    if u search 'hot pack', or 'guaranteed', on ebay, u get a bunch of guaranteed game used or auto packs from ppl that also know these "secrets". sounds weird calling them secrets huh, like they're special or sumtin lol.

    willmacowski....that great but what about the other 23 packs? Who gets them? No wait actually retail locations
    have many boxes....lets say ten...so you walk away with 10 packs of GU and you leave 230 packs of garbage
    for everyone else. Does that seem fair?

    Ill tell you a little secret I have....actually Ill give it to you for free!

    I keep in my car a little secret package...it contains 10 of the crappiest GU cards I could find and some
    gorilla glue. Im waiting until I see one of these guys who knows the secrets. Im going to follow him around
    until he goes inside and then Im going to give him my GU so he doesn't have to rape them from the local
    retail market...well actually I won't give them to him, I will glue them all to the front driver side of his windshield!

    That way he can look at them all the way home...if he can get there!

    I love a good secret!

    Sincerely,
    Charles Bronson

    I would pay money to see a picture of that! image AND I MEAN IT
    I dont mind a quick feel but to grope and move the cards and lift them in the pack is wrong.

    So CB, how do you get those 'little secret packages'? Is there like some kind of little secret packages
    "secrets" that I can buy?

    Thanks JS. I knew it wouldn't take you long.
    I would love to see that windshield and in fact would pay to see
    that as well. I think getting out the camcorder and sitting on the curb eating ice cream would be better. The expression would be priceless; and the memory forever. imageimage

    The "hot pack secret" that you bought is just another con that operates on this principle: "Send me money and I'll tell you how to make money."

    Time to graduate from the little boys' scams and buy a 1952 Topps Mantle that the seller is not sure whether it's real or not, but he thinks so, it came out of his grandpa's attic, and by the way, his auction and his feedback are private. Money order or Western Union only, please.

    Sorry for the tough love, but best that you learn fast.

    lol.. he's not kidding, either.. and for good measure, he should slap one of those GU cards on the guys forehead with gorilla glue as well..

    ps - in Florida, concealed firearm permits are signed by commissioner "Charles Bronson".. i found that humorous..

    hey williewonka...great to see a new dipstick come to the board. Hopefully your last trip in. I can only hope that I will bump into you feeling up my local walmart packs. Sorry if I make a scene.... Just like to see if it is possible to embarass mental midgets.

    willa...actually you are the one who is getting schooled. Everyone knows the retail market is loaded with waste!
    Heck I would be willing to bet that you won't get your money back on a one pack purchase at least half the time!
    All the great cards are in hobby boxes, and the few topps autographs that are out there can't be searched!

    So that leaves you with garbage my friend.

    ....you know I love going to card shows and seeing the fat local pack searcher trying to sell his cards. He has
    loads of retail pulls...usually lined up nice and neat, but none of them are worth anything. Then I stroll over
    and start asking him questions about the product, like "wow, you opened up a lot of that.....do you have the
    base cards with you?"....he always squirms....which usually releases a stink cloud from his filty shirt. Usually
    that is enough to send me packing, but I love to force the issue....."so what card shop do you get your cards
    at?", I ask..urrrrr, well...ahhhh.... he mummbles stupidly. Everyone knows that if you have 40 GU cards from the
    same product at your table you are a card searcher...no one buys that much retail and no one ever keeps
    ripping expensive hobby if that is all you are getting!

    Then I might begin to ask about some of his cards and he gets all excited that he might make 6 bucks on a card
    he got for only 2.99....sometimes there will be a nice card there, maybe books 100 or so....of course its only
    in a dirty penny sleeve because pack searcher is too cheap for a top load.....Ill pick it up and look at it and ask him
    some questions and point to some other cards, asking him how much.....in the mean while while he is confused
    I take my thumb and tweak a corner...oh Im quick, you will never catch me.....Im much quicker than you are
    in front of the retail case, feeling up UD mvp. You won't notice it until Im long gone and the only nice card
    in your case is now garbage...LOL......I guess you have to find a Carlos Feebles or Dwight Evans fan now huh?

    See ya soon!

    That's where you find these little sh1ts selling their stuff at inflated prices! I was waiting for you to chime in - I just wanted to see where he was going with this. I kind of feel bad for him in a sense that he didn't know the audience here, perhaps, compared to another board.
    I was at Target the other day and the boxes were in a shambles! I'ld like to be there when that crap is going on - the 'gorilla glue' would only be the beginning. You only have to get screwed once on open boxes to cop an attitude toward these jerks IMO.

    Clearly he wandered down the wrong street here in CU. I did that the other day, in a forum where they were talking about Griffey Jr. cards being "old" and Yu Gi Goh or something being the best thing ever. Good thing I had my GSP cell phone and navigated my way out!

    My personal belief is that you can search all the packs you want because none of the new junk that's out is worth anything in my opinion. And to think packs sell for $3 a pop at a minimum, it's insane people still buy any of them. Limited editions, game used, auto's... it's old and tired, the cards are mass produced, most aren't even worth the cardboard they are printed on. All someone needs to do is open a Beckett to get an idea where this hobby has gone in the matter of new junk cards... in Beckett baseball, 1909-1978 are summarized on 2 pages, while 2004 issues take up 23 pages. Try selling any of that new junk and getting anywhere near Beckett list prices on eBay... it'll never happen.

    Someone answer this for me then.... Where does Beckett get these prices? They say they are the average that are reported from dealers and yadda yadda.... but some of you guys are dealers. Do you ever get close to Beckett price? I'm just curious cuz someone should start a "reality" price list that goes by the average a card sells on Ebay.

    Beckett already has an Ebay price guide on their site, but it's woefully incomplete and lacking in data (or was, the last time I checked).
