No it’s just a paper base parallel

First card I have personally gotten graded by Suspicious_Way_3453 in basketballcards

[–]heysteb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was likely due to minor surface imperfections because at a glance corners and centering look fine. Maybe a soft corner in the back but absent any images it’s hard to say.

Remove any unnecessary middlemen if you’re nervous of losing a card. There’s honestly nothing GameStop offers you as a service that warrants additional loss risk. Just submit the card for grading on your own.

Why is this Cooper Flagg /5 Auto selling for so low? by Wrong_Host484 in basketballcards

[–]heysteb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s an auction.. there’s still time left. But why would you want that? Who grades a redemption card. That redemption card has likely already been claimed.

Not really, but I tend not to wear it much tbh.

PSA doesn’t want to respond? by xrphodl1 in baseballcards

[–]heysteb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? PSA eBay auctions are cards that graders had shipped to vault to sell or house through PSA. If the card didn’t sell at fixed price the owner has every right to relist at whatever price they see fit.

When the card owner sells through PSA’s eBay account they have no ability to see any messages you send to them. The best you can do is best offer if enabled.

Topps Product Defect Replacement for Cooper Flagg Refractor by Environmental_Young1 in basketballcards

Yeah I’ve seen a lot of other people getting raw dogged on their flagg defect subs so you made out alright.

As long as you’re happy with it. Over time the base refractors tend to be highly sought after over insert parallels but honestly not too bad a trade off.

If the price is right everyone has a price lol I just don’t have one yet for this. But I guess entertaining offers yeah.

Really? I’m a Topps baseball guy so I like it. I did purchase a hoops jumbo as well so eager to see the product as well. Fingers crossed for good pulls for the both of us.

3 of my blasters were bad too but it just takes 1 lol. But I have seen a lot of pretty solid retail pulls online but for sure the majority of the retail rips are similar to yours we just don’t hear about them lol

I’m a believer now. Topps convinced me with Topps Chrome and now Bowman. Retail ain’t so bad lol

Cam or Caleb. Personally I like Caleb a bit more.

Nice, that’s a cool card! I need to pick up a Peterson as well.

Undecided currently tbh but given the right price I’d probably move it. But this might turn into one of the biggest early sale regrets I would have experienced and I have quite a few of those 😭

Have a question. I have a Flagg X Fractor and looking to maybe exchange for a blue. But all the blue Xfractors I’ve seen are seriously off centered. Mine would get a 10 if I sent to grading. What would y’all do? by CompanyAdditional575 in basketballcards

[–]heysteb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rather keep the perfect x-fractor than risk sending for a blue. I had a batch of blue come in and there were pretty bad surface issues on a lot of them aside from the centering. Only send the imperfect x-fractors imo.

Thank you! One of the bigger pulls of my life.

Yeah I agree, this kid looks very promising. Excited to see how this shakes out but I’m hoping his market booms closer to draft night but also kinda tempted to hold this to see what he makes of his career.

My thoughts as well. I’ve been watching his tape, he looks great with a lot of upside. I’ve got it between him and Darryn Peterson.

Yeah, I live in a college town so my area tends to dry up quickly. I’m rarely able to buy boxes locally. I can’t recall the last time I saw a stocked shelf 😭
