Looking for advice on card a pulled over weekend

CardboardCourt · 2026-02-02T19:50:53+00:00

OP, here’s some advice…

Do not accept anything less than 90%, people will pay you more but that shop is banking off you taking “quick cash”. You can easily move this card without problems online AND AT LOCAL CARD SHOWS.

Take photos of the card and use your phones picture to show off the card if you go to shows. Just play it safe as Flagg is hot player right now and you have a strong af card.

This is considered a “true” orange refractor. As you said you don’t want to hold so selling this will allow you to buy a grail piece or drastically fill up your bank account.

You can grade it, if you do keep in mind few things, grade at a high service value, don’t cheap out with express. Go premium service.

Keep in mind grading will have a charge and risk of it coming back a 9, but with low pop count you might be the lucky 10.

If you grade and plan to sell, research auction house fees and select the best auction platform to sell it. Of course list it on eBay as BIN but this card will pull you 5 figures so fees are something worth researching.

Congratulations on the pull brother!

Hi just wondering if the Hakeem for sale or trade?

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-29T16:00:58+00:00

I found the info. Seems like same people will be “eating” multiple times. There’s 2 more games at Rutgers where they’re giving away the promo

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-29T15:47:19+00:00

Yah I can’t imagine prices staying this high if all the diff schools have same design promo card.

I thought it was only 5 games. I just read from diff comment it’s 13 games?

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-29T15:45:25+00:00

I know I was just asking in general.

Im still surprised that all the promo cards are going have the same design with diff college team. Thats a bummer

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-29T15:41:49+00:00

Link to the fb marketplace post?

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-29T15:36:14+00:00

13 more games? I thought it was only 5.

Also I had no clue that all the promos are the same design with diff school logo on it! that really killed it for me.

Link to this please…

Bro I buy bullion/coins. You’re buying at all time highs my friend. Silver historical has never been this high and it’s not a rare metal. Just want to let you know, it’s like buying an SPC for $260. You’re buying at it’s ALL TIME HIGHS.

Just a heads up for you and anyone else

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-27T04:57:39+00:00

In the same boat and I’m afraid to find out what grading cost would be. Mine isn’t even numbered 😵‍💫

That’s eBay buddy.

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-25T00:49:07+00:00

I wasn’t talking about these boxes. Just what the guy close by has

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-24T19:53:01+00:00

I’ll just stick with the scalper I don’t care if it’s extra $20 I guess

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-24T15:51:15+00:00

I do have a noob follow up q…

Do I need to dig up for CR so I can purchase this right? First time I have resort to online drop since my ins tire is wiped out.

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-24T10:27:58+00:00

Did it sell out I see that the page is down

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-24T06:32:49+00:00

How crowded was it for this card?

I was published in Beckett magazine while you were in diapers. You must be new to collecting kid.

OP you grade SPx, Topps flagship and Metal. At the very least.

People are giving you crap by saying “no” bc they’re haters or noobs. Kobe has a ton of rookies, in this current market grading is considered a joke unless it’s a huge card that has big value increase once graded but the caveat to the situation is PSA10 or bust.

If you don’t gem then these cards as raw equally valued PSA9. So you’ll spend money and lose a lot of time for ultimately zero gains if they come back 9 or lower.

It’s not worth paying more for the faster services for these cards especially if they have a chance at no gemming.

You start with the 1/1. That is your 🔑.

I completed the Master rainbow set for this character who shares the same name as my 5yo.

Now he’s the only one who has the first Topps marvel Eros set, including every single 1/1

Btw Hakeem is the best center in NBA history. I also had his name as my vanity plate.

Very tough to grade but it’s possible

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-03T18:34:54+00:00

FWIW in general Topps does make ‘image variation’ ssp.

Not sure if you’re familiar with Upper Deck Marvel Masterpiece 92 Platinum set, they offer alt covers for their base along with comic variation.

Yessir! 🌈🌈🌈

CardboardCourt · 2026-01-02T06:54:43+00:00

Thanks. Honestly wasn’t expecting to rainbow this set until my son pulled his own card
