If you Buy 20 then you got them ea for $4-5! Maybe theyll sell for $1-2 over the long run.

$11.99 per one.

But you're right, many bought in bundles too (lowering average cost) so the extra $2 (actually $3) per card might not be true.

Then again, all bundle prices increased a significant amount too.

what was the print run on the card? I can't find it. I'd guess close to 200,000

I meant typically 8.99, not 9.99. 11.99 - 8.99 = $3

Yeah, they're typically $8.99 for a single copy these days.

However, Topps/Fanatics raised the price per single copy to $11.99 for a few of the Olympic basketball cards.

Lame but it is what it is. I also heard that it originally started at $8.99 too (the Curry/LeBron/KD one).

Does anybody really invest in Olympic cards?

Seriously.

Here's what I've heard so far:

1. $250k: Goldin (via some FB user)
2. $150k: CB Hobby (via FB group)
3. $100k + VIP experience: SCI

Put tjforce on the list for a $100k bounty + the VIP experience of hearing about my take about who the biggest clowns in the hobby are.

I'm serious. I'll pay $100k to be the first buyer of this card AND you get to hear my spout off. Do I expect anyone to take me up on the offer? No. Would I? Yes. Not because I have a desire to own this card forever, but to prove the point that this card would do a lot more than $100k in the market.

Why this card instead of a 2009 NT Steph Curry RPA/99, for example?

1. One-of-one vs. 99 copies (not to mention all the parallels of that card).

2. Includes autographs from LeBron and KD (personally, I don't care about the latter).

3. There's many different types of Curry RCs (including RPAs) but there's not many different types of Curry Olympic cards (including, in uniform).

I want cards that nobody else can have (or as few as possible so there are no others available). My goal going to a show is to have something that no one else has and has no competitors increasing the supply in the market. Then I get to name my price.

For $100k I can't get a Curry NT that really stands out from the other 98 copies. It would be low grade, plain patch. My market gets constrained by someone else coming along with a better copy.

This triple will be the only Lebron/Curry/Durant triple in existence for a while and I'm willing to bet that there will be someone willing to overpay for it. So maybe I'd sell it and guy buy an even better copy of a Curry NT.

Haha, just for you, I'll add it to the list.

So really, it’s primarily the flip factor where you have three public entities announcing bounties to back up your confidence in purchasing it at that price.

1. /99 doesn’t hurt either the exquisite Lebron or Durant RPAs or the NT Steph - the iconic demand for those far exceeds that of the topps now non-rookie 1/1 IMO.

2. Multi-auto cards traditionally don’t do as well because there is often a less desirable player on the card. This combo could be replicated to eternity and may hurt its future uniqueness.

3. There is only one single best Curry rookie - his iconic RPA. Nobody collects/invests in Olympics cards.

4. Recency bias.

[hermanotarjeta]

Furthermore, how much more patriotic enthusiasm (cash) do investors get (invest) about NBA players depicted in Olympic unis when it’s like the University of Alabama football program (Team USA) versus Vanderbilt and Arkansas State (the rest of the world) every four years?

I mean, did they really accomplish something truly magical like the US hockey team beating the Russians in 1980?

I personally called a US win against Serbia when they were down by 17 - is there really any patriotism going in to the bounty prices or is it just plain old American greed and hype?

I did an IG poll and so far 72% are guessing 250k or higher. Personally I'm gonna say somewhere in the 350k range

[zolt1313]

Official PR 588,030.

I'm not sure what the correct average purchase price would be, since many people would buy bundles. But if we say for example 8 dollars average price that is 4.7 million in revenue right there.

Now calculate the odds on the parallels lol

That number... they might need to add a few more parallels... that's a ton of base.

What will eBay price be once in hand? $3.25 delivered?

They did… there’s parallels to /199!

I didn't bring up investing. I said that I believe a 1/1 auto of the 3 of them in the same Team USA jersey would sell for more than a 1/1 auto of the 3 of them in different NBA uniforms.

Warriors - Lakers/Cavs/Heat - Suns/Nets/Warriors/Thunder/Sonics


Maybe not if they didn't win Gold but I'd say Team USA Basketball has a bit of lore to it that would push the price higher.

No... I'm saying add additional on top of what they already announced. Like /299 /499 etc... give others the opportunity to hit something. They made enough money to do it

Is this the new Griffey Shore?

Funny I read idiots saying oh it's just a lottery ticket. A lottery ticket cost $2 for a chance to win 8 or 9 figures, generational wealth, and retirement. This card people are paying way more than $2 for. Even if you hit it's only $250k before taxes. Idiot brigade strikes again!

[anusinha]

im guessing a lot of people used topps now points on this. Wonder how many PSA 10s of this there will end up being.

For sure... Team USA carries a huge premium.

Not sure the 588k base will... but the parallels and auto will.

Sell for more? It's not close. Look at what you can get Steph and Durant 1/1 autos for in their NBA uniform. A triple auto in their NBA uniforms isn't worth even half the $250k offer on this card.

I said the same thing…and a cool base card is a bit less rare

[Asian62150]

Another online breaker (Blez, I think) is offering $200K and a LV bag
