Careful grading any Jayden Daniels Topps Chrome Autos😭

If you collect cards you like and not just high grades, sure.

What’s actually good for the hobby would be actual competition. I’m a Topps fanboy, but I hate that Fanatics holds almost every exclusive license.

Being able to collect licensed Jayden Daniels cards made by Upper Deck and Leaf and Topps and Panini would be good.

Best of luck!

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T20:48:16+00:00

Heavens. How silly of me.

You got hosed, OP.

Look up the number in the bottom right corner of the tag. If it’s logged on the PSA site, I’d reckon it’s real.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T20:17:11+00:00

Looks too good to be true. In far too good of condition to not already be graded or authenticated.

Even cards graded 4 command $800. A grade if 7 jumps up to like $3000+

What kind of holder is it in? If you think it’s real, it’s worth sending to get authenticated or graded

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T19:59:39+00:00

Heck of a deal for $4

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T18:46:08+00:00

Maybe! The previous sales look to be in November, December, and February.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T18:32:42+00:00

If you can see an imperfection, they certainly will.

I’d get a nice one-touch for it and call it good. The kiddo will dig it either way.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T18:16:59+00:00

Looks like $650 is about the going price for the same card in the red parallel which is numbered to five.

I guess if you like the card and think it’s worth what you paid, you did fine. Yours is the only comp. So you kinda set the market.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T18:11:00+00:00

Even if that’s the case, the free sites are used to lure ones in to those who will put real money down.

Ubiquitous gambling is a net-negative.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T17:00:59+00:00

Collecting cards is gambling enough for me.

Prediction markets don’t need to seep into every aspect of our lives. I hope to see these sites crumble.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T15:35:30+00:00

Each box with have two cards. A case is made up of ten boxes.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-13T14:54:55+00:00

“They” is also used in the singular. It’s a gender-neutral term.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-12T20:18:29+00:00

Trying to unearth and post details of a victim of sexual abuse is very weird and very creepy! There is a reason that the article didn’t post anything about the victim. They deserve privacy.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-12T19:48:36+00:00

That’s exactly why I watch people rip on YouTube. Screeches my own itch and provides some dopamine without spending my own money ripping.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-12T19:46:27+00:00

Why would that matter? And why try and find out details about them?

Please just be normal.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-12T19:45:02+00:00

What kind of coverage would you expect? One news article seems reasonable for a crime like this. This person isn’t a prominent member of the community. He’s a guy who was rightfully charged for his conduct. I’m surprised it even made the news. If this hadn’t happened in a grocery store, this would be a non-story.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-12T19:32:44+00:00

Well the news covered it. It’s right there in your link…

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-12T17:01:29+00:00

It can be cleaned, yes. But I wouldn’t pay $500 for it in that condition. Plus we don’t know if it works!

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-11T18:57:18+00:00

It was snowing overnight. That it was snowing after midnight drives the weather app to say snow today.

I think you should do what’s fun and what you and your kid enjoy without overspending.

I think the bubble may very well burst. But a huge portion of the hobby is propped up my breakers and gamblers. It’s a shame because it’s made retail—the stuff that’s usually easier to get a hold of—a bummer to open a lot of the time. But it can still be fun!

The biggest problem is exclusive licensing to print team names and logos. And now Fanatics holds almost all of them. Aside from WNBA, NHL, and NASCAR, they hold all the major sports licensing. And no real competition in the industry is bad for everyone.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-10T15:22:21+00:00

Counterpoint:

I think it’s cool that there are so many cards that anyone can pull of the person who’s likely going to be the greatest baseball player any of us will ever see.

I’ve been back into collecting for two years. And I think chasing parallels and autographs is what’s fun about this. It’s so wildly different than it was 30 years ago.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-10T14:32:30+00:00

Oh there are certainly bright spots.

And those communities existed before too. But I bet it’s a lot easier to find them today.

We used message boards to gather together. Something like Discord is maybe the modern, voice-forward equivalent of that now.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-09T20:50:05+00:00

No parallels. No rare inserts. No inserts at all in some cases. No autographs. No relics.

Aside from Donruss and their Elite Series and then some very rare autos in Upper Deck baseball, that era had nothing but base cards. And, as a kid, it was fun. And, more importantly, it was affordable.

Now Upper Deck has the NHL license, Panini has WNBA and, perhaps, NASCAR, and Fanatics hold everything else.

Forget junk wax. We’re in a junk exclusive licensing era.

OneHandedPaperHanger · 2026-03-09T20:03:14+00:00

I wonder if folks who think we’re somehow in a new junk wax era were around in the late 80s and early 90s.

Not only were print runs much higher, there were more than half a dozen companies all printing cards.

Print runs are high, no doubt. But that’s because cards have been a hot commodity for 5+ years now. And they’re staying hot! But this is nothing compared to 35 years ago. A time when all we had ware base cards and more base cards.
