If your intent is to sell I'd recommend grading it first. Same with any card in there valued over $25
Honestly that's about as good a box as you can ask for. Best autograph card you can hit plus colors of Walker and Watson. I will say the centering looks like it would prevent a 10 grade on those cards though.
It’s hard to tell because it seems almost like they’re off center by design (horizontally). There are definitely some extreme poor examples but for the most part none of them are perfectly centered from left to right.
I think to judge centering on Donruss this year the left is to the edge of the logo and the right is to edge of player picture.
There's a listing for the Pickett auto that's already at $200+ with 19 bids and it still has eight days left. Kinda thinking I should just list instead of getting it graded.
Rest of the box wasn’t great. The Bailey is /49 and is actually game worn so not terrible. Also a holo Herbert, Mahomes My House, and AJ Brown legendary logos with an unfortunate print line. Spoiler
Bought a box of Bowman Chrome U from LCS. Terrible box. Both autos were the same player, Chris Livingston. Bought 3 loose packs from the counter. First pack, Jarice Walker auto. Second pack, brick. 3rd pack was solid.
PSA authenticated Cade auto Jersey I just snagged for $130 somehow... think the jersey itself sells for more than that unsigned. It's personalized so I'm sure that tanked the price, but it's personalized to my sons name so it'll work. Wondering if seller is going to cancel, he's surely down money from cost of jersey and psa authentication fee
What is the outlook for Cade next year? I’ve been trying to grab some of his rookies since their prices have dropped
End of his rookie year he looked really solid. Last year they were full tank and I think the surgery he got was optional. He's missed a lot of time first two years which starts to make it worrying, but I think he has shown flashes he's going to be great if he stays healthy
Yeah it looks like they're still doing multiple formats for basketball but have cut back with football.
Got a box of some stuff I had stored in my parents attic last week. Had to have been put up there in college sometime 12 or 13 years ago. Had a couple autographed mini helmets. One by Jason Witten and the other a Miami helmet signed by Willis McGahee. I have zero recollection of buying the McGahee helmet but sent a picture of it to a buddy and he sent back a picture of his own. We must’ve been at a card show in high school and bought them together is all I can figure. Spoiler
I did the same thing with my Dad about a year ago. Nothing too valuable but he had some autographed baseballs that he gave to me, my brother, and my cousin. I got the autographed Hank Aaron ball and he kept the Tom Brady rookie that none of us knew existed.
I have a lot of random autographs from when I was in HS. A classmate of mine was huge into them and I'd use him as a free trip to games. He'd usually give me two things to get signed and let me keep one and he'd sell other. He kept that up after HS and has an insane ebay store now with like 10,000 items for sale. He works for JSA as an authenticator and does private wwe signings all the time. He also would tell me which guys signed fan mail. Most random one I found a few years ago searching my boxes was from must have been 2003 or 2004 when I was in high school I sent a card for Tom Brady to sign to Patriots and got it back, with a little pre printed flyer thanking me for my support. Listed it on ebay once and it got my account banned because whoever has Brady signature contract copywrote it and claimed it was forged. I mean it was probably some mail clerk signing it for him, but my item listing was clear circumstances it was obtained.
Might be able to buy a box of Select with the sale of this Pickett auto but seriously I don't think I'll do that.
I saw some auctions were going $30+(not sure if they got paid - they closed after I was researching), and most the recent BIN’s I saw when posted were under the $16 I got. It sat for a few days so I don’t think I priced it too far off Need to figure out who the next bigger prospect to get called up is, as it’s a great time to flip bowman lol
In theory, if I were going to buy an Acuña rookie as a long term stash which do you think is more likely to be higher valued in the long term? Bowman 1st Auto or Update SSP White Jersey?
Definitely the Bowman 1st Auto. And like texasraider said, spend the extra money for a refractor. I love Flagship Topps SP's and SSP's but neither are really short prints or super short prints. The White Jersey "SSP" Acuna has had 115 copies graded by PSA. So the print run is likely north of 250.
Just sold this on eBay Spoiler I’ve got a few cases. If I can get 12 boxes sold ITT at $190/box shipped I’ll crack one and ship them out. one of the few products that’s actually worth ripping
Congrats on the sale sheesh! I wish there were ways to short Wembanyama in the card game. Turning into taller Kristaps isn't out of the realm of possibilities.
bro looks like the QAnon Shaman and takes hits to the head for a living, unsurprising he has the auto of a 7 year-old
