one Acuna in 10 Hangers and you break even

Yeah I may end up going back for them, but online Walmart (Canada) also has 2018 Topps Chrome, along with Update Hangers, Blasters and more Holiday, though none are discounted...yet. You think Holiday is best of those options?

But to quell my sorrows I just bought a lot of 17 TC RCs for $115 dlvd

Gotta love volume discounts!

In theory you are correct, however out of 15 Acuna 250's I have, only 4 were worth sending in. They are very condition sensitive.

It might be me, but I bought 5 boxes and pulled the metallic and three base Acuna's. However, out of the 470 base cards, I only have ~120/200 for the set. This is from three different locations near me. I still don't have a Torres or Ohtani base. Some cards I have five copies. The last box I bought didn't have any I needed for the set. All 94 base cards were duplicates.

Now, I got lucky and Acuna is one of the many duplicates I am pulling. I think it depends on location.

I have 105 total US250

7 of 10 sent to PSA got 10
I have another 9 worthy of going
Sent 2 to BGS, got 9.5
The rest have some sort of issue that I don't see them getting a 10. I've opened a ton of Update, there are some good clean runs of him, and there are some tough runs with cards having same issue

MNmoose78 · 04-24-2019, 04:11 PM

This is what I decided on putting away long term (or at least that is the plan anyway). I do have an Update Gold that if it comes back a 10 I will keep as well for a total of ten cards.

Little white on the top right corner? Seems like it’s like that on some of mine.

From one Moose to another... DAYUM!

Nice PC...

jjeanius · 04-24-2019, 04:29 PM

So...that's a pretty good checklist of everything I have missed by waiting until now to jump in on Acuna, correct...?

Nothing to show off today?

Rabs · 04-24-2019, 04:38 PM

The middle row has the three cards I like the most. I still want an Update SSP and a Sapphire!
