I’ve also said the Ichiro run would cost under $4K to buy when the Baller Ichiro was selling for $4.5K. Can buy one right now for $3.5K. AlexHunter wanted to take me up and has my cell, but oddly never texted me to finalize.

I’m a man of my word, you can ask ninja. Anybody is welcome to take me up on it.

I also would like you to find my Ermsy Trout for $100 comment.

Got $2.5K locked and loaded for any member of your choosing to get an Ermsy Trout or the charity. Don’t let the forum down man! I haven’t commented toooooo much.

Well below 2.5 K already, I saw a post in the BST thread on here for $1975 then back up to $2050

Some definite softening in prices across the spectrum today. This was sorely needed. Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, it will help stabilize things.

Don't mess with this guy. According to one of his posts in another thread:

I turned a boatload of $1 base cards (1997 Metal Universe, 2012 Prizm, 2016 and 2018 Optic) into a 2015 Giannis Galactic with ease.

With ease!

Peteybass · 05-28-2020, 11:26 PM

Im still buying. Grabbed 2 GWYNN NATUREL 2319 print run $300 each...

Now that's a solid investment, sealed wax long term over trying to day trade P2020 SP's.

What i've done and still do is put 4 of them in your cart and when the new 2 pack drops add it as well and checkout and you should have no problem

Example...Assuming you're talking about this weeks releases Put the Mo/Ripken and Jeter/Gwynn in your cart anytime before the new release comes out and then will Friday's releases drop (Not sure who they are yet) pick them up as well and you have all 6

It's always worked for me so you should have no problem...Doesn't really matter what time zone your on either

But the question is, is anyone really going to pay 20K for that card?

Why not do both?...I've been doing both and have done quite well so far (Knock on wood!)

I feel I'm at the Bellagio over here.

Try to enjoy yourself.
Shoot, maybe buy a P2020 card tomorrow at msrp. You might like it.

Good to know, there was an hour window this week with all 6 cards up on the timers I noticed.

Not 20k but he does have a best offer option so i could see someone offering 10K-15K

I stopped collecting baseball in the mid-aughts. This drew me back.

I luckily got in early and was able to acquire almost all of the first 20 -- most with dupes.

I've still got 17 of the first 20 and a dupe or two left, as well as some in the 20 and 30 range and dupes of all the Shores, the only artist set I'm going to complete.

However, with all of the early numbered duplicates I sold -- which I thankfully made a pretty substantial return on -- I re-invested into Durant rookie Gems which I've been putting off and some Giannis #d heat: safer vehicles, or, at the very least, hedged bets.

It was never my intent to flip these. I found some that caught my eye and bought them because they were visually pleasing and a change of pace in a world of way-too-expensive-wax.

I got lucky. I cannot stress this enough.

Lucky, you hear me?

Current tally:

$3,800 spent.

$10,600 sold.

Still on hand: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 (x2), 15, 16 (x2), 17, 18, 19 (x2), 20, 22, 23, 27 (x2), 28, 29, 38.

Pre-ordered, not arrived: 54 (x3), 72 (x8), 86 (x8)

Would you elaborate please? I'm nervous because I paid $888 for a Mays Thiele and the value keeps dropping with fools selling the cards at 600 or less

Skunkbush · 05-28-2020, 11:30 PM

GeechQuest is the guy sitting in the corner of the craps table betting $5 on Do Not Pass line. He just wants to watch the world burn.

Same, I wish I grabbed those 2011 Update Jumbos that were just sitting at my LCS for months. Couldn't give them away.

I absolutely did! Thank you Geoff for pushing the bass card revolution.

I octo-vouch for GQ. Good peoples and a man of his palabra.

At the end of the day, we're all just speculating, but he's been pretty A1 with his financial breakdowns and forecasts on the bkb side.

I love you all regardless...the journey's been as fun as the seismograph price fluctuations regardless how this ends. <3
