Josh Reynolds (@joshjreynolds) reportedBetween obtaining pack odds and developing a mathematically-sound calculation method, this project probably required 250+ hours over the past few years. Scraping through hundreds of eBay listings hoping for a clear picture of pack odds, progressing frame by frame through 15 year old YouTube videos trying to get a glimpse of odds during a rip, and incessantly pestering eBay sellers to provide more photos have resulted in the graph shown above. It's my pleasure to now share the results of my degeneracy with you all. To compute each print run, I solved a set of linear equations that used pack odds from n serial-numbered cards in n different pack formats (the number n was usually 6). Doing this allowed me to compute the total number of cards produced in each format for a certain set, which I then multiplied by the percentage of base cards present in each format. After summing these n base card quantities from each format, I divided by the set size to obtain the print run per base card in each set. Assumptions made when performing these calculations: 1.That the odds Topps provided were factually correct. If there are three gold bordered cards in every seven packs, Topps will express this is as 1:2 odds, not 3:7. Therefore, the odds provided by Topps had to be considered accurate. 2.All numbered cards were placed in packs. We know Topps holds some cards back as replacements, and this is sometimes reflected in the odds of very low numbered cards. For example, a manufactured relic /250 in a blaster box might have box odds of 1:10, but the odds for the /25 might be 1:120 if some of the /25 are held back. So, I had to assume all cards were actually placed in packs, and to avoid contaminating the computation, I tried to use parallels where at least a few hundred existed between all formats. 3.For more recent sets, it was assumed that 90% of the cards in each pack were base. For earlier sets, it was easy to compute this percentage using the pack odds. However, as more inserts and parallels were added to sets, computing base card percentages using odds data became a full-day endeavor. I found that assuming 90% base in recent sets results in an error below 5% compared to using the odds-informed base percentage. There are a few interesting trends in these numbers. First, print runs more or less follow the patterns of the economy. If you look at a chart of the S&P 500 during these years, the number of Series 1 cards produced correlates pretty well. There was a significant drop in production between 2008 and 2009 due to the Great Recession, and there's also a dip in the mid-2010s when economic growth in the country slowed. However, this trend is thrown out the window with COVID. 2020 Series 1 had already released by the time that the country entered a quarantine, and Series 2 was already in production when this occurred. Therefore, the first shift we see to reflect increasing demand is in 2020 Update. The print run of 2020 Update was higher than any other set Topps had produced since 2001. In the previous few years, Series 2 and Update were printed in approximately half the quantity of Series 1. However, in 2020, we saw Update Series reach an unprecedented print run and, for the first time, exceed the print run of its Series 1 release. Since then, production has increased significantly, as 2025 Series 1 was printed in triple the quantity of 2020 Series 1. The production distribution between Series 1, Series 2, and Update is now becoming similar to the distribution we saw in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Scott Nodine 🎥📷 (@TheNodine) reported@hdreport Yes, it's worth it. I found a Sony UBP-X700 at a thrift store the same as you, with no power cord or remote. For $6. Thankfully I had a working player and remote at home that I bought at retail that I could immediately test the thift find with. After running it though a series of tests, I found no issues, and ended up with a backup player. 👍 Because I like to have a complete backup solution, I ended up buying a new old stock OEM Sony power cord and original remote for the backup thifted player on eBay.

El American (@elandrecito66) reported@eBay Why doesn't eBay have a single customer service rep with whom I can talk? Their pervasive use of AI to ward off customer issues and concerns troubles me greatly. I guess I will need to ask for my money back with my credit card, since eBay so effectively seeks to block me from any real, human interaction. It is too bad. I always liked eBay. But when you need them, they simply are not there.

Howard Merry (@hipturn) reportedso i list it on ebay. no reserve. manny ends up contacting me and claims the guitar was stolen and he wants it returned. now being a recovering lawyer i knew i was a bona fide buyer in due course and had no notice of fraud so the guitar was probably legitimately mine. nevertheless i offered it to him for…$500. instead of being agreeable. that rocker took to his website claiming i was selling stolen goods. threatened to sue me. lol. needless to say the deal did not go down. later a broker contacted me and paid $5000 for it for the hard rock cafe. I used the money to pay for a beach vacation for my brother's family and mine. it was a good time. but i miss the guitar. it was bona fide bad ***. you can't keep everything. if anyone has seen it in the wild let me know.

