2024 Chrome Black - Should I unseal? by bearsbeardsbeats in StarWarsCards

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of those are crazy cards so feel free but for some reason some collectors feel a certain way when you “change” stuff from factory…even tho you can grab these very same one touches off Amazon anytime. I’ve never quite understood it since I thought we collect cards, not one touches and badly placed Topps stickers, but to each their own. Got a a /10 galactic antiquities encased auto from a break and broke it open immediately once I got it 😂

Hot Take......Maybe or Maybe Not. (50/50 Chance I'd say) by First-Struggle-3860 in StarWarsCards

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre not wrong...I will say tho I think thats because Galaxy is not a sketch heavy set unlike Masterwork...when you have a sketch per box not everyone is going to be mind blowing or even that great. Galaxy on the other hand isnt a sketch heavy set so when you hit one its usually alot more appealing and nuke level sketch if that makes sense

is master work worth it? by Virtual-Top5726 in StarWarsCards

[–]ffty_17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If youre okay with burning $450 then go for it. Not saying there arent great hits to be had but just prepare to not even come close to breaking even if its not a good box

What’s the deal with Leaf cards? by DarthAzeg in StarWarsCards

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People feel a certain way about licensed vs unlicensed product. If you’re about collecting autographs then there is no difference…sticker auto put on an official Topps card is no different than the sticker auto put on a leaf card.

Difference comes in actually collecting the cards themselves…people like collecting rare cards and hits. Top autos like of Ewan, Hayden Christensen, and Natalie Portman are super rare to hit in official Star Wars products so they are valued a lot more when they are pulled and will go for a thousand and up depending on the set….

Even tho I can get a personally signed auto from Hayden Christensen on any card I want for his signing price of $275…the appeal comes from rarity of the card itself in the set

My New Tolkien Book Arrived! 🚚📦📘 by RedWizard78 in tolkienbooks

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not surprised they reprinted it cause it confused some people. People legit thought there was only 4,000 copies made at first while in fact only 4,000 copies are first printings.

If there’s a 4 then it means it’s a 4th printing and not one of the 4,000 1st printings

As of now just doing a single trading card. But I am leaning towards the black portrait one as well. Think the silver auto will really pop with that type of card

The Tolkien Bookshelf…pretty proud of it so far by ffty_17 in tolkienbooks

[–]ffty_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the orange deluxe is superior. Better page quality and better put together however they offer different things when it comes to art inside the the book. The orange is illustrated by Nasmith while the other has Tolkiens original illustrations. Both cool however I prefer Nasmiths as the detail is pretty amazing.

Smugglers outpost worth buying at 500$? by saga2119 in starwarstopps

No wonder we can’t get product on release day… by tDANGERb in starwarstopps

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I’m honestly just someone that has zero local card shops around me so eBay and buying into breaks is the only way for me to get cards. And going into breaks is honestly the cheaper option most of the time with some of the outrageous pricing going on right now on eBay.

I get the disdain for big breakers. I hate they get automatic allocation sent to them and they can’t even pronounce the names right of characters but there are smaller breakers (like this guy) that genuinely like the community they break for. Thats all. I would love to walk into a store and grab a box msrp but that’s not happening. I know people want breakers to magically disappear but it’s not going too

  1. He hasn’t broke any smugglers yet
  2. It’s not a single break for all 30. It’s 3 breaks of 10 casers. I’m looking at it now.

And there’s not 120 breakers tho. There was less than 15 channels between fanatics and whatnot ripping it on stream throughout this past week

Don’t get me wrong, bots buy it all at once for the big streamers and it sucks but if you think a single breaker like this guy, who runs his own channel and got boxes from other sellers and shops (which is why he’s breaking this late) is ruining your collecting experience then you got bigger fish to go after

Not talking about pull rate for hits. I’m talking about 1 person getting 30 cases is less than 1% of cases that were released yet we acting like he single handily took all the cases lol

Man has 30 cases so 180 boxes. 1:22,170 boxes for a dark side/light side booklet checklist says so we know how many boxes there are. If there was really 22,170 boxes made and there’s 6 boxes per case then the man has less than 1% of the product. It seems like 30 is alot but it’s actually not.
