Is it weird that this SCI guy is pimping his shite on a daily fantasy sports tout site?

Lost it 1:39 into SCI video when he finishes saying P2020 is a bad investment and brings in a Bowman 2020 Jumbo from off the screen to start pumping it.

I think that's smart. I'm trying to accumulate the old stuff also - by selling some of my stash of newer releases. Sell Baller Trouts and buy a Cartoon Clemente for example. Baller Trouts may have higher ROI, but I like the idea of consolidating these into blue chipper early releases.

All things you would think THE Sports Card INVESTOR would take into consideration.

Oh man if Rotogrinders (by extension through SCI) hates it everyone should be back in 100%.

But also if Rotogrinders is now touting sports card investments, we've officially jumped the shark in general.

What I would seriously like to know is how are people already getting GRADED Baller Trouts back when I still haven't received mine in the mail?

Is there a warp speed option with BGS?

I had the same thought as well. I've played DFS since 2014 and the Rotogrinder touts are some of the biggest grifters in the industry. Not surprised they'd partner with this clown.

A would you or would you not question...
You have 1 Baller Ichiro.
Would you risk sending it in to BGS for grading?

Just received notification that my 10-packs of Grotesk Jeter, Saladeen Mays and Chang Ichiro have shipped. Hopefully they all come in one touches. My Baller Trouts did and they arrived a few days ago.

Basically he said anyone buying P2020 cards are, "out of their damn minds!".

And he said it several times, with "moments of silence" mixed in between.

I laughed almost the entire time watching it. It was actually entertaining. Maybe he will talk all kinds of people into not buying anymore so print runs come back down. LOL!

Yes, you can walk in for drop off and pick it up the next day. They used to do same day but stopped guaranteeing that a while back.

Sat through the SCI and while I think he tries to lay out his argument well, the biggest thing he misses is the EMOTIONAL CONNECTION people have to P2020.

Never in anyone's lifetime has the country shut down to the point where the streets of Time Square have looked like a complete ghost town. Everyone who has bought a P2020 card up until now will remember where there were, what was going on in their lives and what interested them in buying a card. Whether it was the player, the artist, the money- doesn't matter. Everyone is experiencing something completely unique in their life and P2020 is attached to that. He mentions the popularity because of no sports- EXACTLY! This set is etched in time and will forever will be.

The value of Project 2020 is in EMOTION.

Lastly, if people think were having a baseball season this year- you havent been reading between the lines in the news. Both sides are FAR apart in negotiations and I seriously doubt we have a 2020 season. Even more reason this set is special.

Personally, I don't want them in graded holders but Im keeping what I have for my PC as I really like the cards. . If you are wanting to flip and look your card over with a magnifying glass and it looks perfect, youll probably get more for a 10.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie, if BGS can get a Pristine 10 out early for one of the hoddest commodities on the secondary market, that alone will generate enough buzz to gain back some of the business lost to PSA recently. They want everyone to send in there Project2020 cards for grading especially with 100 releases out already and 300 more to come.
