Oh yeah, making that much on a card is sure an incentive to sell

Added some more this week. Now to decide how far I want to go…which is actually deciding how much money I want to spend on the more expensive variants…

I’m not familiar with Wildcard but am about to look them up

Thanks a bunch! I find this super helpful. And the timing is great because I’m just about to send my first set where I decide myself. Last time I asked for advice at my hobby shop.

This is the kind of thing I was hoping to learn at this site. I really appreciate having your insights.

I did buy a Leaf 1/1 and have a handful of not-Topps or Panini cards that I like the look of. But I definitly lean toward Topps first and then Panini

Thanks! Yes, this first submission will be a good experiment to see how well I can choose cards likely to get high grades. I know it’s something you can develop an eye for. Or I’d expect it would be

I really like the way they look

I’m about to apply the advice from Mike’s video to see which of the cards I’ve narrowed it down to are in the best shape. How long have you been collecting seriously? You have a lot of knowledge.

I keep seeing my hobby shop share Leaf hits on their social media and have thought the same thing. For my PC Leaf might honestly be a better way to get autos

That’s what I’m trying to decide. Do I really want to spend money on grading for my PC? Especially cards that aren’t “special” to me. Probably not unless I REALLY like the look of the Degree slab

[KJXploR]

This comment is helping me decide. I think a complete variety is going to be what I do

[KJXploR]

😁

I think I’m going to send at least one Acuna card in this intro set to Degree and see what kind of grade it gets. I may send a total variety of cards in part to see how different sets seem to grade. And only send cards I pulled myself because I know I’ve been careful in handling them

I don’t think there’s a big general market for the Topps Now BUT it seems to me that some collectors would want cards that involve records. A numbered card would make a big difference I’m sure, and I never got lucky with anything numbered on a record card. I quit ordering them a couple of years ago (well, and the Braves haven’t been breaking records like they did that one year!)

I’m an Adley fan too. 😄 Well and in general the Orioles are the AL team I root for. But Braves definitely on top and have been since I was a kid
