I don't like when some of these sellers send the card in one of those thin Fedex packages (sort of like a large envelope), and then Fedex leaves it right outside of my garage. A little bit of wind and that shyt is gone.:stopitslime:.

I'm not going to buy this one right now as I'm sticking to my plan of saving for a big card, but I have a few questions about this card and similar cards.

1. It's not a graded card, so I would look to send it in with my Mahomes card to get graded in July. Are some of these Flawless cards easier to get PSA 10's with than other cards? I'm asking because these cards like the one posted below tend to be a little thicker? Does that typically mean the card is easier to grade, and do they tend to come in better condition?

2. What value would you put on this card? I see it went for auction in 2020.

3. Would this be worth getting graded if I end up buying it down the road?



I know there was another questions I had, but I can't think of it now.

What are your guys opinions on Select v.s. Contenders for the NFL?

I'm not buying any big card for at least another month, but I might do a case break for one of those tonight. Wasn't sure which you think is better?

1.) This cards are usually really tough grades. There's usually edge wear or corner damage. Flawless is the exception to this since they don't have colored borders and the cards are sealed in cases. From what I've seen, Flawless generally grades pretty well.

2.) $1,000-1,500

3.) Yeah, grading's always a good idea if the card is clean.

Contenders >>>>>>>> Select for the NFL. Contenders is king along with National Treasures for rookies.

Thanks for the information.

I figured Contenders were definitely better, but wanted to check for sure.

And, like I knew would happen if I did a break tonight, I got jack shyt. Thankfully since I started buying cards on Ebay I've only done one or two breaks, and my last one was in April or May besides tonight. Total waste of money.

Not going to end up bidding on that Mahomes stained glass card.

Going to continue to stick to my plan and wait 4-8 weeks to see if I want to buy a big boy card. That's unless something that is clearly too good to pass up shows up.

Might as well go to a casino. When prices weren't insane for wax, breaking wasn't that bad and worth the risk.

Latest pickups. I've been selling a lot of my more common Kobes to fund some truly rare cards. I missed out on the Luka and Curry Color Blasts that PWCC had up. Can't believe how high they went, @Codeine Bryant :why: :mjcry:

Damn, these are monsters :whoo:

Yeah, Color Blasts really took off. Can't believe how highly coveted they are. Non-rookies going for multiple what a rookie Kaboom or Downtown would fetch.

That Gold Zion is a really incredible card. His best RC photo. Congrats breh

Didn't end up bidding on that Mahomes stained glass PSA 10, but it went for about $3,200.

The Deshaun Watson BGS 9 went for about $4,500.
