I don't do much trading, but I had reached out to a guy online who was selling his collection. As it turns out, it was a guy who I had setup next to at a card show I was at. He had a bunch of older wax and sets he was trying to get rid of. He brought up the "x-factor" that all of us collectors have to deal with: The wife. He mentioned that if he sold his collection, his wife would probably end up taking the money, so he'd like to keep it fun, and just keep it
Not too shabby! Adam 2012 Topps Break 2- Broadcast your self LIVE
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The empty gravity boxes were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that packs of baseball cards soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of superfractors danced in their heads Strasburg in its magnetic holder, a screw down held Shaq Both had been pulled from a few newly busted packs When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I ran downstairs and saw it was the batter Away to the
Here is a video of the bust I did for the guy. I can't tell you how much fun it is to do this for folks! 937Seth 2012 Topps Blast- Broadcast your self LIVE
Over the past several years, both professionally and from a hobby perspective, I have run into many, MANY interesting characters. Delving into buying and selling sports cards, among other things have really shown me how different people can be. I think you tend to find out how diverse we really are ... especially when it comes to making a deal. I run into many things that I try to make a buck off of. If I post a barbie, you get all kinds of moms who want them for their little girls, so they hop in their $50,000 SUV, and
So, I did an "I Break, You Buy" for a feller named Ryan tonight on Blog TV. A fun time was had by all. While me, and the small crowd of people were waiting for Ryan to make his presence, the group was treated to a song, and dance by yours truly. I promise I'm not on any meds. By that same token, I can almost promise you that everyone there thinks I should be. Ahh, teh interwebs... Anyway, The break was of a 2012 Topps 24 pack series II. $24 gets you a LIVE and recorded bust of it,
Here are the hits and the videos! Mike672 opted to have me bust his box for him, video tape it, and he gets the hits. He only paid $16 for the box, and left the commons behind, so he didn't have to pay to ship them. I'd say he did really well! It looks like about $80 worth of book value here.

I have about 220 or so factory sealed boxes left, and I'm going to offer this up to some folks. I think this should be fun. You pick from the list of unopened boxes I have here. Here is how it works. Let's say you only want to buy a box of 2008 Goudey. I sell that locally here for $25 (retail, it is $72 + Tax!) but shipping would probably be another $6 or so. $31 for the box delivered to you is still a great deal, but here is the difference. You have *me* bust it for you
Well friends - it has been about 2 weeks since I acquired the massive lot of unopened stuff, and I am down to 249 boxes. While I have plenty left, 66 boxes have flown the coup! I have had fun opening some, and trying out different ways to sell. I sold a few pack lots to some folks online, who promptly requested upgrades to 25 pack lots, got them, loved them, and are asking for more when money comes in. Would you like to try a pack lot? I sold some online, and locally, too. One of the online guys is
Over this past week, I ended up purchasing a mammoth amount of unopened boxes, sets and cases of sports cards! Heck, I even ended up grabbing a case of Star Wars the Clone Wars cards. This has been something of a ritual for the past 3 years - buy out a boat load of unopened stuff, resell a ton, open some, and everyone has a blast. I'm opening up this opportunity to you, the reader of my blog. There are several ways you can get your hands on this stuff. First, is by telling me what you want by the
