Rip, the long term value won't be anywhere near what other 2018 sealed will be.

I disagree with this. I never liked the holiday cards before, but after actually owning one for a while, the Acuna is one of the few cards I miss owning. It was a great looking card.

The holiday has Acuna bat down photo, has less made than Update, and the Acuna Auto in this product are not redemptions. All of that together means these will hold value. Based on what research I have done, I am buying these 2018 products that I find (which has been none yet!).

1) 2018 Update
2) 2018 TCU
3) 2018 Topps Holiday
4) 2018 Series 2
5) 2018 HHN
6) 2018 Bowman Chrome

Those will also be all holds as well. I have one blaster of Series 2, and it is being displayed, I like the way they look still sealed and sitting on a shelf. I would like to have one of each of those so they can display together.

Well the Acuna auto saved you but maybe broke even otherwise? Are the 1:2 pack snowflake cards the metallic?

The Acunas alone will get you to even if just 1-2 are gradable. If Gleyber or any other RC catches on, it’s gravy from there.

What part of ATX are you in? Really nice hit on that Acuna. Your PMs have probably blown up from the usual suspects, but hit me up if you've got a price and are moving it.

I found 6 more at another Wal-Mart but have fought the urge and kept them sealed. Hoping that’s the smart decision.
