UConn trading card thread

I'm tempted to roll the dice by picking up deals on sealed boxes on eBay, but I think from this point out I'm gonna focus my money on picking up singles for this set. By the end of the week I should have all the Thunder insert cards except for Paige (missed out on an auction unfortunately) and also should have both Profiles of Karaban and Paige (as long as the seller actually ships the Paige as it sold for way under what I thought it was worth lol). I also got a Karaban Color Blast but completing that set will not be easy.

Also still trying to complete my Solo rainbow set for 23-24 Bowman U Best. All I'm missing is 1 red /10, red lava /5 and white geometric /5, and of course his superfractor!
 
Good call. While I secured a Tina Charles auto as well as Caron Butler, I'm still 8 SP autos away from the set.

Felt like 20x2x6x4 =960 cards would yield a ton of base cards 1-50, a lot of red/white/blue and donut versions, but hopefully some low number alt I need or sigs needed. If any dupes of what I have show up will post in the trading card forum but if I know you need them, I will let you know.
 
Noticed the Panini NIL Prizm 15 card alternate set has some obvious alternates (I have a green bordered angry Jim Calhoun variant), there is a subtle alternate that you need to examine to see if you have: the holo one.

Holo variant has a slight refracting rainbow to the front if it catches the light, and on the back in the upper right is "PRIZM", while the base Prizm does not have those characteristics.

Found a Paige, an Azzi, and a Solo like that and unless in light, you won't know.
 
Man, Kaitlyn Chen cards certainly have blown up ever since she got (re)signed by the Valkyries. The fact the Panini UConn NIL set is one of the only sets that have her cards (outside of ONIT) is definitely a factor. Base autos of her that were selling for $25-30 or so are now going for $50+!
 
Hey if you collect the NIL card, there is a Student Orientationn subset (5 cards). Base is white like the other main cards, but the first alt is Halo and it's on a par looking like the Prizm halo - silver.

Same issue - their White Vinyl / 10 is so similar you need to really, really differentiate. The back would have the numbering above the player name but the front IMHO Panini did a bad job of differentiating from the halo variety.

Sharing b/c in my small pile I found a Jana 4/10.
 
Got a couple of my PC cards graded by Beckett. Not quite the grades I wanted but they're now nice and safe in slabs.

BGS is risky if you are gonna sell those - if keeping for your own collection that is probably the min grade (8.5) you want.

Yeah, at a 8.5 it is probably a push as far as value goes (for selling) compared to ungraded. The Clingan is a 1 of 1, so the grade matters less for that card, but for the Paige/Steph card the 8.5 probably hurts it a little. Really thought both of these were candidates for at least 9.5s, but I guess for the Clingan there must have been some defect on the surface I didn't catch because I swore it was one of the most clean cards I'd ever seen in person.

Well to be fair it's Panini and we both know the quality of card that comes out of their packs.....
 
I can confirm thru Panini if you see an a Private Signing with a different numbering than /199 /99 /50 /25 /10 /5 /1 it is an SP. Really good SPs I've seen /15 but some alternate like /33 too. One knucklehead did an /66 on ebay but it was /99 and he had it upside down. Anyway hope this helps.

Sanogo is an SP on their checklist I think. It would be for Paige or Alex types but also my Sue Bird /15
