    I got the worker who randomly gives me old baseball cards a new golf cart at work. He showed up with a stack of these old baseball stickers as a thank you.

    First pack I pulled Barry Bonds. It sold a couple weeks ago on eBay for $1. If I didn't just spend a bunch on lego sets, I'd be heading to Target after work.

    Anyone perused the Loupe app yet? It’s only on iOS but breakers offer packs for sale and rip/ship.

    I’ve seen bowman draft jumbo packs for $35 and I’m contemplating buying a few to try and get a Lacy/Tork/Ed Howard.

    Are there no Torkelson base autos? Everyone for sale on ebay is numbered or color and crazy expensive. None are base autos.

    I'd be worried buying individual packs. Guys can weigh packs and figure out which ones have hits in them. Very unlikely to pull something from guys selling packs from hobby boxes

    Depending on how many Howard’s I get out of my break I’ll gladly send you a paper base 1st

    Currently only available on iOS, but basically it's a twitch for breakers. Breakers can post their inventory/have it in the stream, and they will break on camera. Guy I watched last night quite a bit is below, and he was pulling some fire.



    This was pulled last night for this guy



    I mean, it's all on video, and assuming you're paying attention you can watch them crack a box before you even buy a pack. Obviously there's risk, but conceptionally it's brilliant IMO.

    So my wife has gotten into opening packs of cards with me, and I started a collection a few months ago when our son was born that I want to keep doing with him as he gets older, I now own the bowman paper, chrome and auto 1st of every tigers 1st round pick since Bowman became a set. I warned my wife Torkelson auto is going to set us back when we eventually buy it and im waiting for prices to drop. She told me to go buy a box at the local card store because she wanted to open it with me. Got the paper and chrome out of the way, but not the auto (knew that was a long shot)

    Already sold a purple chrome non auto of Carson Tucker for $50 to get some money back. You can buy a Riley Greene purple chrome now for $50 and he is a hell of a better prospect so I figure that card is going to drop a lot when market gets flooded

    Yea I'm still feeling it out, and there's not a lot of folks that are on it to this point it seems. The only breaker I've seen on it so far who I have followed prior is CrackinWax

    I only have one shop in town and they're generally overpriced. Haven't been by in ages as I'm trying to prevent myself from spending on hobby.

    I had convinced myself I wasn't going to buy a box of this but my wife told me to so I wasn't going to argue. Unfortunately pulled 3 pitchers autos, but at least 2 were 1st rd picks and all 3 were numbered

    Pulled a chrome blue /150 Bobby Miller auto
    Chrome /99 green Jared Shuster auto
    Chrome Refractor/499 Shane Drohan auto

    I was out of the card game for a long time, but out of curiosity what were hobby packs and boxes going for just a few years ago? I was reading guys tell stories that even last year you could easily find NFL Prizm in stores on the shelves, so what were the hobby boxes going for on the top products?

    If you don't plan to sell them off let me know, I'd love to get them as I don't plan on buying a lot of draft.

    I bought some panini rookies and stars knowing they don’t sell for much but had the itch. First pack got a Herbert base and Burrow Prizm insert, second pack got a Tua red parallel. Prob still can’t get my $23 I spent back but the itch is gone.

    Have today off. On the way to wash my truck I stopped by the shitty Walmart by my house to see if they had anything
    IMG_20201211_093915.jpg

    They had Donruss Holiday and Absolute in stock as well. And there was a Prizm display but it was empty.

    My LCS wasn’t selling Draft by pack, and it kinda irritates me. Guess I’ll have to get a pack on Loupe or something.

    They had a brand new open box no packs taken yet so I'm going to go try it. Also found a lcs 10 min away so it makes it easier. Not a bad $100 gamble

    Damn my LCS either shuffled the packs or it was just random I pulled 3 autos on bottom packs last box, pulled zero in 3 packs i got. That store is nice on the Royals though, pulled a Refractor Nick Loftin chrome and a sky blue Chamberlain chrome

    Twice I've had international packages show up with nothing but stamps, but I think technically you're suppose to have a CN-22 form so don't be surprised when your shit gets rejected.

    My wife has had to send stuff to Canada before and from what I was told anything outside of a envelope will need a form filled out and it will be reasonably more expensive. I think we ended up paying around $1.40 for a envelope that contained what I would call an equivalent to the thickness of two top loaders

    Just hit a 1 of 1 Brian Dawkins Auto 2020
    Mosaic in a break. Any idea on what it would be worth?

    So to kind of go along with that, would a 1 of 1 go for 10 times the amount of a /10 card?

    My Bowman wall is up in my kids play room. Look forward to keep updating it every year with him, just need to update the Tork to an auto.

    Every Tigers 1st rd pick that has a Bowman rookie or 1st card is on that wall, auto version if they had one (beside Tork who im waiting for prices to cool to buy)

    Now the question is, that is on a wall on one side of a window, my wife said to balance the room I need to have similar shelves on other side of the window

    Do I keep the collecting thing going with my son and put up red wings young guns cards over there, or do I just display cool cards I have?

    NBA Supercard is an App that came out for collecting fake cards. May scratch the itch. If anyone else joins, start a team and I'll join.
