It's basically cardboard roulette, Matt says. And I agree. Most of the time, collectors pay top dollar for these higher end products, and then the non-mojo SiCk hItZ end up on eBay for a fraction of the cost of the product.
A small portion of collectors certainly must pull great cards, but the others? Well they list Dellin Betances cards like this for dirt cheap:
So like Matt, I'm happy to let other people pay premium prices, and then reap the (cheap) benefits when the cards they don't want hit eBay.
Buying singles of high end products is definitely the way to go.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a 2016 Tier One relic of George Brett for $4 shipped. Pretty sweet, but, yeah, if a relic of a retired HoFer goes for that, there can't be many people seeing a profit on these.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness Vogelbach isn't a big name, because I would have broke the bank last summer. I picked up many high-end singles at similar prices. Thank you, Ebay!
ReplyDeleteThe thing that irks me about these is that for every good deal you get (like $3 shipped on a relic numbered to 399), you start thinking of going after the other serial numbers of the same player. Only to find that they're all from different sellers and charging $3.50-5 shipping. Blasting them all into gray whale territory lol.
