Fair. Seeing it linger on the site has instantly triggered some buyer's remorse.

No it did not! Can't tell if it was botted or just popular. The odd release times seem to open a window for lowly mortals.

Interesting week so far! Someone mentioned that JK5 was underappreciated on the boards and I definitely agree. I like this Fisk a lot, particularly now that I can see the details on it. Still on the fence for the MB Soto and thinking the Mays could end up being their best card.

I honestly don't think PR matters in P70....low PR isn't generating more value

I feel like JK5 is getting back to his roots, Ted Williams fricking lazer beams from his eyes style.

All JK5 cards are hard to make out, but this one is really tough on the left side, maybe too much red?

I actually like the solid block coloring on this one. I have a harder time making things out when he goes overly detailed, like his Vlad Jr or Reggie. Plus the homage to the Catcher in the Rye cover (both font and shade of red) is kinda cool.

I was sharing today's cards and somebody mentioned the Munson looks almost religious. AP unsurprisingly still available but the other 3 are out.

I can't get over the lighter blue line below his knees, though [on top of all else that seems weird and laughable about it].

Still a bargain though. Resigned with the Angels and didn't test the open market. I understand what you are saying though. I could have worded my original statement better.

The tattoo put me off from the Nevers card but now that I know it's real... well it doesn't make it any better. I'll buy the card now knowing the tattoo was not a Nevers addition

The bottom of the card seems to be a hip-hop reference.



Because they got more stories than JK5 got Salinger

Sources...
A Tribe Called Quest - Buggin’ Out
Got more rhymes than the Winans got family

House of Pain - Jump Around
I got more rhymes than the Bible's got Psalms

Last edited by GumstickStudios; 05-11-2021 at 01:39 PM. Reason: Added a pic of the bottom of the card
