Second, show me where I said one label outsells the other. Please.

I simply said that the non bat down label COULD hold more value because down the road the hobby will know that those cards are not trimmed or doctored.

I will keep believing that you offered me $1200 in cards for a $2k card, because I have the PM’s to back it up.

I mean you did post this and said WILL be worth more - just saying will vs could is different .

2017 BC MINI PSA 10 over $200 now? That has to be a mistake.

I find it odd the 2017 mini, base chrome and mega PSA 10s are all selling for roughly the same price. Mega box used to sell for 1.5-2x base chrome.

Thanks! Was super happy with it overall. It did include a 2018 Sapphire Acuna I pulled myself that 9’d, but I don’t have it back yet, as I’m considering a BGS cross-over.

I missed with some 9s on non-Acuna stuff, but my eye must have been extra sharp for his stuff.

Penmenship is so important, and it's sad a lot of these expensive cards aren't being signed better by these guys. I don't even know what the heck Gavin Lux's autograph is. Mike Trout's is so simple, but he signs a lot so that makes sense.

Another guy who had a beautiful signature, but unfortunately is no longer with us.....Tony Gwynn

Does anyone else find it funny that in a post calling out people for their poor penmanship and guys being too dependent on computers nowadays, there is a grammar mistake involving the correct use of their/there.

Not sure..I've heard these are only 1:100 cases.

I didn't even bother to ask about the ssssp. I doubt anyone will pull this one.

honestly, the mislabel could be worth a little bit more to that one Acuna buyer out there, could fall under a "oddball" type of card, even though it's more of a mislabel from PSA.

if that story is true, that PSA wasn't fully aware that the Bat Down was a SP and not the regular rookie, then it's an interesting story.

to most collectors, it's not a big deal. but to some, it might be.

Speaking of bat down, another strong Sunday afternoon sale of $660 on a raw

It might never matter but I do agree that if the cars continues to increase in value so will the temptation and attempt to trim. If that’s the case the old labels will give buyers a certainty that the card they are buying is not trimmed and could definitely see that carrying a premium. How much of premium who knows

Update Chrome Refractor PSA 10 hit $475 tonight. Still has a lot of room to run, imo.

Wow that is awesome! Congratulations...!

Just wondering, would you be willing to share how many sets you opened before hitting the acuna? Understand completely if you don’t want to say, but I just wanted to ask...great hit in any case...

[oplum29]

fellas, check this out, LMK what you think:

won this Acuna Stadium Club rookie autograph:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/RONALD-ACUN...T/313130363423

i'm checking the card out, and it looks off, maybe trimmed from the left side compared to another Acuna like this.

then i find this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-Topps-...p2047675.l2557

seller used the exact same photos as the previous seller did. anyway, i ask about it possibly being trimmed, and he went off about work and how it's just a hobby and whatever, but i'm really doubting this is legit, even though he has solid feedback.

anybody?

I tried to win this but was 2nd highest bidder. Was also 2nd highest on the PSA 10 bat down auction the ended last night (Khal's). Oh well

Thank you!

I purchased 15 of them. The last card of the foilboards of the first set I opened was the Acuna.

I decided to open the rest. Figured the Acuna paid for the other 14, so what could I really lose.

Pulled two Judge and 1 Alex Verdugo out of those, so not much.

Realized after opening the remaining 14, how lucky I actually was.

I bought a 2017 BC Mini a long time ago. I never owned one before, so I had no idea just how "mini" they were. I'm glad I have it now with the recent price increase, but I probably wouldn't have bought it if I knew just how small they are. It was under $10 at the time, but I agree, a very strange card.
