Suddenly these are $400-450-$500, and the dozens or hundreds that he accumulated in the last 6 months are flipped for the easiest profit of his life.

Bingo!

Semi-fixed that for you.

Can't hate on ol' Gary though. He's a hustler and embodies the American capitalistic mindset. Plus he's slightly more tolerable than Vegas Handbag Dave.

Get that money, playboi.

No HOF announcement, larger TV presence.... seems like an odd move and maybe it is his version of a canary in a coal mine.

I've been wondering when this would happen. He can pump up current guys he already has while scooping up retired stars. Then he can say Hakeem, a two time champ, MVP, etc. is undervalued in comparison and should be worth more. He could do that with a bunch of guys, from Duncan to even Kobe.

He's PUMPING Optic & 2012 Prizm live on Instagram.

just started watching:

-he said he bought 600 Luka Hoops PSA 10 rookies

-he's also buying "Topps regular" of Durant, LeBron, and Curry (and also bought 11 LeBron Bazooka rookies)

-he likes the look of SGC holders and read that SGC is tougher on grades

-he said he thinks 2012 Prizm is going to blow up next

He's pumping everything. Lol.

Pokemon, the stock market, and everything else!

Hakeem! Gervin! Everything!

He also said that he's going to get guys like Diddy and Snoop Dawg to start investing.

Can you imagine? Lol.

I’ve watched 30-40 mins of the stream, but it’s like a self-parody, especially the SGC related part.

hahaha Yup.

He tried to say SGC is the equivalent of Netflix. Things fking change.

splum · 03-09-2020, 06:43 PM

This is the most bizarre thing I've ever watched in my life and I've seen all of twin peaks.

PSA/BGSbois ain't gonna like this.

This is honestly pretty fun to at least watch.

A cardboard messiah putting the golden touch on everything he deems fit.

He really liked that Oscar "Robinson" fella, too.

The true connoisseur/fan we need, but don't deserve.

SGC cant get out of its own way, sadly

You probably saw me yelling at ppl for outbidding me on soccer cards haha... love sports cards discussion even if its not all soccer. He said he even reads our forums!!!

ALBASKETBALL · 03-09-2020, 07:30 PM

Gary is great for the hobby. Huge social media influencer that is bringing more money into the market. Not sure what people are complaining about.

solt0131 · 03-09-2020, 07:43 PM

Luka Optic's are coming off the board on eBay at a frantic pace.

theleica · 03-09-2020, 07:44 PM

Did he mention DeAndre Ayton?!?

Just had a card sell for full asking price I have been trying to sell for months...

Thank God I got a Curry Topps before this.

ND3 · 03-09-2020, 07:55 PM

Gary just admitted he only has 30 copies of Acuna update PSA 10s. And claimed he bought 33 of the complete set PSA 10s because he didn’t do his homework....thought they were updates.

Interesting to me that he isn’t saying oh Luka at $600-700. I am in...still buying. He knows market is irrational and won’t touch some of this stuff now.

Did he really say Gervin? I just sent a 1981 Topps PSA 10 to Probstein today. If it goes for $200 I will die.

On a unrelated note to Gervin, I can't wait for the Jordan documentary 10 part series in June. I might be able to retire because of Gary Vee.

That’s going to be great. Some of these kids will finally see MJ on TV.
