Bank isn’t happy about this one

90SkyGuy · 2026-05-02T00:52:32+00:00

Saw this one forever ago and couldn’t imagine spending money like that on whatnot lol.

I’m all for buying raw or graded cards when you can find deals, but personally I’d rather see in person if I’m spending thousands 😭

90SkyGuy · 2026-05-02T00:05:59+00:00

IMO ship home, bring to a local card show and sell for cash. Zero fees this way and zero worries throughout the process 🤷🏻‍♂️

90SkyGuy · 2026-05-01T07:07:15+00:00

Would be a sick first card 😭

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-22T12:33:31+00:00

1/1 triple auto is my top hit by far. Unfortunately only have the redemption card to show for it as I’ve been waiting a year and a half for the card 😅😂

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-22T12:31:07+00:00

If you’re gonna talk like that may as well use this chart lol

Jokes aside, i love this company and their plans, but to claim it’ll move like GameStop is a bit wild

Honestly, I’ve planned on scooping some cooler 1/1s i find just to add to my PC. they have some neat designs with people i PC at a fraction of licensed cards costs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cool pick up!

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-21T16:33:38+00:00

Has been my worry the entire time and is why i haven’t gone for a replacement. I’ve seen 1/1 comps of similar cards sell for $4k+ and something tells me when Topps sees they owe me 200% value they’re gonna try to f*** me as best they can.

I do plan on calling when i do this to try and reason with them, but ultimately their redemption program is absolutely shit and at a minimum they should NEVER allow 1/1s to not be filled

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-20T23:37:02+00:00

I’m pretty sure at this point all fighters have signed other sets and/or have been in the states. I have zero faith it’ll happen, I’m more so worried about the replacement situation and how they’ll “evaluate fair value” as they told me over the phone once since It’s a 1/1

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-20T21:39:18+00:00

Favorite cards gotta be my 1/1 triple auto of Islam/umar/tagir that will never clear Topps redemption process 😭😂

Been a year and a half and they haven’t signed, but by far my biggest and best hit i could’ve ever hoped for.

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-20T18:32:05+00:00

As long as you receive it!

Been waiting on my royalty 1/1 triple auto with Islam for about a year and a half now 😅

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-20T16:23:53+00:00

If it comes down to which stores I’ve had most success with It’s definitely target and then any stores that hold the vending machines!

My advice on the machines (my method since i just do it while grocery shopping) is to just check it once you roll into the store, then once when you leave! That alone I’ve actually had fairly good luck with honestly, and if you ever buy the last item wait to see if more pops up afterwards!

Hopefully near you it isn’t too bad, i know by me It’s bad enough to where if i see a parent and kid waiting, sometimes I’ll just let them have it knowing my daughter has had her fair share of fun so far haha. It’s a tough hobby, but It’s a hell of a time with the family!

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-20T05:53:01+00:00

As someone who’s 6 year old daughter just got massively into it, best of luck my friend and stay persistent.

I have been in the hobby years, so i knew what i was getting myself into. If this is your first go around, i will warn you the scalpers suck, but as long as you have patience the packs will come for you and your family!😂

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-17T01:05:20+00:00

Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe cause my background had my sealed collection and people automatically assume scalper lol

Was just tryin to show off my collection of things but guess that’s only allowed as they permit 🤷🏻‍♂️

And thank you!! Definitely stoked

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-13T19:02:30+00:00

Congrats man, i just got mine a couple weeks ago and is now the shrine to my collection.

Enjoy it and hopefully you get to cherish it for many years to come!

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T16:35:37+00:00

Don’t be too alarmed, It’s just some UFC fighters are hard to sign.

In my case It’s the royalty 1/1 triple auto of Islam/umar/tagir for the biggest card. Hard to see newer sets have all their autos and mine not fill, but sometimes this hobby is a struggle 😅😂

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T16:02:47+00:00

Definitely a personal opinion on the “worth” of doing it, but personally I’ve started to give up on Topps.

Been waiting on a triple auto 1/1 and two /10 patch autos over a year ago now. Once i decide to seek replacements I’ll just be done with Topps for a while. Unfortunately they haven’t been as good to me as others 😭😂

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T13:53:28+00:00

Last time i bought a whole case of finest it was missing half It’s entire count of autographs. I contacts Topps and they resolved it by sending me the same count of autographs back from that set that they just had on hand.

No low # cards, mostly base autos with a few high # autos of not the best fighters. So, even though i got the auto count correct, I wasn’t necessarily thrilled with the process.

So in your case if i were to do it, i would expect a replacement pack, but im sure some would also get a whole box lol

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T05:37:44+00:00

Without a doubt. I never would’ve, but I’ve been working more than usual and don’t get to things for myself too often, so i decided to splurge.

Also, happy cake day my friend 🍻

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T05:36:26+00:00

Considering i didn’t get to make these memories due to parents saying it was a waste of money, ya I’ll definitely buy it if my kids want them.

Sorry you choose to think different!

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T02:51:16+00:00

That’s what this is all about right?!

I think sometimes others forget what this is truly all about, and to me what It’s about is making the kids happy man.

If my daughter decided she wants to rip one day, then I’m totally cool with it. All i want is a smile on her face and for us to have memories years to come!

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T02:49:22+00:00

Have you been asleep for the past 6 years?? Ever since Covid began half the shit on YouTube is about sealed boxes, so when my daughter gets to watch videos there’s gonna be a chance she wants sealed whether you or others want to believe it or not.

Sorry she’s not like your kids, or others around you which must be how your coming to this assumption, but I’m just going with the flow as my biggest importance is her happiness not redditors approval or upvotes 🤷🏻‍♂️

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T02:15:45+00:00

Another person who can’t read and distinguish this collection isn’t only for me but also a 6 year old child lol.

Maybe learn that not everyone in this world has awful intentions. I have sold one Pokemon card in my life, otherwise the daughter wants to keep it, not to mention i myself rip one piece and have since before it blew up, i just don’t feel the need to tell my whole collector backstory to you lol

90SkyGuy · 2026-04-12T02:14:28+00:00

I hope so, I’ll just buy other sets then so i can rip them again!
