It might be too late for Dybala to put up career numbers that jump off the page, but I'm not sure his window to become a superstar has passed. Except in the hobby it has, which I guess was the point. Just a really narrow market.

that was so american

Guilty as charged.

Whisper it quietly but it looks like some of the big name base prizm has formed a base and is recovering a bit, I think I saw Messi and Ronaldo are touching $700 again.

Ianhatcher · 01-08-2021, 04:15 PM

Doesn't surprise me there is a bit of an uptick as people have been getting their free money checks in the US.

There's no hope for Dybala. He's a winger/forward.
No winger after 30 does anything.
That's why Ronaldo moved to a more striker position.

Dybala had like two good years and he's finished now.

Soccer is not kind to these type of players. Look at Alexis Sanchez.

Now they are all $30-$50.

It goes in cycles.

Funny thing is wax was never really going up even though singles sold like crazy.

wouldnt say dybala is doomed because of his position necessarily. he showed alot of promise early on in his career but was always playing second to someone whether that be manzukic, higuain, ronaldo now or aguero/ messi at argentina. had a great year in 17/18 but with injuries and loss of form his consistency has vanished

YayNJ · 01-09-2021, 08:24 AM

I don't really buy this "always second to someone" excuse. He's played nearly 400 games over ten years.

Mattman1234 · 01-10-2021, 04:10 AM

maybe i shouldve been clearer. the fact that he could never lead the team himself is his fault more so than bad luck. he has never proven to consistently produce in big games and for that reason was 2nd to different players most of his career

Every soccer auto?

Even a Carlos Bacca auto? Lol

Yeah.
Some guy really liked South American players.
This is cad$ not us though.

But a year or two later no one wanted anything to do with soccer. Couldn't give it away.

Things are heating up across the board for soccer. It's almost like the Sapphire release drew some attention to the sport. Some people here will be so disappointed.

I don’t think that can be stressed enough.

Ianhatcher · 01-12-2021, 10:37 AM

People got their free government checks. We saw this last year as well and it caused a spike too.

$600 doesn't get you a single 2016, 2017 or 2018 (minus a crappy donruss base or insert) Mbappe PSA 10. Stimulus checks have almost zero to do with whats happening in sports cards!

Do you genuinely believe what you have written?

100% Anyone paying half attention in 2019, saw what was coming in 2020. Anyone not living under a rock, saw and can see what 2021 will be. This was all happening and in the works, well before stimulus checks were being announced and cut.

Which was?

Ianhatcher · 01-12-2021, 12:20 PM

Ok this is sad but I can't believe I have to break this down. One person sells 10 cards for $600 so now they have $6000. They use that $6000 to buy a more expensive card.

This isn't rocket science, this is how the trade of money for goods works...

I've sold $5000 in $100-$700 cards this past week and I'll probably use that to buy a bigger card for my collection.

Same thing happened last year during the $1200 stimulus checks.

An explosion in sports cards! Saying stimulus checks is why it's all happening, is lazy. Anyone that did their homework and paid attention for the past few years, saw this coming.

Homework?

Was selling off a load of Tatis and Vlad cards dirt cheap part of the plan, or selling Ja Morant rookies for $6? Or was it charity on your behalf knowing what was coming in 2020?

Was I selling Ja Morant rookies for $6 or something?

Some inserts, and some bargain basement sales of Herro, RJ and Rui.

If you knew what was coming, that's a bit weird.

I think someone is being a little revisionist
