2024 Bowman Draft Chrome Nick Kurtz Refractor 1st Bowman #BDC-56 - Athletics

Probably should’ve held onto one of these (sold two in the same order) as the value has now doubled. Sold for a great price at the time, but this was before he was even called up.

It’s not a rookie auto, but probably should’ve held onto this one for a bit. Criminally underrated player 🔥

As I was reading the well-written column on Mantel, "One Piece Card Silliness," my mind was asking has anyone read something similar about EBAY's responsibility in listing questionable scam or OVERHYPED cards listing as 1 of 1? Related thoughts, doesn't this type individualistic extra limited odds of a customer picking in a packet seem stupid? Isn't what leads to disgruntled experiences, buying super high risk packs? And Unhappiness in the HOBBY?

These are pretty fun, but I am a little weirded out by the hand written numbering in pen. I love Allen & Ginter and the mini cards are super cool, I just was a little shocked when I opened a pack and saw this.

Actually, at first I was pissed because I hadn't seen them before and I thought someone messed with my pack.
