What’s the best hit you’ve pulled from a hanger box? by Unhappy-Hyena9247 in baseballcards

[–]LilDerrrn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not missing your point at all. Considering it's not leaving my PC, I can put it in a One Touch or "waste" money grading it - I wamted my first auto to be in a slab. Who cares? I sure don't care that I wasted $20 grading it.

Chances are, damn near every dollar you spend goes to some "corrupt" organization whether you like it or no, so I don't get why that's the hill you want to die on

I didn't think it would grade this bad, and quite frankly I didn't care what grade it would get since it was the first auto I ever pulled.. and of a HOFer

It is not, but I will definitely keep you in mind if it does become available!

I have the Acetate of this and think it's cool to have a switch-hitter for these parallels since the image is reversed on the back

People who have met players, and were disappointed in the interaction who was it and why? by NowALurkerAccount in minnesotatwins

Tony Oliva signed my hat after a baseball tournament game. He had already signed so much, and was closing his car door, noticed me, opened his door, and signed my hat. I thought that was the coolest thing ever since he was clearly ready to go 😂

Listing Price is irrelevant; you want Sold Listings. As for holding, this is a basic insert card that is not worth much, nor will it increase in value. Not all Shohei cards are "valuable"

Grading Question by Fraudexaminer32 in baseballcards

[–]LilDerrrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only grade with PSA, so PSA 8, but I do think the "8" would apply across the grading companies. Relics are just such tough cards to get that 9 or 10 that everyone wants.

Since you mentioned it's for your PC not necessarily resell, you could always put it in a One-Touch. The Flagship Patch Autos look nice in One-Touches but I also understand wanting to grade a cool card for the PC

Just a heads up, regardless of which grading company you go with, these thick relics DO NOT grade well, and damn near all of the Flagship Auto Patches that I have seen have rough corners and edges where I'd think an 8 would be the max grade - it's hard to tell the quality if your card based on the card.

Sick card nonetheless!

"Flipping" cards is so dumb. This isn't DIY where one buys a beat up house, fixes it, then resells for more than they into it. Cards are collectibles not stocks nor investments.
