Highly anticipated triple logoman was 50% off

A what?

Peter_Spaeth 06-25-2022 09:24 PM

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.

Casey2296 06-25-2022 09:37 PM

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

mrreality68 06-25-2022 09:37 PM

It’s all in the thread count

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

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

Carter08 06-25-2022 10:03 PM

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?

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.

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?

prestigecollectibles 06-26-2022 12:29 AM

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

Sheesh, couldn't even shill it.

fkm_bky 06-26-2022 05:56 AM

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

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

Yup! Definitely one of the reasons....

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

Johnny630 06-26-2022 06:21 AM

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

skelly423 06-26-2022 06:53 AM

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.

Snapolit1 06-26-2022 07:09 AM

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

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.

Snapolit1 06-26-2022 07:30 AM

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?"

Snapolit1 06-26-2022 07:37 AM

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.

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.

Carter08 06-26-2022 07:55 AM

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.

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.

Casey2296 06-26-2022 09:51 AM

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.

Peter_Spaeth 06-26-2022 09:52 AM

Sorry if someone answered my prior question. Why Authentic?
