Flip Quest Update 6/14/14
Well, today was garage saling/selling/sailing (which is it? no matter - I'll be sure to continue to use all of them interchangeably) day - over the first hour, I had ZERO luck. I think I just started out too early. I was able to shell out $30 clams for the following pieces of furniture: Solid buys, if you ask me! 1 educational book and all of my vintage cards sold as well! EDIT: I forgot to post that the Game of Thrones cards sold also. Anywho, here is the update: DEAL TRACKER CARDS Card lot as shown in 6/13 post
Flip Quest Update
First ... AHHHHH!!!! FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, now that I got that out of my system ... Quite a bit of movement this time 'round. I sold the 3 home security cameras, one of the other type of cameras and photography equipment. I also picked up another nicely diverse lot of things ranging from baseball, football, race cards, soccer and game of thrones. One of the Game of Thrones autos is a $70-80 card, the Bridgewater auto is #5 of 5 and the Ricketts is #1/5. The Trout is really slick also! Those are the stand outs. Selling in lots
Flip Quest Update
After being out until nearly 2am last night with some friends (as party-animal as that sounds, it was just a few of us hanging outside a bar. Well, at a fro-yo store that was next to the bar!) I was really debating whether or not to go garage saling with the wife the next morning. After all, I only had $53 to invest in my flip quest. The flip quest is really what has been motivating me to go these past few weeks. I'm glad I went today! I picked up a few small things, but the really good purchase
A weekend of meeting my childhood heroes – A story of customs and autographs
As a kid, you always dream of meeting your favorite ball players. I was fortunate enough to have met Jose Canseco twice over the past two years. Whenever someone would go to a show, I would always think that the people who paid these big bucks to get autographs were ... well ... nuts! Why pay $100 on an autograph, when you could get them on ebay for half or less? As I have been creating custom cards over the past few months now, my eyes have been opened. What a rockin' ice breaker to be able to talk to
Color Explosion at the Donruss Factory!
Before you read anything else, if you like one of these and want them autographed, let me know! The show is this weekend, and I am looking for some extra scratch to get them autographed myself as well! WARNING WARNING WARNING The following pictures may cause an artifical digitally induced sugar rush. Haters of these or these or even these need not apply. (Shout out to the double rainbow dude for making it okay for guys to like rainbows again.) With that said, let's get to it. As you probably well know by now, Christmas is just around
Mailday Freebies … #2 blew me away!
Last week, I was approached by a few folks on here that have been checking out some of my custom work. They asked if I wanted a few things for free. I'm going to start off with the first. 1) ajw9356 contacted me saying he had a few older shirts he was going to get rid of that had some nice patches on them of FSU and the Braves. He asked if I wanted them to make customs out of later. He cut them out of the shirts and sent them on his dime. How cool is that?!? Thanks ajw9356!!!
How to make 140,000 cards disappear
Today was a rather busy day. After church, I was to go to a card show, then to a dealer friend's storage unit to pick up about 140,000 cards, and come back home to sell some card holders to someone coming from over an hour away. Originally I was just planning on going to the storage unit, but another dealer friend alerted me on my blog to there being a show in town. I was going to say no as it was about 45 minutes away, but it turned out it was only 3 minutes down the road from the
My flip quest has taken quite the unconventional turn …
For those of you who have participated in, or have been following along with my flip quest you have seen that it has changed quite a bit recently. It went from just baseball, to baseball, soccer, hockey, football, racing, basketball, etc. Well, folks - we have reached another level. This might give you feelings like Allen & Ginter did when they started introducing duck callers with a piece of their flannel into their boxes, but here it is for better or for worse. I personally think it is better, because it diversifies things so much more. I want to keep
