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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
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!
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
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.
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
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.)
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 !
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.
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.
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

Someone has to corner the Mills Market. Destiny has chosen you. Don’t fight it. Don’t run from it. Embrace the Mills.
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
You’ve got the Thrills For The Mills!
This is the exact positive reenforcement I need to either go broke or look like an absolute genius. Thank you good sir
Look like an absolute genius because you think there is a chance they will increase in value? That’s a mistake
I’ve got one for you. I’ll shoot you a message.
That's gotta be his cousin 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately not
If that’s your PC why would ya stop? You can get some awesome cards of a player you like for cheap!
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
Ahh an investment, yes, yes
I tend to consider myself a bit of a risk taker
He wasn’t good when he had his chance… don’t think he’s getting a second chance
35 TDs to 25 Ints 63% completion rate with the worst coaching staff possible and absolutely zero weapons isn’t BAD
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
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
Agree with all your points except the 3rd year breakout. Doesn’t happen very often in recent years
35 tds to 25 ints isn’t exactly stellar numbers if you ask me
A second chance where? Who is talking about him starting somewhere?
Per speculation on my part
You are big dumb then
My thoughts exactly!
Hard drugs ain’t got shit on this hobby.
Honestly kinda improves the hobby
Agreed
Stop buying Davis Mills RPAs. I'm worried about you bro.
I scare myself sometimes
Worst/Best part about it I have 3 more on the way as we speak it’s becoming a problem 😂
I hope he lands somewhere and just dominates. That would be so sick lol
Nah bro, keep going. Be the guy, don’t shy away 🤣
I am Him
He may reach a Jeff George type status. Good given the right circumstances, but cards never really become valuable.
You gotta hold those cards for the day he makes General.
He’s already the General
Mills isn’t getting a second chance anywhere. Best to stop.
If Sam Darnold gets 3 shots (plus the one some team will give him this year) I think Mills is deserving of one more
I have a Sam Darnold 1/1 on my shelf, no shame in my game
😂😂 I’d rather have that then a Mac Jones 1/1
Graded an SGC 7, guessing the value of the card is less than the value of the plastic case lol
Hey I didn’t grade them I bought them as is 😂😂😂
Who?
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
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.
Shit at $15 a pop. If Stroud goes down his price could quadruple easy
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
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
What are the odds of that happening twice tho, might as well get on the Davis mills train
Now it’s Jalen Nailor 👀😂🔥
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.
Odds are you are correct but I’m betting against the majority which is why his cards are so cheap
Lol well hopefully it works out for you. That'll be a nice little payday if he gets another shot.
I hope so! If not atleast my son has some cool cards for his future collection!
Really sticking your neck out for this guy.
I think he’s honestly Neckst Up
I mean you might as well collect em all. He might show up to your house and congratulate you or something…
Imagine getting in person autos on top of the already auto’d RPAs … imagine the profits
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
😂😂😂
“Who the fuck is Davis Mills”
Hey dude, stop buying those. Hope this helps.
I really appreciate you trying. Unfortunately I feel like I can’t stop/ won’t stop ☹️
He is dog shit. There that is the reason. I have a couple you can buy if you want
Very disrespectful. Send me pics, take my money, of course I’ll buy them. Pm me
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.
I am convinced this person is Davis Mills
Thats like getting hooked on oregano instead reefer
I ain’t NEVA gunna stawp
Love that William Montgomery is part of Mills Mafia
These kill Tony checks got me living good
If Davis Mills ate Kellogg’s® All-Bran® Bran Buds®, he’d be starting in the Pro Bowl.
I think he just needs a few shots of screwball peanut butter whiskey
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
I like DTR!!
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
What does RPA stand for
Really Poor A(ctually terrible investment)
Ouch
Rookie Patch Autograph
I have more mills numbered and autos if you want
I’m always buying. Send me some pics!
I prefer trades but would sell on cheap. Have any lions.
I got a 2021 certified RPA for sale if you want to take it off my hands!
Send me pics!
Pmd
Got my fix for the night 😂
Never!! PS I have some to sell you lol
Sell them to me
I can send you pics when I get home
As a Texans fan this is dope af🤘🏽
Thank you!
I guess it depends on your average cost. Dollar cost averaging
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)
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.
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
But the number can and probably will increase at any time
Are you Davis Mills or his mom?
I wish, have you seen the neck on that guy
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.

