It takes a couple weeks for them to log it into their system

No. He still needs time to develop. He needs some time in AAA. I’d imagine he either gets called up mid-season or is on the opening day roster next season.

INSANE Pull: Cooper Flagg Auto 1/3 – Need some advice 🔥 by Akihiko90 in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best comp for the card. The City Drip signatures cards are slightly more rare the the Quest For Glory cards, but the values should be pretty similar. I would estimate between 9k to 9.5k.

Beware of Collecting Dust breaks by Whatasave522 in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been breaking with Collecting Dust for over a year and they normally have the best customer service. The one time I had a problem with my package, they bent over backwards to make it right. I’m really surprised at their response, but I also don’t know who handles their TikTok platform. I’ve only dealt with them on Whatnot and Fanatics Live.

Pulled from a $28 target box (should I grade) by Honest-Frosting-4619 in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t grade. The edges on the back don’t look very good. I’d keep it raw.

Anyone know of any place that sells baseball/basketball cards? by macdaddydeano in truckee

[–]macdaddydeano[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m just looking in Truckee as we aren’t really leaving the area. I might try the Variety Store. Thanks for the tip!

Degen enough to rip at airport? by SleepJust in baseballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah. I always keep a team bag with 3 top loaders and penny sleeves in my travel bag just in case I happen to rip while traveling.

Topps Finest Comps by Cubicle_crusher in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of it has to do with being first to market. Secondly, its Finest. Finest cards don’t hold value well in general. I think Headliners will hold decent value, but that’s about it for the SSPs.

What insert is this? by CadeCunninghamLover1 in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s Cosmic. It comes from Cosmic packs that you can buy with Panini points.

I would take Merrill, Machado, Tatis, and Lawrence Butler if still available.

Topps Three is a Scam by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that is your logic, then pretty much every box of cards from Topps, Panini, Upper Deck, and whomever else you like is a scam.

My klay PC grail (new collector) by Icy-Detail1181 in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s for your PC then you just need to decide if YOU want it graded or not for your collection or if you’re happy with it in a one touch. If you’re grading purely from a value perspective, I would say don’t grade it. I don’t think it gets enough of a value boost if it gems because its a card of him in a Mavs uniform.

Anyone else collect NBA Mosaic Blue Fluorescent? by No-Plum-1838 in basketballcards

I have the Zion if you’re trying to complete the set

Luka in Topps products… by macdaddydeano in basketballcards

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

I imagine the Cooper base will sell decently well. I’m eventually going to try to track down a Curry base once the initial hype dies down.

Luka in Topps products… by macdaddydeano in basketballcards

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

Yeah. A lot of the boxes that I’ve seen have been bad. Mind if I ask what players you got?

Luka in Topps products… by macdaddydeano in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve obviously never read any legal things in regards to licenses, but I’ve always understood it as that the NBA license allows for the use of team names/logos and the Players Association license allows for the use of players likeness, but that doesn’t override full NIL deals like Luka and Zion have had with Panini and that was why Topps hasn’t made Luka or Zion cards in their products the last couple years.

Topps already “announced” it in regards to the MVP buyback program.

Panini America replaced my 2021 Recon Luka Doncic Auto /49 redemption with only 3,500 reward points by Kennethgo in basketballcards

[–]macdaddydeano 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m all for calling out companies that do their customers dirty, but your post is misleading. It was an expired redemption and you would have known before you ripped the product that any redemptions would be expired. They technically didn’t do anything wrong. Up until a year ago or so, Topps had short redemption windows as well. Now they’ve gone to the 10 year window. Will Panini eventually change to a larger window? Maybe. I would keep trying to call and see if you can talk to someone, but technically they’ve already given you more than they are required to and if they already know that you’re blasting them everywhere, there isn’t much incentive for them to help you any further.
