I’ve been following on social media since I left and it seems if you wanted to get in when the doors opened it was a big wait and line. Idk. Once inside I had a good time though.

@@KhangCollects I got there around 915 Friday and Saturday and was in the show before 10am both days. Not ideal, but I didn’t mind hanging out in line and talking about cards with people. It was my first National, and I’m definitely planning on going back next year. I think they did a pretty good job in Cleveland, but I have no frame of reference. Looking forward to Chicago next year.

2:30 - not quite to the days where we became obsessed with wrapping things in plastic, putting them in a plastic bag or plastic container, wrapping the container in plastic, placing it in a plastic crate, into a cardboard box, stacking it on a pallet, then wrapping the pallet in plastic...

Yeah, I think they thought it helped make the card look "3-D" by having the photo of the player overlap that oversized border, but idk.

Aren't these all retail boxes and not Hobby boxes? Hobby boxes typically have 24 packs. I think the current $1000 cost are for Hobby boxes cause the insert odds are much easier vs retail. Still I think retail versions go for a few hundered bucks now which is mindboggling since I opened these back in the days.

Nice rip Khang! Happy Father’s Day! That Waller was cool to pull from a blaster for sure. Nice Lions out of Optic as well. I’ve been crazy lucky out of Optic this year. Pulled a sweet rookie Kings AR, and a couple Downtowns including Stafford in a Lions Uni! I almost did the Gator scream when I pulled it!

@jvac11293 ай бұрын
@KhangCollects I can't say for sure. I'm guessing they would have paid the million if it was pulled sooner rather than later. There are lots of Bedard cards out there in different products. Like the game used jersey pieces, you get in certain cards and any higher end products with other 1/1 cards. I'm just guessing. But someone will pay a ridiculous price, I'm sure.
