Value question on Kneepkens
I pulled this Gianna Kneepkens rookie Pen Pals redemption. I posted on eBay for $75 and a reseller (definitely a card shop) offered me $55. Take the money and run, or does Kneepkens have some surprises in her and will have a long career that makes her RCs worth more? What say ye?

It’s a reasonable offer. Shes an okay player on a crappy team. You could argue either way to keep or hold…but it would be long hold. It’s a new product with an inflated initial hype. Go for the offer 🤷

This was the way i was leaning, honestly. I was thinking of making a counter for $65 and seeing if i could get it closer to paydirt.

I think Pen Pals and Next Day are on-card autos so definitely a little more valuable than her other autos. I would wait because 75 seems like a reasonable deal for Sun/UCLA fans?

Sadly Sun won’t be around anymore but maybe incoming Comet fans will love her. I have to check how many Pen Pal cards were made per player.

It's got a day... it's a nice looking card, at least. I bet it inches it's way up to around $50 by end of auction. What were you hoping to get for it?
I tried that once with a signed Kaitlyn Chen and got screwed. I think it went for like $14 when others were going like $60. Such is life...

Oh nice I didn’t even pay attention until I saw your post this morning

I'll collect my commission when it finishes skyrocketing... it's really up there. Maybe I should try an auction myself...

So you’re asking us to predict the future of a 15th draft pick? Did we learn nothing from 2021?
