Many of you here know who Gary Vaynerchuk is. Last year, he was pumping up sports cards like crazy and prices reached all-time highs. Since then, he has moved on to NFTs. I still don't know what the hell they are. Anyways, when I saw that PSA graded his drawings, I just couldn't help but LOL. Like, seriously??? And if you don't think that's messed up, then look at this below:

I really don't know what to make of all this, man! Have people gone insane??

I feel like Mr. Jones in the Dylan song.

Let other people understand this crap. I'd rather not.

One helluva elephant fresh from the slab lab.

What did the Passionate Parrot grade at? PSA 10? LOL! Would PSA grade my daughter's drawings, by the way?

I'm selling all my NFTs on Leon's new Non-Fungible BST section. I fully guarantee that you will not know what you have won, even after you win it and don't expect USPS to deliver it.

Cry your heart out Christies.:eek:

Seems like the current version of a Beanie Baby but with an even higher price tag. I'm glad I don't understand what this is. :rolleyes:

How long ago was this dude shamelessly pumping massively produced BKB rookies as the next big thing?

Wow
This is scary.
But if they grade it someone will buy it

I have been told that Net54baseball should have NFTs. It's not like I am into all that stuff but it's sort of interesting. I don't get it, but there's a lot of money supposedly. Next thing they would want us to do Instagram or Facebook or some such stuff...
The one interesting aspect is there is a possibility it could make it a more cohesive site, I am told, I just don't know how LOL


.

I'd rather have nft's(whatever they are) than Instagram or Facebook. Hang tough Leon!

I'll stick with tulip bulbs. At least you can plant them.

I think the way the forum operates now is fantastic. I do not think NFT's are built to last, I think it's a massive propped up scam. If needed I'd gladly donate to the site though. Can only imagine what costs are like to run this operation, Leon.

He played a huge role in destroying the basketball card hobby. Whatever he starts babbling about, his sheep will jump all over it!

?
 

Please stick with fungibles. I am too old to get up to speed on non-fungible tokens.

Major Sell Signal……Sell Sell Sell…

LOL guys.
It doesn't cost a whole lot to run the forum. Mostly it's time put in. Instead of Net54 NFTs I think we will go with Net54 pet rocks.

But there are some smart folks that really believe in that stuff. I am not personally there yet. :eek:
.

Nice lol.

Our culture loves this stuff. Amazing how we need influencers now to get through life. Whatever happened to just being you? Anyway, Gary will make another killing on this latest push and no shock that PSA got behind it. I am sure PSA would have done it for any of us had we had the brains to do what Gary V did.

This thing is actually in the Pop Report. WTF.

"Are you effin' kidding me, Jimmy, you little jerk!!!!!!!!!! Only graded AUTHENTIC????????!!!!!!!!!!! You better start doing better or you'll never get into a good college!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hey lay off the kid,
It’s better than that elephant scribble!

What a horrible woman! I feel sorry for her husband!

Anyways, I recently picked-up this beauty from Sotheby's.

The guy is a total snake oil salesman who preys on weak minds. Anyone who could look at that and pay a penny for it is a complete imbecile.

That PSA would actually put it in a slab is beyond me and calculated only to put more money in Gary V's pockets, as if he needs more. I assume Nat Turner had to approve this and to me it doesn't reflect well on his new leadership.

If PSA graded a drawing done by Mickey Mantle or Thomas Jefferson, then I would understand that. But Gary is a social media influencer and there are thousands out there like him. Will PSA start grading stupid drawings done by social media influencers now? Where do we draw the line? I agree with you, Peter. It's freaking ridiculous!

No, no, no, noooo..... NFT's are becoming and will continue to be so impactful in everyday life, it's CRAZY. We'll get past these stupid rocks being traded for $10,000's - it's about ownership and provenance. NFT's in the video game space are about to explode to levels that are unimaginable.... think about the possibility of taking your super cool weapon to any game within a platform (CoD, Fortnight, etc.) You own it, they make it possible by integrating NFT support and now my Leisure Suit Larry avatar is good in Fortnight! Sounds crazy to some, but blockchain and NFT technology will make it happen.

And when you're done with it, put it on the market and sell it!!!!

OK - back to cards! Anyone see that e92 Dockman Cy Young posted over in BST? It's 'only' a PSA 5 but a true thing of beauty!!

So PSA wouldn’t slab my trimmed 49 Jackie, but they slabbed a random guys stick figure drawing of an elephant.

Is this real life?
