Sweet! I picked up a PSA 10 gold ref of the card way back in Oct/Nov

The 4/5 that was listed with a high BIN/OBO finally sold a few days prior to the one that was in auction. If I recall correctly, there was one that sold last Apr/May timeframe for around $900. This was right around the same time I picked up the US1 Camo /25. I remember wishing I worked out a deal for the TCU red, but I didn’t see it until after it sold. At that time I was mainly focused on NNOs and US1 parallels.

These Reds only come around every so often, so when they do you have to jump on it or you may never get a chance at these price levels again. Surprised to see 3 of the 5 sell within 9 months. I still haven’t seen a #201 Red available since then. I suppose it’s due to one of the members on here holding onto 3 of them. I see great potential in the NNOs, US1s, 340s, 201s, 21s, and feel that each of them will be in high demand soon enough. Whichever one turns out to be the go-to rookie is fine by me. I think they’ll all be very collectible and valuable in the future.

I wish I was able to double down during the Oct dip but the one card I got for a steal ended up getting shipped to the wrong person and the seller had to cancel the transaction. It was a TC Gold Wave Auto BGS 10/10 I picked up for $500. One just sold for $1,200. I waited nearly a month in hopes the seller would be able to get the card back but he ended up having to refunding me in the end.

Best of luck to all of those on the Vladdy train! I believe 2021 will be a great year to be onboard.

Good memory. -> I have the US1 red purchased in APRIL I also have one of the other US201 red along with rngr having 3 I think. That leaves 2 US1 reds unaccounted for and 1 US201 reds unaccounted for. I almost was a buyer of the latest US1 red but decided against it since I already had one lol. Maybe someone here picked it up.

I guess handling multiple returns at a time isn’t a big deal for Probstein. I stopped buying any ungraded cards they sell due to receiving poor quality cards in the past. I wish they would at least scan the back of the cards and note any visible defects. Had I not seen this same card sell earlier last year with the damage clearly noted in the listing, I probably would have thought that was a glare in the photo/scan. Sorry for whoever will have to deal with the latest return on this one.

I couldn’t care less about the rest of Panini, but I think a logo exception should be made for Flawless. None of Topps’ attempts at high-end super packs have come close to being this classy. (Maybe Dynasty. But even then...eh.)

I thought that was a little low. I would have pushed it over $300 but I thought these looked like scratches



There's a true-gem BGS 9.5 on ebay for $475 and a PSA-10 for $700 on myslabs for comparison.

Even his ‘20 sapphires are showing some life. They’re still cheap, but that’s starting to change. They had been $10-$12, and tonight one sold for $23–which is more than an Allen & Ginter Chrome orange /25 went for a couple hours earlier.

That could be a good way to turn $20-$25 into $100 within a few months...

Those do look like scratches. Either way, it’s a healthy jump from the sub-$200 sales a couple months ago. Heck, even a low-end 9.5 sold for $217 last month. (You know, the kind that has three 9.5’s and a 9 sub-grade.)

God I love Flawless. I wish I had fallen in love with it a few years ago because they're starting to get pricey but I was lucky enough to get in while they were still cheap and I'm very grateful.

I love everything about this Vladdy RC. One of only 36 total base cards (across all parallels) for Vladdy in Flawless. Holo Platinum Blue, /5, double diamond, minimalist and elegant design, as always.

Not a monster, but I snagged this one yesterday on COMC for 12 bucks! Being up here in Canada where no one will ship to, I usually can't get lower priced cards... if I do find someone to ship up here, then the minimum charge is usually 11 bucks, so it's not even worth it. Love finding ones to add to my collection on COMC for a reasonable price!

Dude! You must’ve snagged that about five seconds after it listed. I’ve been searching for some nice second-years on COMC lately—and that would definitely qualify.

Hahahaha must have just gotten lucky. I search a few times a day, nothing too crazy. I was actually surprisde to see a nice one on there!

I also grabbed these 2 last week... again, nothing earth shattering, but 11.75 for the Sterling Blue, 11.50 for the TC gold, and 6.00 for the Gypsy blue. Nice shiny affordable ones for my collection!

All great pickups.

I recently snagged a ‘20 sapphire and every underpriced ‘20 Topps SP photo variation. (Five of them in $6-$7 range.)

Im hoping one of the members here won that beautiful Reverence Patch Auto auctioned by griffan last night.
Incredible card and the end price was pretty reasonable(in the parlance of our times)

Not too familiar with his prices but it seemed very reasonable to me. I threw a $185 snipe at it in fact.

I was the second highest bidder at 205.55. I didn't really want the card because I don't believe in any of those "game used" cards... I think they're all a scam lol. Just took a shot at it in case I could get it at a cheap price

Yeah GU/Event Used/Worn for 30 secs at a photo shoot I tend do agree the swatch doesn't mean much to me either but visually a really good looking card(all the 19 reverence) and a very tough pull from flagship. If he (or Tatis) prove to be superstars those cards could be very important long term IMO.

I will post it once it arrives! I have been scouting a nice Reverence card for half a year and this checked all my boxes to go big.

Sweet- please do.
If I wasn't such a poverty stricken chickenshit I wouldve pushed you higher. GREAT pickup IMO congrats.

Out of curiousity, what was your max bid?
