RE: Value? Suh Printing Plate
The Suh is actually the Sepia Refractor for this year's chrome:

Plates are numbered 1/1, this is out of /99. Look up Suh 2014 Chrome Sepia, it might help you find it.
The Odell is a Rookie Die Cut, which is fairly common,

RE: Value? Suh Printing Plate
Yeah, I know the feeling
One thing that really stands out with the printing plates (especially chrome) is that the entire card is a thin sheet of aluminum with a sticker on the back that says it's a plate and a 1/1. Here is a good example: this is a plate of Eric Berry from the same set (Cyan color):
This is what the back will look like:
Just for future reference

Been coming up empty a lot lately with hobby boxes but that's probably because I'm buying him lower end ones like Rookies and Stars and Topps Chrome
Yeah, I just got back into collecting hard core probably 3 years ago after a long hiatus. Topps Chrome this year was TERRIBLE for actually getting anything good, so definitely avoid that, especially if you're only buying boxes. I would personally recommend Prizm. I bought a case of regular hobby recently, and 2 cards out of that case were enough to pay for 80% of another case, so I used the proceeds from that to buy a second case. I'm in process of trying to sell ones from that case to fund a third, so it seems like it has a bit more return then Chrome, and I like the design better. Good luck with your new found collecting itch

RE: Value? Suh Printing Plate
Unfortunately you will come up empty on hobby boxes, I think they are the biggest rip off and you never get your money back
That's why you see a lot of people collect certain teams, players, alma maters, positions, and etc. spending 100$ on 3 no name rookie autos not numbered or just spend that 100$ on stuff like!
I started back in the hobby in 2009 and bought hobby boxes, spent nearly 3000$ that year and best card I pulled was a Devin McCourty auto /49, clearly not worth 3000$ but what I am trying to say is that if I was going to spend all that money on nothing, I could have bought stuff like Manning, Farve, Luck, Marino, Montana autos and patches that keep value instead of trying to chase that 1 big break...

I've noticed. It sucks. It's so fun/exciting to get a good pull. Buying the stuff after someone else pulls it just seems.....bland.
