RT if you used both sides of the binder page in the early 90's

@cwbreaks @USPS In my experience that envelope is non-machinable and needs to have postage that reflects as such

Imagine what’s possible now but unnumbered Kabooms are seen as special.

@BlueTigerX_ His 1st card is from 2025 Topps Now

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

His body is literally spelling P-C-A

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

[Midwest Box Breaks @midwestboxbreak]

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@hawkeye_anf @BwittJr @Topps @Royals @ChinookSeedery @QuikTrip maybe they stamp them AFTER the fact?

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@MysticTyphoon expensive and bottom line won out (would be my guess)

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

This was the last true innovation in trading cards, don't let anyone tell you different

[Fanatics Collect @Collect]

In 2011, Panini released a rechargeable Kobe Bryant trading card with a built-in screen and speaker.

Only 51 copies were made, each containing a 19-minute video featuring exclusive interview footage and career highlights.

@wyldpitches tba - but knowing you are into that, i might hit you up once the next big reveal happens ;-)

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

OK, this is 50% Claude analysis, so if there is anything wrong or missing PLEASE help fill in the gaps, but top-level this is what my research the past hour into Topps First Day Issue drops so far shows for secondary market

...trust me though, you want to read more ⤵️

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@CardPhilthy pretty sure it's because of how few exist, and that they never went deeper with it. I remember the promo cards for it in football but don't recall ever seeing this level of video

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@wyldpitches oh yeah i use it for ALL my listing now on every site

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@BuckCityAdam when my old one dies lol

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@wyldpitches if you have any comps from elsewhere, i'd love to see em!

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@MKBHD hey MKB when are we getting TRADING CARDS for this sport?!

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

Final thing worth sitting with 🧠

Every one of these auctions CLEARED

Chrome Basketball, Finest, Motif, Cosmic, UEFA, Bowman FB today

Topps got paid at every single rung of every single ladder

The Dutch auction isn't price discovery for us. It's price discovery for THEM

We're paying to be their market research, and anybody who bought above the floor means more to them than where the Secondary Market settles

Nothing will ever 10x the Hobby like a well-designed checkout flow 😅

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

(my 7% is below the nationwide-average too, so your number could easily be higher if you are part of the 60mil people living in NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas etc)

[The Breaks @WatchTheBreaks]

@wyldpitches yeah, unfortunately, this is what happens when multitasking lol
