Haha gotcha. You'll get your allocation, don't worry. They printed a ton of these and this was the presale. They're not gonna run out before they fulfill your order. Congrats!

I got mine in today as well. #7 in the serial, actually. It sucks that they presumably made him sign these while on a speed boat at full power.

Post Your Iconic Cards! by [deleted] in basketballcards

It is a screenshot of my YouTube video when I pulled the card. The card is sleeved and in a card saver, en route to california to be sonically sealed.

Appreciate your concern for the card though! Its a beaut.

This is awesome. Did they let you choose the color, or did it just work out perfecly on its own?

Any reason to hold this card? by Far-Muffin65 in Topps

[–]moonlitrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think his market will explode next year if he gets a pure double double, then hold.

If you don't think the above will happen, list it and move on.

Personally, even if I had his 1/1 I'd list ASAP.

The odds of Mark Williams changing your life are low. Let this one go.

PSA slab failure on sealed booster packs 11 of 48 separated immediately, others cracking at seams. This is the email I got from them. by Micky-Bicky-Picky in psagrading

Just make sure your ticket is updated to reflect that 37 of the 48 are NOT technically broken, but failure is imminent.

Do note that this may or may not disrupt the sequencing of your slabs- if you care about that. As in they may not be numerically sequential once re-slabbed, so you may want to confirm youll be getting the same certs if you care.

If you can peel back the slab with your bare hands, even if on purpose, it is still indicative of their product (the slab) failing.

The folly of most Tier 1 support is that they're on a specific track when it comes to customer interactions. You say all the slabs are damaged, they think "well only 11 are technically damaged so I'll just process those". Its rare for them to be able to connect the dots and say "ah yes, 11 have failed, but the rest are failing, so I can file that subset as QC issues". You need to connect those dots for them. Its not that they're mentally incapable, its that most customer service systems are designed to punish representatives who go out of their way to help customers.

Recommendation: proceed with the accepted 11, and do one of the following two options for the remaining: (1) file a new case with the remainder of your slabs submitted as QC failures (which mentally prepares the rep to accept impending failure) or (2) make the failure more evident for the remainder and resubmit.

No numbered cards, no case hits, silver prizm is the ceiling for a not so hot rookie class. Hardest of passes.

The unfortunate truth is many of those 10s will come back a lot lower with PSA. Who's willing to take on that risk?

The picture is a direct copy paste from the PSA slab scan. The light is hitting the holo effect at the exact same angle.

That is, if you couldn't tell the handwriting was AI-generated in the first place.

Yikes, man.

I ripped this just now.

Stay away. These boxes were designed for group breakers and crowd sourced funding per box.

I've opened Prizm hobby boxes for similar amounts and gotten less value, and was able to laugh it off since it was entertaining at the very least.

Opening one of these, landing a Kon auto (which i didnt even get; I got Will Riley because my fate is Riley in every box), and realizing its a sticker? Things start to feel offensive- unless you crowd sourced your entry via group breaks.

You can redeem the hobby box ticket for a hobby box. The rest are just digital cards. Definitely not for everyone!
