HOW TO SPEND MY $166 IN EBAY BUCKS

With 3 x my previous Ebay bucks high, I've done some serious thinking about how to spend my windfall. I collect vintage graded rookies and graded unopened wax/cello. However, I was thinking about having a little more fun with this free money. Any suggestions on unopened product with the best return potential on getting cards graded. Id like to stay around $200 or under as I also have a $10 coupon to use. Thanks, Tom

    Sounds like we have similar interest, though the bulk of my unopened is raw. That being said, I'm not much of a modern guy, but have recently fallen for Heritage as a very fun rip. Not sure it's a money maker but it sure is fun. Or $166 can get you an assortment of 80's vending, or 6-7 84 BB vendors and go for Donny. Or maybe 87 Donruss racks or blisters might get some RC tops/bottoms or yield a nice Maddux.

    Can hardly wait to hear what you decide.

    Best of luck.

    You could spend it on a special microwave. image

    Mike, he wont need a special one; I tested the gum melting process about a month ago with a regular microwave and a return of the jedi pack and nearly burnt my house down!!!! But alas, I got the gum to melt!!! Will pm you later with the full story.

    Buy this card, you could take out a small loan for the difference.

    I do have that $10 coupon also. Plus, I would build up my next ebay bucks certificate.

    If you did buy that card, the next eBay bucks certificate would be healthy.

    Not as healthy as you'd expect, $100 cap on individual transactions and $500 cap total per quarter.

    lighningboy, I'm in a similar quandry. I'm probably picking up some Heritage, not sure Bowman or Topps yet, but don't believe there's a lot of demand for graded Heritage.
