Got it to match my retail one that I have here at home!

Love the look of the foilboards... although I haven't seen a hobby in person this year, the retail one just GLOWS!

Dumb question but is that why one is /229 and one is /299? I think i have both and didn’t know the difference.

/229 came in the red hobby box.

/264 came in the green WalMart retail box.

I wonder what kind of premium the hobby/229 may bring in the future without the big chance at goodies in da green to drive these being busted open?

eye4talent · 01-29-2021, 08:41 PM

I haven’t paid for a Panini product since I quit collecting football in 2015. But I felt compelled to break the streak for this card.

I’ve always likes the old UD Sweetspot autos that this takes after, and I couldn’t pass up a jersey-number rookie auto for $40.

Freakin’ ugly card, though.

Not a RC, but I absolutely love "The Man" inserts from 2020 Finest. They look especially clean in PSA 10, but I couldn't resist this at $35.

Holy crap, a PSA 10 Heritage refractor /569 just sold for $528 at auction. Last one sold for $260 a week ago.

I think the $260 deserves the "holy crap" more than $528. If I had thought for one moment that a Heritage refractor PSA 10 would go for $260 I would have been actively searching and it wouldn't have gone for $260.

No need to debate that since crossing would decrease it's value. Unless you really just prefer PSA slabs that much more.

Wouldn’t you only lose money? I know heritage belongs in PSA but that’s a 10 that will get a premium. If it was a strong 9.5 I’d say yes, otherwise you leave that puppy alone. It’s a beaut!

I'm pretty sure his comment was sarcasm, guys.

I was being serious. BGS seems to be losing steam and my curiosity is whether PSA would be preferred the way things are going.

I’ll leave it as is. Hopefully when it’s time to sell, a BGS 10 still holds weight against a PSA 10.

Oh, well in that case, just trade with someone for a PSA 10 straight up.

I would bet 100% of people holding the PSA 10's would take that trade.

Don't think you're wrong in BGS as a whole falling way behind PSA, but this is still worth a significant premium over a PSA 10. For the foreseeable future at least. If anything, sell yours, buy a PSA 10, and pocket some cash.

You all bring up some very interesting thoughts. I am contemplating trying to crossover newly graded PSA10's to BGS10's. I say "newly graded" as I feel its become harder to actually get a 10 from PSA. Previously, I would have had no hesitation in trying this for the increase in value. But....after seeing the trends in the marketplace and watching Ken Goldin's IG video, I'm not certain there will be anything to gain in the medium term.

Seems to be that in the current market, Investors want PSA slabs. Collectors want PSA slabs. I feel currently a BGS10 is still ranked higher than a PSA10, but I don't know if this is going to last.

Anyway.....I actually came here to post this absolute stunner of a card: 2020 Topps Chrome Black #6/10. What an amazing new release by Topps.

WalterAZ31 · 02-02-2021, 02:49 PM

I was wondering if I was missing something because the design is kind of beat, to me. But I kept seeing people post about how much they liked them. I figured there had to be something about them that made them much better in-person than through a scan.

Scans don’t do them justice. I bought a Bo and the scan looked dull. When you see it in person, then you’re like “ohhh...”.
