    I’ve noticed color match has become a much bigger part of the hobby over the last few years.

    Some collectors will pay a premium for a parallel that perfectly matches the team’s colors, (even paying more for a higher number if it had a better color match) while others couldn’t care less if the card is numbered lower or simply looks better overall.

    Where do you fall?

    Does color match make a card significantly more desirable?

    Would you pay extra for it?

    Or do you think it’s become a bit overrated?

    I’d love to hear your perspective and if you have a favorite color match in your collection, post a picture. Those are always fun to see.

    I think color match cards are cool but for me i can take them or leave them. its crazy how it does affect the value to alot of collectors. Heck i know those who want color match and numbered to the point the serial number is there jersey number or such. or the 1/1 or the last one of a print one so its a number match as well

    I think they look good but they’re not something I chase in general. I really prefer the variety of cards that were out there before Fanatics took over and consolidated a lot and went to parallels. Though I do love some PC parallels

    I’m a such a sucker for a good color match PC wise. I think it just adds to the over design for of the card
