I don't even see the empty retail boxes on the shelf. I honestly think the guy who's supposed to deliver retail packs to stores around here just keeps them and sells them himself.
It’s worse for baseball bc baseball cards don’t even sell out like that. U N T I L they stock them with the Panini.

BO saying a whole lot of backdooring going on at Targets and Wal Marts across the country

This shyt has turned into sneakers circa 2014 :francis:

It was a fun ride while it lasted. This is the cost of all of our collections going up exponentially in value the last 2 years. RIP to ever finding retail basketball again

I'm looking through Goldin's next auction and it's wild how many more basketball cards are being listed than any other sport. It's a 4:1 ratio over football which has the second most listings. Baseball is a distant third. I know it's offseason for football and we're in the stretch run for NBA but that still seems pretty telling.

They're auctioning off a PSA 9 Wilt RC too, which was re-holded from an old slab. :wow:

Lot Detail - 1961/62 Fleer #8 Wilt Chamberlain Rookie Card – PSA MINT 9

That's the second most iconic/classic NBA card behind MJ's Fleer RC, imo.

Got these in today. I really don't like BGS slabs anymore. Cards don't pop in them because of the thick cases and inner sleeve. The cases get scuffed up easily too. I'm gonna try to cross them whenever PSA is doing that again. :francis:

I sent off most of my entire collection to PWCC at the end of last month. They scanned and uploaded all of them to my portfolio, but still waiting to be reviewed and curated. I have a lot more peace of mind knowing that I don't have all of that on me anymore. I'd probably have felt a good amount more comfortable if I was a homeowner instead of renter.

I only have 6 non-raw cards left in my possession. Here's one of them that I just received.

One and One was Panini's best last year. Happy to have both of the big Mavs hits from that set.
Finally getting my hands on this card checks off a goal of mine in the hobby, to get at least 1 quality Dirk and Kobe auto.

These will probably be 2 of the last two cards I part with, if I ever do.

they really dropped the ball with the “moments” they chose for that set, but I think they totally nailed the photo selection on the dirk

That's his 30,000th point. Not really an iconic game, just a career achievement that happened in a mundane 2nd quarter of two struggle squads going at it

And I agree, an 11 Finals moment should be there. Either the layup over Wade to save Game 2 or the baseline jumper over Bosh to seal Game 6.

But what do I know, breh. I'm just a fan :yeshrug:
