The social media element to the card market is huge and all of the people referenced have taken to it and just made them more desirable.

Did you even read my post? Nobody on Blowout had ever seen those cards before his TikTok video. People bought boxes and cases of cards trying to hit those cards, and that guy had them in his house the whole time. You can even see cards in the video that were supposed to be sent to other players to be signed, and they only have his autograph on them...
I realize it sets off a feeding frenzy; that doesn't mean that he's doing the right thing by STEALING HIS OWN CARDS FROM THE COMPANY. Panini should sue him. That would bring even more publicity to this raucous card market! And now the video has been taken down.

I read your post.

Honestly I don't know the backstory on the situation and saw the video the other day and it just reinforced that cards were going to keep going crazy.

If he stole the cards that is between him and Panini. I don't collect them but there are some wrestling autographs from the late 90's from WCW where the guys didn't return them and some have found their way into the market and they just keep going up.

Not sure how Panini wouldn't know what cards they put in the packs. Sounds like some bad quality control if they released the product that has limited print run auto's that are numbered and didn't realize they failed to include one of the top stars.

Whatever the case may be when someone like him is creating content around cards it is just throwing gas on a fire.
