    Not a bad return at 300 x $90 per card. 
    I've been watching these and there are now 7500 PSA 10's!.  They regularly sell between 30-40.  There was a recent at $54 but that seems odd when theres BIN for 15 cheaper.

    All the Wemby’s are down between the massive quantity and the container US Customs seized containing thousands of counterfeit Prizm RC’s from China.

    I went and researched it right after.  They look really good to be fakes.  I wouldn't be surprised if they were made in the same plant as the regulars.

    You missed the boat on that one.  Aaron, Kaline and Banks rc cards.  Thats a big set.  If you don't mind lower grades it achievable.

    Whoa! That's great! That's a beautiful set.  Love the portraits along with the smaller action poses.

    Yeah, I have kind of a system where I am going to incrementally acquire the cards.  As I go I am going to upgrade as well.  Going to try to spend less (including shipping) than the psa guide price.  When I upgrade, going to try to get more than the price.  

    I'm in the process of going through my house and selling a lot of junk (and other stuff just taking up space) in order to fund the machine.

    If you haven't read about it.  Bobby Witt Jr played a game with 7 of his rc cards in his pocket and signed them and sent them off to PSA.  Pretty cool for the hobby and a player who collects.

    I have his Flipstock card that I'd love to trade him.

    Did he have them in a slab/protective case or were they loose when he played with them in his pocket? That would be funny if it was the the latter.

    Loose played with in his pocket!  One card graded a 1 and he notes that his sweat wore out the card.
