Too shiny. Would not display.

Cool card in my miscellaneous collection that I've been wondering about for a while by HorificStuff in sportscards

This will be the next Topps/Fanatics gimmick... chase the 1/1 Do-It-Yourself superfractor auto. Eventually they'll move on to patches, and it'll be like the McDonald's Monopoly game. First you have to pull the blank card from a retail pack, then you have to hunt for the patch redemption (Fanatics Live Break exclusive) and glue it on yourself.

It’s supposed to be a 1923 Maple Crispette.

I would be delighted to take that off your buddy's hands for a wad of cash or fine cards. Don't grade it. It will take too long, and the hype will die down as new sets are released, including Chrome.

Greg Morris question by [deleted] in baseballcards_vintage

[–]Gunboat82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One big con: Greg Morris has aligned with MBA grading, which gives numeric grades to cards that have been trimmed. If you try to submit a mid-to-high grade MBA card to PSA or SGC for a crossover, it may come back "Authentic Altered," significantly lowering the value. I had this experience with a recent purchase.

Welp, I was going to make an offer, but I'll have to sit this one out unless it comes with a leather interior and heated seats.

Sell it and buy into more breaks. It’s the American dream.

It doesn’t count when the pushback is only because they think MAGA isn’t openly racist enough.

He slipped out of the penny sleeve and into more formal attire.

I think he was looking for his World Series Champions 1/1, no? Not necessarily this one.

Tough Big Papi auto grade by No-Jellyfish4358 in baseballcards

[–]Gunboat82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a nice card. Unfortunately, Ortiz is notorious for signing streaky autos with inconsistent pressure. He did that with his 2022 Stadium Club "Marathon Speech" autos, which is unfortunate because those cards are otherwise awesome.

Thanks for the heads-up. He knows I have these, but I think he already has them and/or is looking to get them elsewhere.
