The safety he had in the 5th was just touted on GMF as a possible late 1st. So 5th seems like a big stretch.

Those are nice cards. A BGS 9.5 could be a PSA 10. Do they list sub grades? I have an ungraded Allen rookie NT dual patch /25 and the patches are nice. One is part of the Buffalo. No auto though. Grading is expensive and a pain in the butt. If I ever decide it is time to sell I’ll get certain cards graded. I have a few PSA 10 Allen rookies, serial numbered but no patch or auto. They are nice but not the upscale brands. Personally I am not a huge fan of Prizm but that is what people buy of the “regular” cards. I typically like the look of Select, Elite, Mosaic and even Donruss Optic more. I think football might be the way to go for the future. No way can hoop keep the upward trajectory it had. Baseball will always be around, especially the older guys and the market is mature. One thing I think is that pitchers, even old time HOF guys carry far less value than hitters based on their historical status. Nolan Ryan seems to be the exception but guys like Bob Gibson are pretty cheap when compared to their peer hitters. I’m not sure I see new baseball guys maintaining the sport’s edge in cards over new football guys. The serial number thing and wide variety of brands/ high end variety evened those things out. Non-QBs in football seem undervalued to me. A real prospect like Jeff Okudah should not cost about the same as a certain QB flameout like Eason or Ehlinger IMO.

It’s not. It’s wild and crazy but not illogical. Football cards generally rank third behind baseball and basketball. Baseball cards have a much longer history. The card you mention was serial numbered 1/1 where Allen’s is 1/10. The Dominguez purchase is crazy if you ask me; kid can’t even spell his own first name properly….but lesser cards of Mike Trout like 1/25; 1/50, etc. go for millions. If Dominguez becomes Trout that card will prove to be a good investment. The Yankees are still the king and rank way above the Angels and that comes into play as well. The odds of Dominguez becoming Trout are not realistic at all but if he does……

Just looked at this a little more: If you go to PSA’s site and look up the serial number of the card….43579193 it gives you some more detail and a better picture of the card. The things I saw as edge imperfections seem to have been merely reflections. The card is numbered 3/10 and is the only one of those 10 so far to be graded gem mint 10. There are likely others out there that are still ungraded and probably some graded lower or graded by other companies. The most interesting thing to me is that this exact card was purchased on EBay in April 2020 for just under $7000. 7k to 312k in just under 2 years is ok. Note that the seller did not likely get the full amount. The 312k usually is inclusive of a 20% buyers premium when Goldin is the auction house. Still.

Clearly there is a market for it no matter what either of us think.

Not sure I agree about the Allen card being OC. The NT cards don’t always look naturally centered even when they are. I will say that although pictures can be deceiving to me there seems to be an edge flaw on the left near the bottom.

I’ve seen this with cards from many players. I believe what we’re looking at is from a jersey with “Rookie” as the nameplate. These may be used in a minicamp that isn’t open to the public early on. You see these “oo”’s and R’s and k’s on a lot of these cards of guys whose names don’t match.

Everybody better yuck it up now because there isn’t much more time to complain about Dahlin.

Wait. Our goalies could be Levi, Strauss Mann? Get this done.

OMG with the Andrew Luck crap again.

They’re also on the road against two of the best teams in the Ieague..

I think it was Watson that wanted to discharge his service provision a little too often and that led to all of this.

I get that it is his parents’ fault buy Skyy? No thanks.

You’ve never seen that? Or someone doing that maneuver to let the person in front of them know to speed up? I’m not saying I’m a fan but I’ve seen it done. Nothing really. Just noting that there is a correlation between look at me outfits and me me me attitudes.

I agree although my guess is that the guy just didn’t look and was thinking about passing the car in front of him. It was stupid but possibly unintentional. Either way, charges are appropriate. The spandex mafia in that city had evidently gone to the lengths necessary to create their own special path on a busy thoroughfare….at great expense to taxpayers no doubt. Despite this, they were still subject to the laws of physics. A stupid and/or malicious driver behind the wheel of an SUV has a physical advantage in a collision. The cuties in their outfits won’t be truly happy until physics itself disappears. There may be hope though. According to PFF the Bills and Josh Allen have already foiled math itself.

Isn’t one guy throwing around silly British colloquialisms enough for this board? You have to start in now too?

Once I realized that there isn’t a rule that you have to build on the prior word…..in other words use all available information from above….it became too easy. The second day I did it I lost because I thought that was a rule. I was “lucky” and had four greens after two guesses. I then whiffed on four straight consonants that created words. Nerdle is similarly easy but more fun to me for some reason.

Whiny crybabies in cute outfits shouldn’t get different rules.

Spandex mafia gets their way again. Aren’t they special?

With the possible exception of Moss, I don’t think any of them have a high enough profile to generate the bash volume required to even approach Edmunds level. Maybe Shaq I guess. Edit: Plus with Edmunds we get the added feature of people misspelling his simple last name. How can this be done with Moss or Lawson. Sure Haack is easy to misspell but he is a punter.

Thought experiment: Start a thread about Seattle’s OL and the impact the USFL could have on it. Before the end of page one there will be something explaining why an Edmunds trade comes into play. Any topic will work. If you prefer to start on off the wall try a thread on favorite pasta dishes……Edmunds bash. On PPP a thread on world hunger can transform into an Edmunds bash three posts. The real question is once Edmunds is traded, cut, leaves in FA or retires a Bill in 2034, who will be the next bashomatic? It’s too early to tell in 2034 but if he left soon, and with Beasley gone, prime candidates are Dawkins, Milano, maybe Oliver.

Punter Jake Camarda RB Max Borghi

Does that mean they have lost him?

You cited the 5 of 2557 thing, not me. Is it meaningful? Who are the other 4?

I love how they say he is 5 of 2557 on RAS but don’t bother mentioning the top 4, which would have been easy. Are any of them any good?
