Don't you hate it when...

You pull a card you think may have a high book value or at least sell half way decently. I do, I will not lie i have not been keeping up with hockey the past few months, as much as id like too anyway. Well today i buy a few packs of ud series 2 hoping to pull a yg or something cool. Well i got something cool. But it's of the Dallas stars. (I am NOT A DALLAS STARS FAN AT ALL. Actually i can't stand them.)

So i pulled a 2008 ud series 2 Mark Fistric Rookie play makers jumbo jersey /100. I was happy enough for only spending 13 bucks at the shop. but then i go home and lo onto ebay and notice it sells poorly, like wont sell for 99 cents poorly. But at least i got hit, im not trying to complain but just kinda feel let down. I think it is like, missing one number on a lottery ticket... no millions of dollars but a hundred grand aint bad either. Anything similar happen to anyone else, or am i alone and delusional?

Oh yeah, happens almost every break for me - pulled a 1st round draft pick (NBA) RC #d/50 - thought it'd be worth lots - I was sorely disappointed to find it's worth less than $10 - so, I am holding onto it, hoping that he becomes at least a semistar, considering it won't go much lower in value...lol

THat's been happening in all the football products. All the rookies GUs have become cheapened severely. Even when I pull a star rc GU, i'm surprised to find out it's only $6-8.

It aggravates me when the value of the cards I pull in a high price pack dont match up with what I paid for it

defiantly, I am a lower end collector so i don't buy many packs for more than 10 bucks. But i don't like most products like Absolute, because they are a quick thrill, (which i don't like much) and the value isn't as high as i could be because it's a "guarantee" product. but after all this is like gambling or the stock market so we have to play the cards we are dealt. but that's in my opinion.

I'm there with you stainless,Once pulled an xfractor of brandon roy numbered out of 50 figured at least 25 bucks,Nope a whopping 8.00 high bv.Like you I also don't buy high end that much I don't like the high risk high reward scenario.Usually it's high risk high letdown.Take care Steve

happened to me a few days ago, bought a box of 08/09 bowman draft pick & stars box and pulled a Draft day issue relic combos autograph of D.J. Augustin #'d to 75..thought it was actually worth a good $30-$40 but found out when i got home that it only goes for $15..

I bet you all love it though when you need/want to buy a low-numbered single!

I pulled a malkin exclusive, thought ok maybe I'll get $30-40 nope the sell for less then $20 and even $10, still will get at least double I paid for the pack but I wanted more.
