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.

Heh yeah, you know as well as I do that there is no shortage of Xavier Worthy sig cards for sale... I still love the idea of football cards, but as someone who collected heavily in the 80s and 90s, that era just absolutely killed off all the fucks I had to give
I spent a LOT of money, and didn't really get a damn thing out of it
These days I'm plenty satisfied with my Crown Jewel... a 2017 Prestige Rookie Roundup Mahomes, thats my baby [Reply]
Leaf is not very desirable from what I've seen since they don't have the rights to any team stuff; they'll cover up any logos, team names, etc., and I don't believe they put any stats on the back of the card. Panini is bad about pumping out so many variations of the same card, but Leaf is even worse. [Reply]

It's a 1/3 and gem mint so it's very enticing.
Leaf is viewed as a lesser/secondary product as they do not hold any licenses from the various sports leagues (currently all held by Panini, Fanatics, and Upper Deck with major changes coming soon but that’s a story for another day). This means they are not allowed to print logos or team names on jerseys. This makes their cards less desirable to most collectors. However, this mentality has started to wane a bit due to the high ROI from opening Leaf products compared to the big brands. So basically, if you can live with airbrushed logos and team names and understand that your card will not be worth nearly as much as its licensed equivalent, then by all means, go for it. However, if you’re buying strictly as an investment for future profits, then definitely wait for licensed Panini (current exclusive license owner to print NFL cards) releases. I actually own quite a few leaf cards. [Reply]
Anybody here interested in selling any cards? Looking to pick up some more and thought I'd buy from CP instead of feebay. Looking to buy mid-high end stuff. [Reply]

Got a few thousand from the 70's, 80's and 90's. The majority are baseball. Some football, one book of fantasy and Beatles cards another Pokemon.

Opened to a random page. Most in boxes.
Cool collection, Stump! Really only looking for Chiefs though. [Reply]
Got all my graded card submissions back over the past few months, thought there may be some interest. Nothing terribly valuable, but fun for the collection!

I have a few hundred cards from the 60s and 70s that are in varying condition, and also an untouched box set from 1982. Let's talk. They've been sitting in my closet for a few decades now. [Reply]

Yep, glad I have one of his earliest sigs. [Reply]

I own a few Leaf and Sage cards as well. If you want auto's of lesser known players like UDFA's and especially OL, many times Leaf and Sage are the only options. An Andy Reid auto in Leaf is economical. Nikko Remigio has had a great ROI. Those $1 auto's of Nikko last year regularly go for $10 now. I can't imagine that Panini will ever have a Khyree Jackson auto, but Sage does. [Reply]
