Thanks for your insight. Made my decision even that much easier. Never doubting the power of social media ever again.

I wish I was "smart" and had a TON of PSA 10 Prizm base, but I don't. Would have loved to turn 50 Lukas into a down payment on a house in a few weeks time.

Pretty nice Luka mail day. Thankfully, no straky auto's!

Something that is not often mentioned is the global expansion of the hobby as a result of social media and eBay. I can now connect to buyers anywhere in the world. Many of these international buyers don't have easy access to PSA or BGS.

Globalization of the hobby is terrific, and I hope it continues.

Thanks! Pretty excited myself. I’m not the biggest fan of redemptions. But, it was Luka and the price was right, so I figure I’d take the risk. I’m grateful it worked out

Bingo. Regarding Gary V, I know people have there thoughts on him and the pump and dump to his followers. Which, I agree with. However, he is bringing in a lot of new faces/money to the hobby, which is never a bad thing. As long as you’re not the one holding inflated base gem bag, you’re all good.

Beautiful cards, congrats! Are they maybe shipping in batches, or what? I have 3 of the 4 Moments, redeemed them in November and still no update in my account. Would calling them help? I'm refreshing my emails every 30 mins since 2 weeks they've started shipping ...

Thanks! I think they started shipping last week. Just got mine. I would give it time. I think they go by when it was redeemed. Shouldn’t be too much longer though!

Optic Holo I sent in with Josh just popped as a PSA 10! Premium Box came back a PSA 9. Will look good next to my Choice PSA 9.

Shipped to PSA on 2/10. It was a Standard sub. Expected date was 3/13, so poppage today was nice.

Awesome! I've been sending him stuff weekly for standard recently and have been a bit worried about getting it back by mid April. This is sounding promising.

I haven't looked at eBay sale prices for the last 36 hours.

Someone bought up all the PSA 10 Luka Holo for what I considered a ridiculous price 5 days ago. $2000 a pop.

One on auction at $2100 with a day left on bidding.

That was mine that sold for $2000. I posted it at that as a ridiculous price but it still sold. Probably could've held out for $2100!

Those aren't even in the same ballpark price wise. Obviously the Optic and Silver have taken off and a PSA 10 is gonna be 2K whereas theres a PSA 10 Blue Phoenix on eBay right now with a $799 BIN. Having said that if you are contemplating dropping 2K on a card my guess is that at some point in the future you will have some additional expendable income to spend as well on a high dollar card so I would snag the blue now since even at this time there are only 3 on eBay and it is BEAUTIFUL and then grab a Silver/Holo in the offseason.
