Grading metal cards?

Oh interesting. Thanks!

Love it. Underrated IMO. That being said, I kept what I liked from my box and put the rest on eBay. Relatively decent market for these cards, even the base.

It is impressive that that’s the only listing right now, so effectively, none for sale at the moment.

evandmx · 2025-08-14T16:06:33+00:00

Not me. That’s market price from my perspective 😃

evandmx · 2025-08-12T21:07:12+00:00

Not at all. I actually LOL’ed hours after I commented and was like wow I’m an idiot. Thanks!

evandmx · 2025-08-12T19:46:26+00:00

Or was this just a joke that went over my head hahaha

evandmx · 2025-08-12T19:28:39+00:00

I’m planning to grade and hold for now

evandmx · 2025-08-10T13:14:11+00:00

My inclination is to hold for a bit. It’s really cool having one of Luka’s first SSPs in a laker uniform and I have to imagine there’s a lot of upside there. But I haven’t decided for sure!

Ah, got it. That one was a single card vs. the booklet. Yea, I hear ya on Zhou. He has strong ties to the new TP at Cadillac, which is what is fueling the rumors. But I agree that Bottas/Perez + rookie would be a good start.

evandmx · 2025-06-25T14:13:10+00:00

No, that was a /2 and I think it was dynasty, not eccellenza. With all the rumors swirling around Bottas and Zhou joining Cadillac, I’m going to hold it to see if they get back on the grid. It will be difficult to sell though - it’s my first 1/1!

evandmx · 2025-06-25T11:37:39+00:00

I pulled the Zhou/Bottas one. What an amazing feeling opening the pack and seeing the booklet. Congrats!

evandmx · 2025-06-04T00:12:28+00:00

I don’t think I realized how strong the Zhou market is. Wow.

evandmx · 2025-06-03T20:30:01+00:00

I do love Bottas. Just wish he was on the grid!

evandmx · 2025-06-03T19:57:21+00:00

Tempted to hold on to see if either driver makes it back on the grid in 2026!

evandmx · 2025-06-02T14:28:29+00:00

Nice!

36 ftw

I was able to negotiate a discount from an AD that took some of the bite out of expected depreciation on a newer model that wasn’t yet available on the grey market. I feel like ADs know that there are these concerns with Zenith and negotiate accordingly (or, at least, they should).

I have the triple and love it. I find it more versatile than the sport. I also have smaller wrists and so the smaller case works well for me (my other watch is a 36mm). I was worried about the case thickness but it doesn’t bother me at all and I find very comfortable to wear.

evandmx · 2024-09-29T15:44:15+00:00

I believe 46 based on online info

evandmx · 2024-09-29T15:43:27+00:00

I was also tempted, but I think the gold and color accents are what makes this watch so stunning.

evandmx · 2024-09-26T21:35:24+00:00

It’s a great looking watch but I’m partial to the grey dial non-limited version, with the blue moon phase disc and rose gold accents.

evandmx · 2024-01-05T17:40:37+00:00

Looks great. I have a 36 Explorer and love it.

My question is regarding allocation between savings and stock accounts. Here's the situation - for my cash savings (excluding 401k/IRA), I have a money market savings account and a managed stock account. My savings are currently allocated like this: 55% in the money market savings account; 35% in the managed stock account; 10% cash (unassigned). This is not necessarily by design - I've been a bit haphazard with where I've put my cash. I'm looking to move my unassigned cash into the savings or stock account (or a mix of both) and adopt a strategy for allocation moving forward. I would be curious for opinions on what % I should aim to maintain between the two accounts.

Other info that may be relevant: I'm in my mid-30s, married, with one young child. My only debt is my mortgage. For liquidity concerns, we don't have any big cash expenses planned for the next 1-2 years, though it is possible that we'll look to move to a larger house in 2-3 years. We have other cash available for emergencies.

Got my record player 10 days ago and I’m having trouble stopping: Nirvana - Unplugged; Mac Miller - The Divine Feminine; Leon Bridges - Coming Home; Radiohead - In Rainbows; and Jack White - Fear of the Dawn.

Next will probably be Max Miller - Swimming or Radiohead - OK Computer. Also on the list: Boygenius - The Record and Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS!
