HOOPS HOBBY HANGOUT :: Episode 31: The Case for Topps :: Author admin

2026-03-27T23:42:54+00:00

It’s no secret that we’ve all been critical of Topps’ return foray into basketball cards. Nearing the six month mark since retrieving the card license, Joey builds the case for Topps, trying to convince Steve that Fanatics has done some good with the licenses. Ryan and Adam, who will be absent this week, will be the judges of how we did.

In this episode we talk about cards we have in our collections that often don't fit our usual collecting habits. Whether that be from players we respect who play on team we hate, or cards from team rivalries that are needed for sets.

lmfao I had looked at it too after I made this post, just insane. I can't see what his old user name used to be, but he recently changed it. I don't know if it's just me, but apparently you can no longer see the seller's past user names like you could in the past. Thanks for nothing, eBay!

SacKingsCards wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2026 6:08 pm It has gotten insane. I feel like comps are meaning less and less each day. There have been 36, yes 36, copies of various parallels of a Jose Ramirez auto that has been listed, "sold" and relisted every five days with DCSports since February 6th. They run five day auctions, so they'll run them all and then just relist it the next day or two. This is ROUND SEVEN of this. Who knows if any of them genuinely sell amidst this chaos, but it's absurd.

LOL I think DCsports is awful, I remember messaging them in the past just to let them know they've got their parallels incorrect and they didn't give two turds. I'm not surprised to be honest. Check these out, not a single one is gold. Just adds to the frustration of searching for refractors, or patch cards, only to be met with base chromium and jersey swatch slop from idiots ignorantly, or knowingly and willfully posting with incorrect descriptions in the listing titles.

Screenshot 2026-03-26 at 13-42-01 Electric Court Gold for sale eBay.png

There are also other sellers who will use every single buzz word / key term they can cram into a listing title and will take ultra high contrast color settings up to the max to make the card more colorful and it's really just some base card, or 26 cent insert from UD that no one cares about, but they're selling them at 30, 40, 50 bucks a pop. I noticed this really gain steam right around the time when people were slobbing on GaryV's lil knob and trying to usher him in as the sports card messiah, especially a few wackos on BO. Same thing this guy is doing with his Kobe "2nd year RC" "Gold holo" as mindcycle mentioned, lmfao

Quick shout out to the rookie of the year front runners! While Cooper Flagg was the shoe in, injuries and team record don't help his story. VJ Edgecomb surprised everyone early and maintained, even if only just. But Kon "the Kon Man" Knueppel came out, surprised everyone and keeps on surprising! With the individual success (most 3's by a rookie ever), his team having playoff hopes and his first ability (availability) showing near Ironman status, Kon has my vote!

Below are the topps chrome xfractors for each of these rookies.

Kukocitb, do you mean a faded blue or faded black?

After doing a bit more auto research, I think it’s an actual blue that has faded. I’m still all ears if what bo user aggie4ever is saying is incorrect…

I used to enjoy collecting the more obscure stuff, unfortunately with the influx of profiteers over the past decade+, what was once obscure is now hyper inflated in perceived value.

BASKETBALL :: Re: Something I have learned over the past few years..... :: Reply by mindcycle

2026-04-17T02:54:05+00:00

I’m still chasing some of the obscure at one point, but more recently hyped, cards to try and finish team sets. However, only if one goes under the radar on eBay or some random guys story sale on IG. I’ve mostly moved on when they hit IG “look at me” status.

Good examples are late 90’s Star Rubies. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I feel like those were never really a big thing until people got priced out of PMGs. I feel the same about Flair legacy this past year or two. Those are another late 90’s team set chase for me that luckily I’ve almost fully completed. They seem to have calmed down a bit in recent months though, thankfully.

Lately I’ve been looking into 2000’s era parallels. Like random UD foil parallels /25 that nobody will ever hype. Harder to find, but definitely a fun chase. Lots of cool stuff that decade.

BASKETBALL :: How much is my vintage Michael Jordan cologne worth these days? PSA 10? :: Author AbraCalabro

2026-04-13T00:39:56+00:00

Hey guys,

Was back at my parents house the other day to take a dump in their bathroom since my toilet is clogged and also to raid their refrigerator, but anyway...I found my old Michael Jordan cologne. This is a VINTAGE bottle, so it's the most legitimate version out there and it's about 3/4 full.

