Things that piss me off

Buy on the established legacy and not the hype........people paying huge amounts for Zions rookie cards could have bought themselves a nice Kobe/Lebron or Jordan at the time.
Buy legends is my rule........or collect the team/players you support & like.

It took me all this time to realize. Legacy is king. You'll have a great collection
Oppenheimer mode?Nothing pisses me off any more - i'm in my Zen era!
It hurts me to say this but I reckon I spent 20K+ on wax in 2018. Credit card was maxed out at all times.
Also if I'd not been such a fiend and kept all the wax I bought in 2018 sealed I'd be sitting on a tidy sum. Just off the top of my head 6X jumbo boxes of 2018 Bowman and 3 hobby boxes of 2018 Bowman. 8X hobby boxes of 2018 Bowman Chrome. 6X jumbos of 2018 Update( $89 each at the time now 2K). 4 Jumbos of 2018 Series 2.
2X Jumbos and 1X hobby of 2018 Topps Chrome. 4X hobby 2018 Bowman's Best. Those were the big money items had they stayed sealed.
3X 2018 Prizm football hobby boxes.
I guess we all have those stories. I imagine there's a few on here who were into NBA and bought a lot of 2018/19 Prizm and higher end.
20K could have bought a few nice Jordan cards at that time but that was not my thinking back then. Had a great time opening the wax but it was a full blown addiction like any other. Better late than never I guess, However, the horse has bolted on a lot of cards that were very obtainable back then.

yeah but you paid good value prices for that wax.
I paid that amount for 2020-21 retail basketball LOL
True. But it was still a waste of money given that the best card from all that was $300USD. I enjoyed 2018 and 2019 but I wish I had put all the drachmas into good cards and built out a serious collection.
It could be worse. I could've gone all in on Ben Simmons.

Paying $30USD for a fomo induced card thinking I got a bargain only to see a hatful of the exact same card for less than half the price I bought it for just two weeks later.
Behold the Lamine Yamal Megacracks rookie. Possibly the most printed card in existence so far.

If you really wanted this card for your collection.........then really doesn't matter what you paid you have one now!
Buy another one cheaper and that will bring down the average cost of your first one down by a bit!
My guess is at least one million of just that card. Just a semi educated guess. There's no way of knowing the exact print run but the boxes from which they come are easily obtainable direct from Panini for just $30AUD. And he has 3 'rookie' cards in the product. This is his true rookie as the others are an insert even though they are labelled rookie cards.
The kid maybe the next Messi but it doesn't matter for hobby purposes as he has so many cards - especially relative to the size of the hobby. Messi has just a handful of rookie cards and they are all from the one product which I think is 2005/06 Megacracks La Liga. Yamal has multiple rookie cards - including parallels - in a dozen or more products - all of which have been printed to the moon. Breakers are living off fomo. The avalanche will soon hit and that's when people will realise how much they overpaid.
Haha. I'll wait untill they hit $5 and buy ten of them. Grade them and flip them like the grasping devil I am. The graded copies are also coming down in price but the PSA10 is still selling strong as these cards generally do not have very high gem rates.If you really wanted this card for your collection.........then really doesn't matter what you paid you have one now!

I'd rather buy the 2018-19 Vinicius Megacracks rookie. Probably printed 1/10th the amount of the Yamal and he's a genuine stud - came second in European footballer of the year and is still only 24.
Never mind no toploader. No sleeve is where it's at. Just slap that bad boy between two bit of cardboard and voila. I had this happen with an acetate Pendlebury card 6 months ago but as the seller was not a sportcard seller they probably had no idea.
The last one was from a mostly sports card seller and it was pretty ordinary to see the no sleeve treatment.

On a similar note, people that ship things in boxes with no packing material
one from ebay (domestic)
one from Amazon (international)
So shout out to Scorptec because they stuff their boxes with so many of those plastic airbags, there is no chance for things to rattle around when they get chucked by postal staff.

I buckled. Bought a hobby box and paid for some spots in breaks. $500 on Afterpay. Snap decision. Hate myself. It's going to take some resolve to beat this. Could've bought a Terry Lamb Legends auto for that. Yuck.
