Didn’t sell a single card from my table today. A handful of cards from the boxes. Did watch a guy spend $3000+ at the table across from me before even looking at another table. Rough day, but on to the next one! I guess FeeBay it is!
Optic value packs - $16 for 12 cards - one is a rookie (two if lucky), might get a parallel or insert (probably a player that’s not worth anything). Are they a rip off? Yes! Did I see some at the store and buy them anyway? Yes! And did I get ripped off? Of course!
@CardPurchaser
No Select football on my Target run today, however they did have a couple basketball blasters, and there is a gold /10 Lakers card in one…. please be Lebron!!!?😳
@CardPurchaser
Sadly no…. Lebron and AD decided to show up in the orange flash, and Jalen Hood-Schifino was nowhere to be found. Austin Reaves 10/10, still a sweet looking card!
I picked 6 blasters at DSG out of about 20. Also pulled this sweet Jaime Jaquez Jr color & number match, 2 autos, and 3 Wemby inserts. Lot of fun with this one but wow that Wemby Genesis probably my best pull ever.
You know what’s awesome? Building up the amount in your eBay account, then spend an evening hunting cards for your PC and paying with your eBay funds (which were cards I didn’t want any more). Nothing out of my pocket and a lot of fun exciting cards heading my way!
And finally the ultra rare, case hit, zebra Rachaad White. Wish it was a rookie but can’t complain pulling this out of a $15 pack. Overall not my best rip, worse than the last time I got these, but I still love the Select brand and will probably buy more.
What a wild weekend! From a slow card show Saturday morning, then simply posting a pic of my table on here, leading to a crazy rest of the weekend messaging and making deals. My biggest shipping day ever. Thanks everyone who reached out and bought cards from me! 🙏
@oddballbaseball
Yeah admittedly I don’t reprice before every show. A lot of them were done this week though and priced right at comps. I know people want to offer 80% or less so I tend to leave it at recent sale price. Some are a bit off though I’m sure.
Finally a restock! Select fat packs/Topps Composite blasters. Wasn’t going to buy unlicensed but this looks good and is a real fun rip. NFL w/o logos looks way better than NBA. Need a study session to learn everything! But did I buy a $300 fire? Spoiler: NOPE!!!
@CardPurchaser
Ok well I had to throw one Chrome blaster in the cart with the groceries. Am I reading right that this is a negative refractor and is 1 per 249 packs? I guess getting that and a #’ed rookie auto isn’t too shabby. Cool looking cards but wish they were cheaper!
@CardPurchaser
What would you do? Buyer sent an offer on eBay card for $455 about 8 hours before auction ended (last comp was $450). I waited for a bit then accepted, and 15 minutes later requested cancellation with message of “mistake”. It wasn’t a mistake you made an offer!
@CardPurchaser
I didn’t post this looking for sympathy, more just sharing that things don’t always go your way. But

online is alive and kicking! Have received tons of messages and made some great deals already. Should I run a stack sale for a week? 50 likes and I’ll start Monday!

@cardrestocks
Yes!! Finally found some Optic and a few Select MEGAS. Had a 200 mile road trip and stopped at every store along the way - Optic was at the last one!
Here is what I have sorted out for a show on Saturday. I’ve sorted out most rookies and a few stars, parallels by team, and some base to look through to finish a set 🏀🏈⚾️. Who/what am I missing?
@CardPurchaser
Opened some Optic football retail boxes and was disappointed to see that the last card in EVERY pack had the wax paper seal on the back peeling off. Anyone else seen this before? Anything I can do to replace?
@CardPurchaser

@rpearlberg
@CardPurchaser
They just started showing up at Walmart last week for $25. I think you can find them online too but you can’t order a specific one.
Just finished making team sets for the kids in our fantasy football league at church. Didn’t tell them I was doing this before (might have swayed who they drafted). A card for most players they drafted from a variety of sets

