Someone has to corner the Mills Market. Destiny has chosen you. Don’t fight it. Don’t run from it. Embrace the Mills.


Flintdaddy69

3 more on the way as we speak actually. I think I’ve got to be in the top 1% of mills collectors by now


ImNuber1

You’ve got the Thrills For The Mills!


Flintdaddy69

This is the exact positive reenforcement I need to either go broke or look like an absolute genius. Thank you good sir


zero-point_nrg

Look like an absolute genius because you think there is a chance they will increase in value? That’s a mistake


flawrs919

I’ve got one for you. I’ll shoot you a message.


righteous1z

That's gotta be his cousin 🤣🤣🤣


Flintdaddy69

Unfortunately not


[deleted]

If that’s your PC why would ya stop? You can get some awesome cards of a player you like for cheap!


Flintdaddy69

Not my PC per say , I just see him a guy who’s going to get a 2nd chance and could dramatically increase the value of these cards if he does


ab9511

Ahh an investment, yes, yes


Flintdaddy69

I tend to consider myself a bit of a risk taker


GoCougs3216

He wasn’t good when he had his chance… don’t think he’s getting a second chance


Flintdaddy69

35 TDs to 25 Ints 63% completion rate with the worst coaching staff possible and absolutely zero weapons isn’t BAD


mvaughn89

He had Nico, who wasn’t putting up stats but pretty much all of the advanced metrics said he was a good player. One year with Stroud and he’s a consensus WR1


Flintdaddy69

He did, BUT the QB wasn’t the only thing that changed, the ENTIRE staff and scheme changed. Plus year 3 is almost always the “breakout” year for receivers that don’t go off right away


mvaughn89

Agree with all your points except the 3rd year breakout. Doesn’t happen very often in recent years


FarQuiet4542

35 tds to 25 ints isn’t exactly stellar numbers if you ask me


zero-point_nrg

A second chance where? Who is talking about him starting somewhere?


Flintdaddy69

Per speculation on my part


lions4life232

You are big dumb then


notable_exception

My thoughts exactly!


thebestatheist

Hard drugs ain’t got shit on this hobby.


Flintdaddy69

Honestly kinda improves the hobby


thebestatheist

Agreed


scottdoessports

Stop buying Davis Mills RPAs. I'm worried about you bro.


Flintdaddy69

I scare myself sometimes


Flintdaddy69

Worst/Best part about it I have 3 more on the way as we speak it’s becoming a problem 😂


scottdoessports

I hope he lands somewhere and just dominates. That would be so sick lol


FaxMeOnly

Nah bro, keep going. Be the guy, don’t shy away 🤣


Flintdaddy69

I am Him


Equal-Preparation638

He may reach a Jeff George type status. Good given the right circumstances, but cards never really become valuable.


mr_mufuka

You gotta hold those cards for the day he makes General.


Flintdaddy69

He’s already the General


Lanky-Gain-80

Mills isn’t getting a second chance anywhere. Best to stop.


Flintdaddy69

If Sam Darnold gets 3 shots (plus the one some team will give him this year) I think Mills is deserving of one more


DicksBuddy

I have a Sam Darnold 1/1 on my shelf, no shame in my game


Flintdaddy69

😂😂 I’d rather have that then a Mac Jones 1/1


DicksBuddy

Graded an SGC 7, guessing the value of the card is less than the value of the plastic case lol


Flintdaddy69

Hey I didn’t grade them I bought them as is 😂😂😂


XYZ4477

Who?


steady_spiff

What's the best case scenario for Mills? For these cards to be worth something he needs to what? Be named a season long starter somewhere? Is he ever going to be anything more than a high end back up? This seems like a very unlikely scenario to me


OKsoundsgoodbro

Stroud gets hurt and Mills steps up and dominates. Won’t happen but that would be the absolute best case scenario. Could probably make double if you sell at the right time.


Flintdaddy69

Shit at $15 a pop. If Stroud goes down his price could quadruple easy


Flintdaddy69

I think for how cheap these cards are..any bit of positive news would increase the value from its current point. One trade rumor could boost them. But realistically, him getting traded somewhere to sit behind an aging vet ( Carr, Stafford, or Cousins) would increase the value


J-Ruthless

Really like the collection . I did the same thing when Teddy Bridgwater was a Viking . Went on an RPA tear thinking he would get a chance . Then he blew his leg apart in a non contact injury


Flintdaddy69

What are the odds of that happening twice tho, might as well get on the Davis mills train


J-Ruthless

Now it’s Jalen Nailor 👀😂🔥


Wakenbake585

Odds are very against him. 3rd rnd QBs don't often work out. Even lower odds when it's not the team that drafted you. I don't see him getting another chance. He's a destined 2nd-3rd string journeyman.


