Josh, super pumped for you and Micah, hope you all have a blast and fill all 3 of those boxes. Tell Micah I recommend the David Robinson rookie as one of his NBA HOF guys and also Tim Duncan. You could line up those guys with your Wendy card and have a solid display for all time great Spurs.

I just told him this and he liked this idea! We are planning to get his wemby graded so maybe we can find him some slabs for a nice display! Great idea

Nice write up by Josh. Excited for you, never been to one, but hope to make a Chicago one someday. Hope you and your family have an awesome time, and you guys find some new wax to bust!

Again, I completely agree with CEO Patrick. On a related note, it’s ridiculous we’re still waiting for one of the big hobby/retail 2023 football releases (Select) in July/August ‘24! I really wonder how far behind Panini will be when the license ends, cause how in the world could they catch up at this rate… Anyway, I love your defined rules for rookies, Patrick, as well as dumping Update!

You hit the nail on the head, David, what is it about the name Thurman that connotes grumpiness? I don’t know, but it sure does!

Thanks for sharing, fellas.

Thanks for commenting, Scott -- man, I want to hit up one in Chicago as well. Y'all can keep Atlantic City! haha -- Cleveland would have been fun, though, with a trip over to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame mixed in.

You all can come up to the Dallas card show, think they run 3 or 4 a year. You just have to promise to not coordinate an elaborate heist and steal 2 million in cards.

THAT's what I need to do. I keep forgetting you live in Texas -- I always picture you in Pittsburgh! The Dallas Card Show might be the move to make! The one in early November might be the one!

Patrick, love the idea, we need a better schedule and clear up on rookies this would do that, i like keep designs as inserts like chrome black, in some ways they could have more quality signers that way.

No PSA 10s of the munson that is wild, somewhere in a box you reckon one sits waiting to be graded a perfect 10. I wonder how many other big players dont have a 10 grade

I imagine a smaller company, like HGA or CGC has a 10 in there somewhere for this card -- just for the publicity! haha -- although, HGA sent me back an HGA 3 on this card. But I wanted it cuz of the horizontal slab -- and this card looks SO GOOD in a horizontal slab. Come on, PSA -- or SGC! - let's see some horizontal slabs!
