RIP, whoever sold this for $200 is kicking themselves.

Christmas is right around the corner......

Let's see how long the people let the Government stick it to us. They also want the IRS to have full access to your checking account, to see what you get and where it goes. At first it was anyone making over $600, but there was a lot of push back on that, I think now they're talking $100,000, anyone who makes over $100,000 would have the Government up in their accounts. My question is: Just how long do you think it is going to take them to have full access to all of us, no matter what we make? So...how long are we going to let them steal our freedom? It's no ones business how you spend your money. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Edward Snowden was right.

Just another reason to leave the ebay platform for good. Centralized dinosaur.

Yep ebay flash sale end of year everyone trying to get in lasties.  Then actually eBay might become of sellers market and get better sales due to sellers drying up.  People will definately be discouraged from selling on eBay, etsy, etc.

And now it's time to pay for the brrrrrrrrrrrrr.!!!!!

Good info here, I have been studying up on this also. What is interesting is Ebay will issue you the 1099 but it appears up to you to then disclose to IRS. It appears Ebay will not, but will cooperate with IRS if any documentation is requested of them. Agree next year appears messy….

Well most of these sell on eBay and the US is moving the tax goalposts on US folks starting next year.  Used to be able to sell up to $20k or 200 items before getting a 1099 tax form.  Now it's only going to be $600 before we get 1099s.  So on top of eBay fees ypu now are gonna get hit with income tax.  If anyone is on the fence of selling now might be a good time before the flip of the new year.

I know a few of us managed to grab some of the Hobby Box's available this summer, but will you crack them open OR sell them now/later?
Does $3K-$4K sound like a good price compared to $20K for the X Hobby?     I had a newbie to the Cryptocurrency card collecting arena say that the prices will go back down, recently...........we've watched it from day 1. There's been plenty of "Collectors" that told me that these cards would never be worth anything, they said that I was CRAZY!!! lol
I say to them :  DO YOU STILL THINK IM CRAZY???      (Crazy like a Fox...all of us in here)

Yep shoot for the 10s no matter the pop.

Thanks Chris, Im a bit new to the whole card thing.

Yes, quoting the pop count as a marketing device doesn't mean a lot, unless the card is a perfect 10 grade. After all, there's only one card on record with a low grade of 6, but that rarity doesn't make it more valuable. (However, it may make the card more embarrassing to own. YMMV.)


Chris@TBPCo.

PSA #83 population count, 93 cards exist with a PSA 9 grade 

Defiantely impressive.  As the rest of the card world has shrunk in price the crypto card keeps expanding.  Definately wish I had some unopened boxes to rip.  Would be fun but at these current prices it doesn't make sense.  Rather just straight buy a crypto card.

Wow! 5 days left at 850. Hold on to your hats. Could be 3k or more.   12 times more rare than base. Even more actually.  No glossy in a retail, blaster or value box. Anything under 5k a steal given base cards of same level going for about 1500.

I have always liked this card, glad that it's getting some time in the sun too.  Curious to see the price it sells for.

I guess there's a chump born every second after all.....    And a day & 6 hours left.....wonder what a Hobby box would auction at???

I guess that whoever is buying the pack doesn't know that there're NO Goldie cards in that pack....course, they might get a base card.   



No Goldie's in here either:

Opening bid is up from $350 to $400 for these now, THESE DO have the 3 pack goldies in them. I still have 12 or 14 or so of these left, looks like it was a good decision to hold off on opening them....

Yeah I was hoping they were opening back up some of the lower tier pricing level and it was just an employee leaving memo.  Wierd how they email that out.  Who cares if this guy Steve is leaving the company lol.

Have I missed any announcements about them re opening those lower levels, anyone have an idea when they are opening them back up?

Here's the latest news on the PSA front.     Don't you just love Spiced Pumpkin during this time of the year?!!
 

 
A Message from PSA
 

 
Dear Collectors,

The past few years at PSA have flown by at breakneck speed. We’ve seen more changes than any of us could have ever imagined: record numbers of daily submissions; the temporary suspension of service levels; the hiring of hundreds of new employees; capacity growth to over 40,000 cards processed per day; and a change in company ownership resulting in a shift from a public company to being privately held. And of course, all this taking place during a global pandemic, just to keep us on our toes.

More change is occurring this week. I have accepted a new position with PSA’s parent company, Collectors Universe, to become its first-ever Chief Marketing Officer, which means I will no longer be serving as PSA President. Personally, and professionally, I welcome the opportunity to further advance PSA’s ever-growing brand and strengthen its No. 1 ranking in the authentication and grading industry. My background before being named PSA President in 2018 was in marketing and product innovation, and I’m eager to apply that experience to PSA and Collectors Universe’s family of brands.

Kevin Lenane, who has been working as our Vice President of Product for the past seven months, will now take over as PSA President. Kevin is an experienced business leader whose company, Genamint, we acquired earlier this year to help PSA implement technology in our grading practices to improve efficiency, quality assurance and turnaround times. Kevin will continue our commitment to improving and advancing the quality of all we do. I pass the baton to Kevin and look forward to working alongside him in the years to come.
Thank you,


Steve Sloan
Collectors Universe Chief Marketing Officer
