eBay shows a 2022 Topps Series 1 clear variation, #/10, Wander Franco RC, went for $35k. Jesus.

You could get one of the above out of a hobby box? How much is a hobby box?

Roughly $120-$150. The hobby jumbo doesn’t contain the clear variation.

I got mine for $110. Looks like I could sell the base Wander for ~$10, the Trout relic for ~$20, and the chrome Wander for $80-$100.

No way these prices stay this high so I’m think “sell, sell, sell”.

Consider grading?

Most likely in the update series but Adley might have a shot at series 2. Lowther and Alex Wells the Orioles rookies in Series 1.

Isn’t that expensive? Think it’s worth it?

Look at eBay sold and compare prices. Also you sorta gotta give the card the once over and see if it will possibly score a 10. Def look at centering.

But I have a couple local card shops where I’m sure I could’ve got them, probably just a little more expensive.

Randomly came across a youtube video last night and the guy was saying buying the retail packs are the best bang for your buck.

Yeah probably. $10-20 for 60-75 cards.

He took the pack odds for all the different inserts into account. Apparently, there is like 2 or 3 things you cant get from retail though. Clears and Blacks maybe.

Yeah that sounds right. I hit a black (numbered to 71) John Means in a box break.

Best bang for your buck is buying cards already graded of players whose value you think will rise.

Need some help. Would you guys send out a 1994 Cal Ripken Jr Topps Stadium Club first day edition card to be graded?

What little I found says there were 2000 of each of the first day cards printed. Feels like too many out there to have enough value even if were to grade out as a 9 or 10 no?
