Highly anticipated triple logoman was 50% off
 

Highly anticipated Lebron James triple Logoman only sold fro $2.4Mil. Ouch... I thought there was a $5Mil bounty to find the card.

A what?

Maybe it's connected to the decline in Bitcoin values?

An ultra-modern basketball card with three pieces of fabric and three tiny images of LeBron James.

I believe this is the card:

Almost 3m for a new card still seems like a lot of money to me.
.

Man, I could build such a beautiful pre-war collection for that kind of money.

It’s all in the thread count

Those have to be the tiniest images of the subject in card history.

Not if you have 3 billion.

Here's a larger image of the multi-million dollar card:

I believe they're smaller than 1950 Topps Feltback images...and that's saying something.

You could buy 300 Jackie well made pants for that amount of money!

Those well made pants have a lower thread count

Why is LeBron only an Authentic?

The pants were cropped!
.

At actual size there is no way anyone over 40 could even make out those images lol.

The Lakers patch doesn't look like fabric.

It looks like an iron-on. LOL

Why "ouch?" This is an 18th year non-signed card of LeBron and it went for $2.4M ... is that supposed to be a fail?

The hype on this card was ridiculous.

A One-of-a-Kind LeBron James Card Could Be the Most Expensive Ever Sold at Auction
The Panini Triple Logoman could sell for more than $6.6 million.

Wonder what happens to this card's value if Lebron ever joins a 4th team and they make a new card with all 4 logomen.

For such an expensive card, you'd think they could make the lettering on his name look less blurred. ;) :D

Ugly card nuff said

Sheesh, couldn't even shill it.

We should be talking about the Ruth rookie that sold for half a mil in that ridiculous PSA case where it can just float around like a duck on a pond. PSA slabs like that are a total joke and they should be embarrassed.

Amazing card, just not holdered in that fashion

Bill

Would be the same case as Tom Brady's "last ball"

Huge pet peeve of mine.

Yup! Definitely one of the reasons....

However, i think this 1952 Topps complete set was a steal. $74K

A lot of stuff went rather low in his auction last night.

Goldin advertised this card as the most important modern card, and the holy grail of the card hobby. A bit of humble pie looks good on them. This card is trash, and it's nice to see the market didn't fall for their advertising blitz.

stupid question but what is the logo even from? His shorts? Bottom of jersey? Part of his athletic supporter? Honestly no idea.

Oh wow. Seems like a great pickup.

Yeah, I just don’t see it. I mean $2m is nothing to sneeze at but it’s arguably the second best player of all time at best (which is amazing but still) and not even signed.

Whoever bought it (might be a group of people) clearly can afford it without breaking a sweat. An "investment" no doubt. The whole concept of the card strikes me as innane.

I'd comfortably say with the degree of derision the card got from many people it will never sell for a profit. But more likely someone will find this post in 10 years and mock me for being an idiot.

Buyer(s) could have bought all of these instead and kept 1.5M for a rainy day.

Or it will pop up on eBay later this week with an 8 mil BIN and "🔥 INVEST 🔥 PSA 10?"

Will be interesting to see how much funny money in the hobby dries up as bitcoin and almost everything else swoons.

Bitcoin will eventually be exposed as the greatest money laundering tool of all time or I will will eat my hat. Government will likely turn a blind eye to it (too complicated) and instead continue to focus on money laundering by pizza places on the Jersey shore and, well, laundry joints. The big fish.

Who were the bidders? Who was the winner? Is the winner in any way connected to the seller? Are the winner and seller in any way connected to the auction house?

This looks like a scam to inflate values.

oh ya...I must've missed all the reminders I set for this highly anticipated pre WAR baseball card auction event.

The M101-4 Ruth was a record, shattering a different recent psa sale by well over $150k. All the Ruth stuff in Goldin last night did very very well. And the HOF t206s in Heritage all brought strong, if not consistent, results.

Joe Jackson polo grounds went stronger than I wanted on heritage.

I ended up picking up tickets to 1980 usa hockey. Paid more for the gold medal game ticket than the Russia ticket. Same condition. Makes no sense.

Wonder if that was because so many people think the Russia game was for the gold medal.

Very possible.

Who in their right mind would pay 2.4 million for the ugliest most useless card ever made. A fool and his money are soon parted.

1948 Bowman Rizzuto called and said it’s uglier than the Lebron.

1927 Exhibit Lazzeri could chase them both up a tree

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...%20Lazzeri.jpg

My nomination would be those cards that are "infield dirt" relics with a crappy picture that has the team logo photoshopped out because they don't have the license.

Such a poorly designed card, you could have done so much with it if was a postcard size card. It looks more like an homage to the Jerry West logo with tiny pics of LJ squeezed in as an afterthought.

Sorry if someone answered my prior question. Why Authentic?

I could be wrong but my guess is that the submitter didn't want it to say "9" so they went with an "A only" request.

