Suggestion for the new TCG Store donations

[dmrevell]

I know there is something to be said for beggars can't be choosers, but looking through the CP store, there is a lot of really low end stuff in there... and quite a bit of it that has been there forever. So here's a thought, and feel free to tell me I'm an idiot and should shut up if you don't agree...

Maybe donations to the new TCG store should need to be #'d, auto'd, GU or vintage. It's not that I don't appreciate base RCs and unnumbered inserts, but how many people are gonna see a Ben Obomanu Topps RC or a Derrick Mason Ultra Gold Medallion and think "oooh, I'd love to get my hands on that!"

The stuff in the store should be somewhat special, and that people truly want.

Also, can the new inventory system not list all the cards that have already been sold? It's kinda of a bummer to see something in there and go "oooh!" and then notice someone beat you to it.

I just bought the Obomanu Topps Chrome RC because I was like, ooh, I wanna get my hands on that!:mad:

Great ideas!~! I completely agree. Was just looking today and saw several low end cards of guys i collect and wasnt really tempted to pick it up, just because of what I could get for the same points.

Not saying this to pick on Brian as he does an excellent job with the CP store but as constructive criticism.

Shut up Idiot :cool: But nice idea ;)

Only if they are "somewhat special" eggs and not any of that "really low end stuff" :rolleyes:

I always liked the selection in there. I don't think anyone is going to make a huge habit out of buying stuff from the store. It's something that you can check in on every once in a great while and maybe grab something. I would say it's not worth a major effort on the part of the mods/programmers to make sweeping improvements, but that's just me

Until someone buys that auto'd mini helmet I got for the store I'm not responding...

I agree while I never bought anything that I can remember however I did send some stuff and I made sure it was worthwhile(#'d,decent player,RC,auto whatever) for someone to actually want.

Not saying that anyone sent worse or better , just saying. A lot of that stuff should just be donated to a hospital or the local P.A.L. Which reminds me , gotta post in another thread.:D

I almost did, but then I saw it was an Arizona helmet.

Actually, I think what Zeeck should do (or whomever) is take regular inserts, rookies, etc and make grab bag lots out of them. Then just list them as lots of 10, 50, 100, what have you.

I think someone did buy it. I've got a Ricky Williams bobblehead floating around somewhere, maybe that can be the new big ticket item no one ever wants!

i like the idea of packing the low end stuff together as a 'random' lot and have where like 1/10 random lots contains a 'hit' card, some random low end auto/jsy that isnt listed in the store...

i have taken some stuff out of the store, but i have also donated, i know that migraine made several bulk donations of 'decent' cards gu/auto...i like the store concept myself, and so long as someone isnt donating 1988 topps baseball or 1991 score we should be happy that just by being part of a website you can get free stuff...

That is a REALLY good idea and would probably get some of the stuff moved. And yes getting free stuff for being a member is cool too :salut:

Charge a $1 annual membership fee. There are already 122 registered members, that could buy 1-2 boxes so you could offer packs or buy a couple of good autos.

I tried to buy the helmet, but it said it was sold. :mad:
