Looked around but didn't see an off topic board that really fits, and since this is (mainly about) the UConn men trading cards, figured I'd post it here. If a mod wants to move it to another forum they feel fits the topic better, by all means go ahead. But for UConn related trading card discussion, hop on in!

I collected sports cards back when I was a kid in the early 90s, and recently got back into HR hobby. Licensed college cards only recently came back, so I dove in last year. My mission is to complete the Solomon Ball rainbow set (collecting all alternate versions of a player's base card) for 2023/24 Bowman University Best Basketball. I've gotten most of the easier to get cards, but the rarer copied obviously have been harder to get. There is also a 1 out of 1 "superfractor" out there somewhere for Ball but seems like it hasn't surfaced yet ...gonna be hard to get that one.

Hoped to complete the rainbow set before the season started (and Ball goes off) but not looking likely.:D

Also a few other cards of Castle I've gotten (and my holy grail card of Paige and Stephon).

There was a dual auto Bueckers/Castle Bowman card that I had my eye on that ended last night. I was thinking of bidding, but as I already have a rarer version of that card, ended up passing, but it sold for $385, which is very reasonable for a PSA 9 graded version of the #'d to 25 card.

There is another version of that card #'d to 10 (and is 5/10 so jersey match for both of them) that I'm really tempted to try and get, but not sure I want to spend upward of $1k on it. Lol
 
Two blaster boxes of Bowman Chrome U got a Flagg RC (seems worthy of grading), but for UConn: Sarah Strong RC, Ahmad Nowell RC - next trip to Austin will stop by Beckett Grading Services there and get Flagg and Strong cards graded. Nowell's has a bad corner :).

The Flagg RC I pulled in a prior back came back as 10, 10, 10, 10 from BGS, so really hope that appreciates.
 
Dang, thought I had a good chance to score the Castle "big head" Prizmania card for nearly 40% off the most recent sale prices, but ended up getting outbid by $2. :(
 
Umm blaster boxes are $30 each and available right now if ya want to get 'em.

I had to go to panini main page, and shop cards, basketball and scroll to find UConn 2024-2025.

You can still pre-order blaster boxes, but they aren't listed to ship till late-June as well.
 
Anyone want an insane James Bouknight auto collection??? LOL I definitely chose the wrong guy to go all in on...only saving grace is they weren't very expensive to buy when he was a rookie...
