If we have EVER done a deal,

Much love everyone 🙂❤️
When buying a card on eBay, do you factor in the shipping as a part of the price of the card?
Like for me if I get a card for $3 and there’s $4 shipping. That’s a $7 card in my eyes 😂
How do we make base cards matter again?
Watch someone open a pack, they skip the veteran base 9/10 times
An idea is make it a set reward, collect the base set and get a redemption pack. People might start trading again. It could make every card matter again!
@CardPurchaser
Jersey cards are useless. In Prizm they are selling for less than the silver rookie.
Patch cards used to be game used, celebrated, an EXCITING PULL!!
Now it's just another card we pass over and not game used.
What can we do to make patch cards matter again?

okay let's have the discussion...
Shipping cards!
In YOUR opinion, what is the proper way to ship a $5 card?
I personally think, if the card gets there in good condition, it doesn't matter how you send it to me 🙂
@CardPurchaser
Inserts are becoming a weird part of the hobby where they are usually cast aside unless numbered or of your favorite team.
modern inserts, to me, have gotten worse, Mosaic Touchdown Masters, Prizm "HYPE", Topps Grand Gamers for example
What makes a good insert?
@CardPurchaser
Mail day from eBay!
Marshall Faulk game used jersey die cut /50
Got it for $0.99 (+$4 shipping) 🙂 really happy with this purchase especially for the price!
Fun fact about me, I have a World Series ring and 2 ALCS rings from the Astros 👀
When I worked with the Astros, they give rings to all the MiLB they own, and we also got to go to 3 World Series games, one from each they were in from 2019-2023 🙂
Why this is important to me from a strictly card POV:
I'm a low end collector, I don't spend more than $20 on a card
I've always wanted a Tom Brady rookie card. I bought the dual rookie earlier in the year but the single was eluding me due to price

Hey
I love y’all
Thanks for letting me post my silly little bargain box cards and stupid little PC pickups
It makes me happy and has really given me a reason to smile
When I first got back into the hobby I didn’t think anyone would care about what I posted, but here we are🙂
said this a couple weeks ago
My goals this year in the hobby:
- Open a hobby box
- Open a pack of a FOTL product
- Own a Tom Brady rookie for under my price point
- sell 100 cards
🙂
oh my god we hit 1000 followers 😭
I truly appreciate you all for following along as I post about $3 Marshall Faulk cards, weird pickups and awful takes. 🙂
Thank you guys for giving me a community to interact and joke around with. It means more to me than you could ever know❤️
Friendly reminder, go support your local MiLB team 🙂
As someone who worked in MiLB for 8 years, especially during week days, MiLB teams struggle for attendance and always have a deal on every day of the week.
Cheap fun for the whole family and sometimes decent baseball! 😄
I'll be honest I'm VERY picky about breakers
I want you to know the product inside and out, I want you to teach me.
Know the parallels
Know the players
Know the potential of a player don't just say "oh Tayjae Spears not who we are looking for" and move on.
I'm curious to know everyone's thoughts on this. 👀
Is it important to you that your breaker know about the sport they're breaking? (Good players, stats, etc.) Product (Checklist knowledge, big hits, etc.)? Both? Neither?
Let us know what's important for you 👇

