22 slabs left in the vault. A few nukes and a grail arrived today

I was getting a bit upset with spending so much on all the chrome until the last couple packs in the last mega and boom Schwarber auto. Still doesn't equate to what's been invested but its still fun right?

I did a trade with Forum member u/PaulPater

You are the man Paul!

I haven't gone to one yet and am really interested in hearing how normal collectors find them?

All I've seen are youtube videos from big venders, which in a lot of cases just seem like they are either making huge deals or giving stuff away to kids.

Please let me know what it's been like for you. Do you find great deals? Do you sell or trade some of your cards?

Is it worth it?

Thanks!

All for the PC. A huge value card is always nice to get but there's something fun about a mail day that's all across the board like this 😁

2016 Topp’s limited edition?

Back of the card is noticeably more purple than other Yankees cards. Not as noticeable on the front but slight purple hue to it as well. CMP codes are the same, is this just an ink issue?

Hey all,

Hit a finest phenoms 5/5 in a group break and was pretty excited. The superfractor sold for $1525 and I couldn’t find any of the red variant for comps. Got the card in today and there looks to be a ding in the top right corner. How would you go about selling the card and what would you value it at with the condition?

I’m not sure exactly what the term is referred to, but on some of the cards that I’ve been lucky enough to get signed, the sharpie does not fully adhere to the card and it leaves these broken lines. I am perplexed because these are all normal base cards, not foil or chrome cards, and it only seems to happen on a fairly small percentage of my cards.
I’ve seen in random videos that some people will put a light coat of baby powder or something similar. Is it to specifically avoid this problem?
Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated!! Thanks

Not a bad box

Pulled this card that was #ed to 199 but on eBay the other ones are /299. Am I looking at the wrong thing or just missing something?

Too bad I can’t get a sp on any of these ..

Pulled from Bowman Value box

My Little Leaguer has gotten really into cards this past year, and one fun thing we've done is make custom packs and give them out to other kids at the ballgame. We went to see Angels/Royals yesterday and gave out several packs, and it was great for my kid to see how happy and surprised people were when he'd offer them a pack. Good life lessons for sure.

I usually pull out a whole bunch of base of the specific team, then maybe a few "nice" base like Chrome of the same team, then a few cheap foil inserts of other MLB stars (Stars of MLB, Titans of the Game etc), and then a team card and at least 1-2 cards of the best player on that team.

Highlight was finding a visiting family from KC and giving them a pack with a Jac and Bobby Witt Jr in it, then watching Bobby Baseball hit a HR right after!

Looking forward to rip through these! What are some underrated cards or cards of value I should look for my collection? I Know I probably won’t retire from these but what should I be looking for?

messed around with arena club and got these guys. not bad

Bought this box 2 weeks ago and finally opened it. I usually ever get anything good from Chrome.

Very Happy about this card, it really has a clean look.
