I was going to lump him in with Gary V, glad someone else did. That guy is a whole other discussion, I don't even understand why he has a booth at the National. His brand is the litmus for the industry, conjuring up nonsense cards and building rarity into them, trying to establish a value for them. It is laughable, and yet brilliant as people are invested in it. Sports cards, non-sport cards, and even Pokemon (I hate myself for saying that), at least have a connection to something tangible, his Vee Friends have nothing but lame illustrations an understanding of the current market.
I can appreciate his positive messages that he pushes on the business side, but like everything else, the almighty dollar is pushing the biz, to quote Tommy Callahan, "Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time." Sub out TRENDY with guaranteed and you have the Gary V business model.