Gulf Coast Sports Cards (@GulfCardCo) reportedQuick heads up: Over the weekend I had an inventory glitch that caused roughly half of my 7,000 listings to be removed on eBay and CollX. The company I use for inventory management has since completed a bulk restore, and most everything appears to be back where it should be, but I’m still finding a few oddities here and there. If you happen to come across a card in my store that shows unavailable, looks out of place, or seems like something isn’t right with the listing, please let me know. I’d appreciate the extra set of eyes while I finish getting everything cleaned up. 🔎 Find Your Next Favorite Card.

Bradson (@Bradsongeye) reportedCaller: “Dave… I’m 16. I’m making $50–80k a month dropshipping and flipping on Amazon/eBay. I’ve got over $300k sitting in PayPal right now. But I’m hiding all of it from my mom because she’s traditional and I know she’ll freak out and make me stop.” Dave: “Son, that income is impressive as hell. If you were my kid I’d tell you to keep running it while the window is open. But the secret? That part’s not sitting right with me. Find one adult you both respect, sit down, and have the grown-up conversation. And while this money is printing, start stacking real skills and education, because internet trends don’t last forever. You’re crushing it right now. Don’t let the lie become the thing that sinks you.”

𝓑𝓾𝓵𝓵𝓭𝓪𝔀𝓰 (@jchrismcrae) reported@jsquit @Official_LMM_ The problem is selling customs, not making them or giving them away, right? Let's say I sell a $50 pencil on eBay but give away a free custom 1/64 for each pencil sold. Would that be illegal?

Vernaculist (@vernaculist) reported@ebay is a fraud ridden scam marketplace. I've had enough. Understand that eBay has zero incentive to correct fraud, they profit from it. This is a caution, intended for anyone that needs to be disabused of the notion that the eBay platform offers either party in a transaction security assurances. They don't. They will continue defrauding their users until it becomes unprofitable, and not before. Whether you intend to buy, or become a seller, you will be ripped off, finding out once it's too late that the promises, the commitments eBay claims to have toward being a safe and fair marketplace, are garbage. The check cleared, they got theirs, you lose. Stay away from eBay, if you value your sanity, and your wallet. It's a broken company run by dysfunctional, sick people. Avoid eBay at all cost.

É 🌼 (@kanekiji) reported@iateyofather if they are in every fast-fashion (which i don't support) and in most thrift stores (including online ones like threadup, ebay, vinted, poshmark) they are largely available, what do you want more. Now size inclusivity is another issue of course.

OrderAmidChaos (@HumorOverSorrow) reported@hayasaka_aryan HBO used to be a must sub. But they haven't had a mega hit show since Game of Thrones and even that finished its run by going down in flames during last 2 seasons. Rare gems like the Knight of 7 Kingdoms are few and far between and I gave up on House of the Dragon after one season due to complete lack of sympathetic characters as virtually all characters on that show are trash you want to see fail in the worst possible way. Other day I realized that I was maintaining a sub just to access my favs like Rome, The Wire, Deadwood, Oz, Band of Brothers, etc. So, I bought them on DVD's from Ebay and cut the sub. All of my fav shows were far cheaper than continuing to support this slop.

Anish Moonka (@anishmoonka) reportedAnn Makosinski was 15 when a friend in the Philippines told her she had failed a year of school. Her family could not afford electricity, so there was no light to study by after dark, and the daylight hours were not enough. Makosinski, in Victoria, British Columbia, had been playing with Peltier tiles since a grade seven science project. A Peltier tile makes electricity when one face is hot and the other is cold. She ran the numbers on the heat coming off a human palm and found there was more than enough. Then the problem. The tiles gave plenty of power and almost no voltage, nowhere near what an LED needs. She bought more on eBay, redesigned the circuit, and put transformers in to lift the voltage into range. The body of the flashlight is a hollow aluminium tube. Your hand warms the outside of the tiles. Air moving through the middle keeps the inside cool. The gap between those two temperatures is the entire power supply, and it holds a steady beam for about twenty minutes. No batteries. No charging. No sunlight required, so it works at night in a house with no grid connection, which was the whole point. She won her category at the Google Science Fair in 2013 and went on to build a mug that harvests the waste heat of a cooling drink to charge a phone. A flashlight is a solved problem, unless the thing you cannot get hold of is a battery. Her friend needed light after sunset and had a working pair of hands the whole time.
