It seems inconsistent to me. If I had to guess, the shorter version is signed when he’s in a rush and on stickers and longer version when he’s not in a rush

Same here I just enjoy watching grown men think they actually have the power to bully a giant corporation into giving them what they want by whining and complaining on forums and YouTube videos.

Should have gone with my idea of making blacks online exclusives. I suggested 99.99 per pack but at 49.99, they'd still make a killing.

1 pack. 12 cards per pack. 1 card will be a black parallel /75 guaranteed. $49.99.

Series 1,2, update.

950 x 75 = 71,250 total of each card.
71,250 x 49.99 = 3,561,787.5
3.5 mil just for the blacks online exclusive.

They really do put months into selecting the final one.
Amazed they spent all that manpower and time to come up with the last wo years' designs.

Well...to me it makes that 1/1 auto suspicious. The "J" doesn't look the same.

Merrill is also the guy who left his entire print run of Immaculate cards in his apartment when he moved out. And never collected cards growing up, so I'm sure he really does not care about having a nice signature on them.

Any guesses on where the Larry David autos settle $-wise? Bummed it’s a redemption but I’m going to try to snag one at some point.

Almost as amusing as grown men concocting ludicrous conspiracy theories.

His TV show helped clear a man of murder thanks to a baseball game. They were filming during an afternoon Dodger game and the guy was in the shot, solidifying his alibi.

I think they'll need to do all they can to sell Series 2 if the MLB clubs don't start the year with the likes of Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, Jac Caglianone, Bubba Chandler, Christian Moore, Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel, Matt Shaw, Deyvision De Los Santos and more! Otherwise I feel Series 2, Black Parallels or not, will be abysmal! Sasaki won't be able to carry the set like Skenes did for 2024 Update.
