Is there an RC parallel of any famous player where the high numbered RC parallel sells for more than low number RC parallels within the same series? I am talking about Trout, Harper, Mookie etc; those kind of modern players and their RC parallels numbered less than 100. I personally feel people are behind Soto and Acuna black because of the history of returns on these black cards for players like Trout. Eye appeal is not the only reason for their demand. A parallel (numbered to 25) similar to camo/25 didn't exist in his 2011 TU series, so we might never know the real answer.

Pcp, good on you for giving a good honest opinion. Obviously so many people are pulling for the Acuna's they already have as the cards to get. I obviously absolutely love the Sapphire and think it is not just one of the best Acuna's to buy but one of the best Baseball cards in recent memory. Am I a little more biased than I would be if I didn't have one myself? Although I don't think so, most likely there is a little more affection I have for the card. Fwiw, even I think the prices on the Sapphire have risen WAY faster than even I expected. Still a great card to add to any collection though and will most likely be the 2018 RC card of his to get. I see why the rise has been so rapid and can see it climb more. Supply/demand. There will not be enough to go around if Acuna succeeds.

I think pcp is spot on. If you're going Long on Acuna & his talent and going Update then the Camo /25 at less than the Black /67 & Indy /76 is a much better buy in at this time. You are banking on history and supply/demand. If Acuna hits it big there will be collectors that want to make a run of his cards. For the short term maybe not so much the Camo, but if going long can't see how it doesn't make sense. It's like buying a Gold Shimmer /50 at less than a Blue Refractor /150 and even that is not the same as the Camo is a stand alone and doesn't have a similar /50.

That would make too much sense. Ha. Basically my whole collection is BGS with the only exception being a Gretzky OPC rookie which is PSA. I’ll hang on to this for a bit but probably not going into my PC.

Very happy with my 4 on-demand mini packs which arrived today:

Picked this up for around $50.

I know it's only High Tek, but I couldn't pass it up.

Man, I have to get my *&^%$#@ together, and get my sub prepared and sent out.
The only LCS within an hour drive of me doesn't have any card savers, and wont have them until after xmas.

Get them from Amazon. You will have them in a couple of days and have your sub out by the weekend.

Are card savers and toploaders the same?

No. Card Savers are semi rigid holders that are used for cards being sent in to get graded. PSA wants the cards to arrive in them for ease of getting them out.

That's what I'm going to do, but I keep procrastinating.
I have about 10k cards on my dining room table, so every day when I'm done being an adult, I sit down and make sets.
I need to order a couple of micro sd cards from Amazon this weekend, so I'll be sure to get a box of savers.

Pumped to get this in! To me, this tops a colored chrome gem 1st auto in the coolness category!

For those wondering, I started my offers at $2k (rejected), $2300 (rejected), $2650 (accepted). The seller sat on my last offer for at least 24 hours. I was shocked to see it accepted!

Be careful out there friends! Acuna Topps Heritage Red Auto #17/69 is back on sale again! It was sold by ebay user agentorange1982 (4598 ) as an auction on Dec 10th for $2916 and is listed again for sale today by a different ebay user uncc49er2012 (1559) who was not the winning bidder last time. I contacted uncc49er2012 (1559 ) on this and his response was user agentorange1982 and him jointly own the card and the winning bidder of the last week auction did not pay for the item. If you look at the last week auction bid history, uncc49er2012 (1559) also bid on it until $2501.

https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/14...p2047675.l2565

This just shows how different ebay users can come together and shill bid for each others items artificially inflating the price. Be careful out here!

I'm surprised he admitted to "jointly" owning the card when it's clear as day he was bidding on the original auction.