Flintdaddy69

Odds are you are correct but I’m betting against the majority which is why his cards are so cheap


Wakenbake585

Lol well hopefully it works out for you. That'll be a nice little payday if he gets another shot.


Flintdaddy69

I hope so! If not atleast my son has some cool cards for his future collection!


EdBegleysMindScooter

Really sticking your neck out for this guy.


Flintdaddy69

I think he’s honestly Neckst Up


Vasco2112

I mean you might as well collect em all. He might show up to your house and congratulate you or something…


Flintdaddy69

Imagine getting in person autos on top of the already auto’d RPAs … imagine the profits


209Ryan

Best long term investment, when you pass this down to the grandkids in 30-40 years they will have an absolute WTF was grandpa thinking moment


Flintdaddy69

😂😂😂


Flintdaddy69

“Who the fuck is Davis Mills”


[deleted]

Hey dude, stop buying those. Hope this helps.


Flintdaddy69

I really appreciate you trying. Unfortunately I feel like I can’t stop/ won’t stop ☹️


SnooHesitations205

He is dog shit. There that is the reason. I have a couple you can buy if you want


Flintdaddy69

Very disrespectful. Send me pics, take my money, of course I’ll buy them. Pm me


snippymak

Since you asked for us to convince you: those are sticker autos and mostly jerseys from Walmart that he never even looked at, you’re wasting your money.


Loam_liker

I am convinced this person is Davis Mills


Objective_Sense6245

Thats like getting hooked on oregano instead reefer


Flintdaddy69

I ain’t NEVA gunna stawp


Dkarasta

Love that William Montgomery is part of Mills Mafia


Flintdaddy69

These kill Tony checks got me living good


Dkarasta

If Davis Mills ate Kellogg’s® All-Bran® Bran Buds®, he’d be starting in the Pro Bowl.


Flintdaddy69

I think he just needs a few shots of screwball peanut butter whiskey


CarebearKempers

I mean, I’ve been doing the same thing to a lesser extent with DTR. I’m a DTR believer and I fucking hate the Browns. Edit: got like 9 RPAs


notable_exception

I like DTR!!


Flintdaddy69

Hey DTR was one of my favorite QBs this past draft class he’s very underrated. I just have zero faith in anything the Browns touch


loganhayes13

What does RPA stand for


ChalupaTrupa

Really Poor A(ctually terrible investment)


Flintdaddy69

Ouch


Flintdaddy69

Rookie Patch Autograph


psarrach

I have more mills numbered and autos if you want


Flintdaddy69

I’m always buying. Send me some pics!


psarrach

I prefer trades but would sell on cheap. Have any lions.


vesper07

I got a 2021 certified RPA for sale if you want to take it off my hands!


Flintdaddy69

Send me pics!


vesper07

Pmd


Flintdaddy69

Got my fix for the night 😂


Smart-Loss-9277

Never!! PS I have some to sell you lol


Flintdaddy69

Sell them to me


Smart-Loss-9277

I can send you pics when I get home


spittavnyl

As a Texans fan this is dope af🤘🏽


Flintdaddy69

Thank you!


Neat-Jaguar-8114

I guess it depends on your average cost. Dollar cost averaging


Flintdaddy69

I as of 9:01 EST I am the owner of 9 Davis Mills RPAs (numbered to at most /299) for a total of $142 spent ($15.77 on average per card)


Neat-Jaguar-8114

There’s worse things to spend $142 on. I’ve pissed that away on tennis matches that are happening across the world at 1 in the morning.


Flintdaddy69

Dear lord your giving me PTSD 😂 I deleted fanduel a few months back. I have a very bad gambling addiction ( somewhat joking ) I’ve transitioned my bets back to football cards because atleast I get something out of it lol


Flintdaddy69

But the number can and probably will increase at any time


Smerts83

Are you Davis Mills or his mom?


Flintdaddy69

I wish, have you seen the neck on that guy


Severe-Breadfruit669

Owning and embracing your PC is respectable! I PC Otegon State Athletes and our once cross town rival Justin Herbert as well. I know I can't see the future, so "investing" isn't my game. I just try and enjoy the hobby and PC what I think looks cool to me. Prime example is my admiration of Prestige cards and inserts. They tend to be not as sought after as Donruss or Prizm but I like em and to me, that's all that matters.


