Appreciate the update Peds! The best pull I've ever seen pulled live. Couldn't have went to a cooler person and a true collector and fan of the game. Congrats 👏
Congrats again on the great pull my friend. Thanks for updating us. I think you did a great job of protecting your “floor” (very worst case, you got $12K) while also protecting your ceiling (if it sells for $30K, you get another $10K). Very creative and smart, IMHO. PS I love the card cave!
Great video!! Love the concept of keeping a third of the card. I hope he gets off to a got start and stays healthy. Looking forward to 2025!! Still can't believe it came out of a blaster. I love that it did and hope we see that in the future.
That’s a pretty unique way to do it. Still have a chance to get more when baseball is going and people are really into the game and hobby. Best of luck will be interested to see how it does when the time comes!
Right on Peds! Thanks for the update! I think thats a good move. Sounds like you're moving out with your chick and getting a little more serious... Nice work!
Wow! That's a unique option for a very unique card. Despite a 9, it is still the only one. Looking forward to seeing it go at auction and what you do next!
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking right away…wait until just before the season starts. You never know what could happen into the season. Good luck Nick!
congrats on the deal man! It’s always tough to think that maybe you could of took the first deal. but all in all you own the card and have cash so to me it’s a win win.
Great solution for a very difficult situation. Great pull and look forward to a great auction result! You deserve it! See you at WOW, all the best- Ed & Eddie
Wow Nick! thats awesome!!! Very smart on ur end! Good luck to u and ur partners! so happy for u! Will u be making a video on ur thoughts of 2025 topps series 1?
You got a great deal $12k cash and 1/3rd of the auction price. I’d actually recommend auctioning it early in the season to avoid injury /letdown potential
Love the shirt Peds I am mets fan from downunder and I been looking for any Mets cards I also playbaseball out here in Aus love it been playing since I was 13 and I am now 51
Great deal bro, i mean looking back the 25K would have been nice but who knows the ceiling of the card. The kid is a stud and still owning a % is clutch.
Congrats on the pull and the sale. After lots of selling of lower value cards on eBay, i have learned my first offer is always the best offer (i dont know why that is).
Congrats on the card, I would of sold it immediately at $20k. There are too many sets printed today, Skenes cards are already flooding the market and the supply will outweigh the demand as a whole. The amount of 1/1s he will have between all the sets is crazy.I hope everything works out.
@ no. But the powers at be like eBay and goldin definitely had that card on their radar. Any number of sources could just drop this link and drop a dime.
Congrats. Thank you for this video. I pulled the ‘24 Sapphire Padparadscha 1/1 Skenes and have no idea the appropriate value. Listed it on eBay and and offers of $4-5k seem undervalued. Congrats again
I’m shocked that card doesn’t fetch more than the amount you were offered. I guess the MLB Debut card devalued other 1/1’s. Congrats none the less and start coming up with new recipes to get cooking with. 👊🏼👍🏽
I actually think that was a solid move. By summertime that card will be hot!!!! Not quite the yacht I was hoping you’d get but we can build a boat out of all that cardboard behind you
Hello, I think you did the right thing, I don't invest that much money in a pitcher, an injury may leave him sidelined and his career end quickly, I don't want any of this to happen to him, but the risk is high. I think it's okay
Love the win-win situation. If it sells for $20K, then you get another $6K on top of that. Not a bad decision. Hopefully it sells for more then the Wander did. lol.
I still say grade doesn't matter on a 1/1. Timing is everything, just look at Brett's Wonder! He pulled it at the perfect time and got $65k, I think. Now that card is worth....$500 ??? Definitely a creative solution. 12k + at least 3k is pretty darn good. If he dominates this year, which he should, i can see that card bumping up to $25k, which should get you a nice additional 8k-ish?
