Panini sounds like a sinking ship.

My son in law is a huge fan. He is even sending in some cards from the TCG to get graded. I like some anime. Usually storer runs or seasonal stuff. Like Netflix’s castlevania, Ragnarock, and of course Demon Slayer.

Air brushed out logos are less desireable than college logos. With no true RPAs and the exclusive deals Fanitics is locking up, Panini US is dead.

If you have one, sell now. His market WILL come down. You can rebuy it again in 3-4 months for 1/2 the price. In the Euro league, closest to NBA level competition, he as average, serviceable even. He put up monster numbers in the French league. Equivalent to the “D” league here in the US. He...

Awesome win UofM! Getting excited for the Lions!

Jeff Menges DID NOT create the art for The one Ring card. I have several magic cards signed by artist Jeff Menges and and couple of custom commissioned card alters! His Aspect of Wolf card remains one of my favorite all time Magic arts. I am not a real fan of Malone’s music, but think that it...

Still waiting to see how the lawsuit plays out.

I really did enjoy every character and every angle/feud except for the “New face of Fear” story against the Undertaker. Wyatt was cool and charismatic. It was spooky and awesomely cool to see and be a part of his ‘firefly’ entrance. Sorry, not sorry. He could not supplant the taker in the fear...

IMO, too much hype (pump and dump?). Also curious how the intellectual property copyright lawsuit against the company (from Upper Deck I think) will play out.

Panini (US) at least may not exist much longer. The Italian parent company is still solid with their international stickers, but wow, the US side is going down.

I posted about this in the Magic forum when it first happened! I am amused that main stream names are bringing such a cross-over focus to the hobby. Logan Paul collects Pokémon and Malone with Magic.

Monopolies themselves are not against the law. Business practices that hurt or undercut market competition are. The bad things here are player exclusivity contracts. I called those a slippery slope back when (I think) Upper Deck started doing them back in the 1990s.

I PC Rickey Henderson cards from his playing years, Sean Casey, wolf cards, and Jackie Robinson cards that catch my eye. As far what ones to grade? Rarer are at least difficult to replace Henderson cards, low serial numbered and/or “other” cards of Casey. (Like the one above). I also grade every...

Would have been cool to get a pic of the PSA 9 referenced in the article. One day hope to own an any grade Robinson from his playing years. Til then I will keep subbing modern issues that catch me eye.

We adopted him from China. I try to pick up cards like this when I can!

I was honestly expecting some lower grades on the Gold parallel Henderson card due to some surface damage. Super happy with the slabbed look though!

And now the NFLPA and ended their rights agreement with Panini and Panini is demanding arbitration for their contract. I realized years ago when the hobby switched to a side hustle business for the majority of people instead of people just collecting. With high end cards I guess you get high...

Crazy how popular this sport has gotten. Still waiting the a match used relic though!

Sigh. Maybe I was just blissfully unaware of it when I started, but I miss when the hobby did not have this much drama.

Gotta Catch 'em all?
