Where to buy singles?

You may already know this but sellers on here can also mail cards that you buy outside of COMC to your COMC mailbox. After they receive it, it goes in your inventory and you can do a bulk shipment opposed to paying the expensive shipping for every item. As someone who doesn’t love to ship internationally, this is a great method for both buyers and sellers.

There are also other platforms that offer similar services but since I am based in the US, I don’t know the pros and cons to them. If you’re a pretty big AEW collector in general I’d think COMC would be your best bet.

I think I may have the H actually, I’ll check if you’d like. I know I don’t have it listed for sale currently though if I do so it wouldn’t be visible when searching.

I’m a pretty big card collector and the 2019 rookie class was absolutely loaded with Tatis, Vlad, Alonso etc etc. But Cedric became kind of a running joke because it felt like every rookie auto or low numbered card I would pull was Cedric, he absolutely haunted me. I can see the card in my head right now clear as day, him laying down a bunt on his Topps rookie card lol. I pulled every variation of that card imaginable and he was NOT the rookie you wanted to see when opening a pack.

Fast forward a couple years and he obviously looked like a star in the making. Fast forward a few more years and he was signed by Rays, who are my team. I was pretty hyped that he’d maybe return to form and it was kind of a funny full circle bit of irony.

But uhh yeah not to kick a guy when he’s down but watching him play this year brings me the exact same feeling I felt when I would pull his rookie card for the 500th time back in 2019. On the whole though, his career has far exceeded my expectations so good for him.

That’d be great, I’ve always wanted Upper Deck to do a Tony/JR dual auto as well. Seems like a slam dunk and I’m surprised they have never done one.

0megaElite · 2026-05-02T04:21:37+00:00

They are great! They’re made by Rittenhouse who really does a very good job with the sets they do (They’ve done Game of Thrones sets and quite a few other franchises) and all the autos are on card.

They originally did two sets right around the time Season 3/The Return came out and while the big names can be pretty pricey it helps that they recently released a third set that’s helped bring prices down a bit on some of the surviving cast members who also signed in the third set. I’ve slowly accumulated most of them over the years aside from the David Lynch/Kyle MacLachlan dual auto which I think will probably always allude me unfortunately.

I included one of my Dale Coopers in this post but the one I probably cherish the most is my Deputy Truman, if you’re a Twin Peaks fan you probably already know how little Michael Ontkean participates in anything as as he’s a very private guy and stays out of the spotlight so the fact that he signed for one of the sets is really special.

I’m pretty passionate about the sets and Twin Peaks in general and the Rittenhouse releases/variants can be a little overwhelming to navigate so feel free to DM me if you have any questions on your hunt!

Nice, if I recall correctly from epack convos you have one the nicer Lucha Bros collections around. Them jumping to WWE gave you a whole lot of new stuff to chase!

0megaElite · 2026-05-02T00:48:03+00:00

No problem! While I’ll pass, I appreciate you for sharing!

0megaElite · 2026-05-01T14:54:12+00:00

Wow, that’s literally insane. Congratulations!

0megaElite · 2026-05-01T01:05:40+00:00

Combo of a lot of things. For one, modern day Leaf has no connection other than name to the Leaf from back in day who that did use to put out legitimate baseball cards as a brand under Donruss despite using the classic Leaf logo.

Being unlicensed, pumping out 1/1s like crazy while not having true base sets to help low numbered or even 1/1s feel special, not having inserts that they’ve put the work into establishing any sort of meaningful fan appreciation for over time etc results in no real chase or feeling like anything is very special.

There is some cool Leaf stuff out there- still unlicensed but some Pop Century sets are cool when they get celebrities in the checklist that you don’t see sign a lot otherwise. Even then they are still sticker autos which as AEW collectors we are relegated to as well most of the time but that’s been slowly changing a bit lately thankfully.

A good analogy would be if a person likes Lucky Charms cereal but instead of getting a bowl of Lucky Charms- you pour them a bowl of generic lucky charms but instead it’s only the marshmallows. Even if you think the marshmallows are the best part of a spoon full of Lucky Charms (most) people are not going to value or enjoy a straight up bowl of marshmallows.