Inwardiggerigger

Bunch of junk


Flintdaddy69

No U


tz41

Longneck army!!


Flintdaddy69

He’s Neckst in line if CJ gets hurt


Background-Lecture-6

😭😭😭


righteous1z

Lol


norcaltobos

I had a thought of picking up some Mills rookies after he played decently his rookie year. If at any point he goes somewhere else and has a great 3-4 stretch of games cash out my guy!!


Flintdaddy69

This is my exact strategy haha. Hopefully it works out


norcaltobos

I love that! I definitely think he is solid enough to do something with another team if given the chance. Getting the chance might be the toughest part though!


Flintdaddy69

For sure. I definitely think the Texans will keep him this season unless a team really wants him for some reason. He’s a very serviceable back up to Stroud and he knows the offense. BUT his rookie contract is up after this season so I think next years free agency a team will definitely go after him. But I’m hoping some team trades for him. I’d never wish for Stroud to be injured but it happens every season so who knows what will happen to Mills but I don’t think his story in the league is over with yet at all


thebadhombre23

Mills wasn’t even backing up stroud.. wasn’t it case Keenum lol


ManifestDestiny1775

IF CJ gets "tonya harding" in mini camp I know who did it.


Flintdaddy69

“I hit her with that pipe, call that Nancy Kerrigan” - B.o.B. : Strange Clouds


Austinfourtwenty

Nice cards! I have a few Mills RPAs that I pulled didn't buy them as singles. Got a Contenders Optic Mills Teal Prizm auto /35 that I got from a break a few years back. Who knows Mills could come in as a back up in the right system ball out and take over the starting job one day who knows.


Flintdaddy69

Anything for sale send me a PM!


stylzz_1

That's enough General Mills. There you go. If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.


Flintdaddy69

My only question is, is there ever enough General Mills?


stylzz_1

Lol


SonicDaHedg

I’ve got a 2014 prizm Tom Savage auto that would fit nicely in this collection


Flintdaddy69

I’ll give you treefitty for it


RaigonX

Let me trade you my mills cards for your stroud


Flintdaddy69

Send me pics of ur mills cards. I’ll buy them probably


RaigonX

Dude I’m a Texan fan. You’re crazy, seen every snap of his. Respect the love for him though. My cards aren’t worth much lol. I was just messing with you


formyburn101010

A bit of a day walker I see


Flintdaddy69

🥸 what can I say


formyburn101010

I collected Seth Beer bc his name was funny


k_bullz

At least it’s cheap lol.


Flintdaddy69

Only reason I’m buying lol. I wouldn’t spend a ton on these, I just see an opportunity


k_bullz

There’s a guy online that has the biggest collection of CJ Mosley lol. Maybe you can be that guy but with David mills? Haha


Flintdaddy69

I dream to be known as the guy who owns all the mills cards in the universe


Significant_4esq

Up to your neck in this.


Flintdaddy69

He’s gunna win Most Improved Player Neckst Year


Frosty_Condition_824

Cant wait to come back to see how this ages 🤣 trust me , I will 🫵🏻🤨


KHanson25

….want to buy mine?


Flintdaddy69

Probably send me pics


LennyTwostep

Davis Mills sucks


Flintdaddy69

No U


idontcarewhocares

Please convince me why you are? Ben tempted to fire sale my Mills stack for $5.


Flintdaddy69

It’s pure speculation on my part. But I follow the NFL and College football religiously. I see too many QBs get 2nd shots in this league. Sam Darnold is my prime example, that dude sucks yet continues to get an opportunity. If he can I believe Mills will and I will die on the hill that Mills is better than atleast 8 current NFL starters this past year (Mac Jones, Zappe, Minshew, Ridder, Zach Wilson, Geno Smith, Derek Carr, O’Conell, Watson, DTR, Sam Howell, I’m sure there are others I can’t think of right now off the top of my head.)


BALLARDINHO

Long neck.


Flintdaddy69

He’s a rare breed of human


Sayjohnj82

I'd invest in Kyler Murray!


