As a trading card collector, it makes me cringe when you don't sleeve the good cards before putting them in the plastic loaders

The loaders he used were snap ons not slide in, so it seemed acceptable to me

I'm really confused here. I've never sent out a single card with a toploader and no sleeve. In fact, I didn't topload any of them tonight during the break in the interest of saving time. The Gold Standard are toploaded now.

The only ones I didn't sleeve were the ones that went straight to mags. I've also never received cards in a mag off eBay that were penny sleeved.

ETA: protecting the cards is of utmost importance to me. It's part of why I run a slower break along with giving people actual enjoyment out of their money spent. I really enjoy the fact that not bulldozing through breaks fast as hell allows me to pay attention to each individual card more than the large scale breakers

also, thank you for the constructive criticism. I don't mind it. It's just in this case, what you are saying is factually incorrect.

I thought the same thing as soon as I saw the Bregman. Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, Spurs, Suns, Bucks, Lakers, Kings, and Timberwolves were the big winners. I'm surprised Warriors haven't hit big in any of the breaks.

The Warriors need vet stuff to hit. I'm surprised the 76ers have been cursed.

The plastic cases have a small magnet at the top to protect the card. They are commonly used for the bigger hits. They are easier to use than the screw downs.

I know. I still would have thought a Curry, Green, or Thompson autograph or patch would have dropped by now. Didn't you hit a nice Simmons rookie out of the last break?

No big Simmons. I hit a personal one /49 from a Target pack. Can't hit all the teams. Really glad to have murdered two of the biggest ones in the break though. Lakers/Dodgers.

That Ingram is really nice. That and the Magic were pretty good hits.

Just by looking at everything I assume I'm rich now. Already sent two weeks notice email to my job. Boom!

How many Bellinger did you hit? I lost count. And they had 2-3 autographs. How much is your Simmons rookie worth? I am buying some of the Topps Clearly Authentic autographs. They look nice.

Waiting on grade to come back on that Simmons.

I'm not sure on the Bellinger. Quite a bit, and he might be rocketing past Judge in value with Judge slumping lately. It seems he's going to take over the #1 spot to me at least.

You grade with BGS or PSA? You keeping it?

BGS. PSA is silly. A PSA 10 means you have a good card. It's great for really old cards, not so much the newer ones. You spike a 10 or even a 9.5 with some 10 subs on BGS, it increases value way more than a PSA would imo.

6 Bellinger and 4 Judge from the break. 2 Bregman's. Both awesome ones too. 25/25 and the sparkle/bubble special pack bowman platinum. Shows my luck on personal boxes. Look at how many bregmans in the giveaway vs Judge/Belli. I gave away all the bowman platinum RC. I wanted to give some people a taste of the teams they didn't get a chance to root for. I opened about the same as we did today if you include Chrome and got 4 total Judge/Bellinger.

I'm just happy we had a great break after almost not filling as a yippee to all the people who stepped up.

ETA: Yankees also get the Rutherford redemption (which is /75 I believe) according to checklist and the Dodgers got two autos as well.

I prefer BGS. Their cases are much better. And I like the inner sleeve they put on the card. And the subgrades on the label. But a lot of people on Blowout swear PSA is better.

BGS is inconsistent. Some graders are tough on their grades.

I'm sure people love PSA for sending in base/high parallels. Easy to send in cheaper cards to spike a 10 and flip for 10-20 bucks.

I don't see many nice cards on eBay graded by PSA. You can eyeball cards and get a feel for them. If you have rough centering on an otherwise beautiful card, probably go the PSA route. An 8.5 or 9 means you get a 9 or 9.5 at best.

I really hope the guy who got that Jaylen brown prizm auto /25 sends it into Beckett. That card looked mint to me. It's way too late and my thoughts are discombobulated, but that's my 2cp

So if I was gonna start selling my cards, what's the route to go for that? Like I have a Kobe on card auto patch card that I'm sure is valuable, but don't really know where to start. Plus a bunch of stuff from your breaks
