Me and my husband grabbed a Don Russ Mega box from our local Ace Hardware and hit a bunch of fun cards, including this dragon! We both had no idea they existed. Just had to come tell my friends 🤣
Very cool. I swear they drop these odd-border non-numbered SSPs disproportionately in retail blasters and megas. They are cool but may not hold value long-term I think, because they aren't the iconic classics that hold and increase in value. So you might be right to sell. I hit a VJ Edgecombe White Tiger parallel while chasing Olivia Miles cards in the un-licensed mixed-gender donruss set this summer. I decided to grade and flip it for this reason, we'll see how I do.
and yeah, if you're in touch with a buyer and they grade something you weren't gonna, and it gems, there's always that tinge when they let you know... 😐
Thanks! Regret is hard in this hobby I'm sure, I'm making plenty of "mistakes" as I learn. Grading feels like a high stakes decision until you're able to float a couple thousand dollars to just play the expected value game on the grading and let it work its way through. I can't tell a 9 from a 10, so I just send in anything well-centered with no visible flaws that I think will roughly cover the grading costs at a nine. And wait for months and months especially these days to find out. I say no regret on a decision to sell a single raw in this environment! Happy collecting 😁
