I recently requested a PSA card in my Vault be shipped to me, paid the fees and website status shows the card has been shipped. The only email notification I received was receipt for the shipment fee, but nothing about the shipment itself. Looking at the portal, I am unable to find any tracking infromation. The Vault section just shows "shipped". The Orders section makes no mention of the shipment.

Any way to find the tracking information or is it normal for them to not provide it? If it makes any difference it's a few hundreds dollar card value.

About 15 years ago, I used to buy these nice single ball drawstring bags for my TF-1000's (the legendary one IYKYK) and NBA offical leather game balls. They were soft material, but also very thick, and definitely helped with the longevity.

Wilson makes a single ball bag, but aside from the bottom, the entire bag is netted so not the best (IMO) protection.

Anyone know of a product that's more like the one I described?

Suppose you took a capital gains loss of $15k in a given year; with the cap set at $3k per year, you have an additional 4 years to carryover the remaining $12k in losses.

How is this remaining $12k "balance" tracked? Is there a specific form or worksheet where each year it updates the balance, and this specific field is refenced in subsequent tax returns?

Or are you as the individual responsible for keeping track of it, and then required to show some form of proof each year? This could get messy as you'd have to go back to taxes from a few years back, and potentially show each year where you claimed a deduction.

Due to high demand, the upcoming Cerebras Systems (CBRS) IPO is now requesting (requiring?) that a limit order be set on your indication of interest.

I had submitted my indication of interest on Fidelity prior to the limit order request being made. As such, I was only required to enter number of shares. As of today, there are no updates/changes/action items on my indication of interest.

On a separate brokerage, I submitted an indication of interest after the limit order annoucement. In this case, it did ask me for both number of shares and limit price.

Questions:

1. Has anyone submitted an indication of interest on Fidelity after the annoucement was was asked to submit both shares and limit price?
2. Will Fidelity be sending out new notice/action item to add limit price to existing indications of interset?
3. Has anyone submitted an indication of interst on Fidelity prior to the announcement, only being asked for share price, and later canceled it, and performed a new indication that asked for both share price and limit price?

The closest match I could find is AIPO - it has exactly the names I want GEV CEG VRT VST ETN BE TLN CCJ. But despite the focus being energy, grid and data center operations, it does sneak in AI hardware. I don't hold any of those individually so the ETF is great and more concentrated exposure compared to the broad indices.

But it also has ~10% AVGO/NVDA/AMD which I already have too much exposure by holding individually, through SMH and through QQQM and VOO. Then to lesser weights it overlaps further with MRVL ARM amongst others.

I'll probably still take some bites if I can't find something better, but ideally searching for either no semi or less weight in semi.

I didn't realize that Roku had updated the Ultra model as it seems confusing to just keep the same name (why not Ultra2 or Ultra X etc so it's obvious there's a new/different version?).

Currently have the 2020 version or model 4800. Never had any issue with it until recently I noticed sometimes YouTube videos had buffering issues, which never happened before. While the occasional hiccup was acceptable, I'm new to Peacock streaming, and it jitters more often than not for live sports events - not even watchable unless you want a headache and to ruin your eyes. Hadn't noticed any issue with Netflix or Paramount.

I suppose it should be an obvious answer, but before committing to the upgrade purchase, just wanted to confirm with that the newer/faster model has fixed these type of issues for other users? Thanks.

Been in and out of the hobby for decades, and mostly out from 2017-2024. After attending some major shows in the past year, I was very surprised to see how many vintage and older cards (1948-1990 - I don't really look at prior years) have the newer LightHouse labels.

Many of these grail level cards would surely have first been graded prior to 2017, and they all couldn't be more recent submissions. It got me thinking, why would people bother risking the reholdering of $5-250k cards, not to mention the additonal costs? Sure, with the huge surge in prices, I suppose all of these cards were worth substantially less in 2017. But still, it's all relative; those older grails were still grails in 2017.

Is the main reason for reholdering higher demand and sale price on newer label? It's funny because I downsized some of my collection in the past year, and I have nothing but pre-2017 labels. Yet my grail/GOAT level/highly liquid cards had no trouble getting 85-100% comps in the old labels. Only buyers who wanted to offer less percentage comps referenced "old label" to try and negotiate the price down, but I passed on their offers. Main point is my personal experience seems to indicate new/old label does not matter. Maybe it was the nature of my cards where buyers were more forgiving (truly top 5-10 all time players, higher end grades, mostly rookies or lower pop issues)?
