Full transparency, I flip cards...ALOT. I use the funds for “real life” stuff. I love the game and the hobby, but I love my family more. Can’t afford to hold stuff too long, but there are a few things I have a difficult time parting with.
Zion is that one guy that I’m super hesitant to sell at CURRENT prices (well a couple others I have hunches about, but Zion is head and shoulders above the rest at the top of that list).
His scoring stats are going to be bananas and he’s just scratching the surface of his potential. He is on a below average team that does absolutely nothing to enhance his ability, and I don’t think New Orleans can afford to hold his star power long term. I don’t want to be reading the breaking news on ESPN that he’s been traded to (fill in the blank large market team/contender) and have already unloaded all of my Zion stash (however meager it may be haha).
FWIW, I don’t think his mass produced base cards are where it’s at long term so I wouldn’t sweat the crazy fluctuations in those too much. We know the kind of money that gets invested in those. SP’s, serial numbered, and autos are where it’s at. His high end stuff is already outperforming his lower end stuff by leaps and bounds from a ratio perspective.
I have a hunch (and I’m not the only one by any means) that a lot of base stuff from recent years isn’t going to appreciate a great deal regardless of what number PSA puts on the slab. Base will see a reckoning, shorter print cards will break away even further from the pack.
