Not sure why some are hating on SashaT. He is a 22yo, who started with $15G just 2 years ago. He is now making this type of deals. What he is showing us is the potential for the hobby for anyone. Kid is an entrepreneur. Tbh, I like watching his videos.

Exactly.

A lot of people hate on anything entrepreneurial in here though, even though they should really be taking notes.

Sodium levels through the roof in this piece.

It’s tough because I don’t want any of those cards and they don’t really do anything for me, but trying to be objective and put myself in Sasha’s shoes. He hedged against the market while simultaneously capturing immense upside. This is why Sasha excels at what he does.

Charizard is GOAT!! Dont be so disrespectful to charizard rc psa 10

Most in this thread seem to appreciate what he is doing. However, it is important to consider the room. Some long time collectors will look at this as everything that is wrong with the hobby that they have been a part of for years.

Normally, I'm not a fan of any flipper or loud-mouth-know-it-all.

But, Sacha come off as a decent guy. He talks WITH you, not TO you. That's a huge difference. If you see his videos, he walks you through his thought process like he is there next to you. Rather than doing any fancy graphics and screaming at you to buy this card or that card or this card now or this card later.

Good guy I think...hope his personality stays the same! Easy to watch his videos.

100%. Talks with you, seems pretty humble and shares what he knows. This is important as a content creator imo, you need to give to your audience. Not always trying to squeeze audience to give to you, which some content creators lean on too heavily. If your content is interesting enough, the audience will follow. But you have to give audience something of value, whether it be entertainment or information/knowledge.

What hobby? It's no longer a hobby and investors like him are to blame, that's why I dislike him, as well as all the other investors who are simply in it for the money.

I can respect that position/view point.

I totally agree. I've done a deal with him and he was super polite. He offered to drive to my home to do the deal, but I chose to meet him at Burbank sports cards. He was cool, his camera man was super cool too. He's a solid dude.

One was a box topper. It’s not a pack pulled card. While it is low numbered, there is a reason the black /500 sells for more. Some card rules are weird, but generally accepted.

The Kobe is a nice patch auto, from a well received master set, but the Patches Auto are generally regarded as the “worst” from that Exquisite set. Kobe has 5 different patch autos in 03/04 Exquisite, and the one traded for is generally regarded as the worst of the 5.

The psa 10 base chrome is very high pop nothing special - agreed.

Actually the xFractor sold for quite a bit more than the black refractor. You can check the sold prices on eBay, most recent that comparable are from end of January this year. PSA 9 xfractor sold for 128K on 1/31/2021 and PSA 9 black refrator sold for $79K on 1/30/2021.

The Kobe 03-04 EAP is a very nice card, but unfortunately many patches from 03-04 EAP Kobe were altered. I am not sure if this one was altered or not, but most of these should have one or two color patches.

Overall I agree Sasha won this trade.

Not sure if he’s an investor. Seems like a typical collector that likes to consolidate for that ultimate grail.

Very interesting to see him go through his thought process when it comes to who he's buying and when and for how much...

There was around 30 people all packed in around when this deal was going down. Couldve Sold tickets or had it on ppv.

Same here. If you see videos of not by him, you can see he talks to everybody. One of the most respect I have for him is always wearing face mask. That shows me who he is. He has one of the best line in the card industry, my translation you'll go broke if you held your Andrew Luck RCs.

Not according to the comments of most members here. It seems like he doesn't hold onto cards, always flipping them, so the ultimate grail is cash.

25:45 Sasha talks how it went down.

Cliff notes:
Wasn't looking for Charizard
Bought Mike Trout BGS 9.5/10 from Charizard owner
Told Sasha, he was offered $350K for Charizard
Charizard owner asked if he was interested
Owner shook hand then re-negged from $80K to $100K (took it, 2 good 2 pass)
Holding on Charizard, thinks card is $1 million.

The guy says mbappe’s prizm ( 3rd year card) is his big cardin his latest video, either he is tricking the buyers/sellers or he genuinely dont’t have a clue.

His videos are interesting though.

Just 15k?

Wish I could've started wit 15k right as the card market went to the moon.

Not just anyone has 15k to start though to be fair. I do get your point but some of us started with a lot less than that to get where we are in terms of our collection. I also enjoy his videos and agree there is potential for anyone in the hobby but it would certianly be easier for those who had 15k to start. Im proud to say that i have built my collection to where it as as im sure others are but to compare starting with 15k capital to potential for anybody is a reach.

Most people love success, but hate the successful. Remember that.

These people you're describing will never be successful and will always be trying to bring others down with them.

monkeymcgee · 03-16-2021, 07:05 AM

Like him or not (I happen to), the people Sasha will bring into cards will help the value of your collections even if you never sell. I'm always amused when people who don't even qualify for old-timer status are grumbling about new people coming into their little niche interest. This attention is never bad, even if they don't move or talk about the cardboard in a way you approve of.
