Some Higher-End Rafaelas (Plus a Wong)

I keep saying I am not going to super-collect Rafaela.  I maintain that that is true, but I have been getting a bit more into the higher-end stuff lately.  Now, I am not going to spend $100+ for any cards.  I declined to do so on what would have been a 1/1 over the weekend.  At least for the time being.  So, I have had some restraint.  Just not enough.

1.  2024 Topps Gilded Collection.  A single box of five cards from this set runs over $1,000.00.  So even base cards are pricey.

2.  2025 Topps Chrome Sepia Refractor Connor Wong.  Yes, I am continuing to grab Wong cards.  He appeared in this year's Topps Chrome.  Rafaela did not.

3.  2024 Topps Holiday Silver Glitter.

4.  2024 Donruss Blue.

5.  2024 Topps Chrome Raywave Refractor.

6.  2024 Topps Archives Yellow Foilboard.  This and the Raywave came in a lot together.  I still try to grab those when I can.

7.  2023 Bowman Sapphire Purple.  These are always very attractive cards.

8.  2024 Topps Chrome Update Sapphire Selections Gold.  These are extremely hard to find.  I don't have any of the base or parallels.  I should grab those.

9.  2024 Topps Heritage Real One Autographs.  I said quite some time ago that the Real One Autographs are some of my favorites.  I prefer the ones from players in the sets that Heritage is paying tribute to, but I will grab the current players occasionally too.  I definitely wanted the Rafaela.

    1. Gotta have deep pockets and I can't imagine getting your money's worth from it.
