I was just joking.

In the spirit of demonizing flippers, for the pain they've caused us.

Gotcha. No problem and thank you.

I don't have the time to flip that many cards and I have never sold a card I didn't have in my possession.

I observe dozens of sellers on Ebay selling "Project" cards on Presale with zero profit margin and wonder why.

All of that work for rewards points and a shot at a Gold?

Seriously?

I just don’t trust it. Especially after watching McMillions. I don’t believe that Jeter chain will go to a random buyer.

I’m not sure how Topps could have done it better, but I’m out.

Baller getting an Artist Print doesn't help one's faith that the Jeter chain will be sent to some rando.

You are 100% correct. For centuries, only wealthy people could afford to sit (or pay for others to sit) for portraits. I love the Mona Lisa and didn't 'get it' until I saw it in person the first time. Personally, I just find diamonds boring and that seems to be all Baller does on these cards. On every single card.

I once took a tour of an emerald mine in Brazil and it was fascinating.

That's what happens when you use trash open source Magento as an ecommerce platform.

Big fan of Siff (my favorite of his is the Brett.) I really like the Siff Ryan except for the paper-mache face. Any info on what Siff was trying to achieve with that? I think something similar appeared in another one of his cards (I can’t remember which one).

It does seem like there is some intentional obnoxiousness on Baller's part.

Like heavy metal bands - their goal is to both please young fans but also annoy the parents.

Yes.

McMillions was the first thing that went through my head when autos, necklaces and artist proofs/gold frames came into play

No one randomly gets any of this stuff. Topps already knows who's getting the Jeter chain, the autos and the 1/1s. APs--artists get first dibs now and preferred buyers/bots get the rest.

Once in a while there is an accident and a random normie gets something
