You’re trading print for the card. Sell the Now, bid cash on Prizm. Don’t 3-for-1.
Pass Downtown / Kaboom “18% under FMV”
Discount on the wrong card is still the wrong card.
Pass Mega Box chrome of a hot prospect
Same trap as BCP. Want CPA or licensed RC.
If these print
Bid Licensed hobby RC (Prizm / Optic / Chrome) PSA 10 — under the eBay mid, in a buy window.
Bid 1st Bowman Chrome auto (CPA / CDA) PSA 10 — dump ask. Not BCP, not mega.
Next check
Seven days — if Herbert is still $85, it isn’t going to print. Cut. No baseball adds until November unless the ask is fat enough that winter tape still works.
