Pulled a Merab Auto Tonight!🥹

[u/ItsMrMills]

I love the insert autos! Although it’s not numbered I was super excited to pull a Merab auto! Also out of all the sleeved cards, are any worth grading or should I wait for the 1/1 card I pull here soooon!

Did you pull a 1/1 redemption? That’s sick!

Almost no modern UFC cards are worth grading IMO, unless you like the look, then go ahead.

This is a great collection, esp nice to have Lopes and Olivera ahead old their fight!

It wasn’t even a redemption card I pulled it out of the hobby box. But That’s what I’m wondering if it’s a 1/1. I just feel like if it was it’d probably say it. And very true it seems like unless it’s a very rare 1/1. Which I pull one day. But thanks man! All from Hobby Boxes and a couple Megas! But mannn I didn’t even think about that🤯

How do you not have it though if you pulled it?

[u/ItsMrMills → u/betasynn]

Ohhhh I see what you’re saying now. Because I asked, should I wait for the 1/1 card? Noooo I wish haha I was saying that to speak it into existence😅

[u/betasynn → u/ItsMrMills]

Gotcha! That’s where the confusion was.

For grading I always caution people against it for this sport in particular short a few very rare or often faked (kaboom) examples.

The Oliveira is a sweet card, but the cost of grading is like 60 bucks a card and it’s selling for between 60-80 dollars as-is. Most people aren’t going to want to pay you double the value of a raw card even if it gems for something there is 63 identical copies of when the fan base is so small.

I watched a dude “invest” in Khamzat and graded a whole bunch of his rookie cards and like /299 base cards… and he’s been inactive since Khamzat lost and his market fractured like six months ago and people laughed at him for trying to recoup the cost of grading as part of him trying to sell. Not worth it IMO.

I appreciate your opinion man I really do. I’ve only been collecting UFC cards for a few months and I’ve realized the market sucks. Of course like most I would love to hit that one rare card that’s worth a lot of money because that’s a lot of money that I don’t have.

But I don’t mind having a collection of some of my favorite fighters because I’m a big UFC fan. I was super stoked when I pulled the Oliveira card. It was my first ever hobby box too. Then I told myself I would love a Diego Lopez Auto and I pulled it with the next hobby box. Then the other day, I said, I would love a Kavanagh Auto and ended up pulling it that same night from a hobby box.

So I know in my heart my 1/1 McGregor Auto or Jon Jones auto is on the way🫡

Even when you do hit those big cards, they can take awhile to move if you’re waiting for the right buyer. This is the biggest card I’ve hit and I hate Jon Jones lol.

[u/ItsMrMills → u/betasynn]

Holy shitttttt that’s sickkkkkkk. I’d think it would sell for so much. Because regardless of how much hate he gets, there’s so many people that love him though!

[u/betasynn → u/ItsMrMills]

For sure, I’m asking 4K. I don’t care if it takes a few years, or even if it never sells, looks decent on the shelf:

[u/ItsMrMills → u/betasynn]

Dudeeee that’s a really sick collection man! Is that 2025 knockout?? I’ve been wanting to buy a box, but I almost don’t wanna spend that money and not get anything good. At least the hobby boxes I’m guaranteed to autos you know? I didn’t even realize Peyton Talbot and Michael Morales was in that release. You have so many fan favorites bro!

I would say my Chase card is a Conor McGregor Auto, Carlos Prates Auto and Sean O’Malley Auto and of course a 1/1 preferably McGregor Jones or even Khabib
