I have Jordan rookie cards worth like 10% of this. Can we stop pretending that anyone gives a fuck about women’s basketball?

I haven't given a shit about even men's basketball since the late 90's. But, Clark can play. That motherfucker can pass, handle and shoot like Bird, almost. It's about as "exciting" as women's basketball can be. 1300 clams for that card is retarded, though.

10%? Righteous bucks.

Men play h.o.r.s.e, the women play h.o.r.s.e.f.a.c.e

Isn’t 10% of $1,200 $120?

 

[Boq the Lonely Faggot]

Isn’t 10% of $1,200 $120?

Isn't $120 more than $13.99?

I was making fun of Ann Meyers and women basketball in general, stupid.

I got a friend who bought a bunch of rookie cards off ebay (in "good" condition never mint) and had them pressed into coasters. So you'd put your beer on a Steve Young or Thurman Munson rookie card, all so you wouldn't stain his stupid wood table. Very good bit, always popped me as a guest, feel free to steal it.

I’m stealing that idea. That’s genius.

Only because it came back from the grading company a 10. It costs like $50-60 a card to get them graded, and if they give you an 8 or a 9 for some indiscernible or imaginary flaw, you might be lucky to recoup your money. But a 10 is like hitting the jackpot. She's hot right now, so that stupid card will sell and probably quickly, too. Coins and paper money are the same way, too. Coins are graded from 1 to 70, and the value difference between 68 or 69 and 70 can be huge, even though they appear to be identical. And who the fuck knows who's actually sitting there grading these things. A roomful of maladjusted dorks has entire hobbies full of nerds by the balls.

That's why the coaster bit is so brilliant. The 5s, 6s, 7s have a frayed edge or some sun damage on one spot but that makes them cheap and priced to sell. Meanwhile unless you're hanging with one of those maladjusted trading card dorks, they're gonna flip their shit over putting their Bud Light on a genuine Charles Barkley rookie card.

I’m not mailing a fucking card to get graded. I have Gretzky rookie card that’s worth a lot but I’m not going to mail it and let it get damaged. Probably just hold onto it and let my bastard kid inherit it.

And that's the rub. Unless it's graded, you'll only get lowball offers. The difference between an 8 or a 9 and a 10 is so slight, you can't possibly tell from eyeballing it. And no one will pay good money for what amounts to a gamble. They'll lowball it, then once they have the card, send it in themselves and hope to get that valuable high grade. Not that I'm suggesting having it graded or anything, as I wouldn't just throw it in the mailbox and hope for the best either. My point is merely how gay and stupid the whole hobby is, and how the nerds at the grading companies basically lord over the entire thing.

It’s in perfect condition. My uncle kept it in a hard case forever and gave it to Bonnie when he was born. eBay says it’s worth anywhere between $350 and 25k so obviously the market is all over the place. Either way I’m just going to keep all my cards. I could never get back the investment on all those stupid sets I bought pack by pack when I was in middle school.

But perfect to us means nothing when it's under the grading asshole's microscope. "Oh, the lower left corner isn't exactly as sharp as others I've seen, and it's off-center by .5 of a millimeter. It's an 8.5 at best". And now the best Ebay offer you'll get might be several hundred bucks. Ungraded, though, it'd be significantly less than that. The hardcore collectors who are in the market for mint condition cards want graded examples, and the dealers cater to this.

And having dealt with card, coin, comic book and record collectors in the past, I can say with total confidence that sports card dealers are almost invariably gigantic assholes who'll do whatever it takes to rob you blind at any opportunity. "Oh, what's that? A Honus Wagner rookie? Meh. I have twelve of 'em I can't move as it is. I'll give you fifty bucks for it". Coin guys are equally shitty, too.

Nah, that’s why I’ll just keep it forever but he did have the sense to unpack it and put it in a hard sleeve right away. I could probably get it graded by Beckett next time they come to the card shop by me. Like I said, it’ll be given to the offspring of some random broad I recklessly cum in.
