Basketball 2 Pack Bust, Show Pickups, a Mailday and a RANT!

First off, the rant I have. I don't like telling guys how to raise their kid, but this guy was wrong IMO. I love teenage kids who collect, I like hooking them up when I get the chance. I remember when I was one, and always wished I got helped out sometimes.

Anyways, I watched this 13-14 year old kid bust a box of trilogy and lose his butt. So we decided to do some dealing, and he wanted my 07/08 SPX Vince Carter Flashback Fabric Auto /25. I told him since you just got robbed, I'll give you a great deal. 20 bucks and it is yours.

He bought it. I wasn't worried about the money I lost on the card. However he had a Kevin Garnett Trilogy Jersey /50 I wanted. It booked 15 dollars. I asked what he wanted for it, and he said 15 dollars. I said, since I gave you such a great deal on that Carter, will you do 5 bucks? That's when his dad stepped in, and said the best he can do is 15 dollars. He watched the entire situation, watched how I hooked up his son, then still did that crap. I just said thank you and walked away.

I didn't have a lot of time to dig through boxes, but these are some of the deals I found. I wish I had more time, but I had a friend with me who is leaving the Marine Corps in 2 weeks, and he wasn't pro cards, as I am.

Some awesome cards there :D

Yeah I remember the days when I was a teenager and everything was sold/bought for full book lol
Mostly buying on my behalf *sheesh*

That story didn't sound nice but maybe his dad wasn't into cards and didn't realise the act of kindness you showed his son?

Never mind mate - Super nice mailday there!
 
wow awsome cards and deals! and that kid will keep that card forever if he wants $15 for a card that books $15 lol
 
Pretty slack on the dads part I must say.
But that Josh Smith must take away some of the pain because its a beauty.
Nice Stuckey auto as well.
 
Yes, The Josh Smith is more rare then the Photoshoot. Very nice INDEED.

Those black marks at the top of the card, is actually marks on my scanner.
