No.

Maybe.

Ebay is a cesspool.

No more power seller certificate on your wall?

The selling fees are atrocious.

 

[Boner_18]

Nah. I don't have time for it and yes, the fees are crazy and the buyer protections border on prohibitive to medium volume sellers.

You have to really do serious volume, preferably with easy/cheap to ship items to make it worthwhile.

Most products/niches have decent buy/sell/trade discord communities if you're looking to make a little extra on the side.

I've been buying on FB Marketplace, that's where the deals are. @mrquincy found me the Gump Worsley.

I might try buying low/selling high on the Habs stuff to work my way up to a legit, non-basket case Rocket Richard. Although I'm thrilled to have gotten this trimmed one basically for free. It looks super cool. I managed to get quite a bit of the glue off the back in just one pass.

COMC is the go-to for selling $100 and under if you have a lot to move. They do all the work.

Scored this today, once again thanks to @mrquincy , who is spending a lot of time looking for cool cards on the Interwebs.

Jacques Plante was an Oiler for his last year in the pros. Oilers were in the WHA then (1974-75). Really neat card.

Got a pretty clean 1959-60 Bernard Geoffrion to go with my Henri Richard. $30. It has a bit of a tape mark on the back but it's pretty minor, should come off fairly easily.

Bunch of the boom boom family lives in Nashville. I played in their tournament recently.

That's awesome man. I remember Blake Geoffrion had to retire suddenly because of a blood clot or something.

 

[Blitty]

Yeah that sucked.

His dad Danny is always hangin around rink, trying to cash out in on the boom boom fame any way possible.

I'm now on the hunt for a 1959-60 Parkhurst Tim Horton and a rookie (1955-56) Jacques Plante, ideally with minor issues like stuff glued to the back and mild creases. I'm getting decent at fixing this stuff.

Boom Boom had a raised bottom edge that flattened quite nicely:

how did the stores ended up using the Tim Horton name?

 

[Matty]

Tim Horton himself was a co-founder. The first one was opened in Hamilton. Been meaning to go there.

Back in 1964 It was his second job, opened up a coffee and donut shop. Now there are around 4000.
