It's kind of weird Vegas Dave knew everything that was going to happen 3 years ago but only bought 1 Mike Trout card.

The dumbest buys I have ever seen are the Mantle for 5.2M, my Trout for 4M, Jordan 86 Fleers at 250-300k, Giannis at 1.5M, Lebron at 1.5M and f*cken Tatis at 250k.

I think this is exactly right.

Being a collector, I could not care less what Vegas Dave, whoever he is, thinks or predicts.

I guess he predicted a global pandemic too. Since that was the catalyst and sole reason for prices booming to the extent that they have....sure cards may have done well regardless, but it wouldn't have been anything like this past 10 months

My guess is after "Vegas Dave," whoever he is, watched the GameStop story unfold over the past few days, he got an itch to have the sportscard-investing spotlight shine on him.

Vegas Dave. Sounds like a real douche. I bet he does side gigs as an Elvis impersonator and talks to himself in the mirror.

Vegas Dave is a loser, wanna be tout. He made a fortune by ripping off others. Pump and Dump is right. Someone needs to dump this chump.

The sports card market has been crashing since I started in 1979. I hope it keeps crashing just like it has been.

His delivery is poor, but I don't disagree when it comes to the sector of our market thriving on generated rarity or exorbitant amounts associated with graded cards. I might lean towards not agreeing on iconic issues or cards like the 52T Mantle, Wagner, etc.. Nothing riding on my prediction other than being told I'm stupid. If I were in his shoes I would not predict my own future in such a dark manner.

I didn't just LOL, I snorted.

On topic: As someone who is just trying to secure cards for a collection, I'll wait to buy my Ruth, Wagner and Cobb. Dave will make me a deal in 36 mos.

He had WAY more than one. I believe he had multiple oranges and at least one red.

VD is an idiot. You can’t put Jordan/Mantle in same category as Giannis and Tatis. He was pumping David Carr a few months ago and is now salty he’s out of the market that is booming.

The market WILL settle or level off at some point but a crash is not imminent nor expected.

If it crashes, it just means I can buy a lot of nice stuff. Cheap. Well, cheaper.

The guy who bought the Mantle said he really wanted one ever since he was a kid collecting, so I don't know that his purchase fits the VD 'investment' plan. Once a guy like that gets hold of a card like that odds are you have to pry it from his cold, dead fingers.

How many of us are. I'm not rich like that guy but I'm not selling my 52 mantle at low grade.

Irrespective of Vegas Dave's opinion, I still think cards are a better long term investment than GameStop.
