Totally agree, however people want to buy and not trade, as they don't have anything I need or they need. It's a catch twenty two. So I go the trade or buy, so I am able to buy the stuff I need now (unfortunately)I always buy a few boxes because busting them and either getting a hit you want or giving you something to trade are my favorite aspects of the hobby.
I have tried to trade this year buy as you guys say most want to buy/sell, which I have ended up getting dragged into to get what Im wanting to collectTotally agree, however people want to buy and not trade, as they don't have anything I need or they need.

That being said I was lucky enough to hit an emerald in a razz and get a wicked trade gor it too..I have tried to trade this year buy as you guys say most want to buy/sell, which I have ended up getting dragged into to get what Im wanting to collect
I don't think you can target people who hit the good boxes... thats the hobby?? I like the razzs and trades its great.
Been a better year with the hits coming out more often than not also.
If you get a dud box... thats just unlucky. It has to happen if people are going to get the rarer mojos ect.
It's not about targeting people, the hobby is all about luck but the big hits should be separated, not in the same box. This also opens up case searching, jag the big box early and dump the rest.
I don't mind case breaks, razzes etc either but this has a significant impact on the prices due to the volume which hits the secondary market.
Thats a supply problem not the people buying boxes. I know diggaz is great at distributing cases which are definitely not searched ect. A member cant be at fault for that... maybe ebay power sellers.
I I agree with the eBay power sellers.. before the release the mojo were cheap and the 'accidental' early release has hurt also.Agreed, it is absolutely a packaging fault, no idea where the targeting individuals came from. Most of the distributors are very honest, to a fault in fact, but there are obviously some shady bits going on. Again I can't see in previous comments how the individual was perceived to be the issue.
When approaching someone like Panini (NBA, NFL etc licence holder) the very first question you're asked is....Do you eBay? If so, provide Ebay username. I don't believe they're too interested in that sort of model and their business.
You are quite correct, ESP prices in general don't seem to hold value but particularly Elite. Aside from the jersey patch signatures I don't think I have seen an Elite League Sensation or Young Gun start at $200-$300 (maybe Cam Smith from 2014 was the exception and a hoarder was involved).
It is really sad to see because some the signature cards look great with excellent choices as the signers. The huge amount of stock busted by Day Trader and a couple of other big sellers is certainly a contributing factor as is the lack of master collectors still in the game. This leaves so many more cards on the secondary market for longer.
The other equally disappointing aspect is your average collector bust boxes with no intention of holding anything and then flip the cards onto the secondary market for nothing or drop them in razzes. The trading aspect of the hobby is suffering significantly because of this, lots of collectors seem to be in the game to make their money back or if they are lucky a profit.
The collation of inserts is better this year, hardly seems to have been a dud box but putting a Mojo and redemption in the same box is nuts! No way should there be two high end hits like that in one box, really makes buying boxes risky. A collector should never expect to make money from a box, that is a dealers job!
That's interesting. I do like that idea, could it work with here with our current great dealers without affecting them ? (IMHO @Diggaz TC does a great job at promoting and selling for product and always great person to talk to about products)Correct, I know of one overseas re-seller who deals direct with Panini and they inadvertently had a single Panini box up for sale on ebay.....and they quickly were told pull the auction or risk losing your access to product.
They are very vigilant about people dumping product and setting the low mark on pricing.
I agree with Wookiee, the extreme set was value for money and looked top notch.
I also thought the Extreme Set was value for money & quite cheap to complete a Master Set of for less than $1000.00.
he lost 30kg for the sapphire photo I am assuming.can someone show me what's wrong with the Josh Starling Silver, cause it looks fine to me. Is there something wrong on the back?
