Running to the Rip

Did He Actually Rip This ETB?! 🤔📦

A collector and his mom stopped by the table today on the hunt for a Pitch Black ETB! 📦⚡️

He liked the box, but asked if we had any room to work on the price. We hit him with a deal: "If you’re ripping this open, we’ll give you the discount!" 🤝💰

He said he was tearing into those packs at home. But once a sealed box leaves the table... you never truly know! 👀📦

If you tell a vendor you’re going to rip a box for a discount, are you actually opening it, or is it sitting sealed on your shelf forever? Drop your take below! 👇📦

Teaching Them How To Pick Gem Mint Cards! 🔍

A collector and his kids stopped by the table looking for a specific card. Since we had about 20 copies in stock, I asked the kids if they knew how to select the cleanest one out of the batch. 📦👀

When they said they didn't know how, we flipped the cards over and spent a few minutes breaking down what to look for on the back.

This Aquapolis Deck Used To Be $10! 😱🏷️📦

A collector stopped by the booth on the hunt for some Aquapolis sealed product. At first, he was eyeing our booster pack asking if they were heavy, but then his attention shifted to a clean Aquapolis Theme Deck! 🔥

We worked out a deal and agreed on a price, but right after we locked it in, he flipped the box over and spotted something insane. An original $10 retail sticker from over 20 years ago! 🏷️🤯

If you could go back in time with $100 and buy ANY vintage sealed item off the shelf at original retail, what are you clearing out? Drop your picks below! 👇📦
