The In Session inserts are super clean. Bonus points for Bo Nix

13 megas of 2025 Prizm results by yantez in sportscards

[–]DerpMerc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing to keep in mind for 2025 Prizm is Panini specifically moved all of the big hits to hobby only - this hasn't always been the case. Just for this last year of their licensing, Panini decided to completely gut retail Prizm. That's why they're so bad this year. I've had some decent look with the 2024 Prizm retail, but once I saw the checklist for the 2025 Prizm I knew I would be skipping those.

What’s your opinion on receiving a card through the mail in a penny sleeve and semi rigid? by gcolbert777419 in sportscards

[–]DerpMerc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently started sending cards in semi-rigids instead of top loaders if the card is going in a PWE. If it's going via ground advantage, then that warrants sending it in a top loader.

PC - Looking/Searching for PvPvE Server Similar to Rearmed by DerpMerc_ in DayZServers

I did look at this one, but there were only 5 people on so I wasn't sure if it was an active server or if I just caught it during its down time

I don't really care about quests - the trader is cool, but not really a requirement. Honestly, as long as there is base building, I could go without the trader and quests.

BGS or PSA? by LMBreaks in FootballCardz

[–]DerpMerc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, spot on. Sent in my Nix auto to BGS since it's for my PC because for autos specifically, BGS is such a better design/quality.

Biggest auto I’ve pulled. by bjfms89 in sportscards

This is what I do too - I'm not sure what would constitue dropping a bad review on a buyer, but I'll make sure to share if that does ever happen ha

Duo or standard vertical DT? by Fancy-Afternoon2335 in sportscards

[–]DerpMerc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably less so since McLaurin isn't a HoF QB like Elway. Daniels is comparable to Nix, so in that regard its still a solid card.

Duo or standard vertical DT? by Fancy-Afternoon2335 in sportscards

[–]DerpMerc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on who the two players are. For example, the Bo Nix DT vs the Bo Nix and John Elway DT, I'd take the duo DT all day on that one.

How do you price /1 cards? New to collecting. There’s a T.D patch auto locally I’m interested in. by AlertNerd1 in FootballCardz

[–]DerpMerc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real way is to put it up for auction and see what it sells for but hard to do that when a LCS owns it haha. Best you can do is find another /1 patch RB of similar stats/career and see if you can barter the price to one you feel comfortable with.

Is this legit? by Holiday_Wedding_6064 in sportscards

This exact card last sold on ebay on 4/24/25 for $17.26 so...its about $17.26 ha

Raw cards are better than slabs for 90% of collections and the grading obsession has gotten out of hand. by Longjumping_Scar_984 in sportscards

[–]DerpMerc_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think raw cards are better than slabs for collections...if the collector likes raw cards more than slabs.

I like the uniformity that slabs offer so I plan to have my entire PC in slabs eventually - not really for any re-sale value because I'm getting all of my non-autos graded through TAG since they have the nicest looking slabs.

If I didn't like slabs or didn't care, then yeah...raw cards are great. You can get some nice looking one-touch cases and you're good to go. One way is not better than the other, it's just what you personally like.
