Almost breaking even

I don't buy cards for the sole purpose of hitting the big card I can sell for a profit anymore. I tried that for 4 years once and ended up with $25K in credit card debt.

That doesn't mean I'm averse to pulling something I can make a little money on if the opportunity is there.

I checks the completed listings on EBay for Byron Buxton Bowman Platinum refractor autos and posted the one I pulled as soon as I could.

I have to say I'm happy that the auction will just about pay for all the BP that I bought. Yes, I realize I bought too much. Getting a Puig base card and the Buxton auto in the first two packs I opened was like winning the lottery the first time you play. I had to play again and again.

Now where is my Gint-a-Cuff box?

    It's a great success to break even on a box of cards. This hobby isn't really well known for it's ROI.

    Awesome! Gotta love it when one card from your box pays for all of the other cards. Congratulations.
