It's unlike anything we've/I've seen....I'm 30+ years in this game. The art world is carrying this more than our baseball/hobby world is, imo…..that is a big differentiator.

It will, in fact, lose you money and the respect of your friends and family if you do.

Ok guys, I’ve decided I’m anti-pump gang for the next 2 weeks. Im rooting (hoping?) these stay under 50k PR for as long as possible.

Where are the Bowman Bois? Can they come in here and tell us we’re idiots again?

This,

You probably won't be making the insane gains that the cards with 5xxx Print Run or less are, but you will make money. When you are buying the card at $18-20 per on the website or a trusted pre-sale site, you will for sure make money whether it be $100 or $1000. I estimate most these cards now (between 60-100) will fall within the $300-500 range. But again I could be wrong.

Ben Baller did announce his Jeter is going to be the best card in the entire set and promised it, so I'm sure the PR is going to be astronomical, but still people will want.

I only have 4 cards (2 Rochester Trout and 2 Baller Gooden's) all bought off Topps for the Bundle Deal. My plan is to sell 1 of each recoup and make money and keep the others for long term plan. I feel that is the right approach. I also do not do the Pre-Sell thing as I believe we are finding people regretfully selling for pre-sell when cards are quadrupling in price by the time they are in hand.

Too note in 24 hours since Topps stopped selling those 2:

Rochester Trout - Hovering in the $80 mark
Baller Gooden - Hovering in the $40-50 mark

Average buy in - $20 per. I'd still make money

This kinda feels like the Crypto bubble from a couple years back.....

Serious question: Do you think the original 1952 Topps Mantle is a bubble?

buy the cards you like, and if it all burns to the ground, you will have cards you like

Bingo, part of me is wanting to focus just on Baller's stuff.

Did you guys know you could report a Buyer who cancels a sale to the Internet Crime Complaint Center...One of the things they investigate is Non-Delivery of goods through the internet..Especially if its an expensive item

You nailed it dude. Try not to be a bag holder too.

I’m not seeing the correlation there.... Can you elaborate why you’re comparing the ‘52 Mantle?

[Archangel1775]

Someone that maths should see if there is any kind of sales pattern for the different days of the week.

You’ve got people jumping in that aren’t baseball fans and don’t know the players. I don’t even think they know what Topps is. Just look at the Instagram or other social media feeds for some of the more popular artists. Lots of people buying the artist. Asking questions we would consider dumb like “where can I buy this?” Then you have people on BO buying the players. There’s probably a little quarantine boredom going on too. Basically a lot of factors combining to create this phenomenon. And it appears to be gaining steam.

[gmoney328]

Problem with buying just what you like is that as this has gone on, at least for me personally, I'm finding something I like about pretty much every card.

A few exceptions, but for the most part, the cards themselves are pretty bada$$.

Question though, these items so far are limited in print run, I don't believe Crypto is as limited as these items are am I right?

I definitely believe there is some sort of bubble, but there has to be more than just this. Remember, in order for a bubble to occur money must be removed completely from those pumping. What I see is 4 major industries of people buying and re-cycling the money into the same market.
