Yeah, when I saw what her Rivera was going for I thought about you and I was sad. At least you were able to replace your washing machine.

She’s a beauty! And she’s quiet! And she’s actually NEW not just NEW TO ME. I truly am grateful to my buyers and really am not upset about the price doubling in 6 hours after.

After seeing this...



And calculating this:



I realize that ^^^ is worth $372,000 today, (as of a few hours ago).

Is anyone else stacking P2020 like one stacks gold or silver coins?

Please don't take this as bragging. I absolutely DON'T want to brag. I want to illustrate what 24 hours can do. I simply can't believe it.
And now 24 hours later again...

The above has grown to a value of $1,113,000, as of this morning. AND, I am being conservative with the values.

How long before all kinds of media stations start reporting on P2020? We are witnessing and living something fairly news worthy in my opinion.

How long do you give sellers to ship before contacting them?

Anyone remember the Saturday Night Live skit where Jon Lovitz played Pablo Picasso?

He was eating at a cafe and did a doodle on a napkin to pay his bill.

The paint drip cards reminded me of that.

YOU, my friend, should be the subject of the stories. “Man invests $20k. Portfolio grows to 1.2 million in 2 months”

Imagine the eyeballs for even grandmas to be like he did what now!?

Low PR / early cards that aren’t as inflated as it’s peers in my opinion.

Live cards? 1 days

Presales? After you KNOW that a certain card has started shipping FROM Topps, give them a week to provide a message or tracking number with an update before contacting them.

I have people who bought presales the past few days asking me if their card has come in yet to be shipped out. Like the presales that are still live on Topps site. Stop hounding your sellers about presale ship dates we don’t know either! Lol

Negative ghostrider, funny shoe but I'd never wear it.

I held onto 4 pairs of the Piet Mondrian Dunk SB. It was always my fav (he's one of my favorite artists, and the shoe is so damn clean). Have probably 30 or so other pairs left, and a couple pairs of Adidas (original Team Zissou release and the Hoths, because 2 of the best movies of all time),

CRT_Sportscards pretty reputable? I know I have a couple presale purchases through them on ebay that I'm hoping I can trust to get.

With people jumping on the bandwagon this week when this is all said and done the Baller Trout might not crack the top 100 Print Run

I'm a firm believer that this stuff will continue to rise and by no means am I saying to sell now. But at what point do you sell when you have so much in unrealized gains? There's gotta be a point in the not too distant future where you would just rather lock in $1-2.5 million than holding with hopes for more, right?

I hate what I just said above as I read it back, because I do think the move is to keep holding, but I'm also in my twenties and would have such a hard time passing up on that kind of money.

Is Topps a essential business? If not, they need to be declared one, along with the case makers

I became super friends with the local store owner who has the quickstrike account, so I always had my size held for me when there was a line of tents out front the night before. It's a whole different ballgame now, and the collective programming experience that group has terrifies me every time I make a purchase on Topps' site.
I remember I shipped a pallet of SBs to Japan in 2005ish because noone here wanted the release. Saint Patty's Day or something.

Scratched one-touch....what's this doing to prices? 5% off? 10% 20%?

I bought this ~2 weeks ago, so I'm not sending it back.

I'm not attempting to swap the case, but I bet some would. Contemplating how to list it if I decide to sell it. Maybe start here on BO?

I feel like I have to ask any prospective buyer...did you read the description and look at pics.....are you accepting the condition as-is? I'm not sure I can force ebay'ers to read and look.
