Here is 1 hobby related spot in my house 😂

2023 Topps Composite Chrome Herman Moore Auto Superfractor 1/1

I’m a big Herman Moore collector. You will see a ton in this thread.

*Also, Slade Sports Cards is also me, I had that account before I decided to make an admin acct*

To me it really depends on what the card is. For example, if its a lower end card that is a pop 1, I don’t think it matters much because its likely that no one has bothered grading it. I also think gem rate matters to which is the population difference between PSA 10s and all other grades.

Great cases! I have a lot of XLs but I only use them for home storage. There are a lot of travel options such as the 2R which is more manageable to carry, the slab case backpacks which keep you hands free and travel cases such as the Titanium and Goliath.

Also, if you mainly have non-graded cards, check out the Slab Case T. Those will not fit graded cards but fit raw cards perfectly.

2009 Topps Chrome Matthew Stafford Rookie Copper Refractor /649 PSA 10

I’m a huge Lions fan so you will see a lot of Lions cards in this thread.

Fun fact about this one, it was a SCG 9 and I cracked it to send to PSA.

[thehobbi_Mike]

Yep this is most of the PC, the other area I have it mostly sealed Pokémon.

[thehobbi_Mike]

Haha yes, I slowly added them as needed

[thehobbi_Mike]

Its from 2023 which was the first year they started making Topps again but unlicensed. I bought it off of eBay.

I’m a lifelong Lions fan and I wanted to start a PC of someone from the 90s since I love some of those iconic inserts (PMGs, Credentials, etc). Barry Sanders stuff is crazy expensive so he was not an option. Herman Moore was a great player who did not get a lot of hobby love and I enjoyed watching him as a kid. Realistically, he is the 2nd best WR in Lions history after Megatron. Another cool thing I learned was that Moore collects his cards and appears at a lot of local card shows. He also now follows me on IG and has commented on a few of my cards. Eventually I’d like to meet up with him and show him my PC.

What do you mean by the difference from a 10 and a gem mint 10? For PSA, they are the same. BGS has a pristine 10 and a Black Label 10.

[thehobbi_Mike]

Oh absolutely! It doesn’t always work out that way but I still would have been ok getting a PSA 9 rather than an SGC 9.

[thehobbi_Mike]

Thank you!

[thehobbi_Mike]

I thought the same thing but I think he’s exclusive to Upper Deck and Panini has the NASCAR licensing.

[thehobbi_Mike]

Thank you!

[thehobbi_Mike]

Thanks! I love it, the auto is so big and bold too.
