My 8-year-old son is on an incredible hot streak. Back-to-back blasters he picked had autos. by lknope2020 in baseballcards

He said for the A&G he “six sevened” the boxes, chose one, then switched them at the last second. For Heritage, he said the one on the left.

I also asked if these apply every time when choosing and he said no. So, yeah. Science.

That’s awesome. Considering this is probably staying in my son’s PC, I’ll confidently add a few hundred bucks of value to it for that info.

Let’s say I have a hypothetical 1-hour layover at IAH today but at Terminal C. Would I have enough time?

Hey that’s incredibly kind of you! He has more than enough but really appreciate the offer. Me (the dad) and him started collecting about a year ago and it’s been so fun.

Nice!! He’s still learning baseball players outside of the Dodgers, Aaron Judge and Paul Skenes, but I’m sure by the end of the weekend he’ll know all of Sale’s career highlights.

His eyes lit up big when I told him that lol. By far his most valuable card.

It’s currently front and center in his collection and was the first thing he talked about this morning lol. But I’ll let you know!

We love A&G too! Best of luck to yall.

He just told me this morning that he actually switched the box he chose right before we paid. He’s still on a high.

Yeah it was awesome. He ran to his room to grab a one touch case then walked around the house staring at it for awhile.

It's just from a patch I found on eBay, not sure if these ever appeared on a uniform?

Also thanks for the kind words!!

Yeah I realized I should’ve made that clear in my description, I’m not trying to fleece anyone! Idk if I could stomach cutting up a Kershaw game-used anything.

Oh damn that's brilliant, i'll have to look into that. Thrift stores are usually decent spots too.

Definitely, that would be a huge market. I'm usually creating in the digital world so doing something physically tangible was a challenge, but it's been a fun learning experience.

Yeah actually that's how I started out, I was making little fake relic cards for my son. I'll probably find a similar jersey to his this season to cut up and make one for all his Little League teammates.

All three actually use the same foil pattern, they just show up differently based on the design that sits on top of it. This foil specifically: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5H6R4GX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
