A new trend? Pop 1 None Grader Higher Low PSA Grades? lol

Post image 1

Not your usual proud moments, but I actually think we've all been there thinking this card is worth grading. But found this gem and it still makes me proud. Pop 1, none graded higher. This is hard to achieve! And yes I vaulted it out of spite! Still think insured value of $1 is way off lol.

whump whump whuuuump...

I ordered 20 and got 20 base :(

Did anyone get at least a foil or a numbered card? On a more serious note, this was fun to have the "hope" one would get the 1/1 auto. The wait, and the anticipation was fun even though I got 20 base versions lol.

Uno Elite with Special Foils and Parallels

Post image 1

I find this fascinating in that many other categories are getting in on the "collectibles" category by creating sets for collectors to collect. Uno Elite. Mama Breaks did a nice break down but I suspect more brands are going to create 'cards' to collect and curious to see if it 'sticks' as items folks will chase like the traditional categories. PSA grading does add some credibility to it but I suspect unless Uno Elite has a design and something like a relic/auto it won't be desirable from a value perspective. Just my 2c. But what I'm also interested in is seeing if this push into the space brings institutional "money" into the space creating new pools of money for start ups to solve friction points for collectors, which is where I would focus (i.e. shipping, grading, derivatives, and data).

Olympic Games Topps Now cards finally shipping! Let the madness begin!

They are finally shipping these out. The hype on the triple on card auto for Curry, Durant, and Lebron is an all time high. Who got these? This is a lotto ticket for sure but you never know! Good luck everyone!

Why we probably all love this industry

Amazing story of a collector hitting a 1/1 bat barrel of Hodges and gives it to his family -- felt it belonged with them...love it.
