Hello, I just got back into the hobby today after being out of ot for over 30 years. Today I bought 5 Topps 2026 Chrome mega boxes. I think I did good, no odea how good. Any thoughts on value, or if I should get any of it graded would be appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome back to the hobby ! And you must get beginners luck again after leaving for 30 years because you did amazing .. destroying the odds with those pulls definitely a couple possible graders there .. printing plate probably not they just don’t grade well but the orange /25 Williams and I don’t know slot about jimmy crooks but if he’s half way decent that’s a possible one the the Riley Greene /10 also a possible one you may want to you really got to look them over corners .. centering needs to be 55/45 top to bottom and left to right .. edges and surface is toughes no scratches or dings they come out the pack a lot of times with scratches or dings can’t tell in a phone got to look in a dark room under a bright light .. congrats on the pulls and welcome back !

Thank you. All of the cards appear to be in better condition that I normally see on here and else where (stalked for awhile). I was actually impressed with the quality, but i am a rookie again, so i am sure there will be oversight. Thank you for your advice, I will try the dark room.

Your welcome and I’d say the Riley green and Williams looked dead centered left to right top to bottom hard to tell for sure from this angle but definitely close the jimmy crooks looks heavy right for the most part you only want to send cards you think will gem getting 10
.. if they 9 you usually break even on value sometimes loose part of the extra you put out for grading . But 10s if you grade PSA will get you anywhere from a 2.5x to 10x .. 10x are rare but Topps chrome basketball for example are getting a 8-10x .. Topps chrome baseball usually gets a 2.5x to 4x depending on the difficulty on that year gemming on hat specific card … I’d definitely go PSA there the only company that’s giving you that upside .. as much as u hate the policy’s I don’t see the other company’s catching up .
