Just asking: Are anyone waiting until after the Christmas rush to make offers? I have been busy and will be busy until about the 20th. So it appears I will wait until after Christmas to start making offers again. If some thing real good pops up I may have to do an offer.
Merry Christmas

I'm usually up for a holiday deal, but as with most during holiday gatherings, the best laid plans get pushed aside sometimes.

Some are waiting until the USPS's holiday price gouging ends. They were given permission to temporarily raise prices during the holiday season.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I have had my trading turned off for a while now. I expect to fully return in January, after the holidays'.

I'm currnently only looking for 2021 Heritage High Numbers that I am missing and the occasional cards for the player PC. After the first of the year I plan on turning on a few more sets that I want to collect, Like other said, due to the delays with USPS I will probably keep things to a minimum...yet I haven't experianced anything horribably delayed yet.

Nah. I find that offers always come in groups so I just use any downtime reorganizing cards or buying more with gift cards I get for Christmas or on sale online like the Collector Store's 25 Days of Christmas deals.

I think there is never a bad time to trade. I have already completed 18 trades in December. I have 26 in progress and 19 proposed. So if you want to add more to my inbox, please do!!! GO COWBOYS!

Not sure many prices will be going down after holidays I got the below from Pirateship.com last week and the parcels will stay the sane, basically a permanent increase.
Here's what's changing:
- Parcel Select Ground is the biggest news, with up to 58% decreases
If you're okay with 2-8+ day delivery speed estimates, you now have an opportunity to save up to 79% compared to Priority Mail. We do recommend adding insurance when buying Parcel Select Ground, just in case... but if you can plan your shipping ahead of time, this kind of savings could be a game changer!
- Dimension-Based Priority Mail Cubic was made even more competitive for the smallest package sizes, where it's even cheaper than Parcel Select Ground. Although there's significant increases for most tiers in zones 5-8, the weighted national average is actually hardly changing from the Holiday Rates

- Weight-Based Priority Mail is getting up to 31% cheaper than Holiday Rates too, so getting quicker service for larger packages just got up to $16.95 cheaper!
- First Class Package is staying the same as the holidays, except for the 1-4 oz range which is only going up by 6-7 cents

- Priority Mail Flat Rate is getting 25 to 85 cents cheaper compared to the Holiday Rates, which is more great news.

Yeah, I take a holiday break on sending proposals out, but still, accept them. I use this month to do corrections on my wanted and up for trade cards and add cards up for trade that I keep putting off the rest of the year.

What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)
