Cool card, but it’s score. It’s still a cool card though.

I am curious what Phillies fans think of Gage Wood and his MLB prospect chances are. I pulled this card from a box of Bowman draft and my jaw dropped when I saw the 10/10 in the corner. It is on its way to PSA for grading. I am curious on his odds of making it in the majors. I am not sure if I should sell or hold. What do you think? Again, I wasn’t familiar with him until I researched the card. I really only know about Mariner prospects.

I wanted to share a cool family story with you all. Both of my Grandparents have passed, so I cannot ask for the story again unfortunately. The story is close to true, if not 100% true.

My Grandpa owned a construction company in Portland, Oregon for 50 ish years. He was at a trade show for his company one day. Somewhere in the trade show there was a fly fishing company that had set up a booth. They had Ted Williams there endorsing their company. Somehow, my Grandpa and him worked out a deal. It was X number of signed balls in exchange for services or a discount on services for a structure of some sort. The trouble was, neither of them had any baseballs on hand. My Grandpa found a booth that sold these rubber baseballs and Ted Williams signed them. I was given one from my Grandpa when I was about 20 years old (I am in my late 40’s now). I always loved the story and the ball, but I wish my Grandparents were still around to tell it.

I am selling off all my cards that are not my PC (Mariners & Seahawks) to build some savings.I have a lot of cards that are worth $5-10. Shoulder I bundle them as player or team lots or sell individually? It seems to me people would shy away from a $5-10 card if they had to pay shipping. If I bundle, shipping would be cheaper. Any thoughts?

I posted this card herewhen I pulled it a few weeks ago. I decided to get it graded and submitted it today. Hopefully it will get a good grade. It was top loaded and sleeved right out of the pack. I thought it was interesting I had to put it in a softer top loader per GameStop. Seems less protected.
