Thanks! Can't believe I got them all.just saw your kobe thread on BO, p.
good stuff!
It's fukking BASE cards now not even inserts or boxes.More hobby shenanigans all of these you tubers are pumping 90s inserts and hobby boxes....im buying what i want right now fukk all these "speculators"
I been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Shai/Trae silver prizm i been waiting to see if prices will drop in the coming weeks....I have some nice cards from both but i dont have the silzer prizm for either...
Trae i got his Base optic,shock holo,panini status and hoops cards all PSA 10
Shai i got his base optic and SS prizm PSA 10 and contender auto raw.
Still need a biggie from both guys...im hesitant to pull the trigger now in case we start seeing some sellers get desperate in a month...
Im also looking at Morant silver prizms...
@Regular_P
at 500-700.00 whats ur preference Trae or Morant.
I have seen about a dozen Trae silvers PSA 10 i have seen 0 Morant silvers PSA 10.
Every Ja i have seen is a BGS 9.5 and most of them are not gems cuz theres a centering issue.
I have always considered true BGS 9.5 gems to be all 9.5 subgrades or higher,i dont know if thats shared opinion.
If im paying 750.00 for one it has to be all 9.5 subgrades for me.
The way card things have been going, today's prices are tomorrow's bargains. My instinct is the same as yours but I've been forcing myself to pull the trigger more often because prices just keep going up.
I wanted to buy a 2003 Upper Deck LeBron PSA 10 like a month or two ago and they were $400. Now they're $750+ and an auction just went for over $1,000. Kicking myself now... If you really want a Trae, I say bite the bullet and get one now. No telling what the prices will look like in a few months. Things just explode out of the blue now.
Here's a Ja PSA 10 Silver for auction: 2019 Panini Prizm Silver #249 Ja Morant RC Gem Mint PSA 10 | eBay
Saw a couple BINs a little over $1,000. Prizm is a tougher grade this year. I agree with the all 9.5 subs being true gems. I've become a stickler for that as well, especially for cards that are a little more common.
Personally, I think Ja's a better player than Trae and more conducive to winning, plus he's a spectacular athlete. The thing with Trae though is he has monster stats. If the Hawks start winning next season, his prices will skyrocket. Between the two, Trae has more room to grow since Morant is already priced higher.

IN terms of investment im undecided on whos better long term,yea i think Ja could turn out to be a better all around player but Trae could win multiple scorinmg titles and that would probably vault him in terms of the hobby...Even tho i see prices going up i still cant believe its going to continue which is why i havent pulled the trigger.I have the reverse scenario in my mind where i pay 800.00 today and its 450 next month when this shyt gets worse and people need to liquidate there collections...I cant believe the prices are gonna keep going up if the economy continues to bottom out...
You mean the UD star rookies jawn ? I was looking at one a year ago when it was at 300.00 I should have pulled the trigger.I didnt cuz i was holding out for a Topps chrome and it never happened because the prices kept soaring,missed out on both.
I kick myself for alot of missed opportunites in the last year and a half
Even his UD MVP RC prices are skyrocketing
What da fukk is going on ? These cards were going for 100.00 a few months ago Jeeezus!
Pop reports can be really useful to see what's next to get big. While everyone focuses on Chrome/Prizm, there's something out there more condition sensitive and rarer that's massively undervalued until people start to branch out.-2018 Trae silver prizm/optic holo
-2018 Shai silver prizm
-2019 Ja silver prizm/optic holo
-2007 KD topps finest refractor
those are my wants that im gonna knock down 1 by 1...
Its funny how the pop reports affect ur buying.
