Trading in the shiny stuff to fund your post war addiction

You can't buy directly from Topps, Upperdeck or Donruss (Playoff and Leaf included) without a Brick 'n Mortor Sports card store. I do know there are folks buying cases of new stuff from distributors like blowoutcards.com, they bust the cases, and flip the cards on eBay. It's a crap shoot because some cases make money and some don't what your looking for is a major hit from your case (Autographed/Game Used patch of a HOT Rookie) or something like that to make most of your case money back..

My understanding is Topps is the BEST product to buy and flip, Upperdeck is the worst... but of course each product is unique and you just never know what will make money until you buy and try to sell. The key on selling NEW stuff on ebay is hitting ebay FIRST.. you can't wait for a week or two after a product is already released and expect to make a lot of money...
