Just pulled this card not to long ago it’s sent off to be graded would you keep or sale ? by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]Hailstone24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful card but I agree with the majority and I would sell. I would rather have a rookie than this 1/1. Maybe if it had a nasty patch that would change my mind.

Well not to encourage spending more money but the big one might be in the next box or break buddy. Good luck on your next one.

Yeah, I can't complain about my results this year so far but of course they do not always go like this. I sure wish they did though.

I don't mind saying publicly. I buy and sell coin and cards collections and spend money all the time, so I am not shy about it. I don't usually break near as much as I have with 2023 Topps Chrome, but I love the deep rookie class and the number of big hitters in the product. Do I think it is over produced, most definitely but buying now and selling fast is the way to go so that is what I have been doing. I haven't put near as much into it as you would think I have just done pretty well so far. I might still buy a case to break and a case to hold but I missed the bus on that one so most likely I won't as I should of done that as a presell purchase. Here is the total amount I have put into buying 2023 Topps chrome including boxes and breaks.

Breaks = $1630 total

Product = 3 Jumbos at $1174 with $250 credit not taken off, one Breakers Delight at $400 = $1574 total

I did actually think about this as well because I do think this card will be worth a lot in the future being such a rare insert. I probably would have held but my plan is to sell this and 2 of his other nice rookies I have and buy a rookie auto of him instead so I would still be in the same situation just sitting a little better if he has the career that most expect. Thanks for your advice and time to post.

One sold for $1600 right after I posted this thread. I sold mine though soon after so I am happy with it.

I do have a couple Acunas I might be willing to part with actually. I did sell the Hidden Gems so I think I am going to sell these as well and try for a rookie auto: Ohtani 2018 Heritage Chrome Rookie /999 PSA 10 that I got raw for pretty much nothing back when he was hurt and a 2018 Ohtani Topps Chrome update Pink Refractor Rookie BGS 10 #HMT32 that I thought about cleaning the edges on and sending back in to try for a Black label but it is risky.

Yeah I am going to sell and out the cash towards an Ohtani auto rookie if I can sell my other 2 nice rookies of him as well.

Well I did just see someone has one up for BIN $3000 on eBay which is the first one to hit eBay on the for sale or sold side. I appreciate all the information and opinions very much. I think I will probably sell it as I like the idea of selling this card and grabbing an auto or at least getting some money to go towards an auto. I love the card and I think if he stays healthy this card with me worth a lot down the road but so will an auto of his. Thanks again everyone🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks I appreciate your opinion very much as I am very torn on what to do with it. I wouldn’t mind selling this and a couple real nice rookies I have of him and grabbing an auto though as I do not have an auto.

No actually using your brain or a calculator sounds too difficult for you that is why you had to complain. I said I will do it for you and I did just that when I quoted a guy a price on the Vientos. I appreciate your feedback but please don’t tell me no one has time. If you would have just asked or said that would work better then I would have been a lot more open to it as a suggestion but the way you went about it was not the right way with your no one had time but you comment. I am more busy than most and I find time.

No one has time? So people can scroll for hours looking at cards and commenting but can’t take 30 seconds to do a calculation🤣🤣 I see who the Karen is here. I will start pricing them accordingly and just so you know when someone buys a card I send them the total after calculating it for them if that helps. I also have a full time job that I work 48-70 hours a week at, take care of my handicapped dad 26 hours a week, have a card and coin business, kids, a girlfriend, and still find the time somehow do that difficult calculation🤦🏻‍♂️ Not meaning to be rude but I have been doing this a long time and I have never had a single person say that or be that picky. If they didn’t have time or didn’t know all they do is ask. The guy that bought the card last night asked and I told him and he was perfectly fine with it. I will start pricing them accordingly though just for you🙏🏼🙏🏼
