Was lucky in the 2024 Inception breaks I did a few weeks ago, happened to hit two Gavin Williams RPA’s to /99 and to /75. First RPA’s I’ve managed to hit in anything, which is pretty awesome. Guardians were very nice to me in 24 Inception.

Took a shot at a Daniel’s Downtown, ended up with an Becket 9 Optic Holo of Ja’Maar Chase. I assume I could have done a lot worse for $30.

The bright side is I don’t have many slabs, so this will help me with seeing how they fit on my 3D printed display stands I make.

Went to my first true card show on Sunday, the goal was to target some of the 2024 Guardians Inception cards I had missed out on in breaks to fill out that set of my PC, or see if anybody at the show had NASCAR cards I needed for my PC. Kinda whiffed on both…only one seller had NASCAR cards, and didn’t really See any inception cards.

Ended up pivoting and grabbed the McKenzie HFA for $10 and the Jose “Heart of the City”/Kwan Topps Now “rookie” card for $5 total.

Starting out my baseball collection, it’s hard to put the blinders on and stay focused on one set when there are so many cards out there to get distracted by.

What’s your card show strategy for your PC?

The 2024 MLB Topps Inception hits continue, today with Kyle Manzardo making an appearance. Two autos, /299 and /125. Was hoping for the mem card with the piece of base in it, but it was elusive like the Jose Ramirez auto. To try to go for more colors of the rainbow or be happy with the two I got, we will see…

Stephen Kwan from /299 and /75 from 2024 Topps Inception breaks. Was really happy to snag some Kwan autos, may try to add a few more in the future.
