I will never sell anything that is not in my possession. I believe numerous "Don C" Thomas cards sold for close to $200.00 on Pre-Sale. More returns? |

Not sure if he was doing either one first and thought one way to be better than the other mid-way through signing them. They both look great either way ![]()

Be honest, did anyone here actually anticipate large ROI on these cards so soon? Even at the prices they are today?
I never even considered a ROI when I bought these for my PC. I'm pretty happy that my cards have gone up anywhere from 2x to 10x what I paid. |

Guys, anyone not using Stockx for TP2020, you might want to take a look. For sellers it's great to not have to deal with Bozo's Circus (aka eBay). For buyers, you can get some steeeeals, but you need to buy the card sight unseen (which may not be for everyone).

I haven't gone to ebay.com in 4 days and counting.
It's oddly liberating. Stress level down, blood pressure down, pulse back in line. Just going to topps.com once a day, Monday-Friday, and seeing what's what. |

I wouldn’t send them cards yet with this going on. They sell shoes and I’ve seen a lot of shoe stores getting looted

That was my premise on all cards purchased....whether directly through Topps at cost or on Ebay. Am I a little nervous about the current market - sure Do I still feel to be in a decent position to make a + ROI - yes. Heck if I make a 25% ROI in a year, that is crashing the stock market. Most people have no concept of finicial realities. Same people didnt understand twinsjake business model. They only saw a really low ROI when market was booming. Well, if Twinsjake does a couple million dollars in revenue at a 10%-15% ROI on a CC that he repays fully each month (borrowed cash), that is a real nice business for him. |

I know this thread has devolved into a complete cesspool, but I received 3 cards this afternoon from Topps
Ermsy Williams Grotesk Jeter Jamieson Henderson Felt really good to get some new cards from Topps and they are gorgeous!!!! All in Ultras too! Expecting a steady flow from them for the next few weeks and for the rest of the year. You may now resume your regularly scheduled complaining, bickering, arguing, tattletailing, mansplaining and general disdain for all things 2020. |

They did go back to the Ultra Pros, but stopped putting the individual card boxes in the bubble wrap. Just in case anyone wonders why they buy on eBay and the card doesn't ship in one of those.
My order of 5 McGwire Naturels were just sliding around in the outer cardboard box. |

Lol... just an FYI. StockX building has an absolute-0 chance of getting looted. Don't let the Detroit address scare you. That ain't happenin'

Just got the Ichiro Chang in today and let me say I’m disappointed. I didn’t get “snap-tited” and cards are centered, but the cards are flat. By that I mean there are NO foil accents on these. Looks like a photocopy of the original card. Not sure if Topps ever intended to produce this way and perhaps just couldn’t secure the resources or if it was just a misrepresentation, but a miss to say the least. I question what this means for Don C’s Thomas, which without foil, could be hideous.
Also, they appear to have run out of bubble wrap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
