My First Razor Metal Buy... Opinons?

I just came across this today and thought I would buy one. I have a lot of Razor Hosmer stuff including the /5 so I thought I would add. His average or homers hasn't been great yet. However, he has been a RBI machine. Anyone else buy one?
They were $20.00

/53

I picked up my first Razor Metal Auto's a couple weeks ago... (5) Jemile Weeks Blue Auto's for $10/pop. Seemed like a pretty solid price given his upside and production so far this season, and the print run was 53 I believe. Don't know too much about Hosmer but nice card!

Yeah I just hope Razor sends me a gradeable one... I saw Chris's Crow blue that graded a 9.5 and it looked sharp

Nice pick-up dude!

Thanks man

i also picked up, Brad HOlt Blue's, #ed to like 55 or something. Brad Holt is heating up, he's gonna be a mets star in a few years. GO HOLT!!

I like them, but they need more detail, including information on the backs and serial numbers.
My only Razor Metals on my dusty arse scanner.


I wanted to get more gold because I noticed they didn't all go via auction.
Was told only listed ones were available. That sucked. :|

Hosmer I think is a great pickup. I got one of the blues and one of the golds. I agree with the above poster that I do wish there was serial numbering and some information on the back.

ive sent many to be graded

the crow is the only gem thus far I have gotten

add about 25 to that from me and only one gem, which was a base card (not an auto)

these metals seem like a tough grade, and any 9.5 should carry a nice premium

I think the gold's (w/only 27 made) were a far better deal as they are ending for $23-$24ish range. I was thinking about picking up a blue at $20+s/h but I saw the gold's ending at only a few dollars more, which leads me to worry a bit about the hobbies outlook on these...I mean I understand Hosmer isn't performing up to expectation's, and this in itself could have been a key point in explaining the cause of these seemingly very low completed sv's on these "IF" it were only Hosmer who was selling at such a seemingly low SV. But I'm not just speaking of Hosmer here, as these are seemingly low across the board, which I believe is why so many think they're landing such great deals & they very well could be (let me be very clear that I am not trying to take anything away from those of you who are buying these, as I cannot fore-tell the future & cannot forecast the future SV's/worth of these card's! I am only stating what I have recently seen through completed auction listing's & then coming to a conclusion by comparing thier worth, or what they "should" be selling for, in comparison to thier UD USA counterpart's!)....
Either way, I guess for $20ish you really can't complain getting a SP'd Hosmer auto!

My local card shop owner would pay nicely for the Crow, because everyone in KC is wanting them now...

For a few bucks more getting the gold which is half the supply seemed like a better buy but as a future Royal, the blue fits well with teams colors

What were the blues selling for before you graded it?

Haha. I am glad I just learned that. A member here said he paid 25 for them directly from Razor, I knew that wasn't right...

Well once you do a little research just pm me
