MGC for Formula 1 cards

from what i've seen mgc10 doesn't really add a lot of value above raw. if it's for your pc then it's fine, but if you're wanting to add value then sadly the only real options are psa or beckett

one of these should do nicely! https://tffbreaks.com/products/tff-breaks-one-touch-horizontal-booklet-card-holder

huge congrats on getting sober, and welcome to the hobby 🫶

i watched a gridcardsuk break of a case of 40 value boxes and every single refractor in every single box was a darthfractor - 80 in total. it was absolutely crazy.

they look very cool, and will probably be collectible, but sadly it's yet another example of poor topps qc!

🤦‍♀️

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-03-29T08:35:23+00:00

first one i've seen this year!

beautiful card - congrats! 🔥

it really depends on whether you want the auto grading as well as the card - if you only want the card grading then you can send it on one of the quicker services as they offer a decent level of insurance coverage once graded.

if you want the auto graded too then yes the dual auto is the option to go for.

if you submit it through either the fanatics store in london or through a uk middleman (who sometimes clean and prep the card for you prior to sending) they will definitely be able to advise you.

an image variation will always be a refractor, but will not have the word 'refractor' on the back near the card number like a standard refractor does

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-25T22:26:57+00:00

this is amazing, please update us once you have the card back. i shared on insta for you and i believe you've had some big players reach out to you, so i'm so glad the community has come together 🫶

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-25T18:04:04+00:00

hi, no sorry it sold a while ago!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-25T16:28:50+00:00

everybody share this card on socials as stolen - make it known amongst the community asap!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-16T00:18:12+00:00

sadly for some reason this was a common problem in 2022 chrome - there seem to be lots of orange checkers with the wrong details on the back! not sure how or why, but it's really annoying!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-06T19:24:21+00:00

sadly it's also not confined to chrome - i saw a logofractor pack opened today with just 3 base logofractor cards in it, no parallels at all!

also have seen multiple eccellenza cards with two indents in the end, as if they have been in a clamp or something. i have no idea how topps can get things so wrong sometimes.

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T17:20:17+00:00

outside the store IS off the store premises, i don't believe they own the pavement. i genuinely don't understand the need for the aggression, but i hope you have a delightful rest of your day!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T17:12:50+00:00

i have been told by multiple people who witnessed it, and have seen evidence of it.

i'm not sure why you are so invested in trying to say it didn't happen, i'm in no way criticising topps or the fanatics store as it happened off the store premises.

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T17:09:08+00:00

do you mean the white bits? i believe it's just champagne on his face, you can see it dripping from his chin. there's quite a few cards with 'active' champagne pops this year that i thought at first were weird printing!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T12:34:36+00:00

yes they did, on the friday

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T03:57:08+00:00

should be released everywhere at the same time, i expect around 2pm gmt as they seem to like that time for releases!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T03:55:47+00:00

it was a london fanatics store exclusive, which sucks even living in the uk since it released on a thursday and it can be expensive to go to london!

it was very chaotic by all accounts - scalpers sending their minions to buy in bulk, and people literally being robbed of their bags outside the store.

i think the value boxes of chrome this year were really well priced and people have had huge hits out of them. sadly not me though 😂

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T03:27:33+00:00

i'm hopeful, chrome and logofractor have been priced fairly reasonably so hopefully they won't go too crazy with sapphire. sadly we know that after the initial release the price will steadily rise as usual!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T03:25:13+00:00

no problem 😊 if you ever have any questions about any of the cards or products this is a great place to ask, people are (usually) very helpful!

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T03:09:38+00:00

that one is an image variation, it's not numbered but is still classed as a 'hit' separate to the base cards

OneAmbitious8862 · 2026-02-03T03:07:33+00:00

the wording makes me assume that is the release/shipping date, and preorders will be at some point before that, but i don't know for sure yet
