For me the delays in getting new stuff processed are hurting them more than anything else. Inventory isn't being added and it's increasingly just people looking to flip stuff that's been on there for months or years.

Only had 2 cards, Francisco Lindor and Manny Machado, but I picked yesterday, and lo and behold Machado homered twice. So I guess I’m waiting on whatever card they give me to be delivered. I would love to add some cards to my cart on COMC. Perhaps in a few weeks when I get some more PayPal money. I just can’t get excited about them because the 3, 4, 5 month delivery time, while certainly understandable, it is still a long time.

I am still waiting on 8 Topps Project 2020 cards.

I'm not waiting for anything from either Topps or COMC. I'm done with COMC. Price too high, shipping prices to high. And the delays. Sportlots and ebay for me, mostly. I did get a Topps Turn Back the Clock (off ebay). The turn around time from release/purchase to my receiving it---after it was first sent to the seller---was under 2 weeks. I think that's impressive. Julie is so awesome. Great cards.

I also saw him walking around in a suit at Dodger Stadium in August 2014 and took a picture with him. He was very nice, too.<br /><br />As for waiting on shipments, I have 97 cards ordered from COMC but haven't requested shipment yet. I'll likely order a bunch more cards before requesting shipment.bbcardzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290656676306029566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-7343124203436475912020-08-10T12:53:38.538-07:002020-08-10T12:53:38.538-07:00Love those Decades bat cards!
