@Tr3ll1x @LUCKYY10P I think what he is getting at is new games are not coming out that people like.. the #1 category is not a game at all and then 9 other games on this top list in your screenshot are a decade old at least

@LUCKYY10P Yes, neither of those are surpassing 30k...

TimTheTatman says he’s been enjoying a 15-year-old game on a private server, noting that after browsing Twitch, no category is currently surpassing 30,000 viewers.

@JShodanVR Expensive, hardware is still large and uncomfortable, motion sickness affects a lot of people in VR needs to be figured out

I don’t understand. This stuff is real, it exists, you can actually buy it, and yet the VR market is almost dead. What happened to the kids in the 90s who dreamed about this possibility? Why do modern kids now go crazy for games where you don’t really do anything, where at most you just swipe up and down, or spend their time screaming in stupid games that require no concentration, like amoebas with no curiosity? This stuff finally f***ing exists, and yet the videogame market pretends it’s invisible. F***! F***! F***! In 1998, when we were 13 playing Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation with my friends, we would have killed to be able to play something like this.

@LasVegasFill No beef Wellington is better than just the steak without the coating… it’s just extra steps to make a worse dish every time. Even the best one

Hell's Kitchen in Vegas sells around 900 Beef Wellington's a day at $73.95 each. So good! I get it every time. Have you ever had it? Don't tell me the one at Bardot is better. It isn't.

@ThePackAddict97 The other side of this people don’t talk about is chatters ruining auctions saying a $200 is worth $50 because they are ignorantly ruining the bids. It’s common practice for even most honest sellers to block people who are actively altering peoples auction bids in chat

A card sold for $33. I informed "the chat" that if they wanted said card, there are dozens on eBay BIN for $5.99

@CardsMax Sports will have to reverse the trend of younger generations not watching or caring as much for this to stay true longer term. Ratings and viewership is down across the board except NFL. Almost 50% of Gen Z has never been to a live sporting event

My hot take that really shouldn’t be that hot Pokemon will crash and correct, Sports for the next 2 years will stabilize continue ascending

@TrafficBrokerX Pretty sure Michael Phelps proved you can smoke a bit of weed and still be the best swimmer on earth

You see these guys on here crying “oh can’t smoke weed & be successful” A Seattle Seahawk knocked up my neighbor & has a kid with her He literally chills on the balcony of their big house & smoke weed from sun up to sundown Won the Super Bowl, no issue for him

@JunkWaxHero79 I’ve got a bandsaw. You pay me $10 a slab I can crack like 45 an hour

Someone local to me should start a service where you crack cards out of slabs and guarantee no damage to the card. I’d happily pop in and pay, say, $5-10 per slab-crack.

@paulcarldigital Selling low end cards on eBay is pretty tough full time. It is certainly achievable on whatnot and live selling though. Not only does all the listing time go away.. but the cards will all sell right now. Not stay listed for months. Then it’s all already gathered for shipping

Watch me add 72 cards to my eBay store in under 3 minutes. I earn over 600% more per hour than typical low end singles sellers. In this thread I'm going to show you exactly how (even though I shouldn't and only a few people deserve this info). 👇

@gudstuffco @CardPurchaser The problem is the secondary market has shown that collectors would rather just have the card raw than have a 9. 9’s are common and to most people just aren’t worth paying a premium for. They want 10’s I don’t see this changing that attitude

Banging the drum for snaggin non-10 PSA slabs is going to start paying off now. When the price to grade a single card is half a MegaBox picking up a pre-graded card will hold more value. Days of PSA 9 < Raw cost are dwindling, imo @CardPurchaser

@paulcarldigital @CheckOutMyCards I think they care more about engagement than followers. So if you can show them lot of comments and reactions and stuff they can relax on the followers is what I’ve been told

@Cardizhard @CheckOutMyCards Did they lower the requirements? I tried applying and it said I needed 100k followers total on social across platforms

Every time I get tempted to list a $5 single to my eBay store, I remind myself that I would need to sell over 36,000 $5 singles at a 55% margin to profit $100k in a year. Then I put it in my "send to @CheckOutMyCards" tray.

@lukecombs Just buy the vintage cards you actually want. Buying vintage sealed is just too risky. It’s all changed hands many times and even if the person you bought it from though it was legit the 2nd person before them resealed it…

Appreciate all the love on this new card journey y’all. I didn’t even realize how passionate y’all really are. Think I’m on the hunt for some nostalgic packs. Where’s the best place to get some trustworthy, sealed vintage stuff?!?!

@SportsCardInv Really depends on the era and the player. Also do you mean “popular” or “valuable?” Someone like Ohtani feels pretty safe… someone like Drake Maye could easily see 70% collapses in the next 2 years. Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth unlikely to fall in value much but not “popular”

True or False: Popular cards feel safer than they are.

@CardPurchaser Having only one grading company that actually matters to 90% of the hobby

What is the worst thing about the hobby right now?

@CarloSportsCard If you’re using the bag no need for tape. I highly suggest switching from top loaders to Card Saver 1 for envelopes. The USPS will reject a certain % of the top leaders for being too thick and it will create problems for you if you try and scale this to any real size of sales

Packaging Shedeur Sanders Optic My House. How did i do? I was paid $5 for the card. How can i improve my packaging? Thank you #thehobby #browns #Primetime

@DavidKCalvert @Arkybill1 @psa Currently they do not know who’s cards they have that’s the point… in the scenario talked about here with local small stores offering same day grading?? Taking in local cards and getting them out same day?You don’t think the system is easy to abuse?

@Cardizhard @Arkybill1 @psa You think graders choose what submissions they get? They’re just handed cards and there’s multiple graders

I swear, if @psa could figure out how to open brick and mortar stores that promised same day grading (not at a huge cost) it would take off like a rocket! 1 hour photo model comes to mind! Or BGS or SGC

@yianisz CIFR just announced a $2 billion offering.. market is remembering more dillution is likely coming for all the stocks in this space

Going into $IREN earnings tomorrow here’s how I see it. This isn’t a hype setup. Most fast money already left. Attention is low, expectations are compressed, and the stock is trading on skepticism around hyperscaler capex not on IREN’s actual execution. For me, the numbers matter less than the signal. I want to hear one thing: is the $MSFT deployment on track and fully funded? If AI ramp, capex coverage, and margins are confirmed I think the stock works even in a weak tape. If there’s any hesitation on execution it’ll trade as a proxy for AI capex fear. This is a validation print, not a beat-and-cheer one.

@DavidKCalvert @Arkybill1 @psa Assuming the front desk attendant isn’t also in on the bribing, this doesn’t prevent “Ryan” from telling his best friend “Brad” that he is bringing in these exact 16 cards as a submission today so when he gets that sub you’ll know it’s mine. There would just be be rampant abuse

@Cardizhard @Arkybill1 @psa The graders don’t have to know. Have a front desk attendant and the graders can work in the back

@BeardoTrader $CIFR announced 2$ billion offering and the market thinks all these companies probably will likely be doing more of it in the future

Gross sell off in $IREN before earnings tomorrow. Maybe somebody knows something...

@Arkybill1 @psa You don’t see “Ryan” in Cincinnati asking his new Grader friend “Brad” to grade a bunch of Mickey Mantle cards as 4-5 when he cracked them from 2-3’s? For a bribe? Big money involved. The graders can’t know who is submitting the cards for integrity of the system

@Arkybill1 @psa That’s one location at a time and they can bring experienced graders with them.. Much different than hiring a bunch of guys in random towns/cities all over the country with no oversight, who are going to help their local buddies out..
