    Yeah I bought two FOTL boxes. Didn’t realize the green shimmer in Prizm is much lower #d than Topps. Can’t recall what the Milroe is but I know it was way less than the /99 or /199 or whatever Bowman green shimmer is.

    Anything green in Bowman and Topps is /99 and retail exclusive save for a few products (stadium club being one of them). Prizm FOTL green shimmer is /8 which is pretty sweet to get a top player in.

    actually think 2024 Prizm Draft is a pretty good buy with all the college QBs they have in the checklist

    great boxes Pelican

    translated: I found someone else to pay me more for it.

    I don't think I've ever been as apathetic toward collecting as I am right now. The market is run (and ruined) by speculators, gamblers, and dishonest people. Box prices are asinine and the common collector is no longer a focus. It's all about money and flipping. I mean, I have seen some of my recent Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas cards being re-listed at 3-4x the auction sale price. Who the hell is out here grinding for $10 flipping Hosmer and Moustakas?!

    PSA guys, how much would some white on a back corner of a card ding it if everything else looks good? 9 still possible or is 8 the best?

    I was at my lcs shop debating buying this. Front looks great back has issues. Ended up getting him to knock $40 off asking and I'll probably display this ungraded. Front is perfect, but I think that back is taking it down to a 8 max

    Yeah that corner is rough. You could always get it authenticated if you really want it in a slab for protection.

    nasty card but yeah, absolute best case is an 8

    Could grade just the auto so that you get the "PSA 10" that way

    Youngest is sort of interested in cards, big brother messes around with Pokémon a bit.

    He's been a huge Messi kick the past few months which is wild because we live super rural in a fly over state.

    Found a pretty cool custom Messi. Maybe fuel his itch a bit.

    Anyone use the mag pro one touches or done any custom work for them? Trying to think of a way to display my Lions blue ice prizm collection and don't think I want to slab because I'm slowly getting them signed as guys have signings. Thought these mags with some sort of custom thing at the top may look cool. And they are similar size to PSA slabs so I can display some graded ones with it if I wanted. Pic for those who may not know what I'm referring to (taken on top of a psa slab to show size comparison). I have one, thinking about ordering more

    I bought two megas and one had an orange auto and the other had a yellow auto. Small sample size, but worth it for guaranteed auto and there are color autos in there

    For magnetic holder guys, not sure what is going on with Amazon. But they currently have 2 20 count boxes (40 total) of the BCW version of one touches available for $35.99. Not even advertised as a sale. One of the 20 count boxes is "on sale" for $27.99. So I'm not sure if that $35.99 for two of the boxes is a mix up or what. BCW own website the cheapest you can get them is $1.49 each if you buy 200+

    Here is the link.
