It’s a mixture of buyers. There’s still money to be made in buying higher end singles at release, grading, then flipping quickly. You’re drawing your conclusions based on your own habits and what others on Blowout do. Blowout is a small segment of the hobby. I wouldn’t draw hard conclusions from what you see here.
You're just trolling me if you think I was speaking in absolutes as if there is no exception. That's absurd. If you read my followup comments it's clear I was speaking generally.

Then why bother even responding to his post to disagree with him if you actually agree that what he said is possible?

This. And it sucks as a Pirate 'fan'. The only good thing about the Pirates is that they make you a fan of other team's players in order to forget how sh*tty the organization is. They are the reason why I have nice cards of non-Pirates players.

When I was a kid, there was no chance of this. Pirates all day! Not anymore

Those are their “blowout rc’s”, or you could say their “blowhard rc’s”. Perhaps more fitting.

As a kid my parents took us to opening day every year. I played baseball. I loved baseball. It was my sport.

I vividly remember as an 8 year old watching the Sid Bream play on tv. So much of my youth way baseball.

And now, I detest them. Not the players but the ownership and all he represents. So much so that when I got the email from Wigle Whiskey (a local company I loved) about Bob Nutting buying them, I unsubscribed and haven’t bought a single thing from them since. He is a scourge to Pittsburgh.

$3500 Julio was paid for! Hope the buyer bought the second copy as well.

That's tremendous news. Wow. Not that I think these are a $3500 card, probably closer to $2k, but it's one more off the market on a really nice looking Jrod and extremely low print run.

Acuna Sapphire BGS 9.5 or JRod Logofractor raw?

I think that's a matter of preference. Anyone who doesn't think some of the luster of Acuna is fooling themselves. I'm balls deep on Acuna, but can't deny his stuff is down.

Baseball wise, Acuna had the better rookie year and was a year younger.

Hobby wise, going into next year I imagine Julio is the guy.

Oh yeah, I completely agree.

Just curious how people feel. Sapphire Bat Down is iconic. It’s why Sapphire is what it is today. There are a few hundred copies. Last BGS 9.5 went for $2500.

Long term, Logofractor is going to be regarded how?

Need to see how they do him an Update. For example, if his base rookie in Update is some horizontal garbage picture, then the logofractor will be one of his more iconic rookies. Just my opinion of course, but Im bullish as I think the design and aesthetic on the logofractor image is extremely high.

The inaugural key set that launched the key card of the key Superstar rookie from 2022 ( that would be JROD #111 for those who have not been paying attention this Season )

I have only been able to find a few breaks on YouTube. Hoping to see more cracked soon before I decide what to do with mine.

That should end the discussion right there.
RC symbol is for idiots.
They are rookies just people don't want them to be rookies because of their agendas.

The ESPs and I would think more relevant to this conversation the Sonic Fractor are also in play here.

What does it mean for the logofractor if the same image is used in sonicfractor, and the ESP for that matter?

Acuna Sapphire for me.

Again, only time will tell. We have no idea what the Sonic format, let alone image is. Have we even seen an ESP yet?

Looks like a couple of sales of base packs. 10 went for $33.50 and 200 for $400. Looks like these could settle around $2 per pack or less. Unless there is something else in the packs besides base.

Isn’t a base Wander the best card you can hit from them? That’s a $10 card right now. I wouldn’t pay a quarter for those packs.
