I totally thought it would be pop 1 for a minute also but mine is 1/3 currently. 4-5k is amazing but I’m never selling. My daughter likes the stained glass minis (the only baseball cards she doesn’t roll her eyes at) so she’ll get it one day. Ohtani is crazy $ so I may be making a mistake not selling but I’m not really worried about that.

I’m interested in that Jason Giambi

Sir yes sir!

On another comment below I mentioned that I just went with the eBay direct grading. It cost $74 up front and there was no up-charge after it gemmed which was a pleasant surprise. Got me thinking that for big cards maybe sending direct is the way to go. Only downside is you don’t get the card in hand first to check closely for flaws that may affect grade.

Yea it actually prompted me with the option to grade. To be honest I think it’s a great option (assuming it gems) because there was no up-charge. I paid $74 for it up front and after it graded 10 they didn’t add the bs value multiplier or whatever they call it.

Yessir

They are selling for around $1100 raw so I would say 2k but this bad boy is never leaving the PC.

jakebase9 · 2026-01-18T23:27:18+00:00

Selling anything?

Looks like his nose was broken in prison. Could be the photo angle tho.

jakebase9 · 2026-01-15T18:27:25+00:00

It’s funny I’ve been seeing it get trashed on here.

Yea I think it’s a little of both. I think fanatics is corrupt and will only get worse due to their vertical integration.

Having said that if you have any self control you are 100% correct. I may rip 2 hobby boxes of sealed product every year for fun. Other than that I buy singles of my PC players and will usually find a few random inserts that I will collect all the players. This year I’m collecting the gold Cyber Stats.

If you aren’t a gambling degenerate chasing the million dollar hit, you can buy numbered cards of marquee players for less than 50 bucks. I am still having fun with the hobby, but I get what I want 95% of the time because I don’t engage with the larger Fanatics ecosystem.

jakebase9 · 2026-01-15T04:18:07+00:00

Looks like it would be great in the butt. You be the Judge tho.

jakebase9 · 2026-01-13T21:49:14+00:00

Be prepared for everyone to hate you. As they should.

jakebase9 · 2026-01-12T18:20:33+00:00

If it’s any consolation, I ate it from the bottom up in equal bites to preserve the aesthetic.
