As I'm want to do, I stopped at the LCS on the way to pick up the kid today. Bought 5 counter packs. 2 S1 Hobby, 2 S1 Jumbo, & 1 Prizm Soccer. About $80 after tax. Hobbies, 1st Jumbo & Soccer were all awful. 2nd Jumbo was somewhat better. For those that can't see my pics, Jasson Dominguez Gold Mirror Image Variation.
I haven’t ripped as much as some people but I’m done with series 1,2. I haven’t ripped any this year but the last couple I think I went through 6-8 hobby boxes and they were complete shit, relics of pitchers, barely any numbered or parallels. Just complete shit.
I have/had zero plans on buying series 1 as there’s no royals rookies I’m wanting, but I will say that I like the design this year more than I thought I would.
Visiting the folks and found a stadium club blaster. Not my favorite design but action shots hit as usual. Why SC is an afterthought vs Topps is weird to me. Anyway, not a bad blaster.
My PSA bulk value order arrived there on 1/26 and is being shipped back to me today. Less than a month turn around time.
I found some at target this morning. Got 3 and hit 2 Elly’s, 1 Dominguez, 3 #’d cards(1 was a Encarnacion-Strand gold, last sale was $25)
Going through my box of baseball cards to put on eBay and I discovered I have a 2023 Bowman Chrome Jackson Chourio image variation SSP that's been going for $100+ so that's cool
EX-MT PSA 6 A PSA 6 card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect which does not detract from its overall appeal. A very light scratch may be detected only upon close inspection. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may show some loss of original gloss, may have minor wax stain on reverse, may exhibit very slight notching on edges and may also show some off-whiteness on borders. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.