@CardPurchaser
Found these 2023 Contenders NBA packs at Target. Anyone opened these yet? I don’t even know if they are new but first time I’ve seen them. Will post hits later.
Went out hunting for some more Select football and found some Mosaic basketball at Target. $35 for a blaster, picked up 7 of them. Here’s what you might be able to expect…
@CardPurchaser
Honest question - would you rather open up one hobby box, or a full case (and then some) of Select football? I’ll take the case all day.
@CardPurchaser
In the same box, there we two Shai Gilgeous-Alexander orange /25! The odds of that must be one in a billion but I’m happy it happened to me! What could be better than that? Well I did buy a case so…
Today’s creative project was to attempt to make a 3d basketball card. I met a guy that does 3d Pokemon so thought I’d give it a shot. It has 7 cards (4 layers and 3 spacers). Kinda rough but don’t have great tools yet. What do you think?
@CardPurchaser
Ripped the 6 Select football blasters I was lucky to get from Target online. Video to come of first 3, this is order 2. Bunch of rookies/inserts/parallels, including a “bonus” silver, Puka parallel, JSN /99 and Olave /499. Order 1 was much better, couple big hits
@CardPurchaser
Well got these three in a row. Rachaad White zebra, Gibbs club level, and a Levis silver. On the good side I guess this was a rip to build the set, and with the other few packs and blasters I’ve opened I was able to do that. So not a complete loss!
Optic Downtowns - 20 “regular”, 10 international, 10 Super Bowl (40 total). Total counts of the /25 black pandora (1000), /10 gold (400), /1 gold vinyl (40), and /1 white sparkle (40), equals 1,480 DT parallels. Is there a tracker of how many were hit yesterday?
@CardPurchaser
@Iminsearchof
I filled my need list for my 2024 Chrome set at a card show all except for one, and picked up several inserts as well! Here is what I have left
Ok so I picked up those couple boxes, and then the Mosaic basketball case I preordered from DSG showed up. Considered doing a break with it but I have no luck filling them so decided to just rip. Hits in the comments…
@cardrestocks
My restocks used to be on Wednesday but have been moved to Friday lately. Curious to see what gets on the shelves this week. Can’t wait to get my hands on some Select football, missed out on the online preorders.

@CardPurchaser
I have 4 row boxes - 1 for football, 1 for basketball. $1 cards in card savers. $2 cards in card saver with a colored sticker. $3 cards in top loader. Then $5-20ish cards are priced. $20+ cards on the table and rotate in new ones as others sell. Be willing to sell 80-85% comps.
Ripped some new NBA Optic and pulled these beauties out of 5 blasters. What luck! Some cool Wemby inserts, a Thunder Dan auto (went to same college as me), some silvers, and a blue glitter Kristaps Porzingis

/15!
@CardPurchaser
Honest opinions: would this Bijan Robinson Optic Downtown grade as a PSA 10? I’m still fairly new to this and have sent some cards in for grading but haven’t got them back and don’t really know what to look for to determine what’s a 10 vs a 9 or 8…. Help?
@CardPurchaser
Big shoutout to
@olnycardz
for a smooth easy deal to help me complete a bunch of Optic basketball inserts sets, and even got me this awesome Brandon Miller blue velocity! Also hooked me up with a few extras for my PC. Much appreciated and highly recommend!
Well I’m having trouble with the video. Here are the big hits - a CJ Stroud silver die cut, and Devon Witherspoon green Club level /5! A beautiful color match with the Seahawks jersey. My lowest numbered card I’ve pulled this year. Real happy with these blasters!
@CardPurchaser
@paddy_collects
@CardPurchaser
Not sure but it’s a cool card to have and I like building sets so the other cards have some use to me - even if little to no resale value
@jr7x11
@CardPurchaser
@Topps
I’ve had packs with anything between 2 and 7 cards. And I have been getting 32 cards per blaster, not the 28 it says on the box (not that I’m complaining)
@CardPurchaser
2023 Select football base! Going to keep posting until someone sees it!
2,2,3,11,19,34,44,52,53,60,61,84,94,95
Id also probably take your premier or club level if you don’t want/have dupes
@paullydoughnuts
I always love the shipping charge on a card like this. Like really, someone’s spending $100k on a card and you could spring for free shipping?
@CardPurchaser
Hey
#thehobby
can anybody help me out? Surely someone on here has some 2023 Select football base cards laying around? I’m trying to finish the set and I need:
2,2,3,11,19,34,41,44,52,53,60,61,84,94,95 (yes I know 2 is on there twice). Thanks!
@CardPurchaser
Before you send that DM to someone cussing at them for not giving you a price on a card (really????) after they told you they don’t know how to price it and asked for an offer, realize that some of us have families, full time jobs, and other hobbies. This is supposed to be fun.
