Giannis isn't going down based on what Luka does. Plenty of room for both. I think we're in the territory where Giannis has become sorely undervalued. Disclosure: I have a small stockpile of Giannis, and an equally small stockpile of Luka.

Yeh, fair. LBJ in the discussion too.

Agree.

I also think there’s not an insignificant chance Giannis doesn’t extend with the Bucks. The bucks could’ve re-signed Brogdon but didn’t want to pay the tax. A absurd decision given Milwaukee are contenders. Giannis’ camp will be unhappy with that cheap decision by ownership.

If Giannis moves to a big market and starts winning rings, look out.

Had no idea raw silvers were starting to approach $400 with all the optic holo craze dominating the boards here.

When does this craze slow down?

Everything has gone up. Just that Optic has gone up the most over the past month.

Man I don't know.. Seeing what happened with Giannis prices over the last few years, nothing would shock me. Selfishly I hope the silver value keeps trending up because I was fortunate to pull it out of a single $11 cello pack. Don't think I plan on selling it anyways because I'm a fan, but it's always nice to own a high dollar card!

That's true. I don't follow value trends too closely, I was sitting here thinking it's still a $200 card raw. Nice surprise seeing the sold listings this morning. Lol

If Zion comes back and performs well, that should slow it down some. If he continues an MVP-contender trajectory, it won't slow. There are still good options out there that I don't think are overpriced. But the count is dwindling.

"If" he does go anywhere.....i would love to see him go to the Mavs.

If that were to happen look out! They would be pretty much unstoppable.

Imagine Giannis working the pick and roll with Luka?

Snapped this one up. Were a bunch of people looking at it and I think this will be $75+ dollars in no time, even as a non-sub grade BGS card.

Those in psa 10 are going up almost to $100 right now...

Take a look at the "sold buy It now" section, it's amazing the prices people are putting up and getting for both luka and trae.

Is there still room for them to grow? Everything seems to be going up daily, are you guys all still trying to grab some of these? And by "these" I mean more Luka's and Trae's

Mavs were the team I was thinking might be the favourite. Lakers or Clips might be the other.

I think the Optic cards likely appeal more to a lot of the collectors that are coming back into the hobby from the late 90s like me. I like their appeal a lot more than the Prizm cards. They have a much more classic look while still having the elegance of modern cards. I think it hits home for a lot of the older collectors that get a sour taste in their mouths from some of the other newer cards.

notfast · 11-06-2019, 04:28 PM

All the optic shock PSA 10's got bought up...seemed oddly cheap even though they aren't too too difficult to gem

robertscz · 11-06-2019, 04:30 PM

Are you guys still buyers at these prices?? Wondering how much higher both him and trae can go...

I picked up a few of the revolution cards the past few days including luka Chinese new year as well as trae Chinese emerald... Hoping these Take off like the rest of them!

Hmm, I do not disagree with this take. I jumped back into the hobby 2 years ago and Donruss Optic instantly appealed to me.

This is me. Completely agree.

I am still looking to buy.

I'm still a buyer on Luka, not sold on Trae due to him being on a garbage team.

The price discrepancy between Luka and Giannis or what Simmons stuff got to during his run makes me think there is a lot of room for growth, even this year.

RogerGodahell · 11-06-2019, 05:14 PM

It depends if you think he can maintain this years stats... or get even better?

If either of those 2 happen, the stratosphere is the limit and he is still under priced imo.

If he keeps increasing his averages then we're getting into crazy territory.

Where will the dust settle?

vamz · 11-06-2019, 05:17 PM

He’s starting year 2. He hasn’t peaked. Main risk is injury imo, not whether he’ll get better or not. And, he’s on a good franchise, so I trust the Mavs front office to put a good team around him.

ThoseBackPages · 11-06-2019, 05:19 PM

Luka was BORN during Dirks rookie season.

Crazy times
