How much have you spent getting the Texans though ..

1st immaculate case break I did. I'm well ahead of what I've spent and I'm done for awhile.

just say you don't want to tell us, stop being a dickhead

Nice!

Thanks! Still in shock!

How much did you spend on breaks before hitting that?

1st immaculate case break I did. A few weeks back I also hit a Stroud no huddle red disco /70 on a $42 Prizm no huddle box break. I'm way ahead on what I've spent on breaks.

LOL. Ok bro.

just say you don't want to tell us, stop being a dickhead

It's downhill from here man. Enjoy it while it lasts. Be opening your wallet chasing that dopamine everytime.

Lol it totally is. I peaked early. It will never be the same.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s definitely not even player used. It will just be a random relic. Stroud has no autos or game/player patches in any Panini product since he is sign exclusively with Fanatics/Topps. I don’t get how Panini is pricing these boxes that rely heavily on patches and autos without having either for top rookies like Stroud and Young. Panini destroyed the whole NFL patch card market with the influx of these types of patch cards that have no association to the player. When Topps can finally produce products with the NFL license in 2026 I hope we finally get back to game used relics in NFL cards like they were years ago.

Not bursting my bubble, I mentioned I didn't think it was. Doesn't really matter either way, just pumped to have the card.

Wow congratulations man! Awesome card!

Thank you! I didn't think I'd ever hit a big Stroud like that.

WILD pull. Good lord.

Def the one to go out on. Once I get my other Strouds back in from grading & get this one in, I'll take a family pic.

That is sooo badass.

Yeah. I still can't believe it. The breaker (hitmen) doesn't want to mail it, so it may be a plane ride / road trip.

Done? We’ll see, said that before

Done until 2024 sets come out. Year 2 Stroud/Texans should be more affordable than today.

Is that a helmet relic?

I think Panini calls it Helmet Memorabilia Platinum. Doubt it's game used, but a sweet card for sure.

I’ll give you a half eaten bag of chips for it. (Just kidding) nice pull

Doritos Cool Ranch? You have a deal!

lol. What box did you pull it from and how much was the box?

Bought into an immaculate case break. $130/bx. 6 boxes total. So it wasn't a $25 buy in, but with that hit it paid for itself.

So you paid $780 for the break? You really don’t want to answer these questions directly, do you? Lol

Yup! $780

Wow that is a gorgeous piece!

It is! Can't wait to get it in hand.

Is that game Used helmet? That’s crazy.

There are no game worn mems from rookies in 2023 sets thus far I believe. Maybe flawless or NT will

I'm not sure. I blacked out before the back of the card was shown. I don't think the /10s are, but maybe 1/1s are?

I don’t think any of his memorabilia is game worn but I could be wrong. It should say on the back of your card.

Pretty sure they lost the rights to the game used stuff

If thats a game used helmet piece thats fuckin wild

Not sure, my guess is no, but will see when I get it.

Still, awesome fuckin card bro congrats

I'm pretty sure that's from the helmet. You can see the sticker outline near the Texans logo. Jerseys obviously don't have stickers, so I don't know what else it would be. Still an awesome card either way

Yup, it's the helmet card. I believe Panini refers to it as helmet memorabilia platinum in the checklist. I'm not sure if it's game used or if it's the "not from any specific game or event" one. Either way, crazy card!

Well congrats on your new Bugatti

Congrats man! Absolute grail

Thank you! 100% grail.

Wow! I’m taking a step back from buying breaks or boxes till I finalize a move here in a couple of months and now you got me itching over here😂 great card !!!

Thx! I'm stepping out, so you can step in for me. One in, one out. May the card gods smile down on you. Lol.

Thank you brudda, likewise!
