it's as good as the photos you can give it and it's very hard to capture surface issues with a phone camera. Most people submit a front and back only, which is fine and can get pretty far, but I would guess a perfect example of a surface issue his images would never pick up

One team's Top 30 prospects each day, with raw 1st Bowman auto prices. Starting with the Orioles.

Eyanson leads at $50, Aloy $47, Irish $42. No. 1 prospect Eric Booth Jr. has no 1st Bowman auto yet.

My pick: Witherspoon under $10. Yours?

[HobbyMonitor @hobbymonitor]

@smoothcorners We are all in agreement to never buy something posted like this, right?!

🚨 Traded for Adley Rutschman at the deadline.

Kyson Witherspoon, 22yo RHP. 2025 1st-rounder, No. 15 overall. 98 K in 89.2 IP at High-A with a fastball up to 97-98. Now the No. 12 Orioles prospect.

1st 2025 Bowman Draft auto ~$10 raw. Are we counting him out already?

[HobbyMonitor @hobbymonitor]

@OffDaHook35 I agree! Just hard to imagine it will happen unless the leagues push for it themselves. Could happen I suppose.

Seeing a lot of "I hope the hobby crashes" takes lately. For many, cards help make ends meet or are a bright spot after a long day. Let's keep the human element in mind.

Wax pricing and availability aren't sustainable and need to change. But I'm not anti-breaking or anti-live selling.

I'll keep focusing on positive content, cool cards and community.

What would you change? Let's hear solutions.

Unless you’re pushing low-end inventory all day, don’t overcomplicate it. Use the device you already have.

Now that the new scanner is live, here’s my setup for using it.

It’s simple: a $25 light box off Amazon, my phone and a card stand.

I get cards identified and imported first. Late at night, when I have more time, I go back to adjust details, add notes or list on eBay.

@PC_Radar I wish they were more forthcoming about how much is actually being allocated direct to buyers

I honestly think they should do drops (fanatics app style) for 100% of releases. But if they’re silently reducing allocation anyways it’s a bit of a moot point.
