I am a huge Reds fan and was a huge fan of certain players, not the biggest names but they are in my PC. Chris Sabo, Adam Dunn, Brandon Phillips, Jay Bruce, Eric Davis, Barry Larkin, Sean Casey, etc

Honestly I think PSA 8s are pretty underrated. If they’re only a little more than raw, I’d rather buy the slab every time. You know it’s authentic, it’s protected, and if I ever decide to move it later it’s usually an easier sell.

PSA 9s are where I think you start seeing a real difference, but I also think it depends on the card. If pops get crazy, the premium can disappear pretty quick.

Either way, if you’re an Umbreon collector first and an investor second, I think you made the right call. I’d be interested to see an update in a year and see how the raw vs. graded prices actually compare.

I love to use Market Movers. It’s like 10 a month but gives some great real time information and comps

It’s one of those cards that makes you wish Jordan signed. Imagine that card with a red ink auto

[kyberforged]

It’s def on my card bucket list but raw it’s like low end $500

I always wonder what my grandpa would think of the hobby today? In his day it was about building sets. Now its numbered, colors, SSPs, autos etc.

I will say I do understand the utility of sticker autos, hard to logistically coordinate all those sets with autos and card design but I believe there’s a certain numbered level where autos should never be stickered. For me everything /25 & lower should be an on card.

Oh yeah it helps so much, gives you a good idea what the final product could look like and plan accordingly. Kind of the card equivalent of measure twice cut once lol

[kyberforged]

Great call and also Thank you for service

[kyberforged]

I agree 1000% I collect mostly non sports so on card autos are so rare. That’s why most of the time I’d rather get them myself

[kyberforged]

Portable charger is a good call, I blast through a battery at a show

[kyberforged]

Def not wrong about that one lol

[kyberforged]

One thing I do for autograph prep is I mess around with a card in photoshop to get and idea what ink colors work best and placement, here is the final concept

[kyberforged]

Yes this has been a lot of fun to watch. I think it’s helping that the biggest stars are still in it
