Never spending a lot but a few more I've picked up since the above post.

That’s a killer stash, Jim. I like the way you collect.

*Pic heavy*

Here are my recent Riley updates. As you can see, I’m a big fan or anything orange or gold. I’m particularly fond of his Bowman Sapphire Orange refractor.

JimEd14 · 12-31-2024, 07:52 PM

I love the sapphires, but what caught my eye the most that I wasn't expecting was the Gilded auto. Dig it.

Kudos all around.

You could only (maybe) insert "value" into this one, if you find that necessary, by buying 10 copies for a 5 spot and then grading a couple. Otherwise, this one will never cost more than whatever it takes to get someone to put it an envelope for you.

Riley had 4 WAR for 2024 on Fangraphs, but 5.4 WAR for 2024 on ESPN. Make it make sense.

My co-favorite 2024 Riley Greene card, with the Heritage photo variation.

JimEd14 · 01-01-2025, 12:15 PM

I really dig that Stars of the MLB insert, it looks a lot sharper in hand.

I love all the cards with RG in the throwback uni, it's why I picked up the clear /10 Rookie Debut on the previous page.

I will continue to hammer the drum that Rookie Debut cards are wildly under appreciated.

seanrs1 · 01-01-2025, 04:15 PM

I am also on record on saying RC debut are underrated. What I like about them is they use an actual photo from their debut game. A lot of other RC cards are photoshoped.

JimEd14 · 01-16-2025, 03:40 PM

A lot of odd mojo on the forum today. When that happens, I like to look at cards.

Added a few ...

With the discontinuing of the Black parallel, perhaps sapphire gold will be what I run. Added the 2024 which came out so stunning this year. His image blending with the "Future Stars", chef's kiss.

And I told you I love Pristine:

(and apologies to the other Riley Greene thread, but this is the longer standing thread with more images.)

Nice stuff! Is that a red or orange Pristine I see?

Red - Orange - Gold - Blue.

Stadium Club Gold Minted is one of my favorite parallels. Imagine my horror when I realized I didn’t own a Riley Greene Gold Minted! I had to remedy that ASAP.

base set · 01-22-2025, 11:23 AM

Anyone have some parallels of the A&G RC?

You know I love this.

I still don't have the hitting image variation though. That one was tough as I was torn between getting any copy and getting a gradable copy ... and now, I'm left with nothin'.

Isn’t it funny how some SPs are cheap and plentiful right up until they aren’t? I’ve had this happen to me a few times…

I’ve gotta say, the neon effect looks really nice on the Future Stars lettering. The picture doesn’t do it justice.

Cavs16 · 01-31-2025, 12:00 AM

One of my favorite Greene’s

JimEd14 · 01-31-2025, 12:11 AM

I had a bunch of raw RG's hanging around mostly from cheap COMC buys, looked them over and sent a few into PSA ... think I did ok.

Pleasantly surprised on the gold minted and heritage ... tough 10s.

Full disclosure, got an 8 on a silverpack gold mojo /50, just don't have a good eye for those.

MiamiMarlinsFan · 01-31-2025, 07:18 AM

Amazing stuff, Jim! That 2024 gold refractor is sweet.

Storm9819 · 01-31-2025, 03:32 PM

Grabbed this one recently, really like the Cherry Tree design
