Yeah...16 and 6 ain't gonna get it done. I don't care how talented your team is, the next greatest superstar in the world shouldn't be getting 12 and 6 in a game.

Your hate is strong.. 5 celtics had 10+ shots .. 68 total.. Jayson had 9.

Tough night, especially with the Fox TD

Why are people being so short-term on Tatum? It’s a long season and they’re going to make the playoffs. That’s where the real money is going to be made on his cards.

Guys like Fox, Jackson, etc. who won't be in the playoffs, be short term with them...sell on highs and don't look back. With the playoff guys like Tatum, it's best to hold until the end of the season.

Fortunate to hit this in my Flawless box. The other box is back at the shop, should I even bother with the other box? I figure this would be the case hit and the other box would probably have a Durant auto/25 or similar in it..Keeping it by the way, NFS:

Sick card!

You're already way ahead, so I would go back and see what's in the other box. Sure, it could be a skunk, but half of box busting is the "fun" part, right?

Love the Green on Green. The encased hit may be weak in the other box, but who knows what is lurking in the pack part. I would probably hold off though.

Just sell your Tatum's and move on my man, that way you don't have to worry about it anymore and feel compelled to post (bash) every single time you feel he had a bad game..I invested (1 big card) in Tatum and have zero expectations for this year...Like others have said, he's long term due to the way the team is constructed..

minnesotachill · 11-02-2018, 09:44 AM

If I had a lot invested in Tatum, I would consider selling while the prices are high and buy down the road when they are cheap.

I've often done that with my Durants. His cards will spike around playoff time, and I'll buy the same card back a month later at half the price.

I do agree that his prices will be heading down even more. Scoring is very high this year, and he hasn't been putting up big numbers that the rest of the league is.

People just feel compelled to post/bash, just the way it is...Either they invested due to the hype alone without even having a full knowledge of his situation and they expected him to average 20+ pts per game or even 25+ game and just take over this season or they just take pride on bashing on people who did because they feel the hype isn't justified...

Well, I'm holding my Tatum cards until the playoffs. No sense to sell when we are so early in the season.

Great points, but you have to understand most or a lot people who invested in Tatum were not expecting for him to take over this year, etc. I didn't, that's for sure...It would have been foolish not to take his situation into consideration prior to buying his stuff....So, for a lot of people, it's just a long term project...

Regarding Durant (my favorite player), man I wish his Exquisite RPA can be had at half price or much cheaper at certain times!!! I know you weren't talking about this particular Durant card, was just wishing as I really really want one

RogerGodahell · 11-02-2018, 11:24 AM

As strictly a fan of the Celtics and Tatum this is good news for me. His cards are so expensive right now. If they come down some i will be happy. As far as his skill and ability nothing has changed there, it's a deep team.

Anish · 11-02-2018, 12:36 PM

He's shooting a lower percentage than expected, but otherwise is right on track. 18 pts 8 rbs would be a solid season and he will likely get there as his shooting stabilizes.

This is Kyrie's team and there are 5 other guys taking 10 shots a game. I think anyone investing in Tatum should do so because he has the potential to be a key piece in championships over the next decade not because he's going to score 25 a game any time soon.

Since this is Kyrie's team and he will theoretically be leading the team to championships over the next decade, would that nake him the better investment? His cards are arguably more affordable than Tatum.

Well, there are a couple factors here:
1) Kyrie's RC's are in a Cavs uni and that lowers the desirability significantly.
2) This will probably be Tatum's team in about 5 years (when he is 25 and Kyrie is 31) and Tatum may well be the one to factor in more titles; I don't think they will win anything until GS's dominance ends anyway. In other words, I could see them winning once or twice with Kyrie as the top player and another couple times with Tatum. This is of course the "best case" scenario.

Sometimes you have to trust your eyes...In my case, though it's just one card i've invested in, I trust my eyes..They have rarely failed me

...Eye test tells me he's already close and will be so much better than Kyrie to go along with my other more important reasons I've already mentioned earlier in this thread..

You either don't watch him and just go by hype, prices, and stats or you do watch him and you don't like what you see, which is perfectly fine...So, just don't be a buyer and don't worry about asking all these questions, etc. You shouldn't ask us to try and convince you if should buy or not, or if the hype is justified or not.. You gotta trust your eye, knowledge and instincts, that's all...We don't all see, think and feel the same way...

Tatum is closer than you think...I would put a lot that this will be Tatum's team sooner than 5 years...Guy is only 20 on a stacked team with 3 bench players who come in chucking, lol!!

RogerGodahell · 11-02-2018, 01:36 PM

There's a lot of talent on the Celtics and they all want to score. It's understandable they get paid based on performance. Marcus Morris is a good example he loves to shoot the ball and rarely passes. When he gets the ball he's gonna shoot 9/10 times. They're also fighting for playing time because they're so deep. Tatum is more unselfish as a player and is willing to pass. Though recently he's been taking some bad shots because he's trying to score and forcing some bad shots. It's tough sometimes when all these guys want to score and at times they're forcing it trying to get theirs. I guess he could be more selfish and take more shots but i don't think that's how he's wired.

Tatum is a downright stud. I don't own any of his cards because Boston is an equal opportunity employer. Everyone gets shots and they have a different leading scorer everynight. What does the hobby love? Scorers...that score points...a lot.

See Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, Durant and Steph

Yep, he'll get his opportunity eventually. They won't be able to pay all these guys in a few years and they'll have to move some of them or lose them in free agency. There's no denying his talent though, that's pretty evident.

sigmachi · 11-02-2018, 02:34 PM

I traded a whole bunch of Prizm and Optic of last years rookies for this blue prizm Tatum last week to a guy on here. He seemed happy and I'm happy

dasiegel · 11-02-2018, 03:26 PM

did someone above say prices are coming down? lol. ugh, where? dude is a beast. his cards are long term holds, not this year's playoffs or sooner.

deemsterz33 · 11-02-2018, 03:53 PM

Looking back on the history of Duke NBA players, Grant Hill, Kyrie, and Elton Brand are the only players to even scratch stardom in the league. Hoping Tatum can change that.
