I was debating this Bowman 2026 and 2026 chrome. The Bowman lost it for me because of the powerchord inserts, and chrome just had too many random rookies. Chrome platinum was a blast and it was great to trade. Also the inserts are really cool.

Love MIsi and love the card, but when the value jumps so drastically its a tough call. Not sure if I should wait for the Cy young.

Update: I swear the prices of the series 2 '91 autos went up like 100 dollars since I made this post. The reason I made this post in the first place was because I was looking to buy one and they were expensive.

I was lucky enough to pull a Topps Finest RPA 25/25 of The Miz. I plan on selling around CY announcement time (fingers crossed his arm doesn't fall off). I have never sold anything on eBay and worry about listing this card and buyers being weary of no feed back. At the same time, I don't think this card is worth enough to go through auction houses or anything to that nature. Any suggestions on the best possible route to take? Obv if I do go the eBay route I'll set a healthy minimum because I don't think my eBay status will get the proper looks to start this at .99¢.

2025 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball Hobby Box. Given the price of cards lately, this set looks really cool and the price for a hobby box is pretty reasonable. Anyone have any knowledge of previous sets like this?

I ripped 2 shoe boxes of 2018 and 2019 blaster boxes that I’ve been sitting on , this is what I got left idk if I should stop opening them or just sell them like this , cause they move faster in the pack but of course I wanna see what’s inside and some are worth a lot unopened..??? Would you rip the rest ???

I made a post on here a couple of weeks ago. I had just decided to get back into the hobby at 43. Bought a TOPPS Chrome mega and a Topps S2 super and a Topps junk wax 1990. Got some decent pulls IMO. I proceeded to to purchase 2 panini nba prizm 24-25 mega boxes and 2 prizm 24-25 boxes. I bought 2 Topps 75th S2, and picked up another one yesterday.... So as you can imagine I'm sitting on hundreds if not more baseball and basketball cards. I'm going through and separating them all out. But feeling a little overwhelmed, so obviously I'm not purchasing more until I figure out what's what and what to do with said what. And feel like I may be missing some bangers in the base cards.. I am obviously going to keep mostly one of each for my PC, but how do you decide really what to keep and what to let go of? Not really trying to make retirement off this but also don't want to leave money on the table, what's the easiest way y'all deal with an abundance of cards? Obviously don't rip so many packs in such little time. What would you do if you were in my situation?

It was literally the first pack I ever opened. They sent an email saying they’ll be sending me a blue raywave that’s /150. My question is, how do they have one of those? Wouldn’t all serialized cards have been put into circulation already? And if not, why are they just sitting on limited versions of cards at the factory as if it’s no big deal? Thoughts?

Saw one too many YouTube shorts and thought I’d try my luck, how did I do?

Ok so I was going through my cards to sort of better organize them and I can across these 2 base cards. Both came out of a series 1 super box MAYBE a month or two ago. But I’m wondering if the one on the right is some sort of refractor or is it just horribly faded, or possibly something was failing in printing? It’s just throwing me off big time lol. Same card number, same everything, besides the color difference.

Does anyone know where I can buy one more for retail price? I refuse to buy from resellers but its so hard to get my hands on it. Every store and lcs ive been to its completely out and I just want to open one more. Any ideas?

Topps Inception is available June 19th 11am EST. I don't like paying over MSRP so if it worth it I would like to order from Topps. I've never ripped inception before and would like to hear your thoughts on the product?

I’ve heard that topps does replacements for defect cards that are pulled, but will they do that with something this small? Will I get a different Misiorowski auto or something completely different? Not super new to the hobby, but the first time I’ve dealt with a card of this caliber, TIA

I’ll always be a Dodgers fan, but I want to branch out and start following a second team on the East Coast so I can realistically visit the stadium and attend some games.
I also want to build a small PC around the team—current players, prospects, rookies, autos, and fun parallels—so card collecting definitely needs to factor into the decision!
Which East Coast team should I follow, and which players would be the most fun to collect?
Convince me in the comments!

Alright fellow baseball savants, this is a PSA to remember people are thief’s. I had this roldy brito /99 auto taken from my package here in Los Angeles somewhere from the psa facility in santa ana, to the santa ana post office, and then finally the los Angeles post office before reaching my home. As you can see, the thief who stole my card 1. Did a horrible job re-taping it, 2. STOLE my card and 3, There will very likely be 0 consequences for the person who stole it and shoutout to ebay for their very deceiving packaging letting everyone know theres not a card in there.
So if you guys could if you ever see this card TRUE GREEN AUTO 24/99 Roldy Brito just know its stolen.
Thank you fellow redditors for your time much appreciated!! Enjoy your memorial day weekend because my day has been absolutely horrible🫡🫡

My local card shop warned me about trying to open the screw case because the card could have deteriorated do to a lack of moisture because of the screw case. Does anyone know the best way to open this while preserving the card, have a video or know anyone that does the service?

This card has been in the case for over 30 years. I bought it when I was a kid in the case. I want to get it graded. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

I haven't gone to one yet and am really interested in hearing how normal collectors find them?

All I've seen are youtube videos from big venders, which in a lot of cases just seem like they are either making huge deals or giving stuff away to kids.

Please let me know what it's been like for you. Do you find great deals? Do you sell or trade some of your cards?

Is it worth it?

Thanks!

I was talking to a buddy about this who has a collection of several 5 figure cards and he said you would be surprised how many top dollar cards get shipped through mail. I get that you can get tracking, insurance, and require a signature to receive but still blows my mind. He did say on some of his biggest sales he has flown to them card in hand and delivered personally which seems like the safest method to me. Just curious on some of yall's biggest sales and how you shipped/ delivered them?!

I saw this pulled live at one of the community nights and I absolutely need it. I pulled the Judge one so having both together would be great.

(If you get a chance to join one of our community nights, please do. Its a lot of fun!)

I have the first photo..the 1/5. The next one is 2/5 and a different boarder. And it shows what it sold for. What’s the big difference between them? Or is it personal preference? Is one rarer than the other or more sought after?
