  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  prediction: onchain platforms can and will become the main pricing venue for at least some major card categories (instead of eBay/alt/fanfics sales) just to point out some structural issues with offchain venues: - there are multiple different fee structures (PSA charges 7.5-13% based on sale value, eBay 13-15%, Alt 4-14%) - sale taxes are not accounted explicitly, you buy from a PSA vault and keeping it there? 0% DE state tax, you ship it home pay 5-12% in state taxes, you ship oversees even more complicated. same goes with shipping cost which again takes place on check out. this is before I go into credit card + fx fees with onchain platforms it's simple. vaulted by default, settled mostly with USDC, shipping comes after, and platform fees are low and fixed. you can't possibly make the case against onchain taking over.

  The Masterstroke Behind GameStop's Bid for eBay. When the GameStop CEO made a staggering $55.5 billion push to acquire eBay at $125 per share, Wall Street laughed. Analysts pointed to the obvious math: GameStop has a market cap of roughly $10 billion and cash reserves sitting near $9.4 billion. Even with a $20 billion financing commitment letter from TD Securities, RC was facing an immense capital shortfall. eBay’s board immediately dismissed the offer as "neither credible nor attractive." Yet, RC isn't backing down. He recently doubled down, withdrawing a massive $35 billion potential performance bonus to ensure corporate leadership is completely focused on the takeover. GameStop is heavily buying up eBay common stock and building derivatives exposure. He clearly sees something the rest of the market is missing. To understand the strategy, look at the underlying asset: the global collectibles and alternative investment industry. It is a massive market, but it is currently bogged down by friction. While eBay possesses a premier network of physical authentication hubs and vaults (thanks to its infrastructure partnership with PSA), it remains restricted by traditional payment rails. When a high-value physical asset or a rare digital gaming item changes hands, the platform is plagued by settlement delays, high transaction fees, and shipping liabilities. eBay owns the physical architecture, but it completely lacks the digital clearing infrastructure required to turn culture into a frictionless financial asset... GameStop wants to build a unified system where assets stay securely stationary in physical vaults, while ownership transfers instantly and securely on a digital exchange. But how does a retail company plug that massive digital tech gap? This is where the corporate puzzle pieces fall into place, and it comes with a major catch. Enter tZERO. tZERO is an SEC & FINRA regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS) that specializes in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). It owns the exact regulated digital clearinghouse infrastructure that eBay lacks. If you want to take a high-value alternative asset portfolio, secure it, and trade fractional shares of it instantly with real-time settlement, tZERO’s tech stack handles it seamlessly. The twist? GameStop doesn't own tZERO. It is heavily owned and controlled by $BBBY. They have been actively pushing tZERO to restructure its capital token framework to maximize corporate flexibility. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is hungry for capital to fund its own ongoing brand acquisitions and e-commerce growth. This creates a perfect opportunity for a strategic corporate spin-off. GameStop can inject substantial cash directly into Bed Bath & Beyond to carve out and acquire a controlling stake in tZERO. This move provides Bed Bath & Beyond with the liquidity it needs for its turnaround, while handing GameStop the crown jewel of digital financial clearing. By integrating tZERO as the institutional backend clearing firm for a combined GameStop-eBay footprint, the final picture becomes clear. This structural loop completely eliminates shipping damage, return fraud, and long settlement delays. A buyer can purchase a fractional share of a historic collectible or an ultra-rare in-game asset, watch it appreciate, and sell it seconds later. The item never leaves the secure vault, but liquidity moves instantly. 🧸

  Before I sell the camera I have to download all the photos off the SD cards. Apparently I used it for more than eBay. But I can't do it. I don't know which one of my disorders is causing it but I can't figure out how to transfer them or even where to transfer them to. That scares me. I used to easily be able to do that. My old PC is slow but still works.

