I got the flex plan and specifically got the Blue Jays vs A’s day game in May to watch my favorite team, Bichette, and especially Guerrero Jr.

One of the few times I’m hoping to see a player hit a bomb or two against my team hah.

You weren’t alone. Even a girl I was dating in the early 2000’s couldn’t get past his name.

How about the wheels on FatBoy?! Going 1st to 3rd on a line drive single to CF then scoring on a medium deep fly ball to right

Unreal sale...BGS 9.5 Blue Refractor Auto /150 sold for $9,000. That's almost double what it was selling for just a few months ago.

110.6 mph groundout. I'm certain I heard the Royals SS fart as the ball was hit to him.

That was ripped and a nice play by Alberto! I think even he was surprised he snagged it. Lol

I'm hoping for extra innings so Vlad can extend his hit streak

I have 3 Vlad Jr. Transcendent RC’s (2 BGS Gem+ & PSA 10) and I’m considering moving a BGS. Am I wrong to consider moving one or should I HODL? What do you think the going rate for a BGS would be?

It’s really hard to say. No Vlad Transcendent has sold in nearly three months. There’s only one currently listed on ebay, and that’s a BGS 10 from COMC, where it’s listed for $1,799. (So we know it’s less than that!)

For such a rare niche card, when the Vlad market is just starting a major ascension (hopefully), the only way to truly find out is to auction it.

Bought this in March at an overpay around $500, but now I'm feeling pretty good about it.

I know this is a horizontal PJ card(strikes 1 and 2 for but it is quickly becoming one of my favorite of Vlad’s cards. I love the close up image the look in his eye and clear view of his name. The foil pattern is pretty cool in hand, too. Galactic /25

I'm not usually risky..but I bit on my Vlad Blue Refractor BGS 9 Auto RC for $525 before the season started...I wanted a couple of nice Vlad's for the PC, and this is the one I targeted. Glad I did as well!

I cant decide to pull the trigger or not on a 2019 Sepia PSA 10 for $250. It is off ebay so no tax.. Not a huge fan of the Sepia, but I just keep buying his stuff, lol

I like Vladdy.. That is the problem, lol. I'm a Blue Jays fan, so that blinds me

I need to stop looking at eBay. I keep spending money every time I do. Way too many good deals to be had with much room for growth.

All 3 are great cards that every PC should have.

I saw how low the population report was on the All Star Stamp PSA 10s and I like how the image matches his foilboard. I picked up 5 for $50 each. There is definitely room for growth. PSA grading fees alone would be over $100 and it would take 8 months to get them back. I’ll have them in less than a week.

Would really appreciate if everyone would stop using the phrase "room for growth" in the Vladdy thread. Those are words we don't want to hear . .

Some of you might remember last week that I bought an US1 Vintage Stock for about $220 (with the qualifier that it was listed as VG). A Topps Chrome green refractor, which has the same print of 99, is at $370 with six hours ago.

A Chrome blowing past a flagship of the same print run was unfathomable a year ago. Heck, even back in December I bought a green refractor for $100.

I fully support the Chrome surge, but we need a paper surge, too!
