@ericwhiteback Either there are more than 20 or the boxes were loaded. Did they pull 10 White Sparkles of commons too?

Backyard Breaks posted yesterday that they hit 10 White Sparkle Wemby Prizm rookie cards in JUST 24 hours. This could very well be worth over $100,000 in Wemby cards… White Sparkle SSP's are not numbered but believed to have a print run of 20. Can you imagine pulling HALF of a total print run? 📸: @backyardbreaks_

@Chris_Hodltron @CamAllison21 @alpacavc I like the way you think. This was the best I could do with limited funds 😏

I like to sit back and think about interesting things that happen in Web3 Today I was wondering if I could make a rug from alpaca wool 🤔 Yes! You most certainly can

Explain this in NBA terms

@BeisbolCardBlog @Topps @cruz22 His 97 Bowman Chrome RC was on fire. One of many can’t miss prospects.

@darrenrovell @ENaierman Speculation, not investing. Pandemic bubble. It’s a 2017 card, did the card have a recorded sale before the pandemic? If it did, it would have been in the 5 figures.

Sales prices for this card November 2021: $456,000 February 2023: $312,000 February 2024: $276,000 Patrick Mahomes won 3 of the last 5 Super Bowls. If there’s ever a card to say, “Card investing isn’t the same as playing fantasy, this is it.” (H/T @ENaierman)

@MTTrading2 Sounds like a shill bidders paradise and some people actually use that site for comps.

1,400 cards in the Alt liquid auction that ended last week. 845 "paid" according to them, again implying 40% unsold/unpaid. Similar to the 2/1 auction from 2 weeks prior (x.com/MTTrading2/sta…) Payment for the Kawhi Gold Prizm (x.com/MTTrading2/sta…) remains "pending". Perhaps that Alt value scared them off

@SkipSandersonn @CardPurchaser It’s a gimmick but it could be a budget option if you want a Prizm type product? I saw Regular prizm boxes at $900 or something.

Last year, Monopoly Prizm got crazy hype and then died a quick death when people realized overproduction, gimmick, etc... Will history repeat itself? Asking because I'm about to buy a bunch and really don't want to, but... @CardPurchaser

@BradshawGraphic If you want to go down that path, Ask Kurt’s card care. He’s on YouTube and IG.

Any suggestions on card cleaning or card cleaning places? Love you hobby family!! #thehobby

BREAKING: Ja Morant is expected to return from suspension tomorrow vs. the Pelicans, per @ShamsCharania. 12 BACK. 🔥

@MTTrading2 There are only 80 autos and the non autographed base card is 1:10 cases. Most collectors will be unable to own even the base card.

Pokémon seems to be doing something right. So option B seems reasonable, though I could understand the sports card investor not enjoying that scenario. I’m not sure I believe this is reflective of hobby growth/new collectors.

@WatchTheBreaks Buying a $10k card and he seems clueless On who he is dealing with. Don’t use ALT. Does he know about their history? Does he not know PWCC’s past? Don’t use credit cards for investments. Only thing he got right is PWCC needs to record that as paid for.

Speaking of baseball cards… read this story from HappyCardCollector on Instagram - curious whose side you think is right here?

@WallStreetSilv More importantly the middle class is leaving. The ones that work and spend money.

California squeezed the rich so hard that they popped all the way to Texas. Only 200,000 taxpayers in California (of 39 million population) now fund 1/2 of the state budget. Over 1 million taxpayers ran away from California last year, fleeing to states with a bit more common sense. California is replacing those taxpayers with illegal fake refugees that will be a constant drain on state resources. Enjoy your virtue signaling in California.🤣

@OldTownCards @michaelrubin Prediction - Rubin and Fanatics will shrink the card market.

Hey @michaelrubin - I’ve spent the last 2 days absolutely shitting on your Brady campaign. But something I like to live by is not saying something sucks without having ideas of my own. So instead of gimmicks that bring football players into baseball, here’s what I’d recommend: One of the coolest things I think your team has done since taking over Topps has been the 1/1 rookie debut patch. Do more stuff like that. You already have Topps Now cards that commemorate moments. Get relics/game worn/used from big moments and games. Insert them into packs as patch autos or mem autos. Put on the back of the card what moment they came from instead of “this relic is not from any specific game/season/ or event” you could have: “This piece of glove is from a game where Ohtani went 2/4 and also recorded 9k’s on 8/27/23” You’re focused on gimmicks but gimmicks don’t scale. They’re flashes in the pan that are gonna fade. Establish more traditions. The 1/1 rookie debut patch was a great addition. Do more stuff that can scale and get collectors excited on an ongoing basis. One of the things about cards is that people like tradition. Idgaf about a Brady Bowman 1st or a Babe Ruth Bowman 1st. It’s garbage. Junk. Nonsense. I know you like flexing that you know Brady but collectors don’t care about that. Actually innovate the hobby and have your gimmicks pop up occasionally for fun. I think if there was other innovation and the Brady thing was “one of many” things you were doing then it would be more fun to me. Instead it seems this is the best you’ve got.

@AverageScott @CardPurchaser You won’t get anywhere with this guy. If you told him a price he’d say how high you are and then he will still not make an offer. He seems to think you are on ebay to do charity work.

*Serious Collectors Only* How much of a discount do you get on eBay for being a serious collector? It must be a lot, I asked this guy to send an offer and instead I got scolded for not being as serious as him. Strange way to negotiate. @CardPurchaser

@ShamsCharania Hang up those summer league banners too
