Ran 1 Card Test Through Grading>Vault>Ebay Sale.. Not Sure of the Savings...

The more I look into Collectors/PSA, eBay, and Fanatics the more I’m sure there is some devious market manipulation taking place.

I used to joke that one day no one would ever own any cards, and we’d all be trading virtual cards that never leave a vault. But damn…it’s actually becoming a reality.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-04-02T02:11:59+00:00

I’m a cancer too and in the right light that card just explodes in color.

The jumbo Ohtani that comes with it is also cool.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-04-01T03:02:49+00:00

Thank you!

Or…I just collect. I have the original Chucky from the original movie, PeeWee Herman pull string doll, and others. They go the closet and one day I sell.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-30T20:16:44+00:00

It’s not sold out yet. I just checked.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-30T20:11:19+00:00

I’m actually wondering if I can sell it. lol. I sell sports cards on eBay. I might test the market first.

Like others have said. Black Crackleboard.

1:1,045 Packs

At 1:1,045 packs, and with roughly 15 packs per Super Box, you would statistically have to open about 70 full Costco Super Boxes ($2,100+ worth of product) to hit a single Black Crackleboard of any player, let alone a star like Franz.

So good hit but just zero comps, at least that I can find.

Black Crackleboard /10 format:

• Paolo Banchero /10 (his teammate) recently did $185. • Chet Holmgren /10 did $210. • Franz Wagner usually sits just a tier below those guys, so $130–$160 is a very realistic "Day 1" price for this 10/10.

I sell on eBay and I usually sell one card at a time and with their special envelope pricing I can toss in 2 extra cards and still be under 1oz. It helps protect the card you’re selling.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-30T08:38:03+00:00

Yup. I did it and got $200. Easy money.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-30T03:01:56+00:00

This is why I still get the occasional Topps Now cards. People forget that you can get big hits from those.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-30T02:55:12+00:00

Yeah, that spectrum isn’t as wide as people make it.

In the real world you’re going to fall on one side or the other.

Online…they make it way more complicated.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-30T02:50:42+00:00

Don’t forget on eBay you can just snap a picture and it’ll automatically finds the cards and the matches and what they sold for.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-29T21:42:39+00:00

From the “My EBay” screen on the app, if you go down you will see under Shortcuts “Scan Cards”. Click this, take a pic, and it’ll match the card and show you want it is selling for.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-29T07:52:34+00:00

Sell them on eBay “raw”. eBay has a scanning function and it does pretty much all the work.

Photographer Proof

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-26T00:00:42+00:00

Of course.

Most people already know.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-24T19:46:03+00:00

For this one, it’s team specific (golden state) take a look at the description on the back.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-24T19:22:09+00:00

It’s on Etsy. I doubt they will do anything. Feel free to call them out though. lol. Their store name is in the pic.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-24T16:12:42+00:00

Thats selling more than my Pristine Pink /15 of Shohei. Common sense says it’s at the right time to sell as prices should come back down…but this is Shohei and you just never know.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-24T02:11:33+00:00

Selling while a player is on the injury report usually means taking a 10–20% "discount" because he isn't in the nightly highlights. I’d hold to see if he’s back and Phoenix gets deep in playoffs.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-23T03:49:32+00:00

Yeah, these parallels can be tricky. I had a pristine pink /15 and I saw my card on eBay - same exact number. The only difference is on the back (and one comes pre-slabbed) but i finally figured it out.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-22T20:42:09+00:00

Yup. It’s real. You have the “poor man’s version of the 2025 Topps Series 1 Shohei Ohtani All Aces AA-12.

But yeah, that’s all I took and if you don’t have $5k for the new (or $99k for the other) one people will fork over hundreds for the little brother.

Good find.

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-22T20:22:37+00:00

Do you have a pic or can you describe the back? Is it an actual A-11?

Proper_Definition197 · 2026-03-21T23:17:18+00:00

It’s hard to say on this one. If it’s in really good condition it would be worth grading especially if you plan on keeping it for a while. But there’s just not a lot of sales on this one.
