the white last name is rare and was an error on Topps part. It makes it a lot more valuable. But I added the yellow last name to it last week.

What was the turnaround on PSA? I have a few that I've thought about sending off.

I sent some through a local card store and got them back in less than 40 days but they up charged me something crazy.  I sent some on my own on May 12th and the app says it will be August before I get them back.  I hope that’s wrong.  
 

Will keep you posted.

My cousin coaches his son's LL team.  At season end, he gives the kids on the team a baseball card of the player he thinks each kid played like.   This year's giveaways:

I can confidently say that none of those kids played anything like any of those guys lmao

Thats cool though.

where did you grow up? just curious because i’ve never met anyone raised in texas who actually loves hockey.

edit: should say loves hockey enough to make hockey memorabilia a centerpiece of a collection.

Wal-Mart is selling jumbo packs of 2023 Topps for $5.  Series 1 packs have 36 cards with at least 4-5 special cards as inserts.  Series 2 packs have 40 cards also with 4-5 inserts.  Too soon to know if any of the young players are going to be studs but I've pulled a fair amount of the top players (Shohei, Judge, Soto, Vlad Guerrero, etc.)

Not a terrible way to waste some money.
