This thread has gotten off the rails a bit. To bring it back home some - I have a 13 year old who is real into modern, especially basketball and football and he likes “busting wax”. He asked to make a deal that if he made honor roll, would I get him a “good” wax box of cards. I asked him what “good” meant, and he considers “good” to be $500+. I told him I would be very proud if he got honor roll but there is no way I am buying him a $500 lottery ticket. I told him I would get him a card - at least that way we know he had something, rather than a chance at something.

Based on this thread, and although I consider all modern effective lottery tickets, we got a Ja Morant card. He appears to be 20% of the price of Doncic and based on this thread, he appears to be better than 20% the player. I think it’s a waste, but if my kid studies harder, keeps developing a work ethic, and has scholastic success, then that’s enough upside for me