I spoke to some speculative market opportunists hobby experts and they informed me the fact that it was used by a real human being during the playing days of MJ actually would increase the value. Nostalgia brings huge money these days, as we all know, and the potential buyer of this item of substantial magnitude could relive the old days by projecting themselves as the original wearer of this hallowed scent.

If you TRULY are a Michael Jordan fan and collector, either OWN it and get yourself a genuine VINTAGE bottle of this stuff, or you can remain a fake, a phony, a pretender, a poseur, or as esteemed socialites and the Europeans say, fugazi. It takes a real big pair of basketballs and a whole lot of money to be a true MJ fan, let's be real here, fellas, grail pieces like this are being bid up to the max and getting locked up in PCs never to see the light of day again.

I went over it and it would probably grade a PSA 9, but a little wink wink, nudge nudge to a personal friend of mine, let's just call him.........Fat Burner, would easily bring it to a PSA 10 GM MT. You know, just like how the Pikachu Illustrator magically evolved from a Pikachu 9, to a Pikachu 10 instead of becoming a worthless Raichu.

I'd like to conclude this inquiry by saying I want to get the assessment of other racketeering hobbyist professionals here in price fixing evaluating speculative price on this one of a kind find.

I can post pics if necessary...but trust me, bro, it's legit.

I'm glad you like this card and are happy with it, but this is a perfect example on why I hate Panini.

This has the Action Packed branding, which was one of my favorite card companies of the 90s. Yet Panini has done absolutely NOTHING to show physically the great thing about Action Packed. This doesn't resemble any Action Packed card in history, nor does it use the embossed nature on a thick folded paper stock, nor does it have rounded corners. It's strictly a standard Panini card they stamped with the Action Packed logo. Panini is trash and nothing can change my mind.

Love this card, but it makes me sad, just like the Kemp. Basically the last time Kemp was Kemp and Penny got injured around the time this card was out and headed to Phoenix. These two should have been part of the Gold tier, but they're silver. lmao Crazy how quickly the league changed around those years.

I've got a lot more than I'm posting now, but this is what I have photos of so far. I've been getting a lot more in lately as well, so I may have more than pictured and just haven't done an updated set of photos yet.

If I do updated photos I'll delete the photos on this post, post new photos later in the thread, and then edit this post with a direct link there.

I've only done 1 deal here on HB, but ya'll know me from everywhere on the web and have done tons of deals elsewhere and have a good reputation. My feedback thread HERE doesn't have my positive experience with dengbang because he didn't leave me feedback but it was good.

I'm open to trades, and want mainly Fleer 1986-1991 (slabbed only please), Topps 1957-1995 (preferred slabbed but may do some raw don't care much about grade), and Topps Chrome 1996-current. I'm also open to Donruss Optic 2016-current. I mainly do Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers. I may make certain exceptions for stuff I want. Like some Stadium Club stuff, or Action Packed, or perhaps even stuff of guys I know my friends collect so I can get them gifts etc etc. Hit me with what you have and I'll let you know my interest level.

Prices/Stickers are used as a GUIDELINE and are not set in stone. I'll work with you.

I may be in too. I don't do a lot of selling, but I've got a TON of weird/odd rare 90s stuff I should offload.

I'll eventually get around to posting some of it here for trade, but for now let us know what you're looking for.

2026-04-18T03:15:53+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the interest! I was kind of joking when I posted this because I didn't figure there would be any replies....but I guess I can start!

How about a complete 1976-77 Topps Basketball set? (The tall ones)All cards are in 4-page pockets held by a d-ring binder except the checklist. It's PSA graded and I will have to check on the grade if anyone is interested in this. The bigger names are Dr J, Kareem, Walton and Pistol Pete, but there are lots of minor stars to boot! I bought this with the plan of maybe one day in retirement having a relaxing Friday night with a bottle of Cognac , make a tuna casserole, listen to some Stevie Wonder, Disco Duck and Hotel California while examining each card front and back for grading possibilities! At some point, I then remembered that I don't drink alcohol, I'm not a fan of tuna, I never liked disco or the Eagles(YUCK) and I quit sending in cards to grade soon before the Mayan Calendar ended! I will list the players I search for on a regular basis below and if you think you would like to make a trade offer, feel free! Based on overall condition of around Ex+, I would say a fair trade value is around $350-$450. I'm excited to see some responses. And if we want to make this a "General trade" thread, I'm good with that also! Post whatever you want. This is a safe space!

Here are players I usually look for:

Kevin Garnett, Kenneth Faried, Andre Iguodala,, Jaylen Brown, Ja Morant, Kristaps Porzingis, Damian Lillard and as Darz said..."Anything that catches my eyes"

Let's make this fun folks!

