Just got from Singapore my Obsidian Green Vinicius Madrid /25. Great looking card, I'll have to take a pic.

Even better, bot it with ebay bucks!

Slightly off topic, but relevant I guess :

Can I ask what mailbox & forwarding service people are using in Europe? More and more people seem to just be using eBay's own postage service and it's killing my collecting from the USA. Paying fifty bucks in shipping for a single is making me cry.

I honestly don't know. I don't buy cards off ebay from overseas. I do buy cards off blowout from overseas, but it only costs me maybe $15-$20 for a good amount of cards for tracked shipping. It takes a month or longer, but it's definitely not $50 for one card. Sounds like ebay is just ripping people off by offering there own middle man shipping service.

Yup they are, and it stinks.

It's not even quick either - everything goes to Erlanger, in Kentucky for "sorting" and it sits there for anything between a week and a month before it gets sent back out overseas.

I keep seeing people mentioning mail forwarding services but I'm yet to actually find one

ShipMyCards is the one I'm seeing more and more often.

Another option I've seen is folks using their regular breakers as the US mailing address and then having them subsequently gather up all the mail and ship it internationally with the rest of the cards from the breaks.

Has anyone else noticed that if you buy cards from certain states that sometimes the package just sits at a distribution center for a week or longer before getting sent to the next place? I bought cards a few weeks ago from New York and the package went from New York to a center in Maryland in a day, then sat there for 7-10 days before getting sent to the post office near me.

Then other times I can get packages in 3-4 days from California.

I signed up to SMC about a month ago, it’s been great so far. I’ve used it for eBay purchases but also for group breaks. They only charge $5 per lot of cards (over 3 cards) so you’re not paying per card like COMC. Only thing is that they only photo the whole lot rather than individual cards.’ They will break lots down at cost of $1 per card though.

I’ve sold cards on Facebook and sent directly to buyer from SMC. Saves me shipping here (UK) to sell. Sold a CR7 auto last week that shipped from SMC to Hong Kong in 3 days via FedEx.

As a European breaker, SMC seems to be a god send. They’ll also accept sealed wax.

I'll check out ShipMyCards - thanks!!!

So true. He's the best #9 on the planet hands down. He has a lot of work to do to get to 60 goals, but if Bayern makes it to the finals he has a chance.

I haven’t posted a mail day in a long time. Here’s the latest that have come in recently. The Dybala’s arrived just now.

Nice mail day! Love those Dybalas

Ianhatcher · 08-13-2020, 12:33 PM

Did really well with the PSA Return I got back today so here's a portion of about 70 cards I got back, mainly Chrome and Prizm. Mbappe's I uploaded in his thread so here are some of CR7 and Messi.

obenheimer · 08-16-2020, 07:10 PM

Just bought this for what I feel is a steal. Supposedly only 10 produced. If it had been numbered it would have gone for 2-3x the price. Can't wait to actually get it in hand.