Hey we hit 400 followers!
Goal is to hit 1000 by the end of the year 🙂
I try to provide unique takes and unique cards with positivity and humor 🙂
I’ll be selling more and collecting more and I can’t wait to take you on this collecting journey with me!
My favorite topic:
Rookies vs Vets
Vets are valued so much less than rookies in the hobby. to a point where it's disrespectful.
I get it, money.
At what point is it too much? when does the value go back to the vets? How can we change this in the hobby?
@CardPurchaser
Last 4 purchased for my groomsmen 🙂
2 of the sellers have no feedback and I need these by May 2nd 😅 (or I'll just wait until the wedding)
But I think price wise, I did okay!
about a month ago I sent my first ever card through the mail.
Today, I sent my first ever bubble mailer!
this was even harder for me to do because of my anxiety. But I went to the post office and got it done 🙂
and now I'm wondering if I swapped the cards and addresses 😅
I sent my first ever card through the mail today!
Now for most of you this is common, but I have severe ADHD and as a side effect, attempting new things even as simple as sending a card through the mail is difficult. I’ve always been scared of messing it up, hurting the card etc
My grail card is here
I own a Tom Brady rookie card y’all 🥹
Thank you
@Rob_MeadOHs
and for the RAK🥹
Also thank you to
@Oscvr9_
for my first Pokemon RAK
And a thank you to
@BlazerDanCards
for the Danny Rose auto RAK
I LOVE THIS HOBBY. And I’ll make sure to pay it forward🙂
last 5 sold!
including my biggest flip to date! 🙂
I'm slowly SLOWLY getting better. Just need to keep flipping and not impulsively try and flip like I did earlier
So I need some advice/help
I was showing my LCS my X and how good the community is on here, and they told me, if i wanted, I could take their 5for$1 boxes and sell the cards on my account for them, split the profits
there's a TON of good stuff in those boxes but it's random
I've gained a new influx of followers recently
so allow me to reintroduce myself!
I'm Feve. I'm a graphic designer by trade, and a card collector by night
I am a low end collector, I don't usually spend over $20 on a card, just how I collect with the money I have
my PC is...