Glad you came up with a deal. The most I ever spent on a card was over $500. Granted I sold off a bunch of crap I had lying around to do it. The card I bought is probably valued at $50. Now unfortunately. But I don't care nor do I regret doing it. I care less on card values. I'm just trying to get every example of my PC player's cards. It sucks that most of the cards I don't have. Have been listed on ebay since the pandemic and are still priced the same.🤦♂️🤬
I think everyone thinks 1/1's will do what Brett's Wander did a couple years ago - he got beyond lucky - I think you made a good decision - great pull and let's hope Skenes keeps dealing and, maybe, more importantly, locks up Livvy Dunne!
Baseball is down, but it is always down this time of year. It's a risk to hold onto a card like that (Wander anyone) but it sounds like you moved a lot of that risk onto the 2 other buyers. Selling in a few months is where the Ceiling is the highest, and hopefully the economy will ne moving in the right direction as well.
It’s gunna hurt if that card sells for a lot I feel like you shoulda just auctioned it yourself. It’s like you’re giving away 66% of the card for a $12,000 loan essentially. But hey you’re $12,000 richer and you get to open cards so life’s not so bad haha. Congrats on the sale. 👍
Thought the kid pulled the card out of the pack unless was another Paul Skenes card that was shown on video recently? If can take the money and put it away for the kid. To get what ever card(s) is best in trade with cash and keep the cards for investment. To forget about the money in essence.
Thanks for being so open about this and including details. This feels like a good hedge, as you are guaranteed $12K even if something happens to him and potentially much more. I wouldn't have known what to do in this situation. Just wondering, do you work out a contract with those 2 people, or something like that?
Well good for you. I personally would have sat on it till next year or so. When his value peeks again. 📈as long as he doesn’t blow out his arm, he should be strong next year. Remember this is house money in the long run. 🎉😊
Obviously shoulda sold it private party for $20k and the $5k card, but you’re up $12k w/ more to be made. Not bad. Auction would have gashed you in fees
Should have just sold it at 20K because he's probably not going to have a good career going forward especially playing for the Pirates. Only reason people are so high on him is because he's dating Livvy Dunne.
Awesome Peds! It sounds like it work out all around! Great update, and great deal!
Really interesting move. Thanks for sharing the thought-process and methodology! Best of luck with the auction this summer!
Appreciate the update Peds! The best pull I've ever seen pulled live. Couldn't have went to a cooler person and a true collector and fan of the game. Congrats 👏
Thanks for the update...Your inventory looks fire by the way BANG!!!!!!
Thanks for the update! We had been curious about it. Good luck with auctioning it this summer!!
Love the clean and organized look of the room (or at least the corner).
Congrats again on the great pull my friend. Thanks for updating us. I think you did a great job of protecting your “floor” (very worst case, you got $12K) while also protecting your ceiling (if it sells for $30K, you get another $10K). Very creative and smart, IMHO. PS I love the card cave!
I like that deal. Three of you have skin in the game and potential upside. Good luck! Glad you pulled that too.
Appreciate the update!!! 🤜💥🤛 that night was amazing and looking forward to amazing stuff for 2025🔥🔥
Awesome Peds, it's been a Wild Ride, always enjoy your videos, thank you for the update, Congrats 🔥🔥👍
I love that idea. Congratulations my friend!
Great video!! Love the concept of keeping a third of the card. I hope he gets off to a got start and stays healthy. Looking forward to 2025!! Still can't believe it came out of a blaster. I love that it did and hope we see that in the future.
Great for you Peds! Really happy for you and hopefully things work out even better later in the summer.
That’s a pretty unique way to do it. Still have a chance to get more when baseball is going and people are really into the game and hobby. Best of luck will be interested to see how it does when the time comes!
Right on Peds! Thanks for the update! I think thats a good move. Sounds like you're moving out with your chick and getting a little more serious... Nice work!
Wow! That's a unique option for a very unique card. Despite a 9, it is still the only one. Looking forward to seeing it go at auction and what you do next!
Great choice, and man what an awesome card you pulled, super happy for you bro!!!
