Sports Card and Memorabilia thread

I had convinced myself to not get a hobby box but I might now

 

I would avoid XR packs. Wait until White Sparkle or Cosmic packs come out IMO

 

I got a jumbo last year and it was very meh. Kyle Lewis was the auto. I know a lot of folks go with 2 hobby boxes instead of a jumbo for the chance a decent parallels, and you would still get 2 silver packs.

 

they’re all gone

 

awesome story and always cool to see pro guys collect

 

That’s awesome

 

White Sparkle Optic and Prizm Football will be out within a few weeks of those products coming out and are usually purchased with rewards points.

 

Prism white sparkles have been dutch auction. Optic is points

 

Went to Walmart to pick up some flu meds.
Also got some Topps Update blasters.
Will report back.

 

PSA order just arrived

lord, beer me 10s

 

And?

 

I got into a 1986 fleer basketball set break. I did not win the Jordan Beckett 8.5, Barkley PSA 8, or Olajuwon PSA 8.

I did however win the raw Paul Pressey.


They can't all be bangers.

 

16 cards. 9 10s, 5 9s, 2 8s. I’ll take it.

some of the cooler stuff in the order

 

Blatant like farming

didn’t 10 but pulling and grading a PC card feels good

 

I bought some hangers

 

Can we stop pretending you guys aren't gonna open this shit.

 

Oh, I'm going to open them when I receive them next Thursday.

 

Opened the Update blasters. Of note:
Royce Lewis SP
Babe Ruth SP
JarreN Durran Chrome Stars of the MLB Red /75
Bobby Witt Jr RC
Julio Rodriguez All Star Game RC

 

Not a bad little update blaster box.

 

I got them from Target but they're sold out now. https://www.target.com/p/2022-panin...ing-card-hanger-pack/-/A-87266077#lnk=sametab

Walmart has some for $2 more. https://www.walmart.com/ip/2022-Pan...-Parallels-on-Average/1638049289?athbdg=L1100

 

The dumbest card ever made

 

I’d say this is the dumbest ever… but I actually want to own it.

 

Took a small piece of my Cam Thomas profits and bought this which is an absolutely insane statement today much less 6 months ago

 

What are considered the best rookie cards for NBA?

Donruss rated?
Panini contender?

Looking to pick a nice Herb Jones.

So that's not a sticker auto? Why do they make it look like a sticker?

 

Sorry if it's common knowledge, never had a contenders ticket auto. Just seems weird to make it look like a sticker.

 

Optic over select always

 

No it’s always been a thing. But non auto’s can sell for more than autos sometimes because the autos are stickers

 

The design that year is one of the worst. They have sticker autos in the set but the cracked ice are never stickers

 

This is what you’d want

 

The gold prizm, what do those come in? Because I've seen on ebay packs for sale titled hot packs with a guaranteed gold prizm auto inside. How would they be able to guarantee that?

 

Gotcha.

I was searching for gold prizm autos.

 

They can’t

Prizm golds are exclusively out of prizm hobby packs and suuuuuper tough to hit. Especially a rookie. Especially especially a good rookie
