also in the card collecting world printing plates dont usually fetch anywhere close to regular 1/1 cards. often times they wont sell for more than 10% off what a regular 1/1 if the same card would do

Did you read this somewhere or has this been from your own experience.  Have you ever owned all four printing plates?  You may be correct, but as far as the #83 printing plate goes, I would strongly disagree with any general statement on card collecting. 

no i didnt read that somewhere lol, its just been that way for printing plates for sports cards
is the CC plate pack pulled or someone got them from topps somehow? if its pack pulled (at least to card collectors) its still a 1/1 but like i said in the post above, theyre worth considerably less than a cardboard 1/1

maybe someone on here would pay the high for it.. but the general card market wouldnt. just check ebay sold listings to see how much printing plates sell for

and all printing plates are 1/1's


Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  I threw away the book when it comes to the #83.  I will stand firm on my opinion that the 4 printing plates together is hands down the greatest achievement and by far the most valuable.  I would personally rather own all 4 plates than all the other 1/1 's, 1/5's 1/25"s and 1/50.  Personal opinions is what makes all of this such fun and enjoyment for me anyway. 

Again, these printing plates are not just an average printing plate. This cryptocurrency collectors market is pretty aggressive for cool things, especially 1 of 1’s and these plates would fetch far more than most of not all plates selling on eBay. They were pulled from packs and several sold at very low amounts at one point, but the market has grown 1000 x over for them since then. I would absolutely love to own one of these.