Vintage hobby twitter, I’ve been holding on to this for a long time because I can’t figure out how to price it. Last solds are all over the place.
I think it look closer to the $45 last sold than the $17 last sold.
Thoughts? I don’t want to give someone a bad deal!
@BangerWings
yikes
you know I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, but using "queers" as an insult and the rest of your timeline seems like you talk down to others.
also, if someone says "not from you"
maybe instead of "fuck off"
try "well why is that?" and have a chat
First pic is everything I picked up (plus 2 Heritage hobby packs) $15 total for EVERYTHING
2nd pic is two Heritage Hobby packs, pulled a Masyn Winn auto and a white border Meadows
I’M ON A DAMN HEATER😤😤😤
I refuse to support FuckJerry and anyone who supports them.
I just don't see any positives in this besides Eric getting the bag and selling his account.
Congrats on your money and your "advisory role" on stealing content, really on brand for you Eric.
🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
I’m absolutely thrilled to announce the most exciting news in the HISTORY of The Collectibles Guru…
A group of passionate collectors, including Elliot Tebele (founder of FuckJerry) have acquired my social media accounts. During the transition of these
I have to give a shoutout to
@CardsCachet
I sent him 2 cards.
He sends me THIS RAK (see I know what it means now)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
7 numbered cards, a Moss out of one of my favorite sets. This is so tailored to me it's ridiculous 🥹
My LCS pickups 🙂
Added a new one to the Ray Allen PC
My first ever Jordan card!
The Mark McGwire card is my favorite /2000
My first Demario Douglas rookie and a Gonzo
What's your favorite? $2 total 🙂
Some star players I feel like I've never seen a card for sale of 🤷♂️
Khalil Mack
Nick Bosa
Fred Warner
Stefon Diggs
AJ Brown
Nick Chubb
Mike Evans
Deebo Samuel
Idk just find it interesting 🙂
inb4 "because they aren't QBs"
I'm well aware
In 1997, Topps released a 15 card set called "Hall Bound".
and all 15 players made the Hall Of Fame!
The ages of the players at the time ranged from 28 (!!!) to 37.
What players would be in the 15 card set today given the age ranges?
today's discussion:
Graded Cards!
- is it worth it?
- does it matter to you?
- does the company matter?
to me, it only matters on vintage cards, I haven't seen a modern card get below a 7 ever, it just doesn't seem worth it for me.
what are your thoughts?
@CardPurchaser
I had a little money left over from the card show and grabbed this Largent auto /75, I've been wanted to have a nice Largent in my collection for awhile and I finally got one!
Also, my LCS owner told me. "You buy something and I'll give you this" and he gives me THIS MEM CARD😳
since I'm an influencer now according to
@ourtradingcards
figured I give Topps top execs a call and see if they can squeeze me into their Influencer SSP lineup.
Because of the contacts in my phone (which will make you choke) they got me in! 🙂
@MarkHolder27
@CardPurchaser
a good example, I have a Mario Williams Draft Day jersey card, where the patch is from the Draft Day jersey he holds up on TV. I think that's unique and different
Show a card under $2 that you will never sell, no matter what
I was at this game, it was such an incredible experience and the fact that there is a card to show this occasion is SO cool 🙂
I know Fields stock is down currently, but this card in my PC won't ever be sold.
So unique but also, makes me want to collect:
- Brady from this year's Bowman
- Tebow Bowman I have
- I know there is a Russell Wilson Bowman
- Kyler Murray has a Leaf card I think?
Now that I’m starting to phase out of ultra modern
(with exceptions. I’ll always rip new product and cool inserts and base)
90s/00s cards really are next level. However most of them are worthless. Which makes collecting them, that much more fun! 🙂
Along with the box of cards, here are my card show pickups! Almost all is PC. But if you are interested, let me know!
First pic was all $1 each🙂
All the Pokemon was $1 each 🙂
Most expensive card was the Jamaal Charles auto /35 for $27 🙂
What’s your favorite pickup?!
A set I find undervalued every year is Panini Classics
I think it’s simple, to the point with REALLY nice card design and really in your face parallels.
Here’s my Tedy Bruschi /99 I got for less than a dollar 🙂
my bachelor party is coming up so quickly and I'm hyped.
I'm looking for some signed jerseys of the following teams, preferred under $100 as gifts for my groomsmen
Eagles
Ravens
Patriots/NY Rangers
Devils/Penn State
any RTs would be appreciated 🙂
Random question:
when trying to explain to my fiance why I love to collect and why this hobby is so popular, it has come clear that it's harder to explain than I thought.
What have y'all done to explain to your partners about why collecting cards is fun and a hobby for you? 🙂
an incredible RAK from
@BeersBowman
from
@HobbyAlmighty
's sale!
some truly incredible PC pieces even though only the Sons were there. Thank you both! 🙂
@jonnychingas420
@11lizzie
Johnny you seem like the kind of guy who retweets Mr. Beast giveaways and hates women, but also says "dang I want a piece of that" when a woman walks by.
Stadium Club is my most sought after rookie
Just because Flagship is popular doesn't mean it's the best. You want a photo that captures their rookie year the best? Stadium Club 🙂
Here were my pickups. $4 total!
Couple of notes:
the Banks SSP🤩
Culpepper rookie is /1000
Note the Sauce color match RC
Brady Season Ticket goes in my PC
I HAD NO IDEA ALL MADDEN HAD A TROPHY??
Note the Jeter on the prospects card
What’s your favorite card I picked up?🙂
@BigBobsCards
I'm not really investing though. Sure I have some cards worth a bit but I'm not really doing this for the money. I'm a collector first
I don't forsee a huge bump in Clay Buchholz or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie autos anytime soon
Another part of my basketball PC is Steve Francis!
I grew up watching basketball in the 2000s and if you played any video game, watch any Rockets game, Stevie Franchise was THAT DUDE.
My PC is a Press Pass auto ($2), game used mem ($2) and a #’d rookie (20¢)
🙂
Got a huge work event all day, so I won’t be able to spew my incredible takes and share my dollar cards. So let’s get this out of the way
- Spectra is undervalued
- Select is better than Prizm
- Jersey cards will never get better
Here’s a couple cards I like 🙂
Love y’all ❤️
question
if you post a card for sale and I ask a price just because I like knowing the market even if I don't intend on buying said card....
does that make me a bad person? I just like conversation and learning the markets on players 🥺
Mail day from Saturday!
Blount Rookie Auto from eBay
Everything else is from a kind soul who I don’t want to dox, but I can’t remember who this was!
This is AMAZING. Joffrey is even /199!
Thank you friendly person 🙂
I’m noticing my collecting habits are really moving towards collecting cards you don’t see every day. Early Prizm, mid 2000s, 90s.
I still like modern #’d cards but I’m getting more picky. I almost value color match more than a /149, however, anything >100 I’m a sucker for😭
I don't really understand fans of their teams selling cards of their players once they leave, especially a beloved player
A player being on one team rarely happens, hell Brady played for the Bucs!
You can still love a player and your collection if the player leaves. 🙂