Probably because the logos are not evenly and consistently seated in their slots. Which goes toward proving how stupid the whole thing is anyway.

Just by making the orientation vertical, and I think there was room, they could have had much larger images of LeBron. But the people bidding on this don't care, I assume, about the aesthetics.

I don't know if we'll see a trend, but for what they are -- among the very few career Joe Jackson issues none of which are easy to find -- the playing card issues have always struck me as relatively undervalued.

ya...the design on a lot of this stuff is an abomination...my sister, who is an excellent graphic designer, could do much, much better!

And at what point does thickness factor into what makes a card...a card? Or doesn't it matter? Some of these newer "premium" cards are like 1/8" thick????

i'd guess it's altered...as many newer basketball cards are. Which if it is... to alter a 1/1...is just stoopid!

But many are stoopid (crazy for cocoa puffs) when it comes to "10's."

I watched a ton of breaks of modern cards and one of the funniest things to me is when people go insane "winning" a "LAUNDRY TAG" relic card. People are frothing at the mouth how lucky they are to win the 1/10 Trevor Lawrence "LAUNDRY TAG". Always makes me chuckle. . . . .congrats . . . .amazing win . . . you now own a tag that was possibly cut out from another guy's worn underwear. Something to cherish indeed. A family relic to be passed down from one generation to the next.

Peter is asking a good question here and I think a lot of people are overlooking this part.

PSA has given some of these logoman cards numerical grades in the past. Why does this one not have it? If it had graded a PSA 10 GEM MINT, then do you think the final price would have been 2.4M? Another way of looking at it is this: a 1952 Topps Mantle PSA AUTHENTIC example is going to sell for much less than a PSA 5 EX or a PSA 7 NM, right?

Yeah, no shit! You hit that one dead on. Even with the escalation in prices, $3M would still build a nice collection. If you weren't going for primo grade stuff, you could have a lot of nice cardboard (oh yeah, with all the plastic that goes around it these days).

Or you could just wipe your ass with it.

Why would anyone prefer A to 9??

I think its purely psychological.

This is a 1/1 so whatever grade it gets, there won't be a higher or lower grade. If it grades a 10, people will pay a lot more for it. If it grades an 8 (and PSA is very tough on thicker cards/jersey/relic cards), I think it might lose some of its luster. Grading it an A kind of splits the difference, because you as a buyer dont have any idea if there are surface issues or anything else wrong with the card when you are buying it.

For a 1/1, I think the idea -from a submitter who intends to sell it immediately- would be that while a 9 discloses that the card is somehow imperfect, an A does not.

It gets Brady'd...

and no autograph smh...

According to posters on blowout, the breaker who opened the card initially was rumored to have dropped it, damaging a corner. So the card might have graded a PSA 6, in which case, the owner requested it get an AUTH grade rather than a number.

reverse psychology?

Dropped it? Wow. That’s like a $2mm fumble.

What are they saying on blowout about the price and what that says for the state of things?

On the other hand, Goldin hyped an uggo POS made a few months ago into a big payday, regardless of whether it is $2.4 or $5.0. He's got us talking about it and about his AH, so from a PR standpoint the sale was a rousing success. Now, whether the buyer is going to profit is another story, but I want lots more shiny, expensive trinkets to distract the monied 'bros. As far as I am concerned, let all the 'bros buy all the shiny crap and stay out of vintage...at least until I am ready to sell.

Damage to the patch window is my understanding.

no! Not the patch window!!!!!

I thought it was called "the hole"

Damage near one of the patches is what caught my attention. It certainly doesn't look like this would occur from being dropped accidentally.

A box of these cards. And I use the term box very loosely, contained 10 cards each and they went for 15K a box. Drake (whoever the hell he is) bought 14 boxes for a miserly sum of over 200K looking for that card and came up empty. Wonder if he threw all of those 140 cards away?

Christ on a crutch, Panini, as well as other manufacturers are making a mockery of the word hobby.

Ugh,

Butch

I must be slow, but I still don’t get what these patches are. Are they from game used uniforms or ? One of them looks pretty shabby - is that good or bad? I’ll go back to the 60 ‘s now . . .

Even the print on Le Bron James looks likes crap. Or I am developing a vision disorder.

Really pretty comical all around. Not that I wouldn't mind accepting 2 million from someone.

IMO owning it is an ego thing, it's pissing farther than your fellow crypto Instagramers, it doesn't really matter what the card LOOKS like. Maybe if Logan Paul won it he can laminate it and wear it around his neck like he did a million dollar Pokémon card.

So, if you were to cut the little logoman off of the back of this card and then encapsulate it as “the logoman from the rare Labron James triple logoman card”, would it be worth even more money? This hobby gets sillier every day.

Not exactly sure but I believe they are cut from the top portion of each jersey he wore from each team. Jerry West should be getting some sort of a commission for each of those images too. ;-)

Game used??? Probably…

Butch…

If there was a NFT of this card I'd happily pay $3 million for it. Just sayin.
