🚨Took me 6 years to complete this! All 17 original NES titles from 1985. Video games 🎮 are incredibly fun to collect. Extremely low populations exist out there. Now onto completing the first 30 titles (only Donkey Kong Jr. Math remains) 🚨 🤓

Everyone talks about million-dollar cards, coins, and comics—but they are only a small part of the story. What really matters is the depth of the market: how many $1K or $10K items exist and trade consistently. That’s where the real activity—and insight—lives. Yet that’s rarely part of the conversation. ✌🏻

@cllctMedia @GoldinCo @Will__Stern is the man for this 🕺

BREAKING: @GoldinCo is embarking on a nationwide search to find the best new host for its eBay live programming. Participants are invited to submit an audition video explaining why they want to host and what makes them the right fit. Do you think you have what it takes?

@web4O @BourbonBarANKI Yeah you do, it’s the best

@NationMffl I trashed a team that had just made it to the NBA, executed the dumbest trade in the history of sports. Come work for me!

Patrick Dumont’s “wish list” of potential executives to hire as the Dallas Mavericks next GM: - Sam Presti - Brad Stevens - Tim Connelly - Koby Altman (via si.com/nba/chris-mann…)

@NationMffl If Kidd was in on that trade, he needs to go.

Jason Kidd on the Luka trade and Mark Cuban’s recents comments: “When are we going to move on? … We have to move forward. We're focused on the present and the future and we've got an incredible opportunity to build.” Kidd also mentioned to Townsend he called Cuban after his comments on the Intersections podcast.

@web4O @OnRallyRd Saw this cute set just recently in Tokyo 🇯🇵 . Love Beach Daytonas! 🤓

@crisbier @OnRallyRd hunting a daytona beach in pink as my next white gold watch

@web4O @OnRallyRd You should! The Smurf seems cheap at $35k too…white gold watch 👍🏻

@crisbier @OnRallyRd Tbh- might submit buyout offers at current MV- some gems there. great tip

There are good opportunities on @OnRallyRd, their watches for one are all trading at strong buy levels imo. Users may not realize that gold doubling up over the last 18 months had a significant impact on not only gold but all watches⌚️ I would gladly buy all of these outright at current market caps. Gold GMT for under $30k! Good luck finding one out there…✌🏻

@cllctMedia My partner Jim bought the first one ever auctioned decades ago I believe for $50k and split it with someone…🤓

Warren Buffett is reviving his famed charity lunch in 2026. This time, he’s partnering with Steph and Ayesha Curry to benefit the Glide Foundation and the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. The last charity lunch auction in 2022 raised a record-breaking $19 million.

The real question is - Why? Why did you sell the Mavs to douche bags? Thats the only question that will matter to Mavs fans for the long stretch: Why? Why go from a beloved billionaire owner who now will mostly be remembered for selling the team resulting in the most idiotic and destructive trade in history of sports. Until we hear that answer Mark, no fan is interested in what else you have to say. Mavs fans anyways…you blew it my man!

The real question is - what options are available to build a winning team that has a chance to win a championship ? The issue isn’t draft odds. In today’s system the worst 3 records have about an 86 pct chance of not getting the top pick. Then you have to multiple that by the odds that any given draft has at least one generational player. 1984, 2003 don’t come around very often. A team can do all it can to have the worst record and if the draft is awful, they did nothing to impact their chances of turning around their team. Every team knows this. Where teams get the most optionally with rebuilds is from collecting draft picks. Once you realize the team you built isn’t good enough or your best players don’t want to stay , you trade your best players. ( see OKC/clippers Celtics/ Nets, and others attempting it the last couple years ) Once you have some picks and no great players, the best way to collect draft picks these days is to stay below the cap. The best way to stay below the cap is to sign players that are very inexpensive or are on over paid short term contracts with non guaranteed elements to make them more trade-able and to allow you to reach the required salary floor. Those contracts are more trade-able to collect bad last year contracts that come with attached picks. And of course retaining cap room. Look at the teams that started the season with the most cap room. Those that created the most cap room during the season. And those that are chasing the top pick. If they didn’t already trade the pick, they match pretty closely. That’s all because of the economics of the nba. A good player on a rookie contract is the most valuable asset in the nba. A franchise player on a rookie deal is the holy grail. But getting a great player on a rookie contract is as much luck as science. You need as many draft picks as you can get in hopes that more than one clicks, and while they are on a rookie contract, you have cap room or trading resources to add the player(s) you need. Bottom line, accumulating draft picks is the best path to building a contender. Staying bad is less about winning the lottery than it is about doing all you can to accumulate those picks. Some ideas 1. Stop allowing teams to accumulate 1sts or trade so many 1sts. 2. Don’t allow players released after the trade deadline, that make more than the MLE , to be picked up and play in the playoffs ( keeps better last year players on worse teams ). 3. Only allow teams to use cap room 2 years in a row. Forces teams to try to get better sooner. 4. Allow old CBA trade rules to apply to MLE or more contracts signed under the old CBA. These will require the players to approve. So probably difficult to make happen. And finally. The one exception that proves these rules ? Dumb ass trades. If you can get another team to be stupid, none of the above matters. But you can’t count on them. Trading down to get Dirk doesn’t happen often !

@DylanDittrich Having a market cap of $ X has much to do with value of the stock and little to do with the actual value of the business as 95%% of stock buyers have no clue what they are doing…

An insane fall from Patagonia-vest-wearing grace for Allbirds. Ultimately the difference between a hit product and a successful brand.

@alexisohanian Retailers in the 1990’s loved their stickers…😅

This just landed in my Alt vault. Lemme know if you have a 95+

Thank goodness Chris Ivy thought coins were boring! 😅😅

@OnRallyRd @OSsportscards This also misses a big point which is price differential between issue and current value. A sports or TCG originally cost pennies, a Star Wars toy $1.99, a video game 29.99. A 1967 Ferrari was probably $30k originally?

@OSsportscards PSA 8 Wagner would bring a lot of groups and ultra high net worth individuals out of hiding…

Cards have a long way..

As competitors go in and out of video games, we continue to expand into the category. Our June auction is going to be monstrous too 🤓 🎮

These just happened 🤩 @HeritageAuction

@the27guy 💯

Almost spit out my drink when I read this. I’m team Nat here.

When I first heard about NBA top shots, it truly sounded like one of the most ridiculous concepts I’ve ever heard 🤷‍♂️
