Vertu Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks for all your kind words. Well, i am planning a card convention to be held sometime this year or early next year here in Manila. I know this has been done before, a few years back. But i am trying to contact collectors and hobbyist from all over Asia to come over and showcase what they have. I'm talking to my supplier as well if they could sell items during the convention. It's a dream of mine to have a real card convention to be held here in our country. Di naman tayo dukha and 3rd world as some US collectors perceive us to be. Revi and i will continue to show parts of what i have collected over the years. Di sa nagyayabang but for all to enjoy. Yup, i've pulled all of them out of packs but i did buy 2 or 3 cards for my collection. I seldom go to our stores in greenhills and mega but i do pass by galle from time to time. Hope to meet you fellow collectors. Quote Link to comment

pau_gasol Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 may spx na ba sa megamall or gh? Quote Link to comment
clydedrexler Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yes! Card convention in our very own Republic of the Philippines!!! Hope it'll push through Vertu. It would be great to have funs and raffles as well. If your suppliers can do that it can really add to the festivities. Let's bring it on!!! Quote Link to comment
clydedrexler Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Thanks Revi! Vertu, I don't know how is this possible but I know that you're opening cases and I hope you can help us with our collections as well. Whether tough to pull memorabilias or simply just ordinary cards that can help our collections it would greatly be appreciated.I can't help think that others who are in the buying and selling trade often get to have first access on those cards before we do. I know it would be a great hassle for you to even be taking care of this stuff because I know you have other people doing that. But hope we could find a great way to help serious collectors have access to your cards. It would definitely help our pockets as well if we can cut down on those few bucks added by the sellers. Thanks Edited February 28, 2007 by clydedrexler Quote Link to comment
Vertu Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I do hope so too na matuloy. It will take a lot of effort and manpower plus capital to make it a reality. SPx is out na in both stores. More to come this week. Will have more Full Court and SPx. Triple Threads and Chrome by next week (sana). Lets keep the hobby alive... Quote Link to comment
Vertu Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Unfortunately, i really cannot just give it straight to any collector as that would be like giving favortism. I don't do this alone, as Revi knows i have a partner who manages our day to day operations. I basically do the procurement of the cards. We both do the opening together. As you know, the odds of getting very good cards whether numbered or not is quite slim. Marami dyan wont even cover the cost of the cases i bring in. I still have to cover my cost. Basically, our prices in the stores are very reasonable, i know its unfortunate na maraming "smackers" that may overprice certain players especially if its scarce or alam nila you collect them. I myself was smacked a few years back when i was starting up my jordan collection. The best i could do now really is to give you guys a heads up on when we would crack cases and when they would be displayed para mauna kayo. Other than that i may have a problem with my partner and best friend. Alam ni Revi yan. As for low numbered cards, i really sell them sa ebay on attyball23 kasi rarely could i really get a good price for rare cards dito coz of our low multiplier. Ayaw ko din naman malugi. Its really hard to balance between being a collector and a businessman. Quote Link to comment
clydedrexler Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 True. And I understand. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Vertu. And thanks for the effort..telling us when the cards be available in your stores! God blessWell, you heard it from the man himself. Let's keep the Hobby alive. Quote Link to comment
styx310 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Revi, I know this may sound stupid but may i ask what are the names of Vertu's stores and where are they located? Sorry for this question guys. Quote Link to comment
