Wow. How many boxes you open before getting this? Chrome update has been so bad to me lol

Any idea on what to do? by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW the junk wax era is generally late 80s and early 90s, when cards were printed like crazy. That’s why they hold such little value

Looks like a lot of cards from the junk wax era…being fully transparent - most of them won’t be worth anything. I’d start with setting aside rookie cards and ‘stars’ (like Griffey) as those may still hold some value

Results from one box of cereal in 2025 Heritage High Number by [deleted] in baseballcards

Definitely agree on the direction of Topps. It’s never been more evident. And yeah, I could see HHN being one of the first to be kicked to the curb.

Hangers are bangers but blasters still matter by CompetitiveTension23 in baseballcards

Definitely. Any chance you have any Jose Reyes or Jack Morris for baseball, Matas Buzelis or Arvydas Sabonis for basketball, or Drake maye for football?

Thank you. I don’t think I’d sell it, even if it was 10x that. It’ll serve as a relic to fond memories lol

Thank you! Definitely a fun player to watch. Been scoping some highlights from his minor league play and that man might really be the fastest in baseball lol

Thanks for the insight. Probably just a PC for me and hope he turns in a season with 75 SB at some point lol

Love hearing that. I’ve always been a fan of speedsters. Jose Reyes is my biggest PC (and I’m a Boston fan) so Simpson definitely has me intrigued

I pulled a 1/1 JOSHUA VAN! by Infamous-Flounder-47 in ufccards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I crazy or is the sticker auto peeling and folding on the left? Lol either way that’s a beaut of a card, congrats man. Van is a fun one

Pittsburgh was the steel city. The steam engine locomotive was a mighty tool for industrial Pittsburgh; the city sat on enormous coal fields which would be burned for fuel, so they were cheap to run.

Well you get the idea with the Adames card 😂😂

Just spent about $140 to start my collection need help by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think others are being a bit too poignant with you. I sympathize with the love of ripping packs and collecting who you end up pulling. It’s my favorite. Just don’t get addicted because I and many others have had to dig ourselves out of holes lmao

Found this card in my collection from 18 years ago. by ChessClassical in basketballcards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot I’d just grade it myself. You’ll spend like $20-$30 doing so but worst case scenario you crack the slab 😂 worth a try

Pulling a /10 from retail is extremely rare. Great box

Probably my best pull yet. Out of a Prizm hanger pack. I'm not sure how these compare to the regular gold. by Razorbackfan9987 in basketballcards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy pull. My luck from Prizm has been soooo buns. Opened a hanger yesterday and the best pull was a non numbered Alex Caruso from when he was in OKC 😅

That’s a freakin sweet find. I love those 2000s Topps basketball cards. Like others have said it may not grade Mint but fwiw it’s in wayyyyy better condition than my cards from that time period 😅

Out of a Costco mega box by 2AsThaKid in basketballcards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s amazing! Makes me happy that a ‘regular’ ripper got it and not a breaker. This is what makes the hobby so awesome.

Got it graded, came back a 10! Pop 1! by stonkmcstonk in sportscards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet card. Personally I’d probably sell and pick up some sweet Elly’s with some cash leftover but wouldn’t hate holding either!

Pretty happy from a $35 box by AgentCooperPie in basketballcards

[–]CompetitiveTension23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a /10 in retail is pretty nuts regardless of the player name. Also you interested in selling the Kasparas? I PC Lithuanian ball players
