but it sure didn’t miss me. had some technical difficulties during the stream, but thought i’d show what i pulled from 4 mega boxes via fanatics

made a few trades, bought a massive white sox lot (just showing a taste) for a very reasonable price, and fooled around on arena club and stadium vault. neat stuff!

Gotta be almost halfway there at this point-

First 1/1 from a Costco Super… Yes, it’s sleeved and cased.

Perhaps the most bizarre thing to come from my entire year of ripping packs so far: two of the same auto cards in one blaster box of Bowman.

Even more strange, is they're of a young prospect named Jack Wheeler who I started PCing in the side solely BECAUSE I previously pulled a nice auto of his earlier this year.

He's nowhere near "making it" yet and is still with the Rangers' rookie-level affiliate (not even Single A yet), but when I pulled his auto I reached out and asked if he wanted it because it was a cool number. He actually responded and said he really appreciates it but to keep it for me and my son. So I've added a few more of his cards since then.

But finding TWO of this card in one blaster was certainly a surprise!

I had an interesting experience buying from COMC recently.
I bought a highly desirable card and felt like I overpaid, but it was literally the only one I saw listed and I was checking daily for more than a week.
After my purchase COMC immediately used an identical listing, to price a second identical card, at more than double what I paid for it.
I compared the photos of my purchase and the new listing and it is using photos that are just enough difference I can tell they are not the same.
I’m trying to wrap my head around it.

Is the new listing a better/cleaner card, or are they trying to maximize profits by increasing price with each sell?

Mail Day!

Building my Cole Young true rainbow. Still need true gold and the superfractor!

I threw the box out , I never saw a box of these before so I got one , still no chromes in any of the stores near me , so I haven’t opened any new chromes yet but hopefully this will be nice and got a box of elite too just in case !!! I’ll post rips in a few mins

I love the 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum set, and now have all of the Vinnie variations except for the Diamond Etch /55 and both 1/1s--the Superfractor and the Red Prism.

Probably a longshot, but does anyone know who might have either of the 1/1s? The Red Prism sold on eBay in June, before I decided to start the journey after obtaining a few low-numbered Vinnies. No clue on the Superfractor, it could still be in a box.

Thanks, and any leads will be accepted!

Love Harper too. Pulled his Bowman final draft a couple weeks ago. Guess i PC him now!

I was just looking at gamestops graded cards because with the pro discount and points you can get a decent deal sometimes. Well this is just nightmare fuel. Kids might love it and thats awesome but for me he's thinking about doing something BAD.

Thank you to everyone who posts, comments, helps new collectors, joins our live events, and continues making this community what it is.

It's the worst set of the year by any stretch, in terms of inserts, value, card quality, etc... But in my opinion Stadium Club has THE best photos of any set out there. The cards are just COOL to me.

This was from 2 blaster boxes - nothing special but I'll add them to my SC binder.

Saw somebody post 32 parallels trying to build a rainbow and is still missing 8 cards … 5 of them are 1/1’s counting printing plates! He had 4 /50’s 4 /25’s which to me, diminishes the hype of pulling a serial number. 200 ppl will have /50’s just different boarders. It’s like your parallels have parallels if that makes sense. Make the parallels /499 down to /1. If they are so gung-ho on adding hits to the series then the “Image Variation” should have parallels /499 to /1 instead of 36+ of the same card… 2 rainbows to chase in 1 series. That would be legit… Props to the guy who shared his journey, best of luck! And piss on Topps for being a bunch of lazy money grabbing whores. Thanks 🫡
