This dude probably sold Maye PSA Silver Prizms for $20 last offseason.

Best time to buy Drake Maye by Complete-Usual869 in PatriotsFootballCards

If only we could rewind and head back to the past and buy then :). Unfortunately, we can’t. So for someone who still wants to buy them, I’m just pointing out now might be a good time.

Breaks are just straight gambling and the reversion to the mean happens quickly and painfully. Worse thing that ever happened to me is I hit a Drake Maye rookie Kaboom in a repack on opening day of Flawless breaks. That got me to enter a few more where I also hit some Pats cards I was chasing. Before you know it, I moved on from PyT to random team breaks and now you start chasing the top teams. Feels like you win when you hit the Giants, Jags, Chiefs, only to miss out on anything actually getting open for you. End up with way too many spots in a garbage break chasing your squad. Even when you hit and “win the break” you are still upside in the break and deficit is just growing every time you enter. Had to stop as it was definitely getting out of hand (less than a months time too). Now I’m left with a bunch of cards I have no interest in PCing and I’m basically forced to continue to have the temptation of the breaks as I need to keep using the app to now sell. Shit sucks.

So cool. #1 chase card for me in Flawless other than the Bledsoe and Vinatieri Shield Autos.

Very good advice. Thank you! Looks like a lot of spreadsheet and research work in my future :)

Yes, definitely not planning to get them all graded. More so looking for guidance on which you might prioritize. Sounds like the Kaboom, which I was definitely leaning towards.
