Someone posted these on Twitter. Any idea why they're blue? He said straight from Topps.

At this point, we really do have to consider that card #88 an outlier (Ryan/Vides as well and maybe some others)

All Trout cards are outliers as well because he will typically outperform his Print Run in terms of selling.

I don't need #88 since I already have 2-Shore Cards (Brett and Rivera) so I haven't been tracking the sales. The way I am collecting, I only need 2 of each artist and 2 of each player (40 cards total)

Those are blue from the Shore Griffey tears. Means Topps is moving things along faster. How great is that?

You are in a better position than most people then. Do you think it is too late for someone starting today if they started buying the 10 pack deal?

I feel bbdtc is meant to be funny in an absurdist way. He’s a jewelry designer in the hip-hop community, so in that context it definitely fits.

Ben Baller’s cards carry a heavy 90’s influence, which I love.

To each his own though.

The Clemente and the Ripken today is going to be a nice 2-pack to get.

Or 10-pack for some....

Absolutely not. Just buy the right ones.

I screenshotted this post so I can come back and quote you in January or February. I’ll make sure to update you on all the cards post shore Griffey that I sell, as well as the average profit and total profit from all the cards.

Stop typing and start buying.

Hang on, if you are buying and holding that is not at all what I was referencing (and you know that).

So you have never sold a $17 pre-sale, got it.

Btw, I love how anybody with an opinion is "salty", so dumb.

So he may only make $7 on the Griffey’s but $15+ on others.

Besides this is a pump thread.

It's been my experience that when people find a way to make real money they stay quiet about it because they don't want other people becoming competitors on the market.

Unfortunately these bot guys are hard to detect

Dozens of email accounts
Dozens of Credit card numbers (via gift cards)
Dozens of addresses (via Ups stores)

These clowns have all of these things in place for their other bot driven businesses such as sneakers, tickets and even pop art releases (like mr brainwash)

Everyone — don’t forget to buy a 10-pack of the Grotesk Gooden before the clock expires today. It’s sure to be an SP.

My initial plan, and future plan, is to buy a few extras to flip to fund my purchases. Not trying to get rich. But I'm waiting until PRs come back to Earth before I buy any more than I actually want for myself again.

That's the tricky thing. If I buy the most popular player, then the Print Runs put my resell at risk. But if I buy what should be a lower print run card, the lack of player popularity causes risk to my resell value.

What does "come back to earth" mean to you? 2000, 5000, 10000 (about there now)?

i can see that as safe for sure. If there are still people out there who have not yet heard about P2020, there still might be room for 10,000 print runs to remain solvent.

I'm not a fan of Baller in general but that Ripken looks great. I feel like Cal may wind up with the best overall set.

From Sophia Chang discord:

Hi everyone! Excited to share my Roberto Clemente card dropping today! Autographed editions will releasing this Friday, 12 PST/3 PM EST on my website shop on www.Esymai.com!
AND Autographs for the first 5 cards will go on sale with a different player per day starting Monday 6/15 12 PM PST to Friday. I only purchased enough earlier cards for my PC and didn’t want that to limit the fans getting autographs so it will be a send in program for those cards and a much smaller edition.
Lastly, I wanted to celebrate all this with a giveaway for the Discord community! Whoever guesses closest to the PR total for Ben Baller and my card wins an unnumbered autographed Clemente card! Thanks for the support!

I'm curious what other avenues there are to sell these when you say outside EBay..there's here but you can't sell presales...stock x..cant sell presales..instagram/fb..i tried moving some on IG (earlier cards and got zero interest and i was pricing under ebay)..im guessing in person..but not everyone has that option. I guess my thing is..if you could afford to hold these 10 packs for a later date you might be ok bc I imagine when the cards are in hand people will list asap and the cycle of undercutting begins again
