I bought a Baller Trout pre-sale for $17.25, got the card delivered today with the box and everything. No funny business.
I bought something from them early on as well and received it, Thiele Mays I believe

That would be fine with me.

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?

My silver ink signature came on the left bottom.
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.

Wow, interesting. If he did make a change, I’ve got the last center auto, and you’ve got the first corner auto!! eBay 1/1’s???

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

I was asking people if they would be happy with a 50% ROI when all the craziness happened. Crickets. Absolute crickets for answers.

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.

I literally just bought one. Those are a little too "cheap" right now, IMO.

When I started I hoestly thought i could maybe make $10 a card and that would pay off my Shore and Fucci collection which is what i wanted to collect.
Nothing anything close to what has happened lol

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.

So should Topps go and raise the prices for the cards since they're seeing some of the cards going for thousands of dollars now? It's fine if he wants to raise the prices, but then to complain when people leave his Patreon and then blame it on racism. oof!
