Case #3 Summary

Grade: A-
Comments: This is my weakest case so far, and I think it would probably grade a C at current prices. The Marte auto relic is a strong pull, but the best was obviously the atomic auto relic of Ryan Zimmerman in the final box. I’m thinking maybe $150-200 in cash value. BTW, I appear to have been way off in evaluating the Harper jumbo relic auto in case #2. The first one sold for $768, and it seems unlikely that the others will go for more. The BINs are set at 1299 and 1499, which means they expect to get about 500.

Geez, what product has Dan Hudson not signed for in the last 2 years?

No kidding. He must have made Topps a special deal on his stickers.
