These boxes have been on fire lately. Thanks for sharing. I was buying cases of them at $220/240 back in 18 and ripping away. Looking mainly for Acuna. Hit a Devers blue
Auto in there. Plenty of
Others and even an /569 Acuna!
Everything I graded got 10s. 2018
Is by far my best year for grading. Being as I only really collected archives and HHN.
Hope you got 4 Ohtani!

Conundrum - Loving my unopened baseball card collection....but really like ripping too
I just got back from the local Jeweler down my road who is Amish. He's says the Diamonds are snazzy with an appropriate twinkle in lighting. He did call out that Nolan is in a Ranger uniform versus a Mets so that could be it??
Lower right corner and edge looks rough=. The left edge by diamond = same deal. It could be camera lighting but check both areas. No back pick so cant tell further. Also impossible to tell on surfaces unless in person no matter how good pictures are. Look for surface dimples.
On 1/1 final grades never mattered. Its a 1/1 . Sorta like owning a PMG . This is one of those cards we'd all love to own no matter what numerical numbers shows
That PSA 10/10 Flagg looks like an 8 with touched corners and the bottom left edge the way the light reflects off the silver "chrome"! Would think there is some slight rounding to make it look that way. Makes up the other 9's you got though!

Gorgeous, Chris!
Lovely view. Less boxes, more nature!
I need that , a rip session, and steaks on a grill
So which one do I get to open again? You keep saying mine is in the back of the van. There is nothing back here man!

Such a tease
A month or so ago I opened 3 - 2018 Topps Heritage Baseball Boxes
I really like the 2018 Heritage set. Some cool rookies and cards

Back from grading
A 2025 card with PSA 6.
What the heck happened, is there a crease or something.
I honestly don't know. It seems pretty harsh. It's gorgeous in hand.
The diamonds all look like the are off centered they probably looked at it like the UD Griffey rookie holograms. SMH
They probably graded the diamonds as near colorless.
3+ Ohtani in 3 boxes. You did well. Hope you get a couple 10s there.
John
I don't what's more harsh on cards the graders or the collecters.
Of course, if you send it back and pay them again, they will realize the 6 should be 9.

buying O-Pee-Chee (OPC) baseball cards
also collecting Canadian silver coins
I really enjoy the Collect Auctions but their website is SLOW and annoying. It's not a site I like revisiting which is a bummer.
That PSA 10/10 Flagg looks like an 8 with touched corners and the bottom left edge the way the light reflects off the silver "chrome"! Would think there is some slight rounding to make it look that way. Makes up the other 9's you got though!
The white sig on the green refractor and the helix really pops.
what great looking card! i am a huge brett fan.
Friend from kid days visiting tonight and will tackle these....
Fun rips!
