Ticket Stub Flipper Gets Crushed

[Snapolit1]

Feel like we are entering an era where there will be some mild rejoicing and good humor value in watching people got their ass handed to them on a silver platter. I will avoid the temptation, however tempting, to rejoice in this stuff. Who knows who is a flipper. Maybe it's a dude whose marriage just fell apart or a family member who just got sick and all of a sudden a recent purchase doesn't look so smart. Most likely a super rich person who isn't feeling any pain at all, but who knows.

What were those idiotic "moments" people were buying for thousands, now their isnt even anyone on the site?

Just the start of it, and I will be buying when we see substantial drops!

Judging from a recent auction, almost all the cards I researched had been bought on ebay less than a year prior. Pretty silly move, but prices only go up right?

Flippers are in for a rough ride in coming months, I'm afraid.

Not shedding any tears for them, haha.

Good take... I 'll never understand the anger toward collectors who approach the hobby ethically but different from vintage collectors. Odd to see anyone "enjoy" watching flippers lose money, or new hobbyists get discouraged because of a big decline in value of the ne, shiny stuff.

I'll bet most us started with our own "new, shiny stuff" when we first started collecting - eventually, we discovered how cool and interesting vintage can be.

Maybe we can ease up a little...
