Take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt because I’ve never submitted anything, but just to address some of your other concerns… I could be mistaken but I think in the context of sportscards, CGC gets the lowest premiums out of the 4 companies you named. Can anyone confirm? Regarding #2, tha...

I really can't tell which direction they're going to take this... keep SGC around as a 'cheap' option, but probably raise prices slightly to make up for the acquisition and just slowly fade it out in 5-10 years... or scrap it immediately and run some brief promo where SGC slabs can be crossed over t...

Nice phat Albert and Junior Gold Label! I remember 98 Gold Label being my favorite set for a couple years back when it was released, absolutely loved the look of it and the chance of hitting 1/1's.

He's going to be in a bunch of clubs where he's the only member by the time he's done.

Yesterday Tyrese Haliburton recorded a 26/10/13 triple double. This stat line (or better) with 0 turnovers has only occurred 7 other times before in NBA history. Nikola Jokic has done it TWICE in the past week... Of all the "video game numbers" being produced this year, Joker stays the mo...

It's always been mostly ebay and comc for me. Though I will say over the last couple months the pickups feel few and far between. I've never had much success on IG or Facebook. Probably a handful of deals. Just really rare that people have Kings cards at all, and usually they're overpriced. ebay an...

ebay and facebook. The guys who list regularly and have something of a following on the big fb groups seem to do very well. I do need to ramp up my activity on my ig again, which I plan on doing asap.

Thanks for the reply Frank - I will look into SGC, I don't think I was giving them enough thought before, so thanks for the rec!

Hey all, So the very first show I plan on setting up as a dealer at is coming up in a little over 2 months. I had planned on subbing a bunch of the very best of the low-mid range raw stuff I've purchased over the past 3-4 years, or however long it's been since I submitted anything [was definitely pr...

what he's doing right now is just insane. I think it's possible he's gotten better, again.

Nice pickups on the Stars, and agreed on the Nique - one of his best action shots captured on a card.

Fun topic idea! And I've been meaning to grab a KCP, and now this gives me a better idea of which one I'd like to grab.

Might do Hawks too, but maybe with a twist - especially since their opening night loss to Charlotte

holy moly that Big Ben A*S patch! So nice

I think it's likely a positive for the Bucks, definitely a positive for the Blazers, and a risky positive for Phx. The positive spin for Milwaukee is they go from Giannis being the main offensive driver and Jrue the main defensive to Dame being the prime offensive driver and Giannis the defensive. C...

Love that Gold Junior!

I would say skills-wise he's up there. It's hard to deny at this point, I don't think anyone else in the history of the game has his combination of skills on offense at this level. I have Kareem #1 all-time - gets the nod over MJ due to longevity [It's gotta count for something, right?], with Lebron...

Great stuff - love the pictures of the Hot Shots, hadn't seen that level of detail before in a pic online.

Wow I'd forgotten about those! Very sweet card Deadshot

I posted this on 'the other forum that shall not be named' but for me the most interesting thing about the lawsuit, is that it gives an insight into Panini's operations / production chain and why their release schedule has not recovered post the pandemic. The lawsuit describes how Panini has for a ...

Yes! This was mine for a few years!

Ok, patch autos aren't in my area of expertise, but I don't think you're going to find something from a really good set and game worn for under $150. I do see you can get RC year stuff like 2017 Immaculate RPAs for under $100. I generally care more about on-card autos than having a guy in licensed s...

Are we talking any year of Olson? Or only in Braves uniform?

More affordable in the offseason is tough to say, especially given that his contract is ending and he's almost certainly going to a new team and will rile up a new fanbase. Especially if it's the Dodgers, which looks like a good possibility. And if he doesn't sign elsewhere right away in the offseas...

^I was also unaware of that... I mostly 'dabble' a bit in futbol but have more lately been focused on some key vintage stuff that I like. I will be more on the lookout for this set now, thanks!
