What’s people’s thoughts on this as a trade in general? Worth it?

Messi and Ronaldo are guaranteed goat(s) who’s value won’t decline. I’d be leery of jumping the gun on that personally

I wouldn't trade any of my boxes of 2006 for Sapphire. Best value in soccer right now by a long shot for potential value.

Blowout up to $1,500

Thanks for the advice! My cost average was $345/box, so I am quite happy with the current trajectory. At first I was hesitant with all the ebay listings on release day, but a BO member (I wish I could remember who to thank them!) told me not to worry and just buy what I could. So glad I listened! Also thankful only 2 boxes were cancelled by a single seller!

Congrats on that!!!

That's awesome!!!

The two boxes I purchased from Topps are still with me and not going anywhere soon.

I think whatever you do, leave the stuff sealed. Thats where the guaranteed money is. The gains in sealed product will be huge.

The singles are really starting to move upward. Nice to see. Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe at $100 or better.

Yea, which is both good for me and pains me (slightly) because I picked up about 17 of them between 60 and 75 in the past few weeks. I just wish I'd scooped up more now.

I nabbed

5x Ronaldo base
7x Ronaldo variation
2x Messi base
1x Messi variation
1x Messi base yellow /99
1x Mbappe
&
1x Pulisic base (still very affordable)
2x Pulisic vatiation (still very affordable)

To the moon! lol.

probably for good reason.

Yea, that's not so important though for his card values (relative what they are now). Just hold until the lead up to the world cup. American market will pump up his prices then, whether he's lighting up the premier league or not.

Thanks! And yea, a bummer, but I think ultimately that doesn't affect the values too much. Haaland is the one that really matters to carry the product, and Fati will come back soon enough. But that's also why I've put so much money into Messi & Ronaldo. Very very stable, not speculative at all.

Stable is probably the wrong word. "Safest" probably better.

Puli is kinda funny, his card prices might be better off on Bayern in the Bundesliga popping in goals and feeding assists to Lewa. Just drive the America hype.

Unless they are going to play him as a 10, I don't see how he gets into the Bayern lineup. He's not playing ahead of Sane, Gnabry or Coman. A move back to Dortmund would be ideal.