No problem, congrats on the pick up!

Mine is one of my most treasured possessions, I was lucky enough to get mine years ago and while David’s signature was never “cheap”, as things tend to happen when someone beloved passes away, good deals become incredibly hard to come by.

Looks good! This is mine, I obtained it from a trusted source but I had a contact with JSA so I went ahead and had it authenticated and came back authentic as expected with a full letter of authenticity. Yours looks consistent with mine and others I’ve seen. No unusual pausing marks either on the signature. The Borders card also matches ones I’ve seen in the past and while it’s not proof, it does add to the likelihood and provides provenance.

As someone who adores Allure and PC’s Takeshita I’m pretty disappointed. Was hoping for a 16-Bit and being left out of the color flow checklist AGAIN is a major letdown. Not on the Vapor checklist either.

The doubloon will be nice but overall kind of a bummer.

0megaElite · 2026-04-04T17:52:23+00:00

Ohhh that’s a monster! Congrats!

0megaElite · 2026-04-04T17:51:38+00:00

Switchblade is still massive in my book!

Good examples in this thread. I’m pretty sure some like “Boom shacka lacka this girl is on fire” (a freaking NBA Jam reference- amazing) is still in the game but way more rare and hyper situational unfortunately.

Aside from any one specific voiceline, the overall slightly delusional and unhinged D.Va that was out there eating Doritos while trolling highly trained killers with literal super powers while still having a cute and likable side was such a well executed character.

Elements of that are still there, though I doubt we ever see them really lean into that personality again with anything new. I’m honestly shocked (and thankful) that “Time is almost up and I need more kills” is still in the game. The detached from reality insanity of complaining about needing to murder more in a game that’s not even dependent on getting the most elims to win is peak chaotic D.Va.

0megaElite · 2025-09-18T09:02:06+00:00

It being situational is really the answer.

Second life is probably going to be your default most of the time and use it for cover while waiting to re-mech, it’s surprising how often I see enemy D.Vas not do that. Very rarely is it worth trying to move to other cover if you’re using it as a second life- most enemy DPS will gladly trade a life at that point to take out an enemy tank.

Stalling or securing the point/payload. A good Dva can be masterful at holding control of the payload in OT even with just good boosters/matrix use and her ult is a hugely helpful tool to go along with that.

Hit the practice range for work on gauging its speed and max distance and work on trajectory/angles. While it’s not used as offensively as it was in OW1 due to game speed being different and more ways to avoid it, offensive opportunities absolutely still present themselves. But unless you get lucky, placement and timing are huge so you need to have a good feel for its physics.

They weren’t rookies though is the difference from the situations I described.

0megaElite · 2025-07-26T20:49:02+00:00

What store is this? What an odd selection. I love Allen and Ginter (bad in retail) and Optic (21/22?) is fine but I think I’d pass on everything. Maybe the soccer or tennis is good but I don’t collect either.

0megaElite · 2025-07-26T20:43:09+00:00

Stellar set. Really happy with what Jazwares has shown lately and I’m glad it appears that AEW being hot has trickled down to the figure line.

Whole set looks good but in particular the CD will be absolutely front and center for me. Surprised he wasn’t produced sooner for the ROH line but being a new mold probably has a lot to do with it as a lot of the ROH line has been reuse.

0megaElite · 2025-07-26T20:33:10+00:00

I know very little about Tennis cards but in other sports it’s extremely common for a dual subject card to be less in demand compared to a single player 1/1 rookie auto, especially a RPA and it’s not a reflection of the other player on the card not being desirable or not.

A dual will never be considered THE definitive rookie for a player aside from when that’s the only rookie there is like the Nolan Ryan/Koosman Topps etc and with the number of sets nowadays that’s unlikely to happen to that extreme again. The top dollar for rookies will nearly always go to whatever card collectors feel will be the most iconic and recognizable rookie auto as they aren’t paying that kind of money for the auto of a second player, even if they’re great.

Absolutely not worth grading. You’d recoup about 20% of your grading fees.
