I want to show you my newest sports card...

[arrowheadnation]

The sports card market is absolutely booming right now. I sold off enough of my other stuff to buy this. There are only 10 of them. It is indescribably beautiful.

This is what you call an "image variation" from the Bowman Draft 2024 set. Specifically, this player's "college image variation". Very rare. Very expensive. It'll be worth 10x in 3 calendar years.

Didn't think college uniformed.rookies ever sell as.good as big league uniformed rookie cards.

If so. I have a.barry sanders platinum embossed rookie card.somewhere.

Scored this baby in a blaster pack today, it saved the entire purchase because everything else was CRAP

Really tired of this new trend of making new cards for old players, Panini does it too... half the cards I got today were long retired guys like Shaun Alexander, Todd Heap, Kellen Winslow etc

If I wanted their worthless cards I would've collected them back when they were still playing

Dude that's a college image variation of Bowman draft. They print like 100 of those. Total. Currently it's at PSA. I wouldn't sell it for less than 500. If it gets the 10 I expect, it's four digits.

You don't even know how rare that type of card is. It isn't a universal thing. Not all cards of a cat in a college uniform are worth tons. This one is.

I also have a Hagan Smith college uniform variation with PSA right now. Arkansas.

Not sure when Panini starts releasing their product each year but I will roll the dice on a couple of boxes, just have to make sure Mahomes cards are in the release. Some of their boxes might be advertised for other limited cards that you can find in that box release.

Panini lies about their hit rates. Id avoid that company at all costs. It's a scam company.

Panini stars and stripes came out last month and I bought nothing from them. They're legit fraudulent.
