Giddey Panini One RPAs for $200!

Unbelievable. Prices have well and truly settled and I am starting to think twice about breaking, especially with NBA. Saw a breaker charging $1200 for OKC in a case break. Could probably get a RPA /49, 99 and the low numbered base for that price at the very least

Just paid $250 for one because of Vodafone, but still...i might have to buy a vertical one now

So i have spent $500 on two Giddey Panini One and One RPA's.

The same price as two retail boxes of Prizm. Unbelief

You are becoming a very savvy collector these days..... great pick ups!

LOL I'll take that as a compliment. I admit I was a very bad collector.

Been better with avoiding breaks and am trying to just pick up a few cards a quarter.

Its amazing to see what cards you can buy if you spend the money on singles you like and want to keep rather than boxes and breaks which add up massively over time.

I don't even want to know.

I kept a log of a particular breaker I went with and I lost out on every break. Between 60 and 150 every break without fail. Never hit anything and it would be the same with most. I am a small timer who only bought cheap breaks so would hate to think what the big boys are losing

Why spend 100's or 1000's on breaks and get squat when you can go and spend 1000 and pick up 5 Giddey one and one signed RC's?

Yeah I never buy expensive teams and never hit them with random teams so it's the way I have to go.

I'll still buy undervalued NFL teams in case breaks, but not every single week

Christmas Day fast approaching for the biggest auction bargains all year - also the day when itchy bidding fingers are made more active by a few beers. Will definitely get amongst it again

Anyone seen the documentary that recently came out called Behind the Card? I am currently part was through it and was pretty keen to watch a documentary about the hobby but so far just about investing and not actually about the hobby. This seems to the trend for the last few years which is really off putting to me.

Does anyone have a copy they could send rather than having to give over my personal details to watch it online.

I wouldn’t bother - seems out of date and out of touch from what I’ve seen and heard

Agreed.

Too many shonks got burn in the trailer.

One douche basically took credit for the boom and the Hobby

Lootbox TV just interviewed the guy who did this doco.

I might have to watch, but not really keen on investing part of it

[Iron Clad Lou]

yes. Comps rule the world!

I can't wait for this

 

[araiee]

I’m struggling to sell much on any Facebook group atm even below comps…hate using eBay and rather deal in Australia then overseas…
The funny thing is though when the shoe is on the other foot everyone else wants top dollar for their cards! Or they use the old “he is playing well and hit cards are going up”….I’m quiet honestly over it and might go into hibernation to things improve….

I actually sold 5 higher end cards on US ebay just before Christmas and sales were very strong and $20-40 AUD to ship them tracked and signature and all arrived within 6-12 days which was good considering ut was the lead up to Christmas.

Will probably move some more stuff once Feb rolls around.

They might want top dollar, but everyone is in the same boat...not selling.

 

[TheCardExperience]

I found this a real eye opener but also found it to be a bit of a tease to my collector side as now I want to buy half of those cards at the current prices.

Basically the person shows their own cards and displays the peak price and the current price (Worst kept spoiler: most are 90% drops).
