Finally got my hands on a Silver Metal.

It’ll be interesting to see how these are treated over time. They have the same print run as black refractors, but they’re not Chrome and they appear to be a one-off.

That Vladdy high end market isn’t slowing down…

Just got this today. I love current players on old school looking cards.

…And this is now, hands down, the ugliest Vlad rookie I own. But I’ve committed to collecting all the Vlad TBT rookies, so gotta take the good with the bad.

AhahahAHah ya that Crystal Ball one is just terrible. Did you get all the TBT ones? I picked up a few awhile back, a few of them are quite nice. If I remember right, that kids one was the lowest printed.

I’m still working on them.

I’m slowly working on gathering them, because not too long I could’ve had them all for about $10 each. Prices have since creeped up (or shot up, in some cases), so I’m being patient and waiting for deals.

The kids one has a print run in the 300’s, and it’s worse than the Crystal Ball! But because it’s so rare, people are throwing money at it. And I really don’t want to pay a premium for that thing.

Ya the kids one is super ugly too lol. I picked one up on comc awhile back for like 5.50 just because it was one of the more limited ones. That one and this one here are the only 2 I own. I really like this 95 Bowman one! Great pic and great design.

You mean like this?

I do wish they had photographed Vlad in the same pose, but it’s fun to pair them regardless.

Edit: I should say “same exact pose,” wearing a cap rather than helmet, and facing the camera. Because they are both in the same general stance.

I was looking into picking up a heritage RC auto and was curious what thoughts are towards the heritage vs. heritage high number autos. Is there one preferred over the other? The image on the high number is the same as his parallels and what bot so not sure if that makes it more desirable. Thanks for any input!

There doesn’t seem to be a huge difference in price, though my bias leads me to think there’s a slight tilt toward the blue-jersey mystery auto. It came out first, and it’s a better-looking card.

It’s more a case of going with your preference, and you’re likely not to go wrong either way.

That was awesome, watched the entire thing.

I probably watched 70% of the games and I didn't remember him hitting that many to right. I used to think Acuna was the king of the right-field homers, but Vladdy might catch him next year. That was even more impressive than I remembered!

Indeed. I see it got its own thread now, too.

Just put a Prizm Rookie Kaleidoscope Auto /35 PSA 10 up in BST. Pop 2, only 3 graded. Group price is pretty tasty.

ThoseBackPages · 10-26-2021, 10:25 AM

easy pass

eye4talent · 10-26-2021, 01:07 PM

Yesterday was a bit of a golden mail day. First, the gold foil 1/1 from my favorite product…

And the gold Bowman Chrome also arrived. I have a purple sitting at COMC, so “all I need” is the superfractor. If anyone has a beat on it……..
