This one as well. Are these variations good?

those aren't pack pulled autos, they are base patches that someone got Herbert to sign.
The pack pulled swatch autos are stickers instead of on card autos

Too many of those as well. Over 20 different refractors. It's overkill.

People care about 3-5 of them and the rest are filler. There's over 1,500 of the regular refractors graded of Yordan.

It's the same thing with Prizm and their 30+ parallels in basketball/football.
after a while I realized all those cards in the top 10 going up are so plentiful that their markets can be manipulated.
The cards that are truly valuable don't have the volume to be properly tracked in any of these apps

The one that sucks about Panini is the sticker autos,thankfully i got put onto that early on.....oh and that fact each set has about 5000 autos...

I have actually bought on card autos where the card wasnt graded over a sitcker auto.....

There’s Card collectors on here? :gladbron:I don’t own nothing super crazy just a bunch of color chrome Rookie stuff and parallels. And A few numbered cards as well along with very few autographs. I only collect basketball though.

I've been hearing a bunch of these influencers are getting special favors with loaded boxes. Look at how many followers they have and that last card show in Jersey had them on front stage with all of those platforms for selling stuff. People are finally catching onto these gimmicks.

Damn thats stupid I wonder how this will effect the card market going into Fanatics taking over? Feel like Panini is trying to get as much money as possible, last Prizm hobby box got marked up to 1600!!! That mess is ridiculous for those ugly ass cards. All I do is singles now but may look at the Hobby for 2022 score if its not more than 150.

Sure they can be manipulated but certain players will be able to command value regardless....There was thousands of graded Zion/Luka non numbered stuff that was highly coveted despite the mass over production and grading....Difference with Alvarez is he doesnt have that respect in the hobby and never will but my point was from a collectors interest not an investor....

Yep im purely into singles....these boxes are out of control and its not the prizm prices that are annoying its the lower end stuff being inflated...and im legit grabbing cards of Barnes,Mobley,Cade etc so i would cop the lower end stuff but its not worth it until grading prices come down....until then these boxes are just gonna sit unopened....
