@BattlingBud @CardPurchaser Heritage if ur doing megas only, 2026 better class and product seems to be decent value imo

Been out of game for a bit.. what would you choose? 26 heritage mega or 25 stadium club mega? @CardPurchaser

Opened two 2026 heritage megas (hits below) Two numbers and image variation burns Honestly I love the product, design is great, good class, and who doesn’t like a real one auto. I think megas are the way to go instead of hobby with the low auto hits. @CardPurchaser #TheHobby

@LogansLeague Agreed, just do the research. Find a guy who most likely will get called up soon, playing well, and isn’t the biggest name everyone is buying (aka Griffin). And either they move up top 100 or debut and u dump on the debut and make some profit hopefully (I like Kaelen Culpepper)

Instead of buying a $30 blaster, buy a bowman auto of prospect who hasn’t debuted and see what happens.

@b0wman_chris @CardPurchaser I think he will be fine. His road and home splits show he homers 50/50 splits basically away from that park. 23hr away 22 at home. His avg is what is affected playing away

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser Remember hes not in the mickey mouse steinbrener field for home games this year. Back to an actual big league park.

I think Caminero will be the biggest riser this season in the hobby. He is an absolute stud and showing off this WBC so far @CardPurchaser #thehobby

@SeaSickMutant @CardPurchaser @Topps What was damaged. Nothing sticks out at first glance

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser This currently @Topps for damage - going on 6 months … dunno what’s gonna happen 🤦‍♂️

Might need to look at some Jesús Made cards now. Got into a start up dynasty league this year and picked 12 in prospect draft. Took Made, kind of a steal no? @CardPurchaser

@CardTossChamp @CardPurchaser Yeah agreed, haven’t sold any over $100 yet, this was sold for $30

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser I feel anything over $100 goes in a flat rate box.

Only golden mirror I’ve pulled being sold today. Also any tips on shipping or does this look good, in terms of protecting the card @CardPurchaser #TheHobby

@BryanFrantz @CardPurchaser Yeah team bags will def be purchased once I start selling more cards. Thanks!

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser I a had card move up against painters tape and damage the edges. Thats when I went from tape to team bag and rubber bands. I understand the college budget, LOL!! Good luck and congrats on your sale.

@Temporary_Times @CardPurchaser If u find it lmk, I can help you comp it out. Any golden mirror has some value I imagine

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser No pic, it wasn’t a rookie or player card, so I didn’t pay it any thought. Now it’s in one of my random boxes somewhere…

@Temporary_Times @CardPurchaser What card is it? Got a pic? I sold mine for 30$ little after it sat for a while. Kind of depends, I sold mine around comps and no others are listed

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser I got a golden mirro last year on one of the generic cards like this, I didn’t think it would be worth anything and just put it into my box. How much were you able to sale yours for?

@BryanFrantz @CardPurchaser Feel like painters tape does the same job as what u suggested. Your way def looks nicer. As a college student with limited funds gonna just stick with the tape I already bought haha. Thx for the advice tho!

@ZaxCardZone @CardPurchaser Put the card in a team bag and secure it tight to keep the card from coming out of the top loader. Don’t use tape to keep the card from moving. Use 2 rubber bands on the outside of the cardboard. 1 rubber band north south. 1 rubber band east west.

@ALTPEPEEEEEEE My dad found one of these in his old collection recently, thinking of grading it

1958 Topps Mickey Mantle Card is in good condition. Noticeable stain on the front and back. Corners are rounded. Card is off centered. But it’s a Mantle :) I did the flashlight test and felt the card. Appears to be of normal legitimate feel for a Topps card in that era. $150 shipped Zelle/Venmo Thank you 🙏

@WaxMetrix Amazing spreadsheet, ur opinion of best retail? I’m thinking hanger for $ per parallel and I don’t like the fanatics or super box parallels even tho they are better technically for $ per. Mainly a parallel chaser.

2026 Topps Series 1 If you want to track which formats offer the best value as prices move, I’ve uploaded a Format Value Spreadsheet to my Series 1 product breakdown on Substack. It’s available to paid subscribers ($7/month), but everyone gets one paid post free to check it out first and see if it’s for you. The write-ups are free for the first week they are live. The spreadsheet itself is behind the paywall. To compare formats as the market shifts, just update the “Price Per” yellow cell at the top and the columns will automatically adjust by value: Green = strongest value Red = weakest I’m happy to share the framework. I just can’t give away all the sauce. Plus I feel like this adds good value for those that subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/slabsquatc… This is just a screenshot, but it gives you a glimpse of the madness. Fair warning: it takes a special kind of nerd to enjoy this stuff… but if you’re still reading, you might be one of us. #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics #2026ToppsSeries1

@CardPurchaser Got one hobby, purple rookie McLean, blue rookie Brady house, bad auto. I’m done for now, maybe few hangers here n there

What does everyone think of their Series 1 rips so far?
