Incredibly so as it only takes two without any established market.

Are the odds posted somewhere for like these new inserts? The sell sheet I was looking at doesn't have the odds on them....and my bid would be different on some if I knew if I was getting 5 of them in 10 cases, or 500 of them.

Question:

If Pete Rose is banned, how can he have autos in a Topps/MLB product? Just curious.

Houds, I would gladly take the Luis Matos Rookie auto spot off your hands if you’d like. I will pair it with my other Giants Kyle Harrison auto spot. No worries if not.

On another note, good luck to all! Bummed to miss out on the local guy I wanted, but that’s the way it goes and I hope everyone hits great cards!

That would be awesome! I’m excited to be back.

There is 1 truth to player auction commentary regarding any certain player after an auction concludes:

The only smart play was whatever the commenter was willing to bid. Everyone bidding lower is a fool who doesn't understand true value and everyone bidding more is a sucker who paid too much.

Agreed, and you have the perspective and history to know! My only correction would be that there is that stubborn reality about facts and math...and though the complaining on both sides will continue evermore, not all spots are winners long-term. But it sure is damn fun along the ride! Thanks for what you do.

True, but sometime winners can be losers and losers can be winners.

The highest spot I ever sold was Jasson Dominguez auto at $100k (that might have been his 100 & 10 casers combined though).

That spot was a winner if you sold immediately as he was hot right after release. Then it was a loser if you kept selling because he cooled for a couple years - you needed to be buying in 2022, not selling. Then it was a winner as he was white hot in 2023 - if you could have held that long, you would be a genius.

So many people called that a dumb buy, but it was actually very smart - but it all depended on timing.

The winner of that spot was still bidding last night - so I don't want to get into his business, but I can only imagine he sold at least some at the right time.

-------------------

Selling Julio early would be a mistake, but holding Bayron Lora would be a disaster. It almost always depends on timing.

You just keep running the auctions and I will sometimes still occasionally upbid myself for you.
