Great pickup for both of you! I agree, this is a nice one to get. Last I checked it had a fairly low pop too, but it's been a while since I checked. (picked mine up for $50 in Feb of 2019 )

What is crazy is that I got my psa 10 for $150 in February cause I didn’t want to pay the $500 plus for the heritage action and I like the xfractors and now the cards are around the same price.

Yeah I am surprised the Heritage Action 10's have dropped so much. Definitely a nice buying opportunity for both IMO.

Very nice pewe! That is the s2 auto and not from update, correct?
The 83s are such a great value. On card, tough as hell to hit and the colored variations are ridiculously touchy.

What would you pay for a low grade bats down??? I’ve been intrigued seeing the occasional PSA7 go for real $$.

Does the reason matter? Like if it is a bad corner that is preferred to scuff on the face but great corners?

I have been offered a card by a friend who has a card he thinks might be no more than a PSA 5. It looks real nice, sharp corners, strong edges, decent centering (front, back is probably just ok), but he thinks his kid played with it while in the card saver and it ended up with what I might call “surface stretching” (front side only, back has no effect). It’s only visible when seen under bright light reflections at an angle.

Beautiful looking otherwise.

He knows I’m buying Acuna right now. And I do kind of want it, because it looks nice. But I can’t decide what a fair price is. Or if I should just avoid the hassle.

What do you guys think?

Some images so you see what I see... first is the issue, 2nd is what it looks like in normal viewing.

Some of these listings are just to temporarily sidestep the ire of a spouse.

Wife: “You spent our rent money on cards again?!@#?”

Sports Card Investor: “Just wait til this Bat Up dime sells next week. Rent and a little something for you.”

You might be right..
I'm always curious why someone does this..There's no way on earth that person thinks that this will sell.

Who's buying Acuna and keeping quiet about it? I see prices falling and cards selling so I know some of us are scooping things up...

I wonder what the bottom will be on Updates this year. Last year was $55. $100 this time?

If you consider cards to be investments then there’s no better gamble than RAJ if his prices are down right now. Monster 2021 season incoming (possibly)
