Description
This 2022 Topps F1 Racing trading card features the talented driver Cem Bolukbasi from the Charouz Racing System team. The card is a limited edition parallel Fuschia variety, with only 150 printed for this year's set. As a sports trading card, it is serial numbered and considered a short print. The card is perfect for collectors of sports memorabilia, especially those who follow the exciting world of auto racing. The card size is standard, and it belongs to the Formula 2 league. This 96th card of the 2022 season is manufactured by Topps, a reputable company known for producing high-quality trading cards. Pictures: Any scratches, blemishes, or white flecks (top loader’s static attracts everything!) seen in pictures are on the top loader, sleeve or case. I don’t bother listing anything that isn’t in near perfect condition. I take super close pictures in natural light with my camera, or scan it on my scanner; both of which will pick up scratches/blemishes on the case. I am happy to provide more pictures of the card itself outside of it’s case, however I won’t break a seal to do so (Hit Parade, Topps Pristine, Leaf, etc). Any questions, let me know. Offers: Look, I get trying to low-ball to start the negotiation process. I do. However, my “day job” is data and analytics. I’m not perfect by any means, but I research each and every card before listing. I look at current buy-it-now listings, auctions, completed sales, other website sales, etc. I price my cards competitively and based on data, not feelings. I get a lot of super low offers that I get to explain how I came to my price and why it’s fair. Again, I’m not perfect, and I’m not saying I won’t accept offers, but before you send an offer, ask yourself…”would I sell this card for this”? If the answer is no, please reconsider your offer to be fair and data based. If you are a card shop looking to buy my card(s) for cheap to turn a profit, I get it. Then again, ask yourself…how would you if you received the offer you are about to make to me? I’m not trying to get rich. Just trying to have some fun and sustain an inflow of sales so I can buy more cards to sell. My kids and I are doing this as a hobby (having a blast!), which of course I’m trying to make the most of while they are still around and willing to hang with me! Bottom line, let’s not waste each other’s time with back and forth of offers we both know are unreasonable. Shipping: Let’s talk shipping. It stinks. It costs a lot, no way around it. However, it’s a necessary evil to deliver exactly what you want to you directly. Think of it as a convenience fee for someone pulling a card you want and getting it right to you. I don’t add any surcharges for any of the shipping materials, sleeves, top loaders, magnet cases, etc. My general “rule” is I will ship any card $39.99 or more in a magnet case. Anything less goes into a sleeve and top loader and is wrapped in multiple layers of protection. I also will combine orders and offer free shipping for any total order of over $100. I also try and remember to set free shipping for any buy-it-now listings of over $100. If I miss marking it as free shipping, let me know and I will change before you purchase! I know it’s tempting to go for the free shipping options, but I’ve had multiple experience where free shipping of a $100+ card was thrown in an envelope with a regular stamp. I generally get to the post office once a day, so chances are your shipment could be out the same day, or at worst the next. I have it marked three days handling just in case something happens.
