I love them, too. Really stunning, especially the Titan Gold parallels. I thought the product looked really nice when it came out, but I didn’t fully get it till I had one in hand.

Not a big fan of the base, but Flux hobby has beautiful inserts and encased autos. Some of the base parallels look nice too, though. I really don't understand the hate (in the hobby version).

Pistol heat.

Curious to see where this Maxey gold influx winds up. It's generated a lot of bids and not much upward price momentum.

Would you say that flux silvers have a print run around 500, like the early Prizm?

Ok so here are some of the nicest cards I got from Hobby boxes...

The craziest thing? Pulling a Luka Exosphere AND a Ja Thermosphere in the SAME blaster...

I am one troposphere card away from completed the Atmosphere set.

You underrate crash (wouldn't have actually traded those for the bird) and ball. Who in the class do you rate highly?

That Ja is fire. Had to be handled with blue gloves.

In other news, in a vain attempt to pump value into my flux mavs hot case, I started a painting on the back of the framed piece. The back also has affixed a ticket from Dirk's retirement ceremony, as sent.

These about 3 weeks ago deep in the desert, beyond the reach of Internet, a start. In case you are wondering what that pipe-like attachment is running out from Luka's arm, it's an old oil well gushing carbon-negative magic.

I don't really underestimate Ball, I was very happy to pull that redemption, eventhough I don't really appreciate the auto influx design to be honest.

Thus, it is always the same thing with rookies, hyper hype and then not much happens. There are only a happy few to reach stardom, superstardom.

The real treat was the JT FC. This is a gem to me.

And yes the Ja Sunrise... I don't see many Sunrises around. Less common than supernova / Solar eclipse / Lunar eclipse...

Hope KPJ will keep playing like he did on the 2nd half of this season. Very happy with the black 1/1

PS: I'll keep in mind your love for Crash

My Luka Lunar Eclipse is on the way from Australia to Miami as we speak.

Help me out, what’s the easiest way to post pics here? I want to show my flux collection so far, not a ton but some fun stuff.
