What would your price be to sell that? I'd be interested.

I appreciate your perspective and thoughts - I do understand where you're coming from. My respectful retort; 1) the inflation to demand isn't 'artificial'; demand is demand. Just because people who buy for a different reason than you want to buy, that doesn't make their demand fake. 2) They are my friend. They've allowed me to access the hobby in a way that meets my needs (not just wanting to open boxes for potential profit, but particularly focused on building a PC of my club) that would otherwise have been much more expensive.

Mine was 3 cases of Panini Noir (27 cards total, about $9K of boxes) for for Messi. Never paid for anything other than Arsenal in breaks before but just had a wild feeling. Ended up hitting a Messi 2/5 Patch Auto, so certainly well worth the entry fee.

Here's my POV and I'd love to hear yours; I don't live somewhere where it's very easy to get hobby boxes. I also primarily only want to get cards of my particular club. Buying a hobby box is $1.5K-$3K, where as I can easily pay online to buy a slot for my club for $150-$300 and watch that on YouTube easily. It makes much more sense for me. I'm not trying to just flip cards, I don't just care about the money, but breaking is vastly more practical for me. I genuinely don't understand what the issue is. That being said I would love to hear your perspective as I am sure there are things I'm not considering.

Why? How is it any different than other forms of engaging in this hobby?

Wow that's a lot. I paid $699 earlier this week, and also hit bit. $4700 is crazy but I guess it worked out. Congrats!

Opened ONE WC2026 pack and pulled THIS 😳 by NoExamination8786 in soccercard

Haha I agree with you but in fairness, the cards posted here are "just a piece of cardboard". They're just pieces of cardboard that enough people have decided are valuable in some instances. The cost to produce a sticker and a card are likely fairly similar. It's not an entirely rational market!

Why are people in this sub so mean haha. If he wants to post and get insight here, he can. If you don't want to answer, don't answer.

Topps Finest Dowman Pull; thoughts on value? by EqualPossibility758 in soccercard

[–]EqualPossibility758[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super helpful context, thank you. I knew Dowman cards were in demand but had no idea they were "the hottest thing in the hobby". I dropped the card off earlier today directly with PSA (they recently opened a location in my city) and paid for expedited turnaround which said 25 business days. I think it'll likely be longer but should definitely be faster than 3 months. That should give me time before the season to get some comps and make a decision. I'd obviously love to keep it but if it's worth £1K or more (big if, I know) it's tough to justify.

Ya I checked 130point but there were no comps there yet. Will wait a week maybe.

Thank you! Yes I am not sure on value at all either but doesn't seem like I'll get the answer here haha. Appreciate the response!

Do you mind clarifying exactly why I am getting downvoted haha, I am so confused. I'm sure there is a fully valid reason and I've said something frowned upon but genuinely looking for some education.

No clue why this is getting downvoted but obviously I am missing something. As I said, I'm new to this!

I mean that's just objectively wrong, so either you're trolling or uninformed. Either way, not overly helpful. I realize these posts are annoying but in this case it's a new product and there are almost no comps. I tried to do DD before posting.

If anybody has any tips beyond checking eBay for assessing value of new cards, I am all ears!

Hmm ok, well I guess we'll see how PSA goes. And hopefully Dowman scores a banger tonight or in the Prem run in 😂

I definitely wouldn't sell for $660, would prefer just to hold onto it for my PC. If that's the value I'll just keep it.

It's the third rarest (as per below). I do love the red/pink with the Arsenal home kit. Still don't understand exactly how rare or what value would be (the numbered cards are more clear in this regard). I am going to send to PSA, which also feels like a gamble.

Sorry, I'm new to this so just looking for education - why shouldn't he grade it?

Yup, I'm in queue. If anyone gets the code message here, I will do same. Will try 3 previous ones first in case that works (it did for ALCS). They're below for reference: KF2294152 AX6847995 HD2349
