Wow that's a beauty. I really like the Gypsy refractors!

Phenomenal!

These are actually a little underrated at this point. But if Soto had a rookie-year Reverence, people would break the bank for it.

This was one of the pricier purchases I've made over this month or two getting back into things but have to say I'm pretty pumped about it

Those are great cards. Really attractive IMO and with lottery type pack odds I think they're way underrated/undervalued. How many patch autos with RC logo does Topps make in a given year? Beyond the Dynasty cards and Inception I think maybe just some inserts in Topps Fire and Bowman Platinum. Maybe more than that and I guess that's a fair amount but pales in comparison to Hoops and football it seems like.
To me that's a very special flagship card.

A Topps Update gold PSA 10 sells in the $400-$500 range.

The Meijer purple also sells in that range. (Dang it! I declared I was done buying Vlads before getting a Meijer. I might have to break my oath...)

It might be a stretch, but it’s possible you can still get a 2016 Bowman Chrome auto for $500.

Probably nobody even remembers that oath it was so long ago.

I’m w/ Eye 4 on the Topps Gold / 2020 PSA 10 that’s a card you cannot go wrong with. That'd be pick #1 for me as well. Sold my two back in the day (currently have a beauty back at PSA tho) and still kick myself believe me ! And it’s a broken record with me but still a huge fan of the Update Pointing SP in PSA 10 due to the crazy edge chipping up top. Also sold my SP gems (yes,I am stupid) but I have all my Golds and SP’s in the raw now from selling my 10’s. Big fan of these !!!!
Signed,

I agree that the pointing SP is a good one. It’ll cost a little less, too.

The last of my modest offseason Vlad pickups. Let’s hope the young fella can get off to a good start.

2019 retail was good to me. The Mothers Day, Gold, 150 stamp and NNO were all fat pack hits. Even hit the Bowman Red Shimmer out of blaster box on release day.

Decided to open a 2019 Topps Update Yellow Walgreens hanger last night and pulled this bad boy. It wasn’t flipped over like I’ve seen other SP and SSP cards though. Almost just went right over it.

Holding strong. Thanks for asking.

There’s an NNO BGS 10, with it’s only 9.5 being centering, that could be had for $450. Of course, centering is the least significant issue, so this is basically the absolute best a card could be without being a black label 10... But it doesn’t concern me. Hopefully a fellow BO Vlad collector can snatch it up.

I mean, yeah, I wish I had a Meijer purple and a complete-set foilboard. And yes, it would be nice to have a ‘20 Stadium Club Chrome shimmer refractor auto. But I can live without them. (Why is my forehead sweating profusely as I’m typing this??)

Stay strong. He's got a bad body and can't play defense.

I see a Chrome...but you said NNO. Intrigued.

I'm sure you can find two to sell and replace with the Meijer and sparkle foil foilboard sparkle when they come along. It's going to be OK.
