Thanks hermano!

While others are chasing sexier inserts like all aces, bowman anime and hidden gems, we’ll slowly build up our collections of this under-recognized but attractive serial-numbered insert chase set one card at a time!

Happy hunting!

It looks like the previous two, but it makes the pop count of this card to be as low as 3 and to as high as 5 different copies.
Watch these “errors” become more valuable than the stamped cards because of the lower pop.

There would have to be some kind of official announcement about these where Fanatics says there’s less than 24 of the unstamped cards. I don’t see that happening. As of right now, someone could be sitting on a stack of hundreds of them. We just don’t know.

I guess it depends if collectors develop a thing for escaped inmates or not.

…and the non stamped Ohtani gets ended early again.

This has happened three times.

The other two copies have actually “sold”.

Just an FYI, Scottie B posted a new video where he polled IG followers on the visual appeal of SSP inserts. Gold Storms are in there, but I will note that I think they only looked at 2025, and no consideration was given to serial #/print runs. It's like ten minutes, so it's a pretty quick watch.

Strokes of Gold also in there for you MiamiMarlinsFan.

Fun video to watch, it reminds me how many different inserts are available out there for you to collect.

Gilded gold storms are the only serial-numbered inserts in his top 10, and he still isn’t completely sold on the 2025s. He does say “maybe in a few years”, lol.

IMO, the more we stay out of the limelight, the better.

In a few years the Judges, Ohtanis, and Witts will be in the hands of deep pocketed collectors who aren’t interested in selling… unless you really break the bank.

Well the timing of that was crazy, I just upgraded my 2024 PCA PSA 8 to a PSA 9. You guys will see my PSA 8 for sale soon. Hermano, don't you have the other PSA 9?

Yes!

Good job on the upgrade.

I don’t think any 10’s will ever be available.

If your card is a 9, that means the total pop report for 9’s will be three.

Oh, I’m sorry about misinterpreting it as a grade bump.

Glad you were able to hunt down the other one!

Are you thinking about doing the entire set now?

Man, he’s going to be out another month or so.

The guy can’t catch a break.

Still a beautiful card though!

I wonder what that raw ‘25 Judge will end at (did it end already?). In general, are you seeing 2nd year Storms outpacing the 2024 cards?

I’m seeing a real surge in interest for rare inserts. I got a raw ‘24 Judge Strokes of Gold for $170 close to release (it would later gem at PSA). Raw ‘25 Judge Strokes of Gold are going for $330-$400 months after release.

The raw judge is closing tomorrow. Two previous BO sales were for $3000 and $1500.

The second year cards are definitely selling for more than the 2024’s this far from product release date. Then again, I don’t think I’ve seen a 2024 judge on eBay for almost 9 months. The last sales of a 2024 judge was for around $850. It’s hard to say what a 2024 would sell for now as many dynamics are at play - perhaps fewer set collectors for 2024 at this time versus 2025, but maybe more player collectors in the game who don’t own one? Who knows?

Regardless, observing the maturation of pandemic newbies and their card choices has been an interesting activity.

It's interesting, I collected both Gold Storm and All Aces last year and this. For some reason both of this years sets have sold for more than last years, even for the same player. I guess it's the new thing, but really it seems like nobody noticed em last year.

I blame the 90’s. Rare inserts from the 90’s are scorching hot right now and I think a lot of ultra modern collectors are trying to get a jump on that for this era. It’s somewhat recent too. As I got priced out of good Judge RC logo cards, I started to look for rare refractors/inserts from 2018-current. The buying was good for a short period, and then it felt like everyone got the same idea. Some of the cards I snagged for $200-$300 are now triple that. Very lame.

The 2025 judge sold for $2651 in the middle of the night/early morning, about 3 months after product release.

3 months after 2024 gilded was released, the 2024 judge was selling for about $400.
