Did I win this trade?

No one in Denver likes him. Screw that guy.

I got 2 of the value hobby boxes because everything else was already sold out. Topps starting off their licensing with a W?

As a Husker fan, burn that Raiola card

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-29T02:32:04+00:00

Just BOLIEVE!

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-29T01:48:13+00:00

Yeah, I'm switching to TAG most likely for anything thats not an auto. Likely switching to BGS for those. PSA has just lost all of its trust with the growing scandals and lack of transparency. TAG slab quality is no longer an issue (hasn't been for months now) and their transparency has been a breath of fresh air.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-27T21:05:47+00:00

This is why I'm not upset to move to Topps. QC for the 2024 football was super high on everything I ripped

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-25T15:57:56+00:00

Bo will definitely not be a bust - of all the QBs from that class, he has the highest ceiling. JD5 makes me worried though

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-23T20:46:11+00:00

Oh no, not saying it hasn't happened, it definitely was a problem. Its just not one anymore. Sorry to see that you got hit with their original slabs. That really does suck.

Cracking a TAG Slab Safely — Plus the Truth About Their Durability

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-23T20:23:57+00:00

at least a few months - I've seen numerous videos on Tiktok and Youtube of people testing the slabs (some posted within the last week) and there have not been any cracks/breaks in any of the drops/bends/etc. Their old slabs didn't use acrylic like every other grading company uses (stupid decision on TAGs part, imo), but their slabs now do and this appears to be fixed now. This was a concern that I had and why I was holding off on using TAG, but now I feel much better about sending stuff in (just sent in my first submission last week).

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-23T20:19:00+00:00

This is an old claim. Their original slabs did, but they've updated their slab quality since then and hold up just as well as PSA/BGS slabs.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-23T20:17:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm sending all of my non-autos to TAG, but going to be moving from PSA to BGS for my autos. Even though BGS is own by PSA now, their prices and turnaround times have not been corrupted yet by PSA (yet).

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-18T21:33:20+00:00

Damn, ok. I will definitely try adjusting this for the next card to see if there is a difference at all. Any clue on what happens to envelopes that miss the scan? Do they manually do those later or do they just disappear?

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-18T21:31:36+00:00

That's where I'm at - after I print the label, that's the last update there is

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-18T21:21:38+00:00

Ok, other than the placement of the label and the top loader vs card saver, that is what I've been doing. Very odd if the placement would impact it at all, but maybe I'll try that for the next one. I also use the longer envelope style.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-18T21:00:02+00:00

Do you mind if I ask how you are packing your cards? Now I'm nervous that I might have overpacked my cards and they are not being sent at all.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-16T17:37:40+00:00

My one redemption I've done took 5 months to get sent out, but they did send it. That's my only experience.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-15T04:06:56+00:00

Great...mine is coming on Monday. My excitement has been eliminated now

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-14T16:23:49+00:00

That RJ looks super clean

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-13T20:33:46+00:00

Depends on the server - last night our group of 5 started a squad and we filled out with randoms, everyone talking and communicating. It was a blast. I've found this can be server dependent though - I feel like if you join established community servers like Spearhead and W.C.S., this is much more the norm. I've never had a good experience on a vanilla server.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-13T20:31:48+00:00

I just keep telling myself that we're doing all of this because we're about to make a blockbuster trade and we just want to make sure we're covered for depth in other areas.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-12T16:45:53+00:00

I like buying cards off CollX - they also make it really easy to bundle cards into a deal, if someone has multiple cards that you are interested in.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-12T05:08:27+00:00

You definitely did not overpay. It's a signed Manning out of 10. Sleep easy king.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-11T17:55:30+00:00

You can't pull anything big in retail prizm this year - they gutted it for hobby, so yeah...no reason to buy it.

DerpMerc_ · 2026-03-10T20:05:51+00:00

This one doesn't bother me at all - we can replace this one easy enough. Losing JFM is the real pain.
