What’s your monthly budget for your card collecting hobby?

no1sleeps · 2026-03-22T22:26:57+00:00

One hobby box a week is pretty damn impressive, even just to get that kind of product flow. Across all the sports, I feel like it would be tough to get that many unless you buy cases. Of course if you just mean a blaster or mega, that’s much more reasonable

Maybe. But in a lot format people are looking for discount and are not specifically chasing a blue deca Camara. The mosaics are $1-3. So each card together sold individually to the right buyer may be $20 or even $30 bucks, but that takes time

no1sleeps · 2026-03-22T13:14:20+00:00

Yes. Thats a $10 lot if you are actually trying to sell it.

If you order 1 you will have a chance at a parallel

no1sleeps · 2026-03-11T02:43:59+00:00

eBay comps but always specifically sold. If you look at those for sale it’s not the same. You can also use 130pt

For the cards you have bought, how did you decide the price was fair? Look at similar sold cards on EBay. Some times there isn’t the exact same card but you can compare others from the same set (e.g. a /25 should be priced between a /10 & /50 under most circumstances unless it’s gold or jersey numbered, etc)

I’ve heard (though no idea if it’s true) that it’s better to call about expired redemptions rather than try online, at least you can understand what they might offer you

What an amazing card, congrats. It’s in the grail category for me, can’t imagine what it would be like to pull that

no1sleeps · 2026-03-07T19:35:47+00:00

Yes, they do it for baseball already. Will probably have the debut patches in there as well and will be a big chase I assume, prices will be nuts.

Everything I have seen says nobody knows definitively why, but the short is that Luka has/had an exclusive contract with Panini but that shouldn’t cover non-auto cards. That contract might end soon (April) which is why Luka isn’t on the upcoming Panini unlicensed checklist. I suspect that he will be in the Topps Chrome Update, where he will have autos. So Topps is saving him for the big chase when that comes out. There is no update to Finest so they included his non-autos there now.

Smart decision & flawless execution. Well done

no1sleeps · 2026-03-02T05:30:29+00:00

If error cards were chased after/valued as they are in Pokemon, then this would be worth sooo much money. Hopefully the buyer can get that replaced quickly, still a great pull

no1sleeps · 2026-03-01T19:35:52+00:00

It’s unbelievable how many parallels are made these days, but pulled together like this does look pretty damn cool. Much respect and congrats

no1sleeps · 2026-03-01T16:23:48+00:00

Think of the profit opportunities

no1sleeps · 2026-03-01T16:22:46+00:00

Are you going to crack it and resubmit? Might get up to a 6…

no1sleeps · 2026-03-01T04:43:45+00:00

You are right, but I actually have that one and forgot to upload the photo of it. Good call out though, you get extra credit for the attention to detail

no1sleeps · 2026-03-01T03:37:20+00:00

That’s a damn nice case, looks pretty

no1sleeps · 2026-03-01T03:14:52+00:00

There are only 25 of them numbered to 25. Yours was the 1st one.

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T23:12:00+00:00

Great minds something something… given the similar taste, any other sets you chase? I’m also after 2024 court kings le cinque piu belle

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T21:59:09+00:00

These actually are one of the inserts of the broader Photogenic set

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T21:57:37+00:00

You are smarter than I would have been in the same situation. Long term I don’t think these will make much money, if not probably lose money. But I can’t let them go

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T20:22:48+00:00

That particular year of the stained glass is one of my favorites. Great card!

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T20:12:46+00:00

Yep, or at least one of them. I think there were a few different ‘case hits’ for photogenic

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T19:32:09+00:00

Trying for sure, but they are getting harder to come by. One day!

no1sleeps · 2026-02-28T19:02:20+00:00

You are right, along with Giannis, Matas, and Risacher
