[home plate 1989]

So my auctions ended and here are the final results for those who follow along....more in depth box break downs can be found at the link.

Summary:
SRP on a 10 Box case $1,450
Sales on singles from 10 box case = $538
Overall loss from 10 box case = $912

I never expect to make money (realistically I always expect to lose but then hopefully come away with a few cards for my personal collection and the fun of the experience) but this particular product was a little too exteme for my tastes.

I felt the Buy Back cards they used were cheap (low grades not real vintage) and could be found at most LCS or Card Show bargain bins. Simply slapping a ITG PSA Slab on it does not make the cards more desirable.


Until next time!

Thats part of the gamble

I agree with box/case busting as a gamble...but to break a 10 box sealed case and 90% of the boxes don't produce even close to 70% of the value back is a bit extreme. That means in this case there wasn't even one collector who would have fared well on any of the boxes.
