Ought to we discuss in regards to the Tremendous Bowl? We will’t ignore it, proper? However there’s not a lot to say right here – soccer playing cards are form of boring and straightforward: it’s all in regards to the quarterbacks. After which exterior of that, you simply need to hit parallels and superfractors andzzzzzzzzzz

Proper, so right here’s what I assume will occur: if the Patriots win, Drake Maye playing cards will go sky-high and keep there. The Brady affiliation and Pats factor will simply stage him up a bit of. I really feel like we missed the boat on Maye playing cards – UNLESS you need to simply add to the , during which case may I counsel Maye’s Halloween rookie, which is like $3 with transport.
If Darnold wins, I believe he has to have a giant recreation to actually max out his playing cards. They’re nonetheless not the place they need to be for somebody who’s enjoying as much as his draft decide standing. However successful a Tremendous Bowl and being MVP? That ought to push it up; I believe he wants like 330 yards and a pair of TDs to actually double in worth and get away of the Trent Dilfer “recreation supervisor” archetype.
Darnold’s FunC card? I’m a sucker for playing cards and this one, with a bit of his hat (or “a hat that was offered to him”) from the draft, is fairly cool – and I’m not a patch man. Have we ever talked about a patch in ?
As a substitute of messing with the Tremendous Bowl guys, although,, I’m as a substitute going to deal with the lowered costs of underrated backup QBs who can begin subsequent 12 months — Malik Willis, Mac Jones, and (actually). That’s the place the upside is.

Earlier than we transfer alongside, I’d wish to bid a fond adieu to Parkside’s NWSL license. They’re clearing out outdated inventory and I’ve a crapload of their playing cards already – largely Trinity Rodman! was a enjoyable model with nice design and actually good playing cards. It’s a bummer they’re shedding the license and I’d counsel grabbing some discounted inventory whereas the sale is on!

Talking of smaller card manufacturers… I’m a sucker for Rittenhouse. And on occasion I’ll keep awake for an additional hour and scroll by way of Sport of Thrones and Twilight Zone playing cards simply to see what’s on the market. I stumbled upon and I suppose it’s simply how HUGS is written in all block and so robotic that retains pulling me again to it. I want this was about $15 as a result of it will be gone… however $35 looks like an enormous brick wall to me in the meanwhile. Till my Mac Jones gambit pays off in September!

You realize what doesn’t get sufficient respect? And possibly I’ll save this for an even bigger place in a future publication? eTopps!
It was mainly an NFT however you had an precise card they’d ship to you. I believe when it went underneath I had a handful, however I seek for them on occasion and the costs are means too low for what is basically a really restricted set that point has forgotten.
Do you know, as an illustration, that LeBron has a 2003-04 eTopps rookie? .
There’s a Joe DiMaggio foil-stamped “Cleveland” and a guitar eTopps card from the 2007 Nationwide that’s JUST the kind of card that must be value like $800. . And the “1 of 10” right here may be very deceptive – I really don’t know what it means, as there’s a 1 of 5 and a 1 of 25 and doubtless extra… nevertheless it appears and sounds cool, proper?

I personal just a few and I’ll probably get extra… sooner or later somebody will determine it’s value 10x this worth and I’ll have the market cornered!
Extra eTopps content material coming. We haven’t even gotten into the Allen & Ginter choices…
I’ll report again on this, however I used to be in GameStop this previous week and I went to drop off a pair playing cards to ship to PSA… simply to really feel alive. Nonetheless, there was a man in line forward of me haggling over a trade-in, after which a line of like six individuals got here behind me, and so when the 10-minute transaction was over in entrance of me I used to be decided to not undergo an entire PSA dropoff music and dance and wreck everybody’s day. JR FICKLE IS NOT A DAY RUINER! So I’ll return and do it once more one weekday and let everybody right here know the way it went. As of now, the desk man did appear keen and educated!
Okay, sufficient from me! Go benefit from the Tremendous Bowl and all of the enjoyable and pleasure that comes together with it!
