Always love autos! I’m a sucker for those

Nice! I’ve added Ace Bailey to my PC since he’s originally from this area and I have friends who know his family. Today I ripped this card in the new 2025-26 Bowman set that just came out.

Nice haul! It’s fun to have a bunch of cards to go through and sort. I have a blaster arriving today and look forward to seeing what I got. Hoping for someone in my PC

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

Thanks for your input. I like learning about what those of you who have been collecting for a while have figured out. Part of me is thinking about who inherts my collection. But I don’t have anyone who’s really into cards so maybe I just need to think about what I want. I think when I get back the cards I sent off to PSA in February I’ll get some guidance there. I sent the cards that should bring the best prices IF they’re 10s. But if they’re not I don’t know that there’s much return on investment. Except for me to have a slab if it’s a PC card.

Where do you have your PC? In those Zion cases? Any in binders? I’d be really interested in seeing pics or a video of some of your PC and how you store/sort the cards

[KJXploR]

Nice! I look forward to hearing what you think

[KJXploR]

I hope you get lucky!

[KJXploR]

How do you decide what to grade? That’s my main question for folks who have big collctions. What makes you decide it’s worth investing in grading for a card?

[KJXploR]

I’d think he’d love seeing the cool stuff you have. Maybe some he’s never seen before

[KJXploR]

Wow, VERY impressive! Super nice cases. Do you have everything cataloged? It looks really organized so I’m guessing yes you do

[KJXploR]

If I were a player I’d absolutely be interested in someone’s collection of my cards. I think it’s fun when they are collectors themselves
