Tough Times Lately Finding Retail ... BUT, Pulled a Topps Camo/25 Luis Robert RC!

Squinge44 · 08-01-2020, 12:32 AM

Yep, it’s been kinda sad here lately on the Retail market, but today I walked in a nearby Target and found (9) trio packs and (11) boxes of 2020 Topps Series 2!

Of course I bought them all.

After opening all 9 tri-packs and 5 boxes, only (1) Luis Robert Base RC and (1) ‘85 insert RC .... then box number 6! Medallion card was a Bo Bichette, so far, so good. First pack, once I opened I saw that I had a Camo card in the middle.

When I got to it, I had a gem mint condition Luis Robert! My weekend had already been a sweet one!

Nice card. I pulled one a couple of weeks ago from a Walgreens hanger. Any comps out there yet?

Ya, there’s two comps ... the $500/800 was the same card sold-resold and quite damaged. The other was 2k and $2150 and also sold-resold ... it had a bumped corner. Two others for sell .... 3k and 10k ... they both look better.

I got very lucky on this one ... it’s Gem. For whatever reason, it seems so many of the 392 card come out with flaws.

Yes! Lots of corner dings fresh out of the pack.

In 47 years of collecting, I've never sent a card for grading. Different reasons, though I've purchased numerous graded cards over the years. I do think I'll send this one in and maybe a few 2011 Trouts, 2014 TCU colored Betts and a few Acunas since I'll be sending this one in. We'll see.

I’m in a similar spot, haven’t graded anything in 15 years but I have accumulated a few rare gems that I just can’t attempt to sell raw.