Im in for trading as well. Ever since the tariff and taxes on eBay, its hard for Canadian to buy anything without paying 3x due to extra fees. I also have a US address you can send it to for easier transactions.

My nephews finally got into sports cards after they starting playing rep spots. While I'm not collecting cheap stuff, I got them hooked on Kobe and MJ.. I gave them my fever and passion for my favourite 2 players. I made them focus on specific sets and they chose 1998 and 2006 Fleer EX sets. Thus I'm looking for MJ and Kobe from these 2 sets.

I have a lot of oddball stuff from the 90s-00s inserts as well for trade

2026-04-18T21:36:17+00:00

I'm open to looking at whatever and wouldn't mind trading all of these for just one card, maybe these could be good for any one looking to do resale. Not even looking for massive value in return, just something decent.

Mainly looking for Kevin Garnett, but would look at TMAC, or Vince as well. I'll upload more stuff soon.

Some high ends beginning here. Generally looking for KG, TMAC, Vince. Maybe trade for other Legacy stuff, one for some, some for one, let's confab.

There's a particular Kobe I'd want from 2002 also, long shot that any one has it, but may as well mention that.

OJ, that card is freaking wild dude. I've never seen this before and had no clue these even existed. Do you happen to have any other KG?

I might have some nice MJ low ends, if you wanted to look at that for the kids.

I think the 1/1 version all had the all star ticket vs the normal game ticket for the high serial numbers.

I take more time to go through some of my non crazy high all star HOF players and see what rare stuff I have. Probably no more KG stuff but a lot of other names

In the ever-shifting landscape of the 2026 Standard, the meta is currently defined by complex spellslinger loops and high-tier combo decks. But through all the new set releases and mechanical shifts, one archetype remains a constant, all-in Mono-Red Aggro. It is a great gatekeeper of the format, punishing any opponent who stumbles or takes too long to set up their engine. Today, we’re looking at how to build a version of this classic strategy that leverages mechanics like Speed and Warp to dominate the current environment. Why Aggro Now?

BECKETT :: The 10 Best Full-Art Supporter Cards in Pokémon :: Author admin

2026-04-10T20:20:24+00:00

In the early days of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, we were all about the monsters. We chased base set Charizards and Lugias, often treating Trainer cards as mere utility. That dynamic shifted in the mid-2010s. Today, Full-Art Supporters have transformed into the blue-chip indicators of the TCG market. These borderless illustrations of Gym Leaders, Champions, and rivals represent a unique intersection of character nostalgia, high-end art, and mechanical power. Let’s look at the 10 definitive cards every collector should know. Top Full-Art Supporter Cards in Pokémon Lillie (Ultra Prism 151) Lillie remains one of the best cards of the […]

Today we are taking a deep dive into the new Silverquill Influence Commander deck from the Secrets of Strixhaven release. This Orzhov (White-Black) preconstructed deck represents a fascinating shift for the color identity, moving away from simple life-drain and into the realm of political manipulation and weaponized eloquence. The deck is centered around its face commander, Killian, Decisive Mentor. He encourages a “don’t look at me” playstyle by goading your opponents’ creatures whenever you cast an enchantment. Even better, he rewards you with a card draw whenever those enchanted creatures attack your other opponents. In the current meta, which is […]

With the G regulation mark cards officially exiting Standard, we’ve lost foundational pillars like Iono, Gardevoir ex, and the ubiquitous Professor’s Research. We are now in a high-HP “arms race” defined by 340-HP Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. In this new era, consistency is one of the only things that matter. The good news? You don’t need to empty your savings to build a Tier 1 engine. Thanks to the rarity restructuring in recent sets like Ascended Heroes, the standard Double Rare (RR) versions of meta-defining cards are often a fraction of the cost of their gold-etched counterparts. Here are the […]

Back in April 2000, Pokémon TCG went through what I like to call its goth phase. The release of the Team Rocket expansion in April 2000 represented a watershed moment for Pokémon TCG. It was the first major departure from the established naturalistic themes of the Base, Jungle, and Fossil sets, introducing a narrative of corruption through the Dark Pokémon mechanic. The Team Rocket set is also historically significant for introducing several structural precedents that have become staples of the modern TCG. It was the first set to feature a Secret Rare card, the first to include holofoil treatments for […]

