'm good, thanks though!!. I am on top of the Sterlings for sure. Unfortunatly life can get busy and I also missed out on reds. A red Sterling auto auction that I missed haunts me.

Did win a nice little auction tonight for Yordan! Will post in a few days.

So two flashback reds sold for $710(PSA 10) and $420(BGS 9.5)....that's really low in my eyes. Thankfully, I'm not really hunting anything than the silver refractors and the super. However, had I seen the listing, I would've felt comfortable and put a minimum of at least $1200. Congratulations!

I lol at the Jordan thing because that's how I jokingly pronounce his name.

I've got a special search for BCA which I do nightly. For the 2020 stuff it's "2020 Yordan", auction, ending within 24 hours, at least one bid. My saved searches are all Gallo.

$75 for this.

I’m not saying Ben Baller was the greatest idea in the history of Chromium baseball cards, but it’s still a blue TC refractor /75.

I'm not really buying more Yordan right now until he starts playing a little better, and that upper left corner on looks a little dubious to me for a 10, but that Flashback red only going for $710 is grand larceny. Second whoever said that they would be super pissed at PC for the misspelling in the listing, to the point that this makes me a lot less willing to submit cards to their grade to consign service. It easily could have been a several hundred dollar mistake.

I am more surprised that the Beam Team Super auto ended at only $1150 than the Red at $700

I got lucky. It had only been up a few minutes when I saw it. I didn’t even bother making a best offer, in case the tbloods of the world were out there lurking…

Yeah, same. I’m waiting for some signs of 2019 before I dip back in.

[tblood]

You get lucky a lot! I love me some deals on cool non-mainstream or niche cards, but I haven’t been doing any lurking with any players the last couple months. Keep scooping them up!