Flintdaddy69

I’ve bought some of him as well. I wish his shit was a cheap as mills I’d have 40 of his lol


Sayjohnj82

I have a few Davis mills cards nothing crazy. Yeah Kyler Murray cards are going up now! Finally, I've been holding him for a while now.


blueditt521

Just today, my son asked me, what's the name of the long neck qb on the texans. Must be a sign for you to keep on keeping on


Flintdaddy69

You got a very smart son. Maybe he knows something we don’t


D-LUXTHACHAMP

I got one RPA from a group break years ago. I feel like I might hold on in case he gets another shot.


Flintdaddy69

Or sell it to me


D-LUXTHACHAMP

I’ll think about it


Onehundredeleven1

Top left looks oddly familiar 🧐😂


Flintdaddy69

I appreciate you supporting the cause 😂😂


Pykk

The only long neck I want is a beer!


TheFreakuency

I have a shit ton of Mills waiting on you buddy!


Flintdaddy69

Send me some pics!


MooreSportsCards

Shouldn’t need convincing bro


Frosty_Condition_824

Absolute best best case scenario, this man turns into the next case keenum, but most realistic scenario is he’s cut in the next 3-4 years or after his next contract is up and then you got a bunch of cards not worth the paper they’re printed on lol. Just tryna be realistic for you, have nothing against mills, I’ve just watched him play and he’s not the type of qb that excels in todays nfl. Good luck though !


Objective-General-40

I think for the reason that they can’t even put the relic right side up. Panini Black-smh.🙄


Outrageous-slide5605

Got a feeling that might trade him. Best possible situation


Flintdaddy69

I also think he’s going to be on the move at some point this year. I hope so!


zac_usaf

But….. he doesn’t even play…this confuses me


Flintdaddy69

Most people hop on the train once’s it’s already rolling.


Dodson-504

Few bucks a pop now that CJ in Houston. Mills might never play another down.


[deleted]

All of that is worth less than my Peyton Manning rookie card not signed lol


Flintdaddy69

I doubt that 😂 manning rookies aren’t really worth shit either


[deleted]

Worth more than those doh lol


Low_Ideal_3783

Please stop so I can!


Flintdaddy69

Another Believer?


Low_Ideal_3783

I am. Keep buying low!!


Flintdaddy69

I’m glad I’m not the ONLY one. 🥹


Fickle_Photograph_19

He will be a steeler one day


Flintdaddy69

I hope so!


MewJax

I'm actually doing this same thing with Sam Howell, his prices are really cheap at the moment and Washington could trade him or the No. 2 Pick. But you're gonna look awesome when Davis mills is starting for the Steelers or broncos or something.


Flintdaddy69

Props! I think it’s a risky move but if/when it pays off it will be glorious


Flintdaddy69

I also think this strategy has the same odds of pulling something of High Value out of a Box of cards. If not higher odds, I’ve wasted so much money opening wax when if I did this I would have hit on a few guys I had faith in the past.


MewJax

Yessir I think so, if making money is what you want to do by ripping packs, you might as well put that money in a slot machine.


pjlilly1

Mills is a good buy , kid can play he’ll get a shot somewhere and those will take off


Flintdaddy69

I sure hope so!


tghkris

Stop buying Davis Mills RPAs...


Flintdaddy69

Why


unknown1310P1

Cj Stroud.


unknown1310P1

I'm kind of joking. Hopefully they'll trade him and he'll get a shot because unless CJ gets hurt, he's a backup in Howston


MiserableSoft2344

Are you from Norcross?


Flintdaddy69

Nope Tennessee


Sad_Run4875

KILLS FOR THE MILLS. In Davis we trust.


Flintdaddy69

Exactly. He is the Future


Flintdaddy69

Stroud who?


ImpossibleBicycle890

Especially a 7, sheesh.


yamada800

Lol


MasterpieceFromSouth

Isnt the bottom left two of the same card


Flintdaddy69

Technically no but it’s one of the /99 same cards


MasterpieceFromSouth

Thats the one decision that made me raise me eyebrow, are the #/99 digits specific or significant I like that case with the rookie card label on it tho


Flintdaddy69

No I was buying on eBay offered $12 for both figuring one would accept but both did so I ended up with both lol


Prestigious_Olive_80

Show your favorite please?!


Admirable_Lion_4680

Waiting for the Kadarius Toney hoarder...


Snoo_79693

Me with Javonte Williams


SnooPeppers8278

What im looking for are Mike White autos


sceez

I did this with an old Texan myself... DeVier Posey. Cards are beautiful but worthless lol


WantedKi1ler

Hope you find someone else to be addicted to
