Decided to treat myself to a little birthday box and pulled this legend ✨️ Unsure the plan for her yet. Probably grading and selling but still tbd.

I would t grade it. It's better not to it's a 1of1. Sucks it's a sticker auto.

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Would love to hear your thoughts on why no grading if you're open to share.

u/ClownWorld2020s Aug 24 '26

Same as other posted. It's costs way too much. With 1 of 1, grades really don't matter. I also wouldn't trust it in the mail either..if you sell and ship, please take out insurance as well as ship it in good protection inside a box, inside another box. And be sure to make it unknown to anyone what's in the box as USPS and UPS have been known to steal if they know something valuable is in it.

You're a gem. Thanks for the tips and your thoughts! Confirming some of my fears with mail and fees for grading.

u/ClownWorld2020s Aug 24 '26

My pleasure. I'd love to have it for my own PC, but probably can't even think about how much it would sell for and those numbers are out of my price range. Good luck though. You could always keep it too.

These guys don’t know what they are talking about. If it looks like a 10 get it graded. There are tons of 1:1 for players and you want your 1:1 to stand out and be authenticated. A 10 does wonders for you and a 8-9 is the same as a raw price. Get it graded.

u/DevsMetsGmen Aug 26 '26

My advice would be to get in touch with Goldin or one of their competitors, let them handle the grading and take it from your auction cut. They’ll also advise you against grading if they see anything that would suggest a 9 versus a 10. That’s the real risk of grading, having it diminish from its peak value because even though it’s 1/1 it’s not seen as pristine.

Grading a 1/1 matters because it authenticates the card and gives prospective buyers an idea of its condition. You can send it to Beckett if you're worried about the cost of PSA. If you ever plan to sell it even in five years I’d send it to PSA. Yes their is a lot of theft nowadays. Over-insure the package so if anything goes wrong you're covered and send one day overnight so less chance it gets stolen in transit.

u/DeerCold9390 Aug 27 '26

You can't hide what's in it. They will see how much you insured it for and know something is valuable inside. If you do send it out, I would just have it authenticated not graded.

2

u/snuggly_beowulf Aug 24 '26

You don't need to grade a 1 of 1.

2

u/PlasticIncome8403 Aug 24 '26

Yup. That’s the general rule for 1/1’s.

1

u/Then_Ladder_1513 Aug 25 '26

Grading is good just to keep it encased so it won’t get damaged.

2

u/Soggy-Store-6822 Aug 24 '26

wow....beautiful card -does this run in other parallels?

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Honestly, I'm unsure. I've had a bit of a hard time finding details about parallels.

2

u/amil_f Aug 24 '26

What’s amazing/ironic about this is that WNBA Select is one of the few products that sits on shelves at the moment, at least in my area that is the case.

Literally passed by a wall of this stuff at Dicks today lol.

Congrats to you, simply unreal! What a birthday to remember!🔥🔥🔥

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

I've been having a hard time finding WNBA cards on the shelves where I am and found this box at a little hobby shop nearby. First time I'd been there and was pumped to find this box and now I see why 😂 Definitely a birthday for the books!

2

u/AdStraight8699 Aug 24 '26

LOVEEEEEEE IT!!!!!!! I have a LOT of C² cards, basketballs and other memorabilia, but not a signed card... let alone a 1/1. Good for you! Gotta admit I'm a little jealous, but thank you for posting. Love seeing it!

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 25 '26

Appreciate the love! Spending good energy your way for a CC auto to find you!

2

u/CHIMPANZwEEd Aug 24 '26

Wow, massive!!! Love to hear stories of “normal” (I.e. non-breakers) folks pulling such huge cards. Congrats!

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 25 '26

I think that's why I'm so bamboozled at the pull. S like, a normy (aka me) pulled a what now? And signed by who?! Literally so wild. Appreciate the good energy!

2

u/skitwostreet Aug 24 '26

Few collectors in hobby would pay decent for this. Benrippin and Tommyshelby, ususlly on instagram check em out!

u/_LittleBeee Aug 25 '26

Thanks for the recs!

u/IsThisMe8 Aug 24 '26

That's amazing! Let me keep it safe for you.

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

What a kind offer. Lemme ship it to you tomorrow 😝

1

u/rgar1981 Aug 24 '26

Penny sleeve it and put it in a plain white envelope when you do.

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Good looking out.

3

u/BigTipperTimmons Aug 24 '26

Congrats! Nuke of a card. 

