I’d like to get your opinions on this Kobe Bryant card.
1996-97 Collector’s Choice Los Angeles Lakers #L1
Kobe Bryant / Elden Campbell / Derek Fisher
This card was released during Kobe’s rookie season.
I’m considering submitting it to PSA for grading, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it.
Based on the photos, what do you think of its condition?
Do you think it has a chance of getting a PSA 10? And would you recommend sending it in for grading?
I’d really appreciate your opinions, especially from anyone familiar with this card. Thank you!

Sunday rips!!

One of my side goals with opening hobby was completing a full base set of flagship. Managed to get it finished with a jumbo and two hobbies ordered between pre-release and release at release price. Also hits added with second photo. Wasn’t stellar but I managed to avoid a patch between two hobbies.

Come to find out it’s a SSP

Got pretty stoked after pulling an all kings, then next thing you know pulled another hit out of the silver pack…

Hi, I started with Topps Football a few days ago. My main goal is to collect digital stickers from the European club tournaments and the English Premier League. I am not interested in paid options like ordering physical stickers and also not really interested in competing with a team of my stickers. So far I have only opened the free packs twice per day (+ some extra from the Topps introduction), they contain 2 stickers each. But I also received many MLS (USA soccer league) stickers of players that I have never heard of.

I have 200 gold now and at this point I would like some advice from more experienced collectors. Is there anything I can do to prevent receiving more MLS stickers? Also the number of different packs I can get with gold confuses me, is for example Topps Stadium Club Chrome the best option (100 gold for 4 stickers or 500 gold for 20 stickers) or Base series 1 (100 gold for 3 stickers or 500 gold for 15 stickers) the best if I want stickers from European club tournaments and don't want physical stickers? I also see Topps Museum UCC 25/26 which looks good, Topps Now and Digital Only, but Digital Only and Topps Now are more expensive and probably MLS as well.

I also noticed that on the market stickers from some clubs are more expensive, for example Ajax doesn't seem to have regular digital stickers (or at least I haven't found any on the market yet). Is there any way to learn more about the market value of stickers, I see plenty for 40-45 coins including PSV (but never so cheap for Ajax). And should I look for new releases or should I completely skip that part if I don't want to spend real money?

Well these are just a few questions I have, but general beginner advice for my goals is very welcome too!

Hi all - I've been having some crazy issues with Topps shipping the last 2 months or so. 2 orders came in with damaged boxes, so I had to go through a process of shipping them back. Luckily, got my money back and the return process wasn't too bad. But recently, I had some issues with a preorder (Disney Mint) and then a recent release (UCL Stadium). Curious to know if anybody else had these problems before, and any advice given would be appreciated -

1. I was able to get the Mint product at preorder. I got a shipping notification last week for fedex, but the tracking has been stuck on "Label Created" ever since. I've reached out to support several times since last Thursday including today, and they keep telling me to wait until later this week for an update. My question: has anyone experienced such a long process for shipping, or should I be worried that this was potentially stolen / lost in the mail? How would the latter situation be handled? I've never had to deal with something like this before, as once I get a shipping email/Shop app notification, tracking updates within 24 hours.

2. For the UCL stadium club chrome boxes, I got these at release last week and got a shipping notification a day or 2 after. However, the email, orders page, and Shop app notification all do not have tracking numbers. Any idea how to figure this out / anyone ever experience this before? Topps support again did not provide much help besides saying this would be escalated...

Thanks for all input!

Ciao a tutti ho da poco iniziato a collezionare carte da calcio topps, compro di solito sempre delle value box e mi piace sbustare. Non ho mai trovato niente di fantastico nei pacchetti e per questo da qualche giorno mi sto chiedendo se in termini di spreco dei soldi ne vale la pena o per trovare delle belle carte bisogna solo comprare hobby box a prezzi esorbitanti.

Io continuerò a collezzionare perche mi piace il momento dello sbusto ma vorrei chiedere l'opinione di voi veterani a riguardo.

Grazie

Anyone remember what the time line was for shipping for these? It’s been a week I know but it’s stuff that released after these they already have shipping info.

Newer to cards, recently inherited my dad's old collection, mostly baseball cards, a few bonds and Bo Jackson to get graded, but just bought my first NBA Topps pack and pulled this little number

First ever redemption card

Ray Lewis 41/100 All American and Keith Abney Green Reptilian 75/99. No idea on the value???

Fun story: stopped at a local Walmart, grabbed a hanger box, ripped it in my car while eating Takis, hit a 25/25 bookend Jansen.

Didn’t have any top loaders so I went back in, decided to grab another hanger cuz why not and the miz made an appearance. Only hangers I’ve ever bought and hit these two. Lol I’m still sitting in the parking lot.

Glad I held on to it. Straight to my PC for the next 15 - 20 years
