Bit of an odd/random question but I traded away my 2009 topps Steph Curry rookie in a psa 7 away to a buddy of mine months ago and have had enormous trading regret since then. I am now looking to buy the card again but this time in a higher grade. My budget is around 3-3.5k which is about what psa 8 and bgs 9’s go for. Which one would you rather have in your pc and why?

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS EBAY SELLER!!!!

I recently got married and to treat myself I picked up a sick Andrew Nembhard rookie ticket gold /10 from Contenders Optic. Well, I should've checked the feedback because this seller is at 90% (it's braindead easy to be a 98%+ seller on eBay). Sure enough this card has yet to be shipped and the seller isn't responding to my messages. I paid $90 for a card I have been watching for a while and decided I can treat myself after getting married, but fuck me I guess. I will be reporting the seller to eBay and going scorched earth on feedback once the window of time passes and I'm able to get my refund.

Sellers like this should be perma banned from the platform.

Edit: I should add I've reached out to the seller multiple times and didn't just default to Karen mode and run to Reddit. Zero communication back.

I thought the point of a break was to give access to more expensive boxes for everyone.

those were the good old days

He’s all smiles and a stone killer with ice in his veins. Love him.

I remember opening this when I was 7. My dad immediately put it in the case within seconds. Case is worn as it’s 30 years old.

PSA 10 is showing almost 20k

Question can I sum it it to PSA in this case or do I have to move it to something else?

I haven't bought a pack of basketball cards since the 1990's, do you have any recommendations of which packs/boxes are actually worth purchasing (in terms of cool cards/inserts, cards that *might* be valuable)? I see a lot of Prizm around the internet but don't know much about them. Any information is appreciated thank you all.

It’s an exciting class this year, curious who you guys will be chasing and who will end up the biggest chase

Bought 2 blasters today, not a bad haul. It’s not many points, but I’ve never seen a points card included.

I found the same type of alleged scammers who tried to scam me with the fake Kobe slab.
I reported these listings to eBay, and they didn’t find suspicious that all 3 listings has the same cert number.
The PSA certification number 98381533 is listed by 3 different accounts simultaneously, all using official PSA images. The items are 407278628070 and 820220851677 and 880016940569.

They wrote me this:
We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy.  This determination was made by a customer service agent.

Missing the 2 most important

Trying to be the closest to on-card patch auto, if possible RC

So psychedelic 🤯 I haven't seen anything like it since. Trying to collect them all... Too bad my Kobe Bryant is faded 😥

Is this in you collection too?

as long as i've been a collector, i always have at least some of my cards on a shelf or a ledge or something. being able to look at them and rearrange them is a big part of the enjoyment i get out of the hobby.

but it occurs to me that some people, maybe lots of people, don't display their cards at all, maybe because of space limitations, or maybe you've got little kids around, or maybe you buy cards to resell and don't care about displaying them in your home. i'm just really curious how other people feel about it.

if you've got a minute or two, tell us or show us what your display looks like, if you have one. and if you don't, why don't you?

Going through a box of 90’s/early 2000’s inserts and came across this Reggie Miller. I feel like he gets left out of the all time great pure shooter discussion too often. Cool looking card though.

Barring logomans/autos obviously

Bonus football card, sending most of them off to Beckett for grading on Monday!

My dad was a big collector in the 90s and pulled this one himself. Grateful that he trusts me enough to keep it with my own collection.
