eBay Faces Feedback from Collectors Over New Selling Policies

eBay’s recent changes to its selling policies have prompted some backlash from collectors. Many feel that the new requirements, such as offering free shipping and providing 30-day returns, are burdensome and may lead to increased costs for sellers. Some collectors have taken to social media to voice their concerns and are hoping that eBay will listen to their feedback.

69-Year-Old Wax Box Receives a New Wrapper and Owner

In a remarkable discovery, a 69-year-old wax box of trading cards was found with a brand new wrapper. The box, which contained vintage cards from 1952, was recently sold at auction to a lucky collector. It’s a rare find that highlights the enduring appeal of trading cards and the excitement they can bring to collectors, even after all these years.

Some top cards were pulled at the National, including highly sought-after Topps Chrome releases. Collectors were thrilled to find these high-quality cards in their packs, making their trip to the convention even more memorable.

A post-show break yielded a valuable card for one lucky collector. A rare card featuring a beloved athlete, Kevin Love, was discovered during a pack opening session after the convention. The excitement and thrill of finding such a valuable card is what makes the trading card hobby so enjoyable for collectors.