Just happy for you man most of us who open ain’t great sellers we all hope to hit the one big one that basically evens out all the 💵 over the years
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking right away…wait until just before the season starts. You never know what could happen into the season. Good luck Nick!
congrats on the deal man! It’s always tough to think that maybe you could of took the first deal. but all in all you own the card and have cash so to me it’s a win win.
Great update, I like the plan. Hope it works out for you.
Great solution for a very difficult situation. Great pull and look forward to a great auction result! You deserve it! See you at WOW, all the best- Ed & Eddie
Congratulations on the deal 🍀🔥
Very creative! Hope he plays amazing this season!
The Portal of Pandamonia for sure! Congrats brother. So happy for you.
Wow Nick! thats awesome!!! Very smart on ur end! Good luck to u and ur partners! so happy for u!
Will u be making a video on ur thoughts of 2025 topps series 1?
You got a great deal $12k cash and 1/3rd of the auction price. I’d actually recommend auctioning it early in the season to avoid injury /letdown potential
Thats a cool outside of the box way to do it ..congrats
Love the shirt Peds I am mets fan from downunder and I been looking for any Mets cards I also playbaseball out here in Aus love it been playing since I was 13 and I am now 51
Not a bad deal u made some money and still have a chance to cash out. Nice bro for a pice of paper lol. Nice one!
Sounds like a great investment. Smart move
Congrats Nick on the deal…and keeping a 1/3 ownership for the upside!
Congrats man. That’s an awesome deal!
Cool to see your background and how you organize.
Yes! Can you tell me what shelving that is you have to wax on? The distance between shelves is perfect.
Congrats!!
Sounds like a win-win situation! Happy for ya man! Still looking for my fist 1/1..
Sounds like a very fair and lucrative deal!! Happy to hear this, wish you all the best for 2025. 🙂
And hopefully the card sells for $100k or more! 🤠
Spring training call up soon! Congrats on your sale and 2025 plans✌️
Is there a link to the video where you pulled it? Maybe you could add it to the description?
Great deal bro, i mean looking back the 25K would have been nice but who knows the ceiling of the card. The kid is a stud and still owning a % is clutch.
20k cash and a 5k card? Free and clear of the tax man. He misssd out.
Congrats on the pull and the sale. After lots of selling of lower value cards on eBay, i have learned my first offer is always the best offer (i dont know why that is).
Awesome my friend
Congrats peds
Happy problem. The best kind.😂…nice card btw
Congrats on the card, I would of sold it immediately at $20k. There are too many sets printed today, Skenes cards are already flooding the market and the supply will outweigh the demand as a whole. The amount of 1/1s he will have between all the sets is crazy.I hope everything works out.
BROTHER PEDS , SO HAPPY FOR YA BROTHER, KEEP RIPPING AND GRINDING BRO.
Keep the tax man out of this. For real
Unfortunately he just told them
@@posty3613honest question: do you think the IRS is really going to track him down via this video?
@ no. But the powers at be like eBay and goldin definitely had that card on their radar. Any number of sources could just drop this link and drop a dime.
@BenitoFantiago Biden didn't hire 80,000 IRS agents for no reason at all. They are willing to go after cashapp users and servers so...
Congrats. Thank you for this video. I pulled the ‘24 Sapphire Padparadscha 1/1 Skenes and have no idea the appropriate value. Listed it on eBay and and offers of $4-5k seem undervalued. Congrats again
I'd probably say around what the bowman one did, it did 8.5k in a psa 10.
@ That sold for for $14600 with buyers premium.
@@skippy7325bowman is on another level
Congrats my friend.
Hope the auction goes well!
Interesting Deal interesting how it went down. Congratulations!
Great start to 2025 PEDS! Opening day around the corner
Congrats bud. Just wondering has the Halloween Holiday bat 1/1 Skene's parallel been pulled? 😳
Congratulations!