  @TrevorIRL I tend to think he’s likely waiting on the eBay target to fall by the way side or become far more attractive is it correlates with the boarder market. I don’t believe GME can get pushed down much further because collateral will become scarce for the shorts. Going to be fun to watch. Hoping nothing happens for another 4 more days, waiting for a large transfer.😬

  I will never give @ebay another penny of my money. I signed up for a new business account to sell an antique item I found in a storage unit. It admittedly was not in the greatest condition so I went online and painstakingly researched what I should do to be as honest and specific about it in order to not cause a problem. After going to town to list this item in the best possible way, showing every photo possible and acknowledging the exact kind of clientele this was for, my account got hit with an immediate AI suspension email. "because of activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk." Nothing to tell me why it was risky, nothing to tell me what I did wrong or what I should do about it or how to fix it. No simply denying the listing and letting me keep the account, no asking questions about the item, or even a hint as to what will happen next. No, I had to contact them by email to ask what I need to do to fix this. The response? PERMANENTLY suspended. Again, not a single reason. Just because. Google AI ends up telling me that this is a huge reported problem for a ton of sellers, and that the "permanent" ban is not as permanent as I think, and that I should use the phone line to request a review and maybe get it restored. The phone rep told me this suspension was all about "verification." Why would you do a suspension for that? Why not just tell me in the beginning to wait until the account is good? But at least, now I'm thinking this isn't so bad. We can fix this, now. Instead, the guy looked at the case for all of two minutes and without asking a single question just said "Nope, it stays suspended" and gave me just as little information. In his own words, said "we cannot give you any information." That's it. No day in court. No deductive reasoning. "Just done.... Shut up and go away...because we said so, that's why." And you can't blame it on bots, this time because a literal human being told me: "No, I can't tell you anything." "We understand that this must be frustrating, but this decision was not made lightly." And yet you sure handled it lightly enough. I'm sure that 2 minutes on hold must have been one heck of a deliberation. It was a book, BTW. An antique book.

  I also forgot to include the mention of a post I made yesterday about people that are scamming their viewers and making people pay money for Sprites and this wasn't directed at Phill and his name wasn't even mentioned in the post either but yet again he assumes everything is about him when it's not. I don't watch his streams, I don't look at his Twitter account at all except for today obviously when people make me aware of a post made about me and again pretty much this entire week so far I've been helping work on my house. The post that I made about the Sprite issues too was also based off of stuff I've seen throughout last week and this week including where people are selling Sprites on Ebay and there have been people on YouTube streams begging people for SUBS or Money in exchange to them getting Sprites in return.

