NEW: New York City teen arrested after he body slammed a girl before stomping on her head because she didn't give him her number. The 15-year-old girl was seen trying to avoid the thug in East Harlem as he pushed her, harassed her, and assaulted her. The 14-year-old thug was later arrested and charged with assault. The girl was sent to the hospital. She suffered a concussion and is in stable condition. Never let this freak out of prison.

Don’t know who this soccer player is but the AI bought it for $22.80 on Sunday and I sold it for $32.90 net. Good example of how the AI (with the right data) can determine a cheap market value on cards with no real comps given it was /15 and in a SGC holder.

@itsgeoffwilson They should. They won’t. But they should. Cut out 20-50% of breaker allocation to public. At least till the boom ends. Give us little people a shot. All products should be within 10% of MSRP at launch for 3 months. Then do what you want.

What you're upset about here isn't the issue. Topps wholesaling their product cheaper to shops on wave 2 and beyond doesn't mean that savings will be passed along to the consumer. Shops will price at market value and keep the additional markup. Rather, IMO, Topps should make more wave 1 product available to shops with shops having to pledge they will resell at a set consumer-friendly MSRP, and the shops should remove the seal from the boxes at time of sale to prevent flipping. Topps should also make more retail product available to shops under the same premise. This, IMO, is the best way to ensure collectors have a fair shot at getting reasonably priced boxes.

For LCS owners who are with Topps, answer me this. Topps said at the industry summit they were against high priced boxes. Then they re-offer Chrome Football to you guys for around $1125 or so. Do you have an issue with this? @CardPurchaser

@MarshallGreen_ Do you not understand that contracts are not guaranteed. Giants can cut him tomorrow for no money. His guarantees are done. So saying he signed the deal isn’t fair. The giants don’t have to hold their end of the deal. Why do the players? He should renegotiate more guaranteed

@itsgeoffwilson @SportsCardRadio Everyone sounds so surprised that a giant company doesn’t give a shit about the consume and tries to make as much money as possible. They don’t care who gets the product. They care how much money they can make off it. Has been always will be. It’s too bad. Except geoff. (Idiot)

@SportsCardRadio As normal, you have no idea what you are talking about. No one is surprised that your card shop failed, but many other card shop owners have a great experiences building successful businesses.

I was aware of this before fanatics took over, both at the company level and at the distribution (Peach State, GTS, Southern Hobby). Back in the day it was about $10k got you direct. But the underlying problem isn’t Topps, or the employees, it’s the business of modern wax. When it’s hot - you can make money but it’s hard to get. When it’s ice cold (bad RC class, downturn) you can get it but can’t make money. Sure, a handful of breakers and shops will build a good business in that environment but chances are it won’t be you. So as a businessman you have to adapt. I’ve been to all these conferences (Topps, Industry Summit, etc), I’ve had a shop, I’ve had allocation, it’s really hard work and you don’t make that much money. If it’s not about the money, then you let the Tom Brady’s and big breakers do their thing and you carve out a niche. If it’s about getting rich, get the hell out of cards and focus on stuff that is way bigger. Video games, board games, toys, Legos, books, crafts. Flipping tickets, car parts, tools, something else. At the end of the day, owning a shop is not special, not very valuable, and you get paid accordingly. I learned this when I was 23 - unfortunate many of these guys are 40++ but never too late to pivot.

@myopinionsright @CardPurchaser Worst company in sports cards. They and @SCCTradingCards have most allocation and manipulate the market. They charge highest possible then have fake “sales” where consumer thinks they get a deal. They don’t. They make money and hold product hostage. Horrible.
