Understood! Will they dip below his RC??? And how soon?

They seem to be holding up at $15 a card. There were around 180 of Wander's 2022 Topps cards sold on eBay yesterday, so there's still strong demand for his cards.

180 out of 1,000,000… not sure that’s enough demand

PSA does not care about centering...

Most people don’t understand supply and demand as it relates to cards. Some understand how to try to influence the thinking of others about it for profit (see: creating FOMO, appealing to greed), while others are trying to learn (see: this thread)

Maybe half of flagship cards “stay in the hobby” every year given its heavy retail component.

However larger print runs enable people to remember what the card looks like, as does the popularity of the set. These factors generally can’t be overcome by those attempting to create FOMO and/or appealing to greed.

People clamoring all the time for cards with borders. I guess careful what you wish for.

I think Topps just had to keep the presses going 24/7, QC be darned.

Not that Topps has ever been accused of having a strict QC with cards before though.

Yup, that is a lot of Wander rookies! Only time will tell if the market can absorb that many cards.

No doubt ‘22 will be absorbed like a stain… getting it out that’s the hard part

Only if 10able. All look O/C TB to me

I’ve assembled a nice little collection of RCs and (RC)s.

Then 9s and 9.5s deserve premiums. The few 10s should be astronomical.

Pretend grading guys move the goalposts whenever it suits them. If the game were honest pop 1 commons would all sell for a fortune.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make, but I applaud your efforts.

For older sets, they do.

And badly - every card seems so O/C, other parallels, too
