Awesome snags. What do you think of Stroman as a long term hold?

Great time to be buying Flagship Black RC's. They will always be desirable, and the prices have crashed on them the last few months. Added a few over the past 2-3 months. Some as low as $5. 3 months ago grabbed a couple Mateo's at .99! None currently on ebay, and hes making strides with the upstart O's.

Agree, only an Independence version comes close.

I've been a Stro fan for some time. I love his game and he appears to have a good relationship with fans. I'm hoping he is a cornerstone on the Cubbies as they rebuild, but I think he jumps ship real soon.

My first 2022 flagship buy, they look quite sharp in hand.

Hey, I have two of those! We’re black brothers!

Wait, I didn’t word that correctly…

I've mostly stopped buying cards in general except for the Blacks of the players I want. Not sure I'll ever tire of collecting these

thats a sharp card b-rad!
I guess they chalk up the "weed stem indention" on the upper left border to a production issue as I've never seen a copy of that card that didnt have it and the graders don't seem to dock it much either

Man that's a crazy discount vs what that thing cost 18 months ago.
Great patient pickup

I was stoked to get it at the price the auction ended at.

This card has been on my want list for some time now. While I typically do not care for graded cards for my Topps Black collection, getting this highest graded example at a discounted price was nice win-win.

How does PSA pay people to promote them?

I posted this in the Yordan thread the other day, but it belongs here, too. It’s the jersey number.
