2024 topps gilded collection gold storm
 

I initially thought this was a parallel set to the base set but just realized it is an actual insert set! With only one parallel, the superfractor, these are a challenge to find as they are limited to 24.

I got lucky and was fortunate to pull one.

Anyone else like these or going for a set potentially?!??

Is this Gilded Mini?

I collect cards, sir, I don’t dabble in IT, lol.

[QUOTE=bub838;19784778]Is this Gilded Mini?[/QUOTE]

The scan may be mini, but I’m intrigued by the challenges posed by this set.

It’ll be a tough one. Only 3 Julios have surfaced so far that I know of.

May be a fun project to attack.

Love Gilded! Glad you got one, they are nice

Tough set to do, if I hadn’t spent so much on wax I’d try it—I hit 3 in 4 cases, beat the odds on those..I hit Vladdy Jr, Pete Crow Armstrong, and this Soto:

Sitting on 2 more cases but don’t plan to open for a long time. Holding onto all my Gilded, and I think the gold storms have potential down the road.—Matt

I’m a fan, I don’t own any, but they look great.

Man, congrats on pulling so many!

They are usually one every 24 boxes, so you destroyed the odds.

In this vast sea of modern day inserts, this one really floats to the top. I completely agree with the potential of this one.

I haven’t seen any at my local shows. I think most people have probably pulled them via breaks.

I’ve noticed all the vladdys are off-centered on the back.

They are legit, the etching really stands out in person.

Nice card, Matt! How'd you do on your 4 case break?

[QUOTE=eastbayak;19785205]Nice card, Matt! How'd you do on your 4 case break?[/QUOTE]

3 great cases, 1 dud

Skenes Yellow/75 Redemption (Redeemed/already got back)

I haven't followed the product much so I don't know about the cost/resale value but, regardless, that's a lot of nice hits (especially those Chrome autos, you hit a lot of good names)!!

What's your plans with the singles? Keeping or offloading most? If the latter, any particular ones you plan to keep for the PC?

For now going to keep it all--I toploaded all of it and have it nicely put away in a single row box. I really like Gilded, and with base cards/99, I think the gilded cards are all good holds, especially with this rookie class.

I have 2 additional sealed cases--with the Topps redemptions now not expiring for 10 years (2034), the Skenes redemption thing is not an issue..I plan to hold the cases at least 5 years and see how the rookie class performs..

Gilded is a nice product. Although I no longer own any singles of it anymore, it's still a card to include in one's PC for those chasing base (and parallel) rookie cards.

Haha yeah, sealed wax plays are a lot less risky (and more fun) with the 10-year expiration date. Best of luck on the sealed play too!

Topps kinda ruined 2024 gilded with the swirly stuff around the border. 2022 was perfect

The Mookie Betts Super sold at a good price the other day, I'm sad I missed it.

[QUOTE=here2havefun;19786007]The Mookie Betts Super sold at a good price the other day, I'm sad I missed it.[/QUOTE]

It initially went unsold at $1k. Then rerun and closed around $800 on a best offer.

Pretty good price considering the /24 base card goes for around $250-$300.

Yeah I saw the auction/BIN at $800, checking ebay saved search emails in the morning, and thought it was interesting. Went back later to pull it up, and it had sold. In hindsight I should have jumped on the BIN asap.

I thought someone would have hit the $1k, but we’re not in pandemic times any more.

I’m surprised the regular goes for so high - gotta be set collectors.

Pretty -- the design reminds me of the ending to the film The Natural:

I was told by a friend.

Finally found my first live one in the wild.
