I noticed today while looking at my eTopps portfolio that starting in 2012 their shipping rates are being increased. To see that shipping rates are going up doesn't surprise me, especially when rates haven't been touched in a few years. What caught my eye was they are discontinuing the use of Performance Points to pay for shipping. Currently one point = $1. I've got 20+ points left and there is nothing in their Rewards catalog I care for so I plan to ship just about everything in my portfolio minus the few current cards I have like Cam Newton and Tim Tebow.So if you too have older cards sitting there and you want to take advantage of the current shipping rates or use Performance Points to pay for your shipping you might want to act now!
Thanks colbey I'm on it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhew, Thanks again Colbey I just posted about this too, and I ended up shipping my whole Portfolio that was available 222 cards. I had a crap ton of Rewards Points so I might as well take advantage of them while I can still defer the cost. Believe it or not you saved me over 200 bucks in shipping costs.
ReplyDeleteYou had over 222 cards in your portfolio? Wow! I knew there must've been a reason so many eTopps saved eBay searches were coming up w/ matches lately. Everyone is either selling their cards from their portfolio or having them shipped. Is the eTopps ship sinking?
ReplyDeleteMaybe. They use to offer 4 cards a week now it's down to 2? Don't tell me they're aren't enough good rookies and Vets to sell. I went a little crazy in 2005 picking up a ton of cards. I cringe to think how much I spent and how much they're worth now. But your post pushed me to ship them all basically because their shipping is such a joke so if I can get all those shiny cards in my hands for free, at least no more out of pocket money, why not? I think I've got 7 cards still in there unavailable right now, but I have a feeling I'm probably done with eTopps prospecting. I'll probably still try to pick up players I like and from the teams I collect.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Just used points to have everything that I wanted which was available shipped to me. I forgot some of it was there since I barely pay attention to eTopps these days.
