@CardsMax I miss the days of getting my whole table bought out by a repacker

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@saltyposaune American high school football is like second tier European soccer. So yeah. Especially in places like Texas. AAAAA high school football facilities are probably better than some EFL championship facilities

@ALTPEPEEEEEEE My value tier order was due July 1st. Still in grading 5 weeks overdue so far.

@OTP_Rips @CardPurchaser Smart Americans even do this to save on taxes

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@OTP_Rips @CardPurchaser International buyers use a reshipper. Delaware is a common location because they don’t do sales tax. So they have their cards shipped there.

Once they get enough inventory they have the shipper combine them all and send them one package. This saves them tons of money.

@DubMentality You ship FedEx with insurance.

Honestly eBay is fine. Since you don’t know people you might consider a consignment shop that can sell for you.

If it’s a giant card then an auction house. Problem is it’ll take months to get money.

@HankBobbyDale @CardPurchaser Usually it means it’s not the favorite rookie. It’s from a limited release set that most people don’t care about. The person selling the card is trying to point out this limited set was first. Very common in soccer where a first card might actually be a sticker for example.

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

Dear @GoldinCo . 5 months from delivery before you list my item for sale. Now it’s 10 days after auction close and you’re still awaiting payment. I cannot imagine a world in which I would ever use your service again. Your service is horrible.

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

Dear @PSAcard if you miss your own deadlines you should refund us some of the grading fee.

@nobleisawinner They hung on a cuckoo clock

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@PSAcard You mean Beckett.

@SkylarSkye3 Over 100,000 fans in a college football stadium? Yeah it’s bigger than European football.

But it’s only one country.

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@SkylarSkye3 The UK is a third world country

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@YanitedBruno Our local mls club has at least two snipers on the roof every match. Without anyone famous being at the game.

Just cost of providing safety in a country everyone wants to terrorize

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@FootballFunnnys The rule says since the ball was touched by his own teammate before it hit his arm it isn’t a penalty

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@bwfast MLS isn’t ignored. It’s literally attended by more people than most us sports.

Tv wise they did a pay to watch thing on Apple TV so they could afford to bring Messi to usa. I don’t think that was a good idea.

Also many of us prefer European soccer to mls. So there’s that.

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@arberx_ No sir. Our kids want to be influencers.

1. Job for kids is to be an influencer.

THAT is the probem

@driseborough Since when is a World Cup not full of corruption and cheating?!

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@RicEllisCards So who is your next pick?

[Ben - SoccerCards.Net @SoccerCardsNet]

@Peter_Bukowski The women don’t kick ass any more. Other countries have caught up and passed us.
There’s very little new talent coming into the squad, and the top players are retiring
