    Jayson Tatum

    Jayson Tatum is starting to look incredibly good of late. Boston fans must be delighted. On the prospecting side of things I bought a few of his base Prizms 6 weeks ago for around $12 on COMC. I flipped them for $16 and $17 respectively - a huge mistake. I then thought about buying back in at...

    Grading Question

    I'm trying to get a better understanding of the grading part of the hobby. I've just looked at 3 examples on 130 point of BGS 9.5 Zion Williamson Silver Prizms. Two of them went for around the $900US mark but one of them went for more than $1200. The $1200 example had 9.5 subgrades on all but...

    PSA Grading Question

    My first ever submission (12 cards) is now showing as being at the shipping stage of the time-line. Is there anyway to see what grades you received? or do you have to wait until you physically receive the cards back? Any advice much appreciated

    Ben Simmons

    Firstly, Simmo rocks. Never mind the 3 pointer - it irks me no longer. The rest of his game is outstanding. And he brings serious effort. Philadelphia just showed that they are legit contenders imo ( I was writing them off 2 weeks ago). Limiting Horford's minutes might be the key to it all...

    Blazers

    Important win by the Blazers today. They have been the surprising disappointment so far this year, given how good they were last year. I think they can make the playoffs and maybe even get as high as the 6th seed - and they did it without Melo today. As serviceable as he's been( more than...

    Baseball Mailday

    A few of the cards that arrived from COMC today. The highlight is a 1980 Topps PSA 8 Rickey Henderson Rookie card. Love the card. Also starting to become a big fan of Topps Archives( and Topps Heritage). The Soto card form 2018 Topps Archives in particular is a beauty. The NFL cards are of...

    2019-20 Donruss Optic Prices

    Just saw some pre-sell prices. Looks like nearly a 100% increase on last year's release. I like the product but this is annoying. I'd be ok if it's just Zion mania and the hobby boxes drop back to around $220 ( their prices for last year's release)next year but that's not what's going to...

    The NFL

    For anyone who likes the big picture stuff in sports as I do, try to get a hold of last night's episode of First Take on ESPN. It discusses the big picture issue in the NFL, namely: the latent racism that sees a white Wide Receiver coach from New England leapfrog a coaching level ( co-ordinator)...

    Hypothetical question: I've just won 5K at the track. Which Luka's do I buy?

    2 x Silver Prizm and 3 x Holo Optic? There seems to be a growing consensus that he is having a better 2nd year than LeBron had...and he's more skilled than LeBron was in his 2nd year.

    Sekou Doumbouya

    I was looking through the Blowout threads last night and came across a Sekou Doumbouya thread. I've just started to look more closely at this year's draft class and would like to start investing in a few. Anyway, the poster is one of the more astute members on there - if not the most astute...

    Simmons Holo ( and Trae to finish off Prizm master set)

    Didn't expect this bundle on Christmas Eve. Impeccable timing by COMC

    Delete Please

    I have just posted the 3 autos. I did get one nice parallel - a Blue Refractor of C.J Adams ( 6th overall pick and arguably the most sought after player in this product). The reason I only posted the 3 autos is because all the other cards are back in their packs. Late at night early this week, I...

    Delete Please

    Decided to purchase a couple of boxes of junk wax recently ( 1986 Topps and 1987 Topps). What I have learnt from this is that you should only buy sealed product. If you don't, you may end up with a box that has an ingrained smell of dank basement running through the cards

    Simmo!

    Simmons scored 34 pts and drained another - encouraging - 3 pointer. The sky really is the limit for Benny boy. I watched the Indiana game in full recently. His defensive efforts were off the charts and ultimately won them the game ( the chase down block following a turnover was insane). If he...

    Ben Simmons

    I just impulse bought a Ben Simmons 2016-17 Donruss Optic Holo after watching him drain his first 3. I hope I won't live to regret it. I'm not suggesting he'll end up being compared to Damian Lillard but if he can add a 3 point shot and some mid range jumpers he (and Doncic... and a few...

    Kyrie Irving

    The Nets beat the Bulls minus Irving this morning. There's been a lot of discussion about his style of play and how it impacts those around him. I don't even think it's a debate that he made an ascending Celtics team worse last year and that they are better this year with Walker,who brings his...

    PSA Submission

    Could anyone advise me which of the three addresses PSA provides at the end of the submission process I should send the cards to? The submission process isn't the easiest of tasks for someone unfamiliar with the process. The time difference makes it hard to contact them during business hours...

    3 and out!

    Should've listened to the voice that said " just buy 2 boxes of Prizm this year". This box was brutal. A stinker. 1 base card of a QB ( Stidham). 1! The first 2 boxes were, in hindsight, not just good, they were absolutely awesome. To hit a colour prizm of Jones in one box, and Murray in the...

    What to do with excess Prizms?

    What do collectors do with their leftover bulk lots? Sell as one lot? Split into sub-lots? Donate to sports club/organisation? Give them to a card shop( would they even be interested?) I have around 500+ 2018-19 base prizms plus another 40 base silvers and another 50 or so greens, ruby waves and...
