RE: 2020 Hobby Goals
1.) An Aaron Judge PSA 10 RC
2.) A 2019-20 UNC rookie rainbow (thinking of using Optic when it comes out 1/29)
3.) Buy fewer online breaks for RT and buy more hobby boxes locally
4.) Get our "team break baseball case" underway
Number 4 needs a little explaining. Several of us became friends through using Layton Sports Cards. We have completely stopped using them due to some issues we have uncovered (fake names in RT breaks, potentially falsifying randoms, messages sent to highest spending customer's to get guaranteed hit buy-backs if they'll help fill breaks, etc). So one of the guys had a great idea: find 10 of us we can trust. Everyone must have a single and different PC team (I will have the Yankees). We started our own Discord server and hang out there and use other breakers now, not Layton. We are thinking of starting with Topps Sterling. The case would go to our buddy in Colorado and we'd all PayPal him 1/10th of the price of the case. He will open it on YouTube when it matches all 10 people's schedule. You get every single card of your team, and the rest gets put on eBay under his account so we can all see the auctions. All money from eBay gets split 10 ways.
The goal is to be guaranteed your team and make enough money back on the non-PC stuff that we come out of pocket as little money as possible. A good example is Tampa Bay. No one is PC'ing them. Any big Wander Franco hit would get sold off and the money split amongst the 10 of us. If a case of ABC costs each of us 300 bucks, we get all the cards of our team and then over the next week or so money from ebay auctions. If a $300 Wander sold, then everyone would get roughly $25 after fees. Now your out of pocket expense is down to $275 from $300. Then another hit sells and so on and so forth. We are at 6 of us right now.
