2:08 that opulence on card auto looks fantastic!

Thanks man!

[@SpursCards21]

Nice Duncans! My fave 😀

[@mindcycle_cards]

Thanks man!

Congrats on the pickups! I'm personally privy to the Harris and Farieds: amazing tags and patches in there. The Harris Colossal is beautiful and makes me miss the days of the reebok jerseys. Can't believe Panini stuck a one color in that 1/1!

[@mindcycle_cards]

Thanks man! Yeah disappointing about that Harris but it wasn’t a ton of money and the black Prizm design still looks nice 😄

I think most people that break reach a dollar amount that they realize is better off not spending or just buying singles.

[@mindcycle_cards]

Yeah one would hope 😄 It’s definitely a losing game overall for most.

Very cool mail month(s). I'll need to check out that watchdog video. Specifically related to Darren's cardporn coverage, Darren teased a story about CP being connected to Beckett and then his reporting stopped. Maybe it's just bad journalism (reporting without verification and/or corrections), or he was asked to kill story. Either way, it isn't a good look for a hobby watchdog.

[@mindcycle_cards]

Appreciate it man. 🙌 Interesting, I didn’t know that about the potential Beckett ties to cardporn. I looked through the cllct website a bit more after I recorded my video and didn’t see any “watchdog” type content, so that appears to more of a talking point than anything right now. Guess we’ll see how it pans out..
