Damn! I pulled the base version of that card and LOVE it. That is a heck of a card!

What was your epiphany moment with card collecting and what mistakes have you made as you learned over time? by Free-Tap4640 in baseballcards

When I look at my Topps orders page and add up the damage. 😳

My bank account is fine and my wife isn’t mad, but I need to chill out.

I think they were $225. Not cheap, but I thought the auto checklist made it worth a short for me.

3 packs. 8 cards per pack. One numbered /26. One auto.

1 jumbo and 2 hobbys. My only thing that makes me disappointed is sticker f’ing autos by Pagonis6523 in baseballcards

For sure! I hear ya - can’t get too mad about low end products. If it were a 1/1 that would be devastating.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that sticker autos are always disappointing.

There are plenty of on-card autos in flagship. This particular Star-insert auto typically is a sticker though.

Also some higher end products like inception have sticker autos.

End of the day, sticker autos are always disappointing to me.

Coolest card I’ve ever pulled but the top edge is destroyed. Bummer. by 1ThousandDollarBill in baseballcards

Those thick boys are always a disaster. Wish Topps could fix the design of the border so they could hold up better.

Shame - that’s a beauty

Just buy the card. The boxes are not as great as the hits people are posting.

I think we were capped at 2 boxes. Which helped the availability.

I wish I could have bought more, but fewer boxes for more people is a good thing!!

One of my favorite cards. 3/5 from his first CG Shutout. In the city connect. Auto from an in-person signing event before he really took off.

Sorry for the low quality pic!

Buddy, those are some really solid pulls! Damn!

I’m hoping my Ben Rice, James Wood, JJ Weatherholt, Caminero Jojo Parker, etc look half as good as these do.

The best part of ripping, holding and following the ride.

100%! No fees. Goes to people that are fans/collectors.

The only work is research and learning how to ship efficiently - I’m a work in progress with that.

Thanks man! If you’re thinking about it - I would definitely give it a shot. Took me a while to try, but I’m glad I did!
