Intriguing

Could you perhaps name one, or several, of these players?

Just go down the roster and pick one you like. Plenty cards to go around. PSA open for submission.

Who would you say the hottest you player with plenty of supply is, Nomad? Hot in terms of how hot he is physically that is.

Mashallah that I've never depended on kards as any substantial portion of revenue and stuck to the cryptoboi blueprint est 2016. What little holdings I do have of my beloved BBW will serve as cherished relics of beautiful days past.

Remember: just cuz the Titanic now lay decomposing on the floor of the North Atlantic, doesn't mean Jack & Rose's explits in the backseat of the Model T weren't at one point lit af.





Selling memories is only selling yourself.
Holding Zion at this point is the equivalent of a girl giving you souvenir pantaloons you gaze at occasionally in appreciation for what once was.

So look, I don't really go that way, god knows I would have gotten laid once in the past five years and made it out of the basement if I did.

But if you want to get into analytics, watch the most recent Blez '20-21 Prizm box break closely (they must have really gone through hoard to be down to this).

They hit a Nesmith bass rookie and that merits a call out and Finals mention, coupled with a "wow" from the sorter. It's the fourth best hit of the break, beating out all kinds of color, though not the sort (And still valued at .99 in the market).

This is advanced sentiment metrics I know, but a month ago you could have hit that same Nesmith in up to an orange /49 and it would have merited a disappointed call out and been maybe 10th best card in the break. Patience my friend.

My real point of course is that there is no way that Zion should be hobby relevant at this point. And that, as with a relationship that didn't work out, it's a relief to move on.

Imagine enduring over half a decade of Dave Blunts allegations, Ben Simmons work ethic, and a Whiteboy Summer of Moriah 'Wuornos' Mills, only to finally cave and liquidate right before the meteoric Aaron Hernandez/Rae Carruth pump.

Man, that's dark.

I was thinking more of a White Goodman storyline arc:

I'm hoping for a transition to a captain america super serum user arc where Zion wears some sort of vibranium suit, plying his trade as a soldier of fortune on the battlegrounds of Ukraine. He was dunking basketballs and now he's dunking T72s with his bare hands.

I dunno, this is just like most popcorn movies. Almost no internal character development, sent from a personal crisis to front lines to save the world.

Unfortunately the SlimFast phase has initiated a tsumani of fresh BlackCupid attention that he'll never be able to kick.

Javaris Crittenton is a far more likely scenario at this point.


I miss the old Al Roker...

I for one am glad I sold all of my Zion pulls his RC release. Even without this dark cloud, I was never a believer and was happy to make some nice cash. Hate that this has happened for his victims and their families.
