The Official Sports Card Discussion Thread

The Shield/Logoman cards are always heavily desired. There aren't many of those.

Regular Contenders > Optic Contenders

Contenders has history in football going back to Peyton Manning. Optic is a newer release from the past few years and will never get the same love though something like a Gold Prizm one would command a lot.

Thanks.


I know I ask 1,000 questions, but let me know if I'm getting this correct with the cards listed below.


This one is a regular contenders rookie auto for Lamar.

This one is an optics contender, which is typically not as valuable or sought after.

This one is a regular contenders ticket as well.

Is there a shorter print run between the first and third card? I'm just trying to see how I determine which "ticket" is more sought after.

I don't follow football super closely so it's hard for me to follow the differences in current Contenders stuff. There's so many variations right now and it's confusing. I think a general rule of thumb is the big three for Contenders rookie autos is:

Contenders
Contenders Championship Ticket (usually /100 or less)
Contenders Cracked Ice (usually /25)

But there's photo variations and a bunch of random parallels now too. They'll all hold value but they've watered it down with all the extra versions. If I was buying, I'd stick to those main three to avoid confusion until I understood the market better.

Which is why im becoming disinterested with it....im tired of the PSA rackets in this shyt...they have zero integrity.

This shyt makes me wanna stop but I won't because this is what I do to get by now. I've felt like this a few times. It's aggravating as hell and this situation really pisses me off.

Finally got an auto, @THASTUNNA

Few other cards I picked up:

The Court Kings is a Level IV, which is the rarest one. These are always condition sensitive. It might take a while for them to get the love they deserve (at least imo). I don't think Luka has one above a PSA 7 but there's some gems with BGS. I'd like to get one of his as well as a Flawless.

Flawless doesn't seem to matter nearly as much anymore but I'm taking a gamble that people will go back to them sometime in the future, particularly after Panini loses the license. Exquisite base cards weren't worth much for the longest either.

I love the Status Pursuit cards.

I love the status sets and parallels i wish they were more valued in the hobby...nice looking cards.Everyone loves Prizm Select,optic ive always preferred status,revolution,chronicles,mosaic...too bad the ugllier sets are more revered...

Fanatics is about to RAPE people when they take control. They're gonna be pushing digital in a heavy way. Sounds like it's gonna be ePacks on steroids with incentives not to take the actual physical card.
