Got a breakers delight and jumbo… that Michigan helmet in the auto spot was such a tease lol

Fun rip. Got a few flags and shiny cards and a cool wemby poster. Ripped 1 jumbo and 3 hobby boxes.

That’s jam acetate inserts are a good substitute. The Kobe and Iverson are $$, but rest are a bit more affordable!

1997 fleer metal universe marvel cards. Think they were 1:5 to 1:10 packs. 20 card insert collab set. The Barry sanders wolverine duo makes sense. There is also a Jerry rice Spider-Man duo which is sweet as well. Raw of the Barry/wolverine is an affordable $30-40. Psa 9 is like $200. Psa 10… a lot

Can you imagine if Pokemon, marvel and the NFL agreed to license into 1 card? Imagine a Saquon, Hulk and venusaur trio card… or ohtani, charizard, Ironman… the possibilities and demand.

Happy Friday!

Inferno X.. fun rip. Chasing the Oricchorio, but got the Rotom. It is what it is.

Been collecting for a long time both Sports and Pokemon. The Pokemon market behaves much differently from sports from what I’ve seen. I’m putting lots of money down that the crash will be more of a slow decrescendo… but it will be alarming and cards will plummet in value with no end. I think the Bubble Mew will be a good indicator. Paldean fates was printed quite a bit. Many Bubble mews were printed upon initial release and the card saw a healthy increase in value - mostly from scalpers and investors. The card later dropped well below $300 raw and now is hitting $600. This second surge in price is fueled by collectors finally getting access to another wave and scalpers taking advantage. Scarlett and violet should be finished… but the pokemon company (TPC) released a Paldean fates premium collection recently. I’ve never seen a 3rd price surge increase on a card... and it won’t happen. TPC is clearly printing to oblivion and one thing I’ve noticed with Pokemon collectors? They are naive and feel invincible of overprinting and pop counts. Don’t get me wrong, I love the scarlet and violet era, but these sets will be junk wax of sports. If you’re investing in modern Pokemon… I’d advise to get out. If you are collecting to collect like me.. buy what you like and expect your cards to depreciate like a used car.
