I usually start with the closest comparable sale I can find — same player, same year, same product, and ideally another serial-numbered patch — then adjust from there based on how low the numbering is and how desirable the card is.

With something like a Judge /25 that has no direct sales, I’d look at the /50 and /99 versions first and use those as an anchor rather than just guessing based on the /25 scarcity. Then I’d check what other Judge patch cards from the same era are actually selling for.

And honestly, if you just picked it up and you already want to keep it, I’d track the comps but not force a value on it. Sometimes the lack of sales is a sign that there simply aren’t many changing hands.

Thats an absolute haul! The uncut MJ sheet is especially cool, and that 85-86 Bulls schedule is such a great piece of history with that rookie-year image on the front. Having a second copy makes sense when it’s that cool.

And finishing up your first Veriswap trade with the Nolan and Montana rookies is a pretty damn good way to close it out. Then you add Beavis and Butt-Head rookies AND a Randy Johnson lot? 😂

Definitely sounds like one!

Yeah def pivoted on some of my plans but i’m happy how it turned out

[kyberforged]

At their LA and NJ offices they have a day where they accept submissions

[kyberforged]

Yeah you could be like my team, always have the best record in baseball in April then never seen again lol

[kyberforged]

The plan is to get it done in April at star wars celebration and since it’s in LA I may just drop it off at PSA myself

Ewan’s auto will be in shock blue as to get the Vader vs Obi wan light saber colors in their ink colors

$8.04 MILLION is absolutely wild.

I can see the argument for it, especially if you look at the card as a one-of-one piece of sports history rather than simply valuing the player’s accomplishments. Geoff Wilson made some fair points defending the number too.

But $8 million still feels like a completely different universe of collecting. At that point you’re not really buying the card because of the player’s résumé—you’re buying scarcity, the story, and the bragging rights of owning something almost nobody else can own.

And yeah… I can absolutely picture this thing eventually hanging around somebody’s neck on an obnoxiously expensive chain courtside lmfao

The Tecmo Bowl crossover was a great example of doing it right, and the GPK stuff works really well too. The Minions one just didn’t really do anything for me. When the crossover actually fits the aesthetic of the product, though, I’m all for it.

[kyberforged]

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been hearing too. The inserts actually look like they put some effort into making them feel different rather than just recycling the same designs we’ve seen a hundred times.

[kyberforged]

Same here. I’m really curious what they did with the inserts because that’s where Bowman can really have some fun creatively. The 1st Bowman angle is obviously the big talking point, but if the inserts have some unique designs and concepts, that could really help give the product its own identity. Definitely going to be checking those out too

[kyberforged]

That’s the best kind of accidental PC pickup. You see something that takes you straight back to being a kid, grab it for the nostalgia, and then find out afterward that it actually has some value. Tom and Jerry are definitely one of those characters where I’d probably start looking for more once I had a couple. There are so many cool non-sport sets from that era too.

[kyberforged]

That’s honestly one of my favorite things about collecting. The card itself might not be worth a ton, but if it immediately takes you back to a person or a specific time in your life, it becomes priceless to you.

[kyberforged]

Yeah just think about the Montana rookie. One of the most valuable of all the 80s big boys and it’s unlicensed

[kyberforged]

100% agree. E-X has some ridiculously good-looking sets. The 1996, 1998 and 2001 sets are all awesome, and the 2006 stuff is beautiful in hand. I love when a set is relatively small too because actually completing it feels achievable instead of signing yourself up for a 500-card nightmare
