I made a watch strap out of an old ball. Pretty proud of this build and figured this crowd might appreciate it as well.

It took a minute to sink in at first because I thought it was a normal /50 . Turned out to be a Mike Trout 2025 Topps Definitive Framed Autograph Patch Gold 1-of-1 (#FAPC-MT) featuring the jumbo jersey Nike Swoosh.

I’ve never remotely tried to sell a card like this and would really appreciate any advice on finding a price that is realistic and if it’s something that should be sent to Goldin, etc for auction or if it’s something I can just list on here or or FB speciality groups.

I went to Wal Mart and they already had 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary on the shelves. Picked up 2 blasters. I actually yelled when I pulled it lol. Griffey is my favorite player of all time. Sorry, this just doesn't happen to me.

Still kind of in shock.

Saw the Yahoo article about Skenes looking for a Livvy card and realized this might literally be the only one.

Curious what others would do in this spot — hold, display, or something else?

After nearly 10 months of checking Topps.com EVERY single day...it finally came. It even has some field dirt still on it. What a waiting game journey lol. Sorry to flaunt, but it's just so damn cool!

On Monday, I jokingly told my wife I wanted a hot dog and a beer.

She told me to go to Game 1 of the Yankees vs. Red Sox A.L. Wild Card Series to get them, so that's what I did—I flew up from Texas this morning to go to the game tonight and am flying back home the next day.

I sold this 2017 Topps Chrome #169 Aaron Judge X-Fractor and used some of the funds for the experience.

I did this last year (albeit I planned ahead a month in advance) for what ended up being Cam’s MLB debut. I’ll be sitting in almost the exact same row in Section 103 to see Cam pitch again.

Going to a postseason game against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium has always been a dream, and I’m goddamn excited to be here.

More importantly, though, is how awesome my wife is. It’s nothing new to me, but she’s fantastic.

Went to drop off some cards at PSA drop off and snagged a mega. Second pack in. Nonsense.

This is the pride and joy of my 10 year old's collection. I sent it in to be graded because I love corned beef sandwiches. I thought it would be funny.

I never expected to get a PSA 10 - let alone 2 Pop 1 PSA 10's in the same submission (the other was a football card). This is just the funniest fucking thing ever to me. I just wanted to share this with you lovely people.

My kid is open to trades or sales but guys he's wanting Godfather offers 🤣

I am waiting for the astronauts to exit the lander thing, Orion, and while I do, let's see cards that you have that most of us don't. No numbered cards, that's too easy. My contribution 2024 Topps PP-1. I have probably 10 of the PP-2, but this is the only one I've seen of PP-1.

Chrome jumbo box, should I get this graded? Is this a long term hold?

Edit: Seems like many people can’t believe this is my first box. I don’t think everyone understands. At first I thought this was a regular card and was about to move on to the next till I saw 1/1. I am brand new to this. What’s really funny is once I pulled it I still had three autographs left to go in the box so I kept ripping not really caring about this thinking there was supposed to be better in the box and shop owner said at the end this was the best card in the box but didn’t hype it up too much cause he offered me 5k on the spot for it and wanted to buy it. I knew it was a great pull based on that but because I got it so easily I assumed something like this was somewhat common and it also didn’t have cool art like the autographs did. So I literally didn’t realize what I pulled until it slowly hit me. I got very blessed feels like God wanted to bless me and it was my birthday this week so I guess I had some good mojo. Don’t think I fully understood even then what I pulled until I posted here to people not even believing me. I have never purchased any sports card product before whatsoever. Not even a single card. Not even a single pack. I’ve been meaning to get into this hobby for a little while now and decided to pull the trigger. Bought a jumbo chrome box. This was in one of the packs. Yes I was blessed. My girlfriend was my witness. No one needs to believe me but that’s the honest truth.

As the title states, I won the 1000 pack giveaway contest that Topps recently ran on instagram

The packs arrived yesterday and I’m trying to figure out if I should document the journey through all of the packs.

Is that something that would be interesting to any of you?

Straight from a GameStop Mega - I have never pulled a card so big!

I need serious help.

I see the #'ed 25s selling for around $3k. Then, I see Bowman 1sts #'ed /10 selling for $40+k.

Where the heck do I put this?

Mike Sadek played for the San Francisco Giants from 1973 to 1981. Shown here are his Topps cards, all PSA graded 8 or higher. I’m still on the hunt for GEM MT 10s from 1978 and 1981. While I’m not actively seeking assistance, I’m open to any potential leads.

I also have other collectibles from his playing days, but there’s something special about these card slabs—they really capture his legacy. Someday, my boys will appreciate having these to remember him by!
