Varying issues, but not too far off from submission rate from 2020. In 4 cases I've opened (2 hobby, 2 retail) my Adell & Bohms were in great shape whereas Pache & Garcia were so OC that I only submitted 1 out of ~50 on each.

Thank you for figuring at my problem! I mainly have been looking at Pache and Garcia. I'm up to around 30 of each, and maybe 1 or 2 are worth submitting.

My Bohms haven't been as good as yours, but I haven't looked at as many of them yet.

Yeah, I did a grind through the top ~10 to get a submission in before the PSA price increases. I am in the process of opening another retail cases and now have a few more Pache and Garcia, but with new prices won't be submitting those for awhile, I think.

I'm kicking myself for not getting some out the door.

It's going to be an interesting gamble in submitting. I'm sure many people rushed some in, but the price increases should still keep the number of 10's down.

The question is if you submit the top guys at $25, will you recuperate the difference in PSA's increase due to the scarcity the increase creates.

I will likely roll the dice a submit a few at $25.

If you have 48 Home Run Challenge cards does that mean you purchased Waayyyy too much Series 1? Asking for a friend.

Nope. Just sounds like you’ve got pretty good odds of winning a trip to the home run derby.

I'm finding most cards are in OK condition, but not many I would submit thinking they'll get 10's. This has been across formats (Megas, blasters, hangers, hobby, blisters).

I'm trying to figure out why the ran them over a cheese grater before they put them in packs...

On a serious note, I'm buying from eBay and the condition issues have been a huge disappointment to me. I was under the impression that part of the reason for higher prices early is you'd get better condition on average. That simply hasn't been the case for me. I've don't better with Gallo and his cards are from 2012 and 2015!

Specific players; I've done very well on Adell and Paredes, very poorly on Bart, and decent on Garcia. Somehow I have a couple of Bohm in there even though I haven't bought a single one (came in lots with others).

Damn, I have 8 and I thought I have wasted too much money.

Still have seen none here.

Question for the group. I pulled an Acuna auto and want to find the best way to protect it and display it. Bought a one touch 35 point case at Wally World but the card rattles around inside. Will the card fit in a 20 point case?

crazy4kinsler · 03-06-2021, 08:55 PM

Went to the LCS today. They didn't have any Jumbos (never got any in), but they had hobby packs for $10/each. I passed. BTW, these are new owners that took over last year mid-year, so not the same people that used to overcharge for new product.

Wow, my LCS was selling hobby packs for $5 each and I thought that was on the high side.

Probably, but it will certainly fit nicely in a fresh penny sleeve and top loader!
Congrats on the great hit, you should share a picture.

I had shared it earlier in the thread, but here it is again. I had in penny and top loaded... looking for something better for my office collection.

Is this likely the black? Since there is also a platinum /70 and I haven’t handled any 2021 parallels, I’m struggling to tell. I buy a Scherzer black every year, so don’t want a platinum instead.

Thanks!

Yea, borders on platinum have the 70th logo

Do the tin exclusive chromes have parallels?

They did last year

Coach Ditka · 03-07-2021, 03:17 PM

Just opened 2 of my 6 hangers I ordered from Target the other day. I was surprised to pull a Jordan Montgomery auto in the first & a Luis Robert Major League Materials from the second along with about half the rookies. Makes me wonder might be in the other 4 ...
I did get my 2nd dose of the vaccine earlier today so we'll see how I feel later. All but maybe 1 corner looked really good i.e. much better than the hobby box.