  2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome NFL Analysis Keeping this one shorter than usual as I have a ridiculous amount of analysis to do over the next few days. If you are a fan of Cosmic, you know what you're getting. This one has everything you expect from the brand. If you are not hip to the Cosmic game, you're getting a fantastic looking product with a cohesive theme, centered around rare inserts with autos being the cherry on top. Part 1: The Basics Cosmic NFL drop via EQL tomorrow- Friday June 19th. Drop price is $650/box. Well, that didn't take long. We have our first WTF. Though Cosmic is always popular, we really need to install some goalposts here. The NBA version of this product, with its epic rookie class, pre-sold at $580 but then took a ridiculous jump for release day to something like $750. It didn't take long for people to realize it's pretty easy to get massacred at that price. Prices remained stagnant from there. These can still be snagged for $800 on ebay. Topps is effectively attempting to put flippers out of business. And $650/box for a lackluster NFL class should make moves to accomplish that goal. Part 2: Production numbers Total cards in product: 4,632,600 Compare this to 2025 Cosmic NBA: 6,355,200 At least they made 27% less of this than the NBA version. As they should. Total Production by format: Hobby- 57,770 boxes (7,221 cases) In addition, we have what has come to be known as a Cosmic staple- the elusive Lunar Boxes. Extremely tough to hit, these "God boxes" are some of the most exciting and valuable chases in the hobby, and these are even better than usual. Typically, each PACK of a Lunar Box contains a blood-red Lunar Parallel /10 and a better chance at hits than a typical box. Based on odds, Lunar Boxes in NFL also contain 5 autos/box. Not a typo. They went from a "better chance at autos" to a full-blown auto extravaganza. Total Lunar boxes produced: ~138 This means your odds of landing a Lunar Box are 1 in ~420 boxes (1 in 52.5 cases) If you are lucky enough to pull one of these, you won't know until you crack the seal and notice the packs say "Lunar". At that point...take a deep breath. You have a decision to make. Those packs sell for a few hundred each, making an entire box worth maybe $6k give or take. Congrats, you won life that day. Part 3: Heat Map Here's what you can expect from a box of Cosmic NFL: 0.34 autos (1 in 3 boxes should contain an auto, or 2.7 autos/case.) 5.4 parallels 10.6 inserts 2.4 numbered cards Lunar Box: 5 autos 26.4 parallels 14.75 inserts 30.6 numbered cards An infinite amount of Aura. Now let's cut to the real chase- Rare Inserts. Cosmic is busting at the seams with rare inserts, and many of them are amazing. For Cosmic NFL, the rare insert list will include Light Years, Cosmic Dust, Cos-Play, Supernova, Starfractor, Planetarium, and the wildly popular Planetary Pursuits. I suppose we could also include Constellations in this, although they are technically parallels here. Your chances of pulling a rare insert from a box is better than your chance of pulling an auto. Combining all the rare inserts listed above, one of these should fall 1 in ~1.75 boxes, or 4.6 per case. 57% of boxes should contain a rare insert. Planetary Pursuits alone should fall 2.1 per case with ~47% being the most common variety, Sun. As far as the checklist goes, namely for Planetary Pursuits..I think it's solid. Maybe not amazing. I love that Mahomes has Planetaries. Those will hit hard. I have to wonder when Topps will get rights for Mahomes autos. I know I'm a homer being from KC and all, but the lack of Mahomes autos leaves a serious void in current licensed NFL products. Meanwhile Panini is laughing in their face and producing a product the price of a car that's basically all Mahomes autos. It's like trying to put a quick 10k miles on that rental car just because you can. Part 4: Value Map Based on drop pricing of $650. $/card: $8.13 $/parallel: $121.04 $/auto: $1,911.76 $/numbered card: $270.83 Part 5: What Would the Squatch Do? First let me clarify- I love me some Cosmic. Cosmic boxes are some of the most fun to rip in the hobby. They can also be a gigantic kick in the nuts. Not so long ago, when they were $300-$400, this was doable. At $650+, that fun turns to stress real quick. If I were planning to flip these, I'd be worried. They might do fine. Then again, they might not. I'm sure the "La Carda Nostra" trinity of Topps/Blowout/DA will manipulate the resale market to appear like they're spking in price. Cosmic NBA appeared to be over $1k/box for about 5 minutes too. Don't buy into it. It sucks that the joy has largely been squeezed out of these for rippers. Because they truly are a fun rip at the right price. I think that price is somewhere south of $650. This one screams "Buy singles!" If I'm joining the party, I'm saving the stacks I would have used to rip a few boxes and buying some cool rare inserts of my guys. Planetary Pursuits are phenomenal. Constellations are outstanding. Planetariums are extraordinary. Supernovas, Starfractors, Cosmis Dusts...it's like a candy factory of rare inserts. Maybe that means some will end up being affordable because there are so many options. That's what I'm doing with Cosmic. Let everyone else get kicked in the beanbag while I cherry pick my PC cards. Part 6: Print Runs Base cards per player: ~25,250 Base rookies: ~11,580 ea Unnumbered parallels: Refractor- ~580 ea Nucleus- ~300 ea White Hole- ~75 ea Rookie Refractors- ~580 ea Rookie Nucleus- ~300 ea Rookie White Hole- ~75 ea Unnumbered Inserts: Light Speed (35 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Extraterrestrial Talent (25 card CL)- ~5,790 ea Stars in the Night (25 card CL)- ~5,780 ea Star Clusters (15 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Rare Inserts: Light Years (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cosmic Dust (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cos-Play (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Supernova (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Constellation (100 card CL)- ~24 ea Starfractor (100 card CL)- ~35 ea Planetarium (25 card CL)- ~86 ea Planetary Pursuits (10 card CL): Sun- ~725 ea Mercury- ~360 ea Venus- ~180 ea Earth- ~120 ea Mars- ~72 ea Jupiter- ~36 ea Saturn- ~18 ea Uranus- ~9 ea Neptune- ~5 ea Pluto- ~4 ea Unnumbered Autos: Cosmic Chrome Base Autos (68 card CL)- ~40 ea (I know. The odds say these are easier to pull than Green Space Dust Autos /75, so how can there be less of them? These are never all inserted into a product. Some are withheld for damage replacements, or it's possible not every player signed certain parallels. Whatever the reason, only ~30 of each Green /75 are inserted into the product. Additionally, only ~36 of each Gold /50 are inserted. This is not uncommon. I've talked about this in the past and it's just not worth dwelling on. This will not make the expected pull rate of autos go down.) Solar Flare Signatures (26 card CL)- ~50 ea Equinox Autos (29 card CL)- ~45 ea First Flight Signatures (25 card CL)- ~50 ea #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics #2025CosmicChromeNFL
