Hoops parallels have been criminally undervalued. Maybe Luka will shake up the market on these. I just auctioned off my Zion #258 Red /75 for some extra funds and shouldn’t have. I think these will really gain steam in the long run.

We were talking about the Vanguard golds, but those Titaniums are also really nice cards!

Nice prizm auto!

[QUOTE=volblorx8634;16134807]It's understandable how many here and in the hobby are buying Luka. Looks like as close to a guaranteed all time great as we've seen in the first couple years since Jordan and LeBron. Good bet his cards just keep going up for years and years.

I'm just curious, how many of you are:

1) using Luka cards as an "investment vehicle" (build up "equity" over time)
2) using Luka cards to fund your PC
3) collecting Luka as your PC, whether it's because you like him, appreciate him as a player, think his mom is attractive, etc?

I'm not sure why I'm wondering, but everyone is so excited about increasing Luka prices that it wouldn't make sense to be excited if you want to build your collection of him. Three years ago I started collecting players in addition to the Kings that I appreciate (LeBron, Duncan, Kobe, Kawhi, etc.), and earlier this year, Luka joined that list. So I personally hate seeing his prices go up because the cards I wish I would've bought a month ago for $


#3 for me. I LOVE watching this kid, always impresses me, so polished at such a young age.
Last guys i felt this strong about were Mahomes, Curry, Giannis before they had the full hobby love.

Probstein... Green Prizm Luka Gem for $1400! I knew they were slowly creeping up but wow! Probably a bit of a Probstein premium overpayment...

Luka’s Shock is tough, but his Optic Choice is way harder. Only 5 of 63 submitted to PSA have gemmed, and only 3 of 54 are BGS 9.5's.

Got my latest numbered Luka rookie in and love it! Any Luka rookie numbered that I can get under $250 I will jump on it!

Even though it’s not Optic, that’s a steal. His laser stuff is still a bargain as well.

Correct. I missed that one! The optic fast break Holo is also a tough GEM.

I am a little bit of 2 and 3.

I have a 2018 Pink Prizm PSA 10 coming back shortly and that will be available for trade for my PC of other things (#2)

I have a 2018 Silver Prizm PSA 9 coming back shortly and that I am going to keep, just cause I think he's a great player and who knows where that card could go, even in a 9 (#3)

But if someone were to offer me a Green T206 Cobb for my Silver, then I'd probably fall into #2 for both of them

** I think all modern cards are an investment now.

2) using Luka cards to fund your PC

** Only to buy other PC cards of Luka, Mahomes and Soto

3) collecting Luka as your PC, whether it's because you like him, appreciate him as a player, think his mom is attractive, etc?

** Too many times I passed up on buying Tom Brady (Despite watching him every Sunday for 20 years and seeing how great he was) and too many times I passed up on LeBron because he was "too expensive" at the time despite my gut telling me over and over again that he was one of the greatest to ever play. After making it a point to try and watch Luka play I feel that I am watching a great player. How great? We'll see, but I know what he is doing at his age isn't normal and I love his attitude and how he plays.

I love Optic Choice it's either hit or miss but i've seen some really nice stuff out of it. Lot's of black gold's in them boxes. I believe there's 24 black gold Luka's in total. There's the base black and gold, the signature series, and the base auto black gold. Which isn't a ton but they didn't print a ton of Choice either. I've watch many many breaks and done the math and the black/golds fall around 1:3 or 4 boxes which is good considering how good the 18-19 draft was.

Then there's also the red /88, red base autos /88, those mojos you're talking about that aren't numbered but there were about 450 made. Then there's also the reg holos and the elusive green dragons which i think were under /10 probably /5. Those are big big money if you can pull a Luka dragon. They're about as rare as seeing a real dragon.

Yeah in person they look so damn good. Just hate the grades on them. I tried getting one of the /88 red mojos but it moved before I could get to an agreement.

What is actually happening here???
PSA 10 base Luka Prizm. Sold for $21,000...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-PANINI....m46890.l49292

Obviously this isnt real. So did someone see this ridiculous price and buy it now with the intention of never paying, just to make this person have to pay the final value fee and go through those hoops just for having a ridiculous price? Additionally if the seller doesn't go through the full unpaid item process they could be left paying the fee anyway. Anyone heard of this type of thing happening?
It's none of my business but listings like this are irksome.

Back in one of my homes I haven't been to a ton during quarantine was pulling some weightlifting stuff out of my garage when I noticed a Walmart bag on the shelf. Looked in it and some open hangers/blasters of Chronicles and Status.

Nothing special here, but pretty cool find I plan on hanging onto.

Nothing special. Just $400-$500 worth of raw Luka

Lol, fair enough. A bunch of nice Trea and SGA's as well.

Quarantine has treated me well. Being as I ripped and flipped 2013-2018 in very high quanitity, going through 5k counts in bulk has been profitable in this boom market.

That said, this was obviously some wal-mart rip a few years back that I just wanted out of my car and put on a shelf in the garage (all except the pink (corner ding) look real good though)

Also nothing special...just back in "one of" your homes.

Multiple homes or multiple Lukas? I know Luka is closing the gap, but I would still take homes.

Ask me again tomorrow.

Incredible follow up to his rookie year:

2nd year stats: 28.7 ppg, 9 assists, 9 rebounds per game, shooting 57% from 2 points land, 30% from 3....

6'7, 230 pounds... Sky is the limit for this kid!!

Should AVG 30+ppg next year in just his third season! So impressive!

Lebron/Giannis last guys i can remeber taking this big of a jump so early in their careers

Luka!

I can't bring myself to do it. I have been breaking other things to resist the temptation to break what I have left of the good stuff.
