I wanted to show everyone this graded card so everyone can see what looks like a perfect flawless card to us, is viewed differently through the eyes of the experts

Hope this helps  Smiley

Every time I have hesitated because I thought the value wasn't there my luck always turned out I should have jumped in.  Sports card collecting has always been an enjoyment and not a for quick profit turnaround.  But, in the case of the hottest rookie card to come along since Michael Jordan back in the 80's we are going to see some of the highest prices ever seen on the 1/1's when they finally hit the market, time will tell.

Best of luck to all collectors Smiley



You are forgetting about LeBron, the mecca:

I too was wondering why things blew up like they did.  I suspect it is because crypto faithful are used to seeing things skyrocket and buy into the teeth of a rally, but it  has to stabilize at some point.

spent the last few hours opening several blaster boxes and hobby boxes.  I've had some really cool pulls (non crypto related)

including a rip card (limited to 75), an autographed framed card, and several relic cards.  The relic cards are extremely cool - I love that they are using the actual fabric from the clothing of the players, along with things like pieces of the baseball bat

thought you all would enjoy seeing:

I agree.  There are some awesome cards to be had.  Some of the packs feel slightly thicker than the others, so you can somewhat predict a frame, ripcard or other goodie.  I was organizing all the base cards to sell them off, but there doesn't seem to be any market unless the name on the card is Trout or that Japanese rookie.

Just to be clear for you treasure hunters, there is a 1/1 glossy for both the regular size card and the mini. Smiley

Appears there are only 2 mini black ginter X left on ebay.  That will take us to around a total of 50 that have been sold.  So that leaves us with very little of the rare ones left out there. Smiley

Glow in the dark is sold.

I sent a few things to PSA yesterday.  I'm crossing my fingers for 10's.  Not going to check the grade online; going to wait until it arrives in the mail.

I know a lot of it has to do with centering and how the card was printed.  Cant wait to see what I get back.   

Frank, this is a completely different animal than the coins.  I have never gotten a graded 10 holy grail.  I have had a 9.5 gem mint which is so close.  Best of luck for that 10.  Let's know Smiley  I hope you get it

Thank you Smiley  Yes that is true!

Psa gives out a decent amount of 10s although obviously a lot less.  Good luck
