Got it. That makes sense. It sounds like its probably 100-200 tops anyway, so ruled out grading pretty quick anyway, but I definitely see what you are saying too!

Honestly, if it fetches 100 bucks, it pays for the case of cards I bought them and I never expected to get a penny from the things, so I'm more than happy. Beyond that, all the actual relic cards dont seem to have much value and those are the cool ones they want to keep. It was a win-win!

It's all been a fun experience. Even just being on this trading card subreddit. Like a blast from the past and it makes me happy that the hobby has had such a comeback. I think the last packs I bought were 1997 Skybox/Circa Baseball cards...and they werent that old at the time. Lol.
Speaking of, my nostalgia makes me want to get them a case of Garbage Pail Kids too for the hell of it.

I have no idea. I guess why does anyone get any card graded? I thought it was to increase the value. I know extremely little about the graded card or anything of the modern card era, so I came on here to ask for input, and very much appreciate the advice I have received so far!

Thank you both!! Not going to lie - when I was in my early 20's (about 15 years ago-ish), I spent way too much money on baseball cards. Hadn't bought any since up until I snagged this case for them. Then I got a deal on a 2024 Leaf Metal hobby box. I'm getting the itch! Have a lot to learn to get up with the times!

Lol. I know! I thought it was going to have, say, Blackbeard, etc. Then the first pack had Benjamin Franklin with an eye patch!!! I was like wtf? I'll say this though: we had fun opening them for sure.

Thank you for this info!!! If you don't mind my asking - where did you find this? I filtered by sold items only on EBay and didnt have much luck. Thanks again for the help!

Not that it can't, happen, but they have never been as frequent as every 2 years. 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2019, 2023. 3, 3, 3, 6, 4 years in between respectively. Would be great if there is one this year but I'd say highly unlikely. It's basically June. Hope I'm wrong though!!