I’m shocked that card doesn’t fetch more than the amount you were offered. I guess the MLB Debut card devalued other 1/1’s. Congrats none the less and start coming up with new recipes to get cooking with. 👊🏼👍🏽
Awesome and unique way of selling the card. I think late spring training/early part of the season is a better time selling tho.
Happy for you man
Sweet deal love the idea that would be a great move if you pull the 1/1 patch
I actually think that was a solid move. By summertime that card will be hot!!!! Not quite the yacht I was hoping you’d get but we can build a boat out of all that cardboard behind you
Anything of value you are selling take the time and do the right thing. Way to be patient.
Super interesting concept (3-way co-owners)!
Rooting for yall with that sale!
Hello, I think you did the right thing, I don't invest that much money in a pitcher, an injury may leave him sidelined and his career end quickly, I don't want any of this to happen to him, but the risk is high. I think it's okay

❤ better pull then anything I ever got ❤
Hell yeah man
Congrats
I think you made a smart move!
Great investment.
So do you wish you'd have taken the original offer? 20k and the 5k card?
I think everyone thinks 1/1's will do what Brett's Wander did a couple years ago - he got beyond lucky - I think you made a good decision - great pull and let's hope Skenes keeps dealing and, maybe, more importantly, locks up Livvy Dunne!
Great decision!
Cool idea…I’ve heard of having partial stakes in a card but it’s not super common. Hope he does well in 2025 and you all can sell it for a premium
That was smart pitchers always get hurt Skenes will too
I don’t understand, if you cut the card into 1/3 would that not make it pretty worthless?
Wong🤦♂️
Goldin would've been the place I would have sold it through.
I don't like the guy but you can't deny he gets the best prices.
I think the word that best describes your reaction was jubilation 🎉
Baseball is down, but it is always down this time of year. It's a risk to hold onto a card like that (Wander anyone) but it sounds like you moved a lot of that risk onto the 2 other buyers. Selling in a few months is where the Ceiling is the highest, and hopefully the economy will ne moving in the right direction as well.
It’s gunna hurt if that card sells for a lot I feel like you shoulda just auctioned it yourself. It’s like you’re giving away 66% of the card for a $12,000 loan essentially.
But hey you’re $12,000 richer and you get to open cards so life’s not so bad haha. Congrats on the sale. 👍
This was for the rookie patch ? Thought a kid found that.
Thought the kid pulled the card out of the pack unless was another Paul Skenes card that was shown on video recently? If can take the money and put it away for the kid. To get what ever card(s) is best in trade with cash and keep the cards for investment. To forget about the money in essence.

I wouldn't have known what to do in this situation. Just wondering, do you work out a contract with those 2 people, or something like that?
Always take the first deal. I pull metal universe green PMG Kirill Kaprizov took the fist deal, now it worth 1/3 of what i got.
great pull congrats get rid of it before hes not popular anymore.
Well good for you. I personally would have sat on it till next year or so. When his value peeks again. 📈as long as he doesn’t blow out his arm, he should be strong next year. Remember this is house money in the long run. 🎉😊
A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH. 😊😊😊😊😊
2 in the pink one in the stink!
Take the $$$ and run
Nice deal but be aware of the sophomore jinx
Obviously shoulda sold it private party for $20k and the $5k card, but you’re up $12k w/ more to be made. Not bad. Auction would have gashed you in fees
Should have just sold it at 20K because he's probably not going to have a good career going forward especially playing for the Pirates. Only reason people are so high on him is because he's dating Livvy Dunne.
LETS GO METS!!
👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Peds, if you ever want to catch a Skenes bump day at PNC, let me know. Separately, hope you're going to the National. Hit me up.
Also, great move on the Skenes. Holding too long on any pitcher has its risks. Congrats again!
Should have taken that $20k offer…
Put it on golden should fetch a little more
Should have taken the 25k overall deal that was stupid lol
I would have taken the $20k
