@nut_history The situation was similar to Nolan Ryan, he threw really hard but whether he could harness everything was the big question. Langston was way more polished at the time. From a personal standpoint I thought Johnson and his funky delivery would never develop. Big Ooops
@cessybtw@CardPurchaser They were way better last year. I ripped one last night, not the worst but definitely not very good.
Best description would be Series 2 Celebration lite. Regular Celebration megas have way more inserts and color.
@CardPurchaser Looking like a partial success. I really think the price point is a bigger fe reason it is not selling quickly. Remember when Flagship NBA chrome came out it did not sell immediately and sat in stores until the blue x-fractor exchange was announced. No rescue is coming for these.
@JasonStewart I definitely agree with Bull Durham as #1, somehow it always gets overlooked. I loved Field of Dreams when it came out but sadly it has not held up well for me. I think that there might be a couple choices better than Moneyball, otherwise it is a solid list.
@NEOCards_Comics Price point is also a factor. The true rookie card has already been released in flagship.
I am really curious to see what happens when Target, Walmart etc. post product on their sites.
I have to imagine sealed will be king.
@CardPurchaser@JWCards27 If and when they go on sale on Targets website which only allow 2 at a time they will be impossible to get because of the bots. The bots(resellers) are worried about the non sealed resale value.
@EvanandTikiWFAN He just gave him a copy of his book with a heartfelt message written inside the front cover.
Evan is quite thoughtful and placed the value of the gesture at close to $1K.
@OffDaHook35 I collect mostly sports cards but have started to dabble in the Pokรฉmon world. It seems that having a sealed collection of ETBโs is kind of a big deal. The ETB promo cards make them more valuable, especially the Pokรฉmon center ones.
@SleeperMets Too soon to be making statements like this. The future is bright and there is reason to be excited.
There is bound to be some regression next year once Benge and Ewing get around the league. If they keep performing like this then it might very well be true.
@PapayonTrading Happy they are trying something.
My fear is that it is going to turn sportscard collectors back into what Pokemon collectors have turned into at retail stores.
@jimmyritt33@OffDaHook35@ngreenroom I just watched my first unboxing video of the product. They basically ruined it. Glad I didnโt go heavy into it like last year.
@GoodFundies The only thing I found uncomfortable was when he mentioned his adopted daughter and said because she is adopted that she is not part of his line. As true as it might be it feels cringey saying it out loud.
