Beauty! I still need to track down the Bonds Gems and base 1999 Finest Gold Refractor /100. Is yours numbered on the back?

Wish I had a modern player I followed and rooted for. Very pretty card. How tough is Machado to collect?

hawaiicards808 · 07-01-2022, 05:22 PM

Yes! /100, they don't make them like they used to!

Going to be pricier than Iglesias, that card cost me $10.
Manny's veteran cards aren't going to break the bank, but there are some avid Machado collectors that go after his low numbered stuff so they usually get snatched up.

Here's a 2019 orange sapphire of Machado (not my listing): https://www.ebay.com/itm/20396647712...mis&media=COPY

Marco cards have taken big hits. I got this at half the price of my other raw red. All he has done is produce. I don't mind honestly, it allows me to get more higher end. I was not buying to quickly flip him. But I think Marco is a great example of market correction for way too high prospect prices and overall market decline.

Also can I call this a rainbow with 2 reds and the 2020 Super instead of 2019 Super? So I don't have to loose sleep about never finding the 2019 Sterling Super?

Awesome thanks for the insight.

My last second bid on the Sterling red was eclipsed before I ever had a chance to make it.

Not me, but was watching that closely. Wish it was, I would have just traded it to you.

This is a spectacular piece of cardboard. The photo, team color, that atomic sparkle—all works perfectly together.

I misunderstood in my previous response. Looks like I was bidding against you on the Sterling. Think I single handedly have inflated the Sterling Marco market.

Well good job winning the Bowmans Best. That's a nice one!

Agreed, it's one of the coolest looking cards I've picked up this year, for all the reasons you state.

There is another 🇨🇺 with a similar photo, but the purple is priced too high...

My wife says they're both "aggressive"...

Aggressive how, exactly? (Not my card.)

She used a different word, but aggressive in a suggestive way. Consider the bat positioning....

What logo is that patch from?

I don’t know. The Triple-A Buffalo Bison is holding an upright bat in that logo, but the colors are different. Otherwise, I’m at a loss.

Picked this up! It either came last day or June or first day of July - can’t remember already. But either way 1 very stoked! First A&G card and these chrome ones are awesome in person

2021 Topps Archives Deion Sanders Superfractor 1/1 -- Impulse buy, trade bait for the National this month. Hoping to trade for PC needs. Maybe get a nice vintage Mantle or two or PC need.

I know what patch that card is from.

At first I thought it was from the following brewers logo:

But then after I figured it was not it hit me.

I am between 90 and 99.9% sure it came from the following patch:

The jackie robinson day logo was used in 2018.

I'm not sold that it's from the Jackie Robinson patch. But even if it is, Bo's first game was in July 2019... so that would be an interesting patch choice by Panini.

His first game was on July 29 2019.

I was mistaken that jackie robinson day patch was from 2019 not 2018 and was used through out the year.

From an article I linked.

As has been tradition each April 15th since 2004, MLB and Clubs will commemorate Jackie Robinson Day at ballparks throughout the league with an added special element of on-field tributes for the centennial celebration of Robinson’s birth. MLB is commemorating this centennial anniversary throughout 2019 with the League and Clubs complementing efforts led by the Jackie Robinson Foundation.

This means they wore the patch multiple times and not just once.
