Seems like this HUGE INVESTMENT PLAYER AND CARD would fail eBay's Authentication Guarantee with how the picture compares to the context of the description. Too bad that wasn't a Pokemon card.

Ordered a jumbo box from Topps 2/15. Marked as shipped 2/17. Arrived FedEx 2/20 8:13pm. At that time the estimated delivery was 2/21. Yeah right. That quickly became...

Then later on 2/21, it updated to:

And today, it's still in Florida, so it updated to:

Is it snowing in Florida?

Sub .200 BA in the minors past two years and likely a major flop from the Mookie trade. Yet, seeing variations and autos for over $100 on eBay, pure insanity.

and yet NO Triston Casas on-card autos...only one crap sticker insert set.

CTSportsboy57 · 02-22-2023, 02:32 PM

Jumbo at my local card shop was $180...now up to $270.

Near Mint or Better? Seller may be trying to screw someone, but they're shooting themselves in the foot and won't get it past the authenticator...

Is Near Mint or Better GREATER than Excellent?

I always err on the side of caution and say Very Good

Stech36 · 02-22-2023, 06:51 PM

Opened another jumbo case.

It was pretty odd, but good.

Along with the 1/1 above, I hit the following:

2 silver pack autos - Morel and Riley Greene
0 #’d refractor silver packs
And 10 green foil

Just odd.

Still has 1 shy of 10x more At Bats than Trey Amburgey, who secured a spot in the Topps Baseball set last year with just 4 At Bats. Lifetime.

Snagged some loose jumbo packs from 2 LCS's...hit this beauty.

ObanMontecristo · 02-22-2023, 10:30 PM

Opened another jumbo box today- got an Adley silver pack chrome auto /99 to pair with the black auto /199 I hit in the case last week. Having a lot of fun with the jumbos….

EDIT- also hit an AKA in the same box (Baez), Peraza base ‘88 auto, and a Trout green /499.

MrRazorback · 02-22-2023, 11:34 PM

I'm wanting to pick up a couple SSPs, but I'm trying to wait them out. Is it possible we see cheaper PSA 9s for sale once these start coming back from grading?

1000%

That's a good plan, you'll just have to worry about TBP snagging them before you can.

I got 3 in my jumbo case. Nothing to write home about, as the best was an Orioles team card, but I still killed the odds, so I win?

In other news, if anyone needs a Taylor Rogers or Kendall Graveman Gold Mirror SSP to finish the bounty, I'm your guy.

Anyone else see that article about the marketing firm that purchased 150 cases of S1 in attempt to put together the golden mirrors?

the stated average is around 1.3 per Jumbo, so they won't be close.
i got 10 in 8 Jumbo cases and 6 in 8 Hobby Cases.

I think they still had 120 unopened cases, and were less than 40 cards away from completing it. Moving to the singles market I believe.

Will be interesting to see the accounting when it's over, they said they would release it.
