Blue 9 is a winner. Any 10 is a unicorn in my opinion. Surprised that the one that ended today was fairly low.

I know for sure one of them is toast as I pulled a blue that was jacked and sent it back to topps.

Ended up buying a raw and got a 9 so im good.

The QA on ‘22 Chrome Update was a joke. Great card either way.

Here are the ones I was able to acquire. Pretty happy with these on a limited budget.

That’s fantastic! It’s frustrating to me that the greens and aquas are easier to gem than the blues and refractor

What do you think a fair price on a 9 is? $350?

Looking to go Witt hunting by busting some wax.

My budget is around $200.

I'd love to open a variety of boxes.

Currently looking at:
2022 HHN
2022 Topps UK
2022 Topps Chrome Update

Any feedback on these choices? I have heard there were many QA issues with 2022 Chrome Update.

Heritage for sure

UK is VERY niche

TCU is garbage

In your opinion, does UK have room to grow (if I were to hit color)?

Any other boxes I should look at? Or am I better of double or tripling up on HHN? Note - I realize the type of product Heritage is and enjoy double and triple checking the cards I pull for various variations.

UK is tough because most of the color was dinged (they are all the last card in packs). TCU is just a gamble with 1 color or auto per box and majority of the boxes being incredibly bad centering.

I busted a case of UK and it's fun and pulled a JRod /50 but 3 corners were white. Only thing I gemmed were the Redux inserts.

A couple of nice Bobby autographs on the way back from PSA. The USA Chrome is from Royals open batting practice back in March before opening day. The dual chrome started with Bobby last year at a PSA submission event he attended at one of the LCS I go to. Finished it up this year with MJ through a paid signing.

You’ve talked me out of UK and Chrome Update.

I’m either going to buy 3 boxes, or save up to bust a case.

I have been doing this. Hard to believe it will ever be too much lower than the $600 or so that I am in on each of them. Seems like a solid floor to me.

Can’t go wrong with just snagging a Real One. Us slabbers stay away since Heritage and most 22’ since it was blah quality. Great cards to collect

I definitely recommend that. I picked up a case in June for $530 at DA.

His statcast speed is quite literally off the charts. Does the team hold him back from stealing for strategy or asset preservatives?
