Yea, I’m not extremely knowledgeable with the grades but had been watching PSA 5s for about a month since it was in my price range. Snatched this one up when I saw it on eBay. Still not sure why it’s a five. Was a little nervous since I thought it might be too good to be true.

How do you collect your Padres cards, team sets, individual players, base sets, inserts, test issues ?
Honestly it’s mostly bowman chrome of prospects. Have a lot of Fernando Tatis Jr cards, a Gwynn auto, some random Heritage. It’s kind of all over the place.
