I finally gave in...

Over the summer, it seemed like every other cardboard blogger documented their Listia success stories on their blogs... except of course... me.

I actually opened my account over eight months ago, but didn't do anything with it until I stumbled across SpastikMooss' recent Listia purchase: a 2000 Quantum Leaf rookie card of Tom Brady.

His post inspired me to head over to the site to see what I was missing. One thing lead to another and I began doing whatever I could to earn credits. Pretty soon I had tripled my savings and eventually won my first auction:

It's a 1991 Maxx Winston Cup 20th Anniversary foil set which consists of 21 cards and features Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, Dale Earnhardt, and several other NASCAR drivers.

This set is a perfect example of "jumping the gun". I was so excited to win an auction, I ended up winning an auction involving a sport I don't really follow. Oh well... I assure you I have no "buyer's remorse". It's a good looking set that will be thrown into a box and forgotten within a week or so.


SpastikMooss ended up giving me a few Listia tips and one of them was to create my first auction, because they'll reward you with 500 credits regardless if your auctions sells. So, I decided to post this 1980 Dodgers TCMA card of Don Drysdale:

As you can see, I set the opening bid at the ridiculous price of 1,959 credits. Why? Well... essentially, I'm not interested in getting rid of this card, but I wanted the free 500 credits.


Thanks Spastik! Or do you prefer Mr. Mooss? You've officially got me hooked on Listia.

Anyone else out there on Listia? What are your thoughts?

Happy Sunday and sayonara!

This is very hilarious, as SpastikMooss put me on to Listia as well and gave me the tip to list my first auction lol. Right now just building my credits by auctioning off base cards 1 at a time via PWE, and I'm getting in quite a bit of credit. My only auction victory so far was a Dez Bryant GU for 15 credits.

Love the base cards shipped in a PWE idea. I actually haven't done anything with Listia since that set purchase. Maybe I'll post some cards today.
