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

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.

I'm going for a 3ish hour drive tonight (attending the Jackson Generals/Montgomery Biscuits playoff game), so I'll have to stop along the way.
