    Stupid noob question so I’ll prepare to take my laps, but can anyone tell me what this is? It is not numbered of of /X on the back. Came out of a hobby box.

    Rainbow foil. You’ll likely pull a couple across a hobby box iirc.

    Topps has made some really uninspiring inserts in recent years but All Aces are great looking cards. Almost feels like they should be SSP or Case Hits with how good they look.

    If you're into that kinda thing, probably the best(or close to) price you'll find.

    I've opened 3 baseball draft pick prizm blasters, and pulled 5 autos, sure 3 autos are of people who have either retired or will likely never get about AA. The other two were Jackson Holliday /99, Kumar Rocker /50.

    What I'm saying is, if you see them in the wild, they might be worth grabbing.

    I somewhat understood it when Mosaic came out just because he was starting for a great team and I think he hadn't been in some of the previous sets. Definitely a little surprised that he's still such a hot commodity though.

    Getting a bulk discount. It’s the same sort of discount that card shops get, but he has zero overhead so doesn’t need to price in brick and mortar type rent to recoup his cost while making a bit extra.

    Speaking of Leaf, super annoyed at myself for missing this one. I made a bit and meant to go increase it, but just lost track. Freaking $36

    You could have likely got more for it now, but long term it wouldn’t hold too crazy value as Jack Bauer mentioned.

    it's quite beautiful, and i may be the biggest yankee fan in this thread, but i'd maybe give 25-30 for it now, but not more so i think you did alright.

    Just a friendly reminder that nobody should be buying Prizm singles with a print run greater than #/49 for 2-3 weeks. Let the prices come down before purchasing easily-attainable cards.

    On the contrary, if you ripped Prizm and plan to sell now is the time.

    Best I saw was a Purdy non-auto gold shimmer /10. Other than that nothing great, still no way I’m buying into a Prizm break at these prices.

    Card shelves going on up in my son's room (some signs still coming in mail). The Tigers Bowman 1st autos going on one wall, the hand signed Wings YG on another (4 more coming in mail to fill it off). Last wall going to be FSU auto cards and I need something to do for Lions. I need a set all 1st rd picks or big rookies will be in, and something that won't break bank if they draft a QB one year. So that elimates most auto sets because like Sewell is only in 4 or 5 pro auto sets, none desirable. So my two thoughts are light blue prizm or blue scope optic. Thoughts, any other suggestions (pics of room in progress and two options in spoiler)
