Yeah i remember Geechquest talking about that awhile ago. I can't remember the company that was doing it or heard much more about it though.

Select Hobby Box $3,200
Chronicles Hobby Box $1,600 (6 packs)
Chronicles Fat Pack Bkx $1,000

These are the prices and going up. Those are the products talked about significantly, not including products with auto focus tells me very little of the top three are being broken. What is In The hobby for raw is opened. When we consider these numbers and the heat of the market, if people want the rookies of the 2018 class singles is the way they will go. Not discounting wax long term value, but has it gotten too high, except for those high risk gamblers?

Have been in this hobby for 30 plus yearS and cannot remember a time where the prices were like this ever. 2018 is historic on a lot of levels. Hold as long as you can people. An influx of new pack fresh cards will,not enter the market.

Prizm Cello Box is $3,000...

I sent a bunch of stuff in for grading several months ago. I got lucky on my Luka's and went 5/5. "The Rookies" Tatum is a green /5. I pulled that card myself.

Boom! It feel good doesn’t it to send 5 cards to grade that might have been 300 raw and come back worth around $3,000. Again, WOW!!!

[Miggy4583]

this might be a terrible question, but are the luka autos with big skips better? I'm referring to an auto like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/LUKA-DONCIC...t/373376761922 .... or are the full contenders optics better?

[RogerGodahell]

I'm really surprised BGS gave that a 10 auto. Personally it would bug me because of the skips if i owned that card.

Welcome back, Roger! Those skips don’t bother me, because they are common in Luka’s signatures. It’s not a skip because of a low ink level pen, it’s a characteristic of his non loopy autos and it’s very tough to reproduce.

Indeed, the “skipping” is characteristic of Luka’s mannerism with his legitimate autos particularly from the newer products like chronicles, optic contenders, immaculate and flawless

Freshly graded... Was hoping for a 10 but I'll take it!

I have a Luka 2018 Prizm Blue /199 PSA 9

What would be approximate market on that?

For the sake of transparency, I sold this Luka. Buyer didnt want price public

[sc29650]

Considering a 10 sold a few weeks ago for 30k, I would say you did very very well, nice job

Luka exhibits these skips in both his questioned and unquestioned autos. This to me is the most compelling proof that Luka signs ALL OF HIS AUTOS. Sounds like you guys agree.

Kinda insane especially since I passed on a psa 10 at $12k in July

I bought two of these blues the summer after they came out for around $700ea

Sold one that BGS 9.5'd for $3500 this time last year

This one I kept trying to 10 or BGS 9.5 with no luck... needless to say very happy with the $22k sale as I pursue a very big fish

If anyone has a spare 22k laying around their couch cushions and needs a BGS 9 let me know.

[77maddog]

Breaking news Giannis and every other NBA star has their Mom’s signing their autographs. Here is my unsubstantiated proof.

I'm trying not to be "that guy" but need some help on the value of this Luka. There are NO PSA 10's and 2-PSA 9's on this Gold Premier Level /10.

This is a beauty, Matt! Congrats! I would say it's 1.7-2Kish, but I might be wrong.

Prizm & Gold are MONEY; all grossly undervalued. Awesome slab sir!

Thank-you! I have 2K-2500 in my head, so I think we are kind of thinking similar numbers. Sometimes you need a sanity check.

Thank you Guys!
