18 bx 2009 Triple Threads BB break

TimC · 10-21-2009, 09:03 PM

Some hits, some misses ... fun break as usual .. but certainly not a money maker, as expected. Lotsa Yankees (arod auto, matsui, munson, 2 cano autos, 2 joba autos, etc) .. that helps .. 2 whales (joba,podres), 2 triple auto/mems (yankees and 2nd basemen), 1 book (w/ arod, longoria, boggs, etc.). All on Ebay for 1 day. The Jin Young Lee WBC patch is interesting.

You got a lot of nice stuff! Cool that you got an extra case hit with the two 1/1 cards.

Also, I can't remember if it was like this last year, but are your /525 base identical to the /99 ones? Other than the serial numbers obviously. I got a Carlos Quentin /99 and /525 back to back and they look to be the same to me.

Yes, the gold and sepia parallels look alike .. they used to be more distinguishable than they are now .. no additional case hit .. you get one in each 9 box case.

mightbe · 10-21-2009, 09:23 PM

Wait...didn't notice you got two triple autos as well. Last year it was a triple auto and 1/1 per 18 box case.

TimC · 10-21-2009, 09:41 PM

Yep .. looks like most breaks are producing a triple auto and a 1/1 in each 9-box case.

Except mine of course...still can't complain though!

WaxDestroyer · 10-21-2009, 10:54 PM

Yankees triple auto is nice

iamjoecollector · 10-21-2009, 10:55 PM

$2400 worth of TTT? Yikes. Good luck with that.

cdub6238 · 10-22-2009, 12:11 AM

i dont know much about re-sale on these cards but i find it hard to believe you wont at least make your money back...

book w/A-rod, Joba parallel auto, 1/1 Sabbathia auto, Manny auto, Howard auto, 2 3x auots (1 all yankee w/ A-rod), Yaz auto...not 2 mention Hanson, Zimmerman, Hamilton and another 1/1 auto...

if you lose money it shouldnt be by much

mightbe · 10-22-2009, 02:07 AM

I'm wondering if they cut down on booklet cards this year. I looked back and last year 2 18 box cases gave me 8 booklets...not really a bad thing given some of them, but they don't seem to be popping up in breaks so far.

I thought it was one per 9-bx case last year 'on average'. In any case, they are a little more scarce this year.

iamjoecollector · 10-23-2009, 01:22 AM

So far on the OP's ended ebay auctions on these he has sold $1466.62 or $44.44 per hit average. That is 33 hits and no base cards. I take no joy in pointing out the obvious, but that is a huge loss. I feel bad for the guy.
He has 3 hits and his base currently listed. None are huge.

fiskaaron · 10-23-2009, 06:23 AM

Pretty nice stuff overall. Great time to pull a Yankee combo and the A-Rod auto is one of his nicer signed cards (stickers

) I just did pretty well selling a Jeter/Yogi dual auto.

dustyshelf · 10-23-2009, 08:12 AM

You don't buy Triple Threads to make a return

HoustonCollectr · 10-23-2009, 09:37 AM

Did you get any AStros or Nolan Ryan base cards?

iamjoecollector · 10-23-2009, 11:07 AM

Well this guy tried... and I see that a lot on these boards but people always try because of the hype behind these products.

im not going to argue whether he lost money/made money

first, we dont know how much he paid...yeah Blowout has it at $2400 now, but what if he got a pre-sale, from some other source (LCS, or online), or ifhe got it straight from distributor-which would mean even cheaper..

but for arguments sake...

profit after sales: $1550 or so
cost: $2400
1550/2400=64.58% return

granted he didnt make a profit..but since when is a 65% return bad?

i think the main problem people see is well it cost $2400..whats the difference between that than say a return of $500/$525 ona $800 product? i think manymany people would be happy with a 65% return on any product

that said i am surprised at some of the low values on some...

maybe he mightve waited lil longer, til actual WS started or was over on the Yankees/Phils cards..mightve gotten lil more depending on outcome

philphil731 · 10-23-2009, 03:27 PM

interested in utley patch card..PM me price

iamjoecollector · 10-23-2009, 05:43 PM

A 65% return is always bad. Seriously? Did you read what you posted? Don't forget eBay and paypal fees. Shoot, if that's the way you feel about it then everytime you feel like dropping cash on a case like this, just send me $1000 instead and I'll send you pics of me in Hawaii.

cdub6238 · 10-23-2009, 06:15 PM

first of all yes i know exactly what i typed

second of all have you ever busted a case for re-sale? if not how do you even know what your talking about, or you just talking out of ur ass...

paypal and ebay fees..yes i did consider these...did u also consider the 3.50 for shipping per item he charges?

lets see..Ebay fees-.15 insertion fee..., 2.15 for the first $25 and about an additional $1 for everything over $25 for final value fees..

so by my count that was half and half...so $41.50+$64.00=$101.50
$126.00 for shipping -about $102(estimate)for Ebay fees..=$24 left over right?

and what is it $1.50 for shipping, unless he uses DC (or discounts through paypal) and thats another $55..ok so hes out $30 plus paypal fees...

like $100 makes a difference? $1450/$2400 is still a 60% return rate...no its not great but name me 1 product you can bust 1 case and make a guarantee profit or do much better than 60% return..1 CASE..

and again thats not even consideringl ike i said what price he got the casefor in the first place...BO has it at @$2400..who said he
got itform them, or not on pre-sale or from distributor...

how bout you do some more research before you come like that again

iamjoecollector · 10-23-2009, 07:02 PM

Now you sound like a defensive choad. I have busted many many cases. I'm also smart enough to know that TTT is a crap product on the box level. There is no product where you are guaranteed a profit, but there quite a few in line before TTT. If you follow the thread I stated early on and so did the OP that he was going to lose on this case and not just a little. The results speak for themselves.

There is no way to defend a 40% loss on a product. Keep drinking the kook aide buddy. If this was the norm, people wouldn't try to bust and flip.

Btw, what research are you talking about. I did enough to know what everything sold for. You are making a lot of assumptions and desperately trying to defend this break. Why is that?

cdub6238 · 10-23-2009, 07:54 PM

ok mr case breaker of infinite wisdom..

where did i say TTT was a good break for profit? he obviously knew what he was getting into..

secondly, i said i was wrong and surprised by some of the low values on some (A-Rod Book, Howard Aut-$75 really??, and the two plates i thought were at least $100 each)

i am not defensive, you are the one that "attacked" me with all your did you think Ebay fees,Paypal etc...so yes i broke it down for you and i see you have no comment??

since youve broken many many cases over the years, why dont
you name me a few products from the past say 3 years-not just limited to baseball- that has yielded you what is acceptable in ur eyes, 70%-75% of your money back...and im not talking about any Bowman product for prospectors as thats a whole different story...and just with 1 case as the odds go up with each case after

im not saying saying he should be extremely happy, but in my view yes anytime u can get at least 60-70%id call that a win...barring any "huge" hit its hard to make much of any profit, but isnt that why we do it for the thrill of the "big hit andbig money"?

i busted 2 cases of earlier football products this year (2009 Prestige and 2009 Donruss Elite). Both are on the cheaper side of cases (about $900), and i came away with about $550-$600 return on both..whats so different between mybreaks andhis, other than he spent more money..

sorry to original poster for getting off topic..sometimes big breaks and nice hits dont eqaul big sale value..becausei think u had somevery nice hits
