• BIG WIN for the PC! 🐅🔥

    Posted by kyberforged on September 17, 2026 at 10:55 am

    Finally landed this 2020 Panini Chronicles Joe Burrow Clear Vision Purple rookie, and this one was a card I really wanted. /49 and a PSA 9. The Clear Vision design is just nasty, and having it in a slab just looks insane!

    Burrow is one of those guys where I’d much rather own a cool, low-numbered rookie like this than chase every new release that comes out.

    And being a Cincinnati guy, this one hits a little different.

    Definitely one of those pickups where I’m sitting there afterward thinking… yeah, I’m really happy I pulled the trigger on that one.

    What’s a card you’ve bought recently that immediately felt like a WIN?

    I picked up the 2026 Leaf Anime Nation Fernando Mendoza. Sent it off to Degree for grading and got a 9 on it. Will look nice in my PC for sure.

      Can’t wait to see this slab! Did you customize the color?

        I did not customize the color. I sent it off before that was a thing. Then when it came back it had the wrong year on the tag so it’s currently back with Degree for corrections. Should be headed back to me soon and I’ll post pics when it arrives.

          Can’t wait to see it! I hope it was an easy process to get it fixed.

            The process itself was relatively easy. It *was* and exercise in patience though. Took forever to get a response from them and then just as long to get the prepaid label to send it back. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how fast the correction has gone.

            That’s great to hear it was taken care of. It’s amazing they don’t have dedicated people to respond to issues.

      That’s a pretty cool PC card, especially with the 9. Hopefully the corrected slab makes its way back quickly. I’d definitely be curious to see it once you get it back—Leaf cards can look really sharp in a slab.

        For sure! There’s something extra satisfying about finally grabbing a card that’s been sitting on your want list for a while. Those are usually the pickups that end up meaning the most in the PC. Appreciate it! 🙌

      for sure is a sweet card and looks clean as heck. should have been a 10

        Yeah, sometimes you just look at the card and wonder what the grader was seeing 😂. It looks super clean to me. A 10 would’ve definitely felt right, but I’m still happy with a 9 if it’s a card I really wanted for the PC.

        Same here until I came across it! Then it immediately hit my Wishlist. That’s one of the things I love about collecting—there are always cards you’ve somehow never seen before. Definitely one that caught my eye right away.

    The clear visions are awesome! As a Buffalo guy my grail is my PSA 10 Josh Rated Rookie. These past 2 weeks have helped that card a bunch lol

      Allen is on a tear. I’m hoping Burrow gets something together this year

        Absolutely! Allen has been an absolute beast. 😂 When a guy is producing like that, it makes those cards in the PC feel a whole lot better. Definitely a fun time to be holding one!

    I think he will! Zac Taylor kinda needs to get it together, but high hoped for Joe. I grabbed a PSA 9 Prism Black RC of his a month or 2 ago

      Yeah when he is healthy he is honestly one of the best QBs in league

        A healthy Burrow is absolutely insane. Heck really just give the man an o-line lol

          100% 😂 A healthy Burrow with even a halfway competent offensive line is a completely different problem. The guy can absolutely sling it, but he’s spent way too much of his career running for his life.

      Burrow is a great quarterback, I’m sure he will get something going!

        Absolutely. I think Burrow has shown enough to know what he can do when he’s healthy and has some protection. I’m just hoping the Bengals can keep him upright and give him a chance to really get rolling

    Yeah he can sling it. That LSU team was a top 3 college team of all time

      Absolutely. Burrow was ridiculous that season . That LSU team had so many future NFL guys on it that it felt like an NFL roster playing college football. Jefferson, Chase, Burrow, Clyde, Queen, Delpit… just loaded from top to bottom. That 2019 team is definitely one of the first ones that comes to mind when talking about all-time great college teams

        It’s tough to say they were better than 2001 Miami, but man is it a close one

          That team was tough too. So many pros off that lineup

            I think when talking pure star power, I’d rank that Miami team above LSU

            There’s also those Bama teams a few years later too. Basically the whole roster went to the NFL lol

    Definitely not wrong there. Didn’t we get get Derrek Henry, Mark Ingram, and who was the 3rd? But crazy backfield

    • kyberforged

      September 22, 2026 at 1:46 pm

      Yep! That Alabama backfield was ridiculous 😂. Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram were definitely two of them. The third was Trent Richardson — that’s an absolutely insane group of running backs to have come through the same program. And that’s not even getting into all the other NFL talent Alabama was putting out.

    Oh man Trent Richardson! What a throwback, and fall from grace. He was a fun watch