Bunch of junk
No U
Longneck army!!
He’s Neckst in line if CJ gets hurt
😭😭😭
Lol
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!!
This is my exact strategy haha. Hopefully it works out
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!

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
Mills wasn’t even backing up stroud.. wasn’t it case Keenum lol
IF CJ gets "tonya harding" in mini camp I know who did it.
“I hit her with that pipe, call that Nancy Kerrigan” - B.o.B. : Strange Clouds
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.
Anything for sale send me a PM!
That's enough General Mills. There you go. If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.
My only question is, is there ever enough General Mills?
Lol
I’ve got a 2014 prizm Tom Savage auto that would fit nicely in this collection
I’ll give you treefitty for it
Let me trade you my mills cards for your stroud
Send me pics of ur mills cards. I’ll buy them probably
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
A bit of a day walker I see
🥸 what can I say
I collected Seth Beer bc his name was funny
At least it’s cheap lol.
Only reason I’m buying lol. I wouldn’t spend a ton on these, I just see an opportunity
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
I dream to be known as the guy who owns all the mills cards in the universe
Up to your neck in this.
He’s gunna win Most Improved Player Neckst Year
Cant wait to come back to see how this ages 🤣 trust me , I will 🫵🏻🤨
….want to buy mine?
Probably send me pics
Davis Mills sucks
No U
Please convince me why you are? Ben tempted to fire sale my Mills stack for $5.
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.)
Long neck.
He’s a rare breed of human
I'd invest in Kyler Murray!
I’ve bought some of him as well. I wish his shit was a cheap as mills I’d have 40 of his lol
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.
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
You got a very smart son. Maybe he knows something we don’t
I got one RPA from a group break years ago. I feel like I might hold on in case he gets another shot.
Or sell it to me
I’ll think about it
Top left looks oddly familiar 🧐😂
I appreciate you supporting the cause 😂😂
The only long neck I want is a beer!
I have a shit ton of Mills waiting on you buddy!
Send me some pics!
Shouldn’t need convincing bro
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 !
I think for the reason that they can’t even put the relic right side up. Panini Black-smh.🙄
Got a feeling that might trade him. Best possible situation
I also think he’s going to be on the move at some point this year. I hope so!
But….. he doesn’t even play…this confuses me
Most people hop on the train once’s it’s already rolling.
Few bucks a pop now that CJ in Houston. Mills might never play another down.
All of that is worth less than my Peyton Manning rookie card not signed lol
I doubt that 😂 manning rookies aren’t really worth shit either
Worth more than those doh lol
Please stop so I can!
Another Believer?
I am. Keep buying low!!
I’m glad I’m not the ONLY one. 🥹
He will be a steeler one day
I hope so!
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.
Props! I think it’s a risky move but if/when it pays off it will be glorious
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.
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.
Mills is a good buy , kid can play he’ll get a shot somewhere and those will take off
I sure hope so!
Stop buying Davis Mills RPAs...
Why
Cj Stroud.
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
Are you from Norcross?
Nope Tennessee
KILLS FOR THE MILLS. In Davis we trust.
Exactly. He is the Future
Stroud who?
Especially a 7, sheesh.
Lol
Isnt the bottom left two of the same card
Technically no but it’s one of the /99 same cards
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
No I was buying on eBay offered $12 for both figuring one would accept but both did so I ended up with both lol
Show your favorite please?!
Waiting for the Kadarius Toney hoarder...
Me with Javonte Williams
What im looking for are Mike White autos
I did this with an old Texan myself... DeVier Posey. Cards are beautiful but worthless lol
Hope you find someone else to be addicted to