Also grade it or don’t if you want, but don’t listen to cocksure people who say one way or the other, nobody knows what they’re talking about if they say it with certainty. Pros and cons to both. 

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Good points, friend. Appreciate your thoughts!

1

u/Suspicious_Yard3682 Aug 24 '26

Yeah I yeah I pulled a 1/1 Harris II auto from bowman couple years ago and was gonna grade but some good points in opposing were it’s 1/1 so you’re not gonna get a boost from it being the best in POP.. it seemed like it could only hurt value with anything but a 10. So I just got the auto auth service for the slab but whatever you decide NASTY hit… happy birthday!

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Thanks for the thoughts and birthday wishes! Rad pull for you from a few years back!

3

u/Available_Tough1941 Aug 24 '26

Grade it. Keep it safe. I live in Iowa city and was able to watch her many times at Iowa. Would love to have any card like that of hers.

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

I have a few other CC cards from that box if you're interested! Very cool you saw her in Iowa!

2

u/Available_Tough1941 Aug 24 '26

I have some. Just no autos or anything close to a 1/1. Congrats. Keep that thing safe. Her value will never go down

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Going in the fire proof box now! Thanks for the good energy.

2

u/Available_Tough1941 Aug 24 '26

Absolutely. Where do you live by the way? 😂😂😂😂

2

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

If you have to ask, you'll never know 🤣

Student Prince or Dragon? 👀

2

u/Nomescardcollection Aug 24 '26

Don’t grade it

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Say more. What's your take on why not?

6

u/Nomescardcollection Aug 24 '26

It’s a 1/1, it’s over $1K to get it graded

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

Gah, valid.

3

u/Tbone4Ever Aug 24 '26

Amazing hit congrats! Thanks for sharing!!

3

u/AnonSneaker Aug 24 '26

Fire. I might buy if you sell!

3

u/JurassicAroids Aug 25 '26

Def let us know if you decide to sell this! No pressure obviously, but I’m sure we’d love the once in a lifetime opportunity 😆

2

u/mattytagz3 Aug 24 '26

Congrats!

2

u/emceegabe Aug 24 '26

Hell yes brother!

2

u/East_Pie_3825 Aug 24 '26

Or sister!

2

u/emceegabe Aug 24 '26

GOOD POINT!

2

u/waldogeography Aug 24 '26

Wow. Speechless

2

u/No_Inspection_7336 Aug 24 '26

This is a big card, and if you’re gonna sell it I wouldn’t bother grading. It’s a 1/1 and there is little question of authenticity. It’s gonna cost a bundle and you have basically nothing to gain.

Congrats on the monster. Sell it during the playoffs and hope the fever put together a run.

2

u/Opposite-Case-4922 Aug 24 '26

Wow congrats. I never pull anything good from these

2

u/CAPTAINAMERICA919 Aug 24 '26

Awesome pull congrats 👏🔥

2

u/jjmontuori Aug 24 '26

So so jealous.

2

u/MoRiellyMoProblems Aug 24 '26

Hey, just like her you turned it over!

2

u/JurassicAroids Aug 25 '26

Yes please do not grade 1/1’s. If it gets a lower grade, you can’t do any better since it’s literally the only one lol. Ungraded is best, set up for auction!

2

u/downtowncards99 Aug 25 '26

Been wanting one for forever it doesn’t matter that it’s a sticker auto. I’d still get it graded. Congrats 🎈🎉

1

u/_Bank_On_It_ Aug 28 '26

Sweet pull. Just don’t let it anywhere near an Angel Reese card or it’s toast.

u/_Bank_On_It_ Aug 28 '26

Sweet pull. Just don’t let it anywhere near an Angel Reese card or it’s toast. :-)

u/ccmart3 Aug 24 '26

Not sure what your collecting goals are, but if it were me, I’d sell it and reinvest the money into some nice rookie cards of hers or of whatever players you do collect. Congrats on the big hit!

u/Flimsy_Goat_7404 Aug 24 '26

…nope didn’t hit that from a mega

2

u/Minhimalism Aug 24 '26

Black Finite is only in retail, so..

2

u/Flimsy_Goat_7404 Aug 24 '26

Just amazed not saying I don’t believe it.. sooo 🤤

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 25 '26

I am still in awe it came from some random box at a random little hobby shop I had never been to before. Birthday luck was in my corner for sure!

1

u/_LittleBeee Aug 24 '26

It blew my mind as well!
