No fvcking way this is a legit story.

Like Fab said, it needs a feel good story to boost the value of the card.

It would have been an episode on Goldin's show if they went that route with it.

And at this point, it's too far gone. The conspiracists will continue to have a field day with it.

It’s pathetic that they are hiding behind children to protect themselves from bullets.

I do feel like this card will have its own episode in season 3 of King of Collectibles.

Hey, we'll at least get an episode dedicated to the Ohtani 50/50 dual relic auto 1/1 DB card!

You guys are adults start acting like it.

Uh, I never said anything about a photo of the kid. How about Topps just make an article giving some basic details about the kid and how he pulled the card.

For example:

Little Timmy loves baseball cards. Ever since going to a hobby shop with his dad at age 8, he's been hooked on Topps MLB cards. He gets an allowance every month from his dad to buy a box of cards. This time he chose to buy a box of Topps Chrome Update, and it has completely changed his life. His parents are planning to set aside the proceeds from the sale of the Skenes card for little Timmy's college tuition and other future expenses.

If little Timmy can pull a life-changing card, then any loser can do it -- buy Topps products.

I must admit, the diary entry is a little bizarre.

Is he going to waste an episode on him failing to get the card? I'm sure the theorists will say Ken knew about this a long time ago and his video release was all part of the plan.

We had roughly 3 days. Was there enough time for Ken to get out to meet the family and try and convince them to sell with him and have it be enough footage for the show?

I mean didn't the photos of the journal pages give us that exact info? Aside from what they are gonna do with the money.

Was there video of that card being pulled from a pack? Or does it get the same lore as this card about Rubin hand picking the lucky recipient?

[hermanotarjeta]

It’s been a month since Christmas. Why did topps wait so long to post?

Oh, is the card not going to Goldin? I just assumed it was since they said they were selling it at auction.

Fanfan - We will announce to world about a month after the pull so that the timeline for notification and slabbing look right and keep sales bumping for another month.

Kid's breaker dad - Let's go !!!!!!

Truer words have never been spoken.
I’ve never been less interested in the threads and posts that have littered the front page of this forum. Just so damned boring and inconsequential to my card existence.
Bring in the games

The post said it was going to be in the Fanatics Collect's March auction

Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Okay, being a Christmas present from his parents, who seem to be price sensitive and operating on a fairly tight budget -- implying they are not well-off -- warms my heart.

The dollar sign being on the opposite side of the number is a nice touch.

In my nearly 40 years in this hobby, I've never been more ashamed to read such a transparent scam of a story.

Fanatics has made Topps, the once most reputable trading card company of all, unrecognizable.

On another matter, Blowout Mods - remove the "Bowman Scout" moniker from underneath my name, if you please.

[hermanotarjeta]

This is the most cringe I’ve ever felt being associated with this hobby.

[CTSportsboy57]

I read online that the kids dad may be a famous breaker on What Not named Lennay Kekua. Big Notre Dame fan.

So you're saying the card was actually pulled by a group breaker who is using the money to buy a lambo for his teenage son?

Proof it was a breaker’s kid - dad said “let’s gooooooooo”.

Haha, love it.

Kids don't write these days?? I work in a public middle school dude. There is plenty of writing going on here and ELA teachers in particular have their kids keep written journals.

Just yesterday Hermano said Fanatics was dragging this out too long and that the hate and vitriol were only increasing. Now you say this is being spun too hard.

This is the danger of conspiracies. You eventually get to a point where the conspiracy always wins because you can trick your brain into covering every other base possible. It's a form of confirmation bias.

You must not live in Los Angeles county.

Ah yes, you are quite far away. Good for you.

I’m not fanatics’ target audience.

I never joined the breaker/influencer/degenerate pump and dump circus they have created, so I’ve never been in this “new hobby” to begin with.
