Hey so about all that basketball stuff I said earlier... 😬

I agree. 0 scan cases are more rare, but any system that gives a dishonest buyer the green light to steal from someone isn't something I'll be rushing to implement. If the buyer sees their order arrived with no scans, a quick message to support is all it takes for free cards. And this already happens more than you think. Several orders buyers claim "never arrived" show destination or out for delivery scans on TCGtracking

Could I see more pics of the stained glass birds?

Really not much of a fan of TCGPlayer's tracked envelope solution. Yes, it is a step in the right direction, but I foresee it causing quite a bit of confusion and friction between buyers and sellers
First off, its only available via a packing slip meant for use with a windowed envelope. I don't use windowed envelopes. The ink, paper, and envelopes themselves are expensive compared to other options. Not to mention the added time each order would take to package folding and aligning the slip instead of peeling and sticking a 4x6 label as I do now. A better solution would have been allowing sellers to print the barcode in the way that works for them. Including an option to buy the postage direct from our seller funds
Second, not all orders will qualify for tracked envelopes. The email mentions specifically verified addresses. If you sell online in any kind of decently large capacity, you'll know that a shocking number of people don't know where they live. Or they will configure the address incorrectly such as putting Apt number before their street address. If they market this feature heavily to buyers, they will expect it to apply to their order. And believe me when I say it is not easy to convince someone that they wrote their address wrong. I've dealt with it many times
In a similar vein, since buyers will begin to expect the tracking, they will follow it closely for updates. We all know how unreliable envelope tracking can be if you ever bought or sold using ebay standard envelope. Yes, you as the seller will be protected as long as the order shows at least 1 scan. However, sometimes even that is too much to ask though. I do not like that my seller protections hinge on USPS doing their job correctly. And in the event that updates are slow or non-existent, communication with the buyer about why the delay is happening won't be easy. Most people don't understand the system and will interpret your explanation as an excuse. I've experienced this many times while giving TCGtracking updates to buyers. I hope a system will be in place to have official communication from TCGP if a buyer has over the top concerns
I'm very much looking forward to discussing this in more detail with my rep next week. Its a good first step. Hopefully not the only one

This is the kind of bets in talking about. Super small, low stakes, low stress. These are the 2 games on TV tonight so the way I look at it is: would I pay $2 per game to make them more exciting to watch and give me something to root for? Absolutely

Been having some fun with small bets on ML NBA parlays myself as well. Barely know anything about basketball but my brother is a big fan. He's always talking up the Wolves and 76ers. Not advice by any means but noticed the Pistons play the Knicks tonight. Detroit is hot (3-0) and NY is not (0-3) 🤷♂️
Finally gave in and picked up a set of these Yugioh manga cards. Really glad I went with the color version over the monochrome. They look awesome!
