Default Sic Sick 'Filthy' 2019-20 NT RPA

Not sure how and why RPAs become 'sick' but I really was drawn to this 'Filthy' RPA...

If someone uses the word "sick" in an auction title I will 100% pass it over. I'm old and jaded to begin with and I find the use of the word outside of it's original meaning to be completely stupid. Thank you for also pointing out "filthy" as I feel the same way about that.
Damn millennials!

Kind of like when I see "Invest".

If the seller really thought this card would be a good investment, they wouldn't be selling it.

Sick Fire Drip Wet Flamethrower...I automatically skip these listings as well out of principle. Some call me ignorant but I do buy quite a bit of cards.

When people try to add a marketing twist on listings it's just makes them sound desperate. You see it in the BST thread all the time. Dudes putting up screenshots of past eBay sales along with 6 other price justifications. One of my all time favorites was a Reggie Miller listing that said "I know this is fire because Jordan said Pacers were his toughest matchup".

My least favorite of these are the "non-auto". Makes it so much more frustrating to find actual autos for guys that I'm trying to, you know, buy an auto for like my search indicated.

Same with the people that will sell a random player, but in the ebay tags say "Zion Williamson" or "Lebron James". Just messes up and defeats the purpose of the searching algorithms.

That bottom edge is filthy for a “big hit” from a $4K box.

Has anyone published a white paper on how you can tell if something is FIRE! or not? I mean how am I supposed to know if the listing doesn't say it?

Or who I should INVEST NOW! in? It's all so very confusing.

I am the same way, no sick, fire, invest and now filthy for me I did a search on ebay under cards on 'filthy'... you'd be suprised! Lots of filth. Some are trying to covey that the patch is so game used that it is 'filthy'

Who is Alen Smailagic? Imagine that being your RPA from a $4-5,000 box.

Is it just me or are the autos on the majority of these rookies look horrendous!? For a $4k+ per box I would expect better looking autos on this, and not just some squiggly line Like Reddish or a "L" auto like Rui's. Kinda turns me off.

Admiral Schofield is the only fella who has a signature that looks kinda nice.

yup! If only all autos would look similar to that, then the premium paid for these current RPA's may somewhat be justifiable and a bit better, but still pricey. Other "lazy" autos that I don't like include: Barrett, Paschal, Bol Bol, Smailagic, Culver, Little, Washington, and so forth. Just too many turrriibbbllle autos.

heck, even the most made fun of rookie Goga smokes all their autos! lol

Amazing autograph. Someone needs to put these kids in a penmanship class. This is pathetic.

lol he's the guy I'm actually after out of this Warriors draft class because I figured he'd be the only one I could afford to grab a lot of his cards (lol Paschall RPA going for more than Klay). Still the first 2 went for $400+ which is way too much for me, there's probably only like 5 of us on the planet who wants one of these and there are what, 200+ printed? Be interesting to see how singles prices hold once 50% of the run is busted

The only thing filthy about the listing is the price. You and I will be buyers once it hits two digits.

I hate when people do this. I think people are doing this with Patrick Mahomes just as much as Zion right now. Extremely Frustrating.

Sometimes the tags either happen by mistake or its an Ebay default. If people do this over and over when you go to list that combo will be sometimes be auto populated into the item specifics have seen it happen many times. Or when you are listing like I do in blocks of 100 or more items at a time you don't always think to check those.
