My wife and I took a break from the hobby for several months and decided to reward ourselves with a pair of A&G hobby boxes to rip together…

I don’t think I’m allowed to buy another box from Topps ever again, right?

I like picking up a blaster of new stuff when it comes out. Smart? Probably not. But I enjoy it. First box of the 2026 Allen and Ginter I buy, The Big Hurt makes an appearance. All in all, wasn't a bad birthday. It may or may not be small step towards a 56 Jackie. Time will tell.

We will pick up about one box a week and split it. He usually gets all the luck, but I must have been saving mine up 😮 how do I even go about finding the value of this?

Matt Olson & Andruw Jones Auto Relic /10

Ok so a couple weeks ago I had made a post regarding a product defect sub I had made with my 2026 bowman 1/1 platinum foil Wyatt Langford and the J-Rod patch auto /10 that I got as a replacement. While it seemed like most people would have been satisfied, I did some looking at comparable comps and felt we had missed out on a decent bit of value (From the start I was just looking to have the card replaced 1 to 1) so I reached out to Topps online. After attempting a few times I was able to get through to a real person that had me send comps that I was able to find and told me that they would be reaching back out to let me know in a few days. Well I did get that email and was pretty amazed to see that they would be additionally sending a Mike Trout silver pack auto /50 and a Cam Schlittler silver pack RC auto /299. Can now say that I am beyond happy, rare topps W

2026 Topps Update Matt Szczur art card of Konnor Griffin, had to figure out what it was and how rare it is after I pulled it. Glad it’s of a rookie too. NFS/NFT

Go Guards!!

Hey everyone! Back in April of this year I had opened a hobby box of Topps Series 1 and got this nice Shohei Ohtani /75 Foil and it had some bends and damaged edges. I sent in for replacement and just now got something back in.

Jacob Misiorowski /10 Clear SSP

This is what I got back. I have to say that I am pretty pleased with the outcome. Especially in light of their current performance in the playoffs. What do you all think?

Out of a value box!

Pulled this nice Clear /10 Bazzana from one of my 2 hobby boxes today

Back to back days ripping a dual patch auto. Insanity.

Good as new. Thanks for the input fellas.

Stopped at target after work and picked up 2 blasters. I can’t say I’m disappointed with the pull!

I purchased 1k of product and the cc payment went through, no issues. They then cancelled it and said I must pay via bank wire. Something something “risk” but they weren’t able to articulate what “risk” needed to be mitigated. Fed wires are inherently risky to the person sending the money, little to no recourse. Not to mention, I can spend 1k on any e-commerce site and pay with cc without issue. Not that it matters but 1 less customer for them.

Sorry for rant, here are some hits from Update. Have a great weekend!

My PSA return shipment containing 26 graded cards was stolen from my apartment mail room on October 10, 2026. Building management confirmed surveillance footage of the theft.
If you see any of these cards offered for sale or brought into a shop please reach out to me. Contacting my local shops, already filed a police report, and working with PSA to deactivate these certs.
Photo for attention, and because it is the card I am most sad about 😢

Anyone know how much this card is worth?

I can’t believe it. It is so nice in person and has the raised texture like an etched in glass card. Pulled out of a target blaster.
