Prizm is definitely an easier grade, but Prizm has been rough. Chrome style cards are less condition sensitive for sure.

I have noticed that this year especially. The fronts are generally pretty clean but so many rough areas on the edges and corners. Most of the ones I've seen are pretty hard on the eyes.

QA is lacking in most of the releases the past few seasons in general really. It's been going downhill.

1st class gatekeeping. Kudos.

Not wanting cards you collect to be pumped causing you to have to spend more money near term if you want to continue collecting them is gatekeeping now? Okay pal.

I think this is the nicest Vortex they've done. Very nice!

Agreed. I’m actually attempting to collect the Vortex set in football with the Cosmic parallel (/100) as I think they pop.

I do like the blue foil a lot. Cosmics look great.

Default asia tmall?

Does anyone have any intel on the asia tmall release? I saw/see some auto cards on ebay (I checked the backs and they are 23-24 and asia (not CNY)). I can't find any boxes or the non-auto parallels anywhere.

I know it was quite a while after hobby/cny release last year before asia came out, just surprised I saw some cards out already.

Sunburst is a beautiful parallel.

I bought the Luka on FB for $300 so that is looking like a really good deal at this point. Long way to go but here's what I have so far out of the 25 card set:



Congratulations on whoever got the Wemby. I had my eyes on it before this was posted and this definitely brought more eyes to it and it likely started a bidding war lol.

It wasn't me but I was watching too. I know of one other sale on Instagram and it was for $1700 so this was right in line with that one...if it gets paid for. I honestly thought it would go for at least $2K.

Does anyone have any info on approximate odds or print run of the image variation SSP? I pulled a Wemby last night and there are only a few active/sold on eBay. I only opened 2 boxes but not sure if these are case hits or maybe tougher? Here is a link if anyone wants to check it out
