FIFA '26 got me collecting again and I bought around 40 cards in a week. This particular card is one of the rarest Mbappe's I found, currently a POP of 37, with 0 / 10s, 3 / 9s, 9 / 8s, 12 / 7s. I also picked up a raw card I gotta send into PSA.
This card is a must have for every Ohtani collector / fan. The '1st Version' sits at the bottom of the card underneath the capitalized OHTANI. I never picked up any of the facsimile versions... if we could only go back in time and spend $100k on some Ohtanis...
I took three years off from collecting after losing my ass on Acu帽a, Franco, Dominguez, and Tatis. But this summer I was in London and checked out the Fanatics Flagship store and got the itch to start collecting again. Had to do some research on Mbappe and these Foot rookies seem undervalued. I took a more conservative approach this time around and stayed away from the PSA 10.
The 1st Edition is a card I started collecting in 2023. I'm pretty much always late to everything but I figured the 1st edition would be the best investment long term. I consider the 2013 DR07 and #183 as Ohtani's true rookie cards, and of course the DR07 is much rarer. It's truly a beautiful card, gonna be buried with this one.
This is my 2nd LeBron ever. The first was the Cactus Jack superfractor, and I wanted to add a patch / auto to my collection. I wasn't able to get a hobby box on release day so I've been hunting for singles, and when I came across this one at night I knew I had to stay up and make the deal happen with the seller.
At first I couldn't figure out which letter this was from the jersey (even the seller didn't know lol), then in the morning I realized I had a Lakers jersey and confirmed it's the "E". This is also my first Definitive product, and even though we always feel we overpaid, seeing it in person makes you appreciate the product more. I'm more of a modern collector and I favor modern design in just about everything.
The design grows on you and the patch is beautiful. Sending this off to PSA, it's going to be my first graded card. WOO-WOO!
This is my first superfractor. I won it on eBay at auction and it's one of the most beautiful cards in my collection. The Cactus Jack branding makes this card a cultural specimen as well, being the first NBA collab for Cactus Jack.
