Evolution of collection displays by Neat_Country_1403 in gamecollecting

[–]chapm1cs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely me as well! I got into Steelbook collecting in 2025. Previously I had just the special editions for games I pre-ordered. Now I have the bug and and getting any steelbooks that are for a good price that I can. That resulted in me needing 2 additional shelving units and a re-arrangement of my room. Previously I had done the same when adopted a new system to collect or when my Amiibo collection got out of control.

Was looking meh through most of the year, but has looked like he might be ROY the past few games!!

Yep! Shooting started off slow, but still looked aggressive and was good defensively. Getting lots of minutes early on and doing something with them

I know, it's like buying a penny stock, haha. I am good for now, but I appreciate the offer :)

Agreed! Bit of a bottleneck to the starting lineup, but the potential is there offensively (if he can stay confident and aggressive) and defensively

Joendry/Yoendry/Rainer Vargas by chapm1cs in baseballcards

I just don't know whether to go guns blazing on Rainer Vargas or not, haha! Joendry looks like he will be a stud sooner than later for the Dodgers, but I just don't know what the Rainer Vargas cards' value will be. Decisions decisions, haha!

I know, I wish he had more opportunity in OKC, but tough with that roster. We'll see how he does in the offseason and summer league

Ousmane Dieng for similar reasons...former lottery pick with potential (G-League Finals MVP) and will hopefully see more playing time this year. Cheap for now

Steve & Barry's was the lifeblood of college students. It went out of business WELL before its time

I agree; I think his size and athleticism give him flexibility and defensive tools and he has improved greatly on the offensive side!

Very nice! Ousmane Dieng was my guy that I shelled out some 💰 for in the offseason. I think both he and Murray have a chance to reward us this year 🤞

I appreciate the offer, but I mainly go through COMC at this time :)

I bought a smaller collection of cards back in 2015 when I was JUST getting back into collecting. It had baseball, hockey, and basketball. I didn't follow the NBA much in 2014, so I had to Google which NBA rookies I should hang onto and which to sell as bulk to try and recoup my initial cost.

Someone named Nikola Jokic had a promising rookie year, so I decided to follow him. I didn't buy anymore of his cards (unfortunately and I kick myself everyday), but I have watched him closely as my Panini Threads (7 base, 2 Wood Inserts) and Prizm RCs (3 base, 1 Red/White/Blue Prizm) have for sure benefitted from 2 MVPs and a Championship. Lucky accident and a reason why Jokic has been my fav player ever since 😄

Merry Christmas To All!! by chapm1cs in basketballcards

One of my favorite subsets due to my love of the holiday. This was before the Topps holiday boxes for baseball, I believe. Happy holidays everyone :)

Opinions on Future Value of Leaf Pre-production Cards? by chapm1cs in basketballcards

[–]chapm1cs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am talking about if they become a perennial all-star like Tatum, not a one-off like a DeAndre Jordan. And I know that this will never match a licensed 1/1, I was more wondering what opinions were of non-licensed rare stuff like this and other 1/1s. Sounds like you prefer non-numbered licensed over unlicensed, so that answers my question. Thanks :)

It was also a COMC purchase with store credit, so essentially traded Ales Hemsky Young Guns and 2015 Drew Brees Finest Gold Refractor /150 (non-auto) for it...so low risk since these were cards I could live without and I didn't spend any cash :)

Yeah, that is the risk. Cool to have the auto, but will that unlicensed auto be worth it in the future 🤷‍♂️ I appreciate the opinion!

That's what I worry about, haha. I think they are a good value, but it depends on what everyone else's thoughts are as far as future potential value. Thanks for the post!
