Which 2026 rookie are you planning to buy once cards drop?

Draft just wrapped and this class is interesting to me maybe no great players but lots of good ones so already thinking about who to target when product actually starts hitting.

Boozer to Memphis is my early pick, some people saying he might end up the best of the class. Dybantsa to the Wizards seems a nothing burger at 1. But I kinda want to grab the cheaper guards like Acuff before anyone's paying attention.

Who's on your watch list for when the rookie cards come out? Buying early or waiting to see who actually hits?

How do you decide what to grade

Pulled this Havertz numbered to 99 and I'm genuinely torn on whether to send it off.

Still learning the grading side, so trying to figure out how you all make this call:

From the photos, does the centering and corners look clean enough to come back a 9 or 10? Or am I missing stuff a more experienced eye would catch?
Does being numbered /99 change the math at all? Like is a graded gem worth enough over the raw card to justify the fee on something like this, or does it depend more on the player?
With turnaround where it is right now, would you bother on this one or just keep it raw in a one-touch?

Trying to learn how to eyeball "gradeable" before I start spending on submissions. Honest takes welcome, including "keep it raw."
