    Beautiful card is the red outburst. Upper Deck make some very nice cards indeed.

    Bummer. At least it's 20% from a $200 box and not a $500 or even a $400 box. Getting $200 back from a $1,000 is a sickening feeling. Some people get lucky and pull Bedard in blasters and then others open 8 hobby boxes and nothing. You'll be able to get him for $300USD in the off season - maybe...

    Got my Bedard YG and 3 blasters. I opened one of the blasters and got 2 Young Guns, Kartye and Hunt. I'll leave the other two unopened for as long as I can. Tossing up whether to grade the Bedard. Looks to have a better than 50/50 shot. The bottom left corner looks slightly iffy on it but quite...

    Best pack you've ever opened?

    I haven't opened a huge amount of NBA but I pulled a 2018-19 Panini Prizm /25 blaster exclusive rookie of SGA. I listed it for $220 AUD in mid 2019 and it got bought immediately by someone in the US. That is a card I would still like to own. In a PSA10 that would fetch a decent price today...

    Footy Stars 2024

    It sucks being a Collingwood supporter period right now. I'm getting the feeling that what we did last year was a herculian effort by a team that crashed through a very narrow window which may have quickly closed. Brisbane still has upside with their list. So do a few other contenders. We have...

    Lol. I sympathise. Also living on the frontier of civilisation here in good old Perth - where the desert meets the sea. Local newsagent usually gets them about 3-4 weeks after release. I'm guessing after Easter. I haven't looked at the local card shops - one does not have a functioning website...

    Good one. Yes way better value when you are getting 4 YG's in a tin versus 3 YG's if your lucky from 2 blasters and for about the same money.

    Yes love the tins. I used to buy the 2019-20 S2 ones from SCC. Who are USSCA?

    I forgot about the 1/1 bounty. You are going to have to open those bud.

    They must have released SPGU early. Very nicely done getting the two hobby boxes. I can't believe they were that cheap on pre-sale. I just paid $145 for 3 blasters - with the 20% Afterpay discount. Think positive. Guaranteed base Bedard Star rookie and perhaps a colour one, or even an auto...

    1X hobby of 2022 Bowman

    Yankees, Mets, Red Sox or Cubs, lol. Miami, Tampa, D-Backs, Rockies, etc. and it's game over - even if he does well. Juan Soto might be a good bet right now if he goes mental at Yankee stadium.

    MMm. Personally I'd buy 2021-22 S2 at $75 a box. It's a deep rookie crop and someone will come out of that. I hate extended as a rule but 2021-22 also some reasonable names that could pop and those hobby boxes are $65. If they reduce 22-23 S2 to $100AUD I'd buy it. Still more expensive than the...

    Just watching a replay of the last cherry break a 4 boxer. I had Columbus. I won the Hawks in the random and Bedard came out in the first box. I'm on the board. Might have to buy 6X blasters to try and hit another one. 6 blasters cost $360 and you probably get 7 YG's. Better value than $500 for...

    Maybe you're right. I just noticed that Cherry are currently breaking it. Perhaps it's 21-22 Allure I was thinking of. If that is the case then that's unusual because there is always a significant lag between epack and main release. Maybe this is the new normal. Perhaps they have woken up to...

    I could be wrong but I think 23-24 S1 was still at least 4 weeks behind physical release which is still much faster than usual.
