I should know better.

About two years ago, I broke into my tatis stash after an ebay buyer cursed me for losing a $15 purple chrome. They were going for $35 or so.

Hmmm... what is up I thought?

Ended up grading nearly a hundred refractors and chrome out of 500+/- cards I picked up in 2017 breaks. Non first bowman was an afterthought at the time.

Still cashing in with another batch at BGS.

Just this past year, I graded two modern Washington quarters for top populations and flipped them for over $2K. They came from a mint roll cost me about 50 cents per coin each not including grading fees.


I earned my skills fairly, but still, feels like I am playing No Limit holdem' with one card showing.