The Commander format is currently grappling with what I call the free spell problem. It’s a familiar scenario, you’ve finally established a board state and find an opening to cast your game-ending threat, only to have it stopped by a Fierce Guardianship or Deflecting Swat from an opponent who is completely tapped out. While these cards are undeniably powerful, their high price tags often make players feel like they’re losing to a wallet rather than a better strategy. In the current market, these free staples remain significant financial barriers to entry for many players. The Economy of Interaction in 2026 […]

*Pokémon TCG Hot/Cold List for the Week of April 13, 2026 The Pokémon secondary market for the week of April 21, 2026, is a wide-open wild west, defined by the fallout of the Standard format rotation and a massive influx of anniversary-driven FOMO (fear of missing out). This week’s list highlights four cards riding a tidal wave of demand and one classic icon that is starting to feel the post-rotation chill as players shift their capital toward the new Mega Evolution meta.

Welcome back to our weekly pulse check on the vintage market. Today, we’re diving into Gym Heroes, or G1 as it’s often noted in set lists, which changed the game back in August 2000. This set was a major departure from the Base-Jungle-Fossil era because it moved away from biological species and introduced Owner’s Pokémon, cards tied to the specific rosters of Kanto’s Gym Leaders like Brock and Misty. In this list, we’re breaking down the five heaviest hitters currently dominating the market. The banned Sabrina’s Gengar, the high-energy Blaine’s Moltres, the aesthetic masterpiece Erika’s Dragonair, the meta-dominant Rocket’s Scyther, […]

UPPER DECK :: Award Winning Game Designer Devin Low Returns to Marvel Legendary® With Legendary®: Second Edition – Here’s His Notes :: Author admin

2026-04-21T18:00:43+00:00

Devin Low returns to Legendary®: A Marvel Deck Building Game! The game designer behind the fan favorite Legendary® game engine came back to work on the revamped Core Set, Legendary®: Second Edition. Here’s what Devin Low had to say in the Legendary®: Second Edition Designer Notes.

Product depicted for demonstration purposes only and is subject to change without notice. © 2026 The Upper Deck Company. © 2026 Marvel. Ages 14+

Back in 2012, working on what would become Legendary®, I thought, “Hey, there could be something really cool here – I hope I don’t mess this up.” Ten plus years, over thirty-five expansion boxes, two thousand five hundred twenty-one unique Marvel Legendary® cards, and seven spinoff Legendary® brands later, I’m thrilled to see that there was indeed something really cool here. The scope of the game and the player community stagger me with gratitude. The number of people who have played Legendary® continues to grow every year.

Of course, when making that original Core Set, I also messed some things up! Over the years, I have learned a lot about what to do and what to avoid when making expansion sets. But those lessons could never go back and change the Core Set – it was already locked in the past. Many things went well in the first Core Set, but with the benefit of hindsight, many things could have been better.

For example, those first Masterminds were too easy to defeat. They didn’t have enough unique abilities to distinguish them from each other. Black Widow and Rogue were too strong. Spider-Man and Thor were too weak. The original solo mode had too few Master Strikes and ended too quickly. Many core set Villains’ abilities didn’t evoke the feel of their powers as much as I would like. Juggernaut helped players way too much. And so on and so on.

In most areas of life, you look back fondly on the things that went well and wistfully at things you regret. But you can’t change the past. But what if…you could? What if… you could harness the Time Stone to reach back in time and fix those mistakes from 2012?? Redesigning the Core Set has felt like a dialogue with my 2012 self and a very rare chance to change and improve the choices of the past. With this Core Set Second edition, I seized the opportunity to use everything I’ve learned over the years to make this the best possible Legendary® core set. I want it to be the perfect on-ramp for the next generation of players, while having enough compelling new content, redesigned cards, and improvements to be heartily welcomed by players who have already been playing for many years.

Mostly, I just wanted to say thank you to the many Legendary® players who have played the game over the last twelve years and all the years to come. I’m filled with appreciation for the welcoming, creative Legendary® community who are always there to answer each other’s rules questions and cheer each other’s big wins. I’m grateful to the talented, hard-working art, brand, and production experts at Upper Deck. I’m grateful to external playtesters whose feedback helps so much to improve the sets. I’m grateful to Marvel, which has been doing amazing storytelling that has enchanted and inspired me for decades. I’m grateful to my parents for some key advice. I’m grateful to my family – Lindsey, Alana, Piper, and Melody – for putting up with me working so much on Legendary® on nights and weekends. Designing the game and its expansions for all these years has been a joy and an honor, and I look forward to more to come.
