    Fanatics will be the death of the hobby.
    Its junk era 2.0.  The box prices don't justify the outcome.  You used to have value in a box.  Not for the last three years have I seen that.

    A bow of bowman had worth but now they signed EVERYONE so you're likely to get all pitcher insets and autos.  Happened to me and Last box I ever bought...

     New pickups and a piss poor PSA submittal.  These cards looked a lot better than these grades.  I can get a 5 from a card w a crease.  Jeezus.

    The Trout is a Cactus Jack Fanatics fest exclusive.  Only 119 made.  1000 boxes made so I want ed one incase they dried up.  The other is a rare Finest.

    My pick-ups from this weekend’s Twin Cities Fall Card Show. Got alol for $80, which was a fair price.

    I’ve  always loved the 1972 Clemente card. It’s a little o/c but the corners are sharp. With the Rose, I just need the 1972 to finish my 70s Rose collection. It’s a hard card find in decent condition and reasonable price.

    Nice pick ups.  My friends at Real Breaks were at that show.  Cool guys.

    The 72 In Action of Clemente is my fav card of his.

    Glads you are happy to get these!

    That sucks Chris.  My buddy lives in Connecticut and he uses a local card shop to screen his cards before sending them to psa.  They have equipment similar to psa and they look at each  card really closely and then give you a written report on what they expect the grade to be.  No guarantees but he took a flier on it and all the cards they predicted would be tens came back as tens.

    I'm good at looking over the cards. I won't send in junk.  I look them over in a light w a magnifying glass.  There are certain cards they just won't grade high like the ichiro/pujols rookie and the 1984 Mattingly.  I sent in fine specimens and got back 8's.  What  friggin joke.  I'm going to resend them again and see what happens.

    Now thats funny!

    For whatever reason WWE cards are all the rage again.  Hot product.  About a year and a half ago they sat on shelves.  Maybe because the Rock is back in autos?

    Any chance we  get an EV specific Topps Now card for the Vedder Cup and a shot (.0001%) at an auto???

    Maybe if he throws out the first pitch during the August Seattle series? Shows conflict with San Diego in a few weeks.

    I know it’s slim odds but your scenario is probably our best chance.  🤞🏻

    The big Hofstra show is this weekend.  I'll be setting up.  I will be selling raw cards this time around instead of the usual graded.

    I've been buying a bunch of Bobby Witts lately.  I even bought the Mullet card.  That will be THE rookie of his to get.

    No mullet but I did get his SP out of a S2 pack. That was fun. Good luck with the show!

    Show was a bust... People arent really buying.  I usually do really well but didn't this time around.  I made some good purchases though.  Bought a bunch of OS1 Garbage Pail Kids. Also a nice Judge rookie.

    I was at the big card show here in the Twin Cities a few weeks back. Several of the dealers I chatted with said the same. No one was buying. The dealers who seemed to be moving anything were the Pokémon folks.
