Printing Plate Question - CMCFan22 - 09-12-2021
I'm just curious, what's everyone's thoughts as to the value of printing plates? For around $25 shipped, I can get a 2015 Topps Kelvin Benjamin printing plate to add to my 2015 Topps Panthers collection, and was wondering if that seems like a good value. That said, myself not being a rarity collector, I wouldn't know if it seems like a good buy or not. Thoughts???

Seems high to me unless it is an auto printing plate. He has 524 printing plates out there. There is one that sold for $3.25 back in June. There is just tons of them out there.

I would definitely go for it if I were you.

Do more popular sets have more expensive plates? Being 2015 base Topps could make it a premium since that is the last Topps base football set and a foundational set. And it's not like Panini which puts the plates in Plates and Patches with a different back that tends to lower the value.
There is only one of that particular plate - maybe the seller would come down in price some, but if you don't get it, you aren't going to see it again.

If you pulled that card out of a blaster wouldn't you be beyond stoked?
It's only $4 more than a blaster, look at it that way.

Get what you like/collect as long as it's affordable to your specific financial situation. Aside from that, I'ld say go for it!
RE: Printing Plate Question - CMCFan22 - 09-14-2021
Thank you all for your input. Unfortunately, someone else bought the plate, which is disappointing, but it frees up more money for me to get Donruss, if that ever comes out.
On the note of 2015 Topps, still looking for gold/pink/camo Panthers
