Morning guys,

Just thought I would share some great card news with you all.

I purchased the Lamarcus Aldridge 13/14 Crusade Black a couple of weeks ago for $81. I had the thought of starting an LA PC (after trading for him in my 2K14 team) but have decided against it as it would get out of hand and very costly very quickly.

This morning I was putting cards up for sale on my COMC site and thought I would test the waters with a $149.99 price tag. It sold within 2 hours!!! To say I am stoked is an understatement as I don't have an endless supply of $$$ to spend on cardboard. Could I have got more? Possibly. But I am happy either way.

Who else has a similiar story? I have seen threads with card sales with cards that have been pulled from boxes but I am more looking towards the cards you have bought cheap and sold for a considerable amount more.

$ wise it was only small amount but profit wise my best resale was from a card I picked up from the first National I ever went to.

Picked up a Penny Hardaway upper deck base numbered to 100 for $1 and sold on ebay for over $40.

I also used to buy old boxes on ebay and have shipped surface mail to save on shipping costs ( they took ages to get here) and I sold a box of 93-94 upper deck for $250 on ebay.
 
I don't think I've ever made a big profit. Most of my sales are cards I've busted or cards I've impulse purchased and ended up selling later on at a loss when I've wanted make some room.
 
Sold a Panini Private Signings of Rudy Gay #/99 (I think) for $79 when the product was new out of Hoops. Expected about $10-15 in all reality on the auction.
 
I bought a griffin classics and royale rookie autos for $40 each during his injury year, had to sell them during the blowup and pretty sure I got 350 each... Bought them back for 60 each later on haha, on the other hand sold some Lin limited rookie autos for spare change each when weeks later in linsanity they were going for over 1k for a pair :(
 
I had a buyer i used to buy from in the USA for my 2011-12 gold standard chases after purchasing i saw a Chris Webber Black Gold jersey asked him if he can include it in free with my shipment and he did.
Got it and it was Jersey numbered.
I though meh ill throw it on ebay for $59.95 it sold within a couple hours.
I was stoked haha
