Also now the Blake run is gonna look weird displayed together, none of his cards have borders except this one, I guess McGwire does sorta

An artist didnt do what you envision they would do??

Afternoon udpate. Prices still level, however I'm concerned about the small amount of sell-through of some of the updated cards. Noticed ~10%-ish cards that haven't had a sale since yesterday, which allows downward pressure to accumulate.

Black out Tues effect ?

El Guapo : Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora. Jefe : Forgive me, El Guapo.

If you buy more, your odds of getting an auto are both greater and lesser.

To be precise, if you buy more, it could well reflect that others are doing the same and therefore your odds increase or decrease as a function of how much in proportion to the total sales increase.

Missed opportunity with this one really. With the hype about the bling, could have used the diamond effect like they had on the 2011 topps update. Or random insert /199 versions of that design.

Not a stretch at all.

Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

That would have been the better call

How about for every 10 pack you buy, you can get the Blake/Baller version for an additional $100?

I thought the same thing about the Ermsy Trout. The ugliest ones have the lowest print ones and are worth the most.

Go figure.

That means you just have to buy even more than everyone else to better your odds.

My goal by the end of this project is to pull at least one gold frame or trout auto. Not likley but would be pretty sweet. UGLI baby has me craving a 1/1 frame pull now.

Technically the artist of the card didn't do it at all, gaudy Baller did the damage

I wouldn't have bought it either way because I don't like the way Trout looks in this one, Baller being a part of the card just furthered my dislike.

Topps really out of touch with the project and missing a big opportunity by not having Trout sign the boxes.

unless of course the ones you buy are part of a group of 10 for which the auto has already been allocated. Then, holding everything else constant, you are increasing the print run without increasing the number of autos.

I still feel like #56 Oldmanalan Rivera is a strong buy at $400, #37 Beck Ripken at $125, #7 Grotesk Gibson at $325, and #33 Jamieson Mattingly at $160.

[BurnerNotify]

I think the Trout is cool although i'm not buying one - partly because i'm not collecting Trout or Blake and mostly because i took a nice long bath buying at the highs.

I've noticed StockX bids have ticked up a bit higher than some of the prices I paid the last few days on cards. At least i have that going for me.

Chance of pulling one auto if you buy

Let's say the print run is 100k if you buy 0, 0%

if you buy 10k cards your chance is 10k * 10/ (100k + 10k) = 91%

if you buy 20k cards your chance is 20k * 10 / (100k + 20k) = 166.67%

so on and on

[ctcardexchange]

If I can pull an auto, I'm 100% sending it to Blake to sign.
