Vegas Dave: The Sports Card Market will Collapse in 24-36 Months

Of course, no one knows whether Vegas Dave is right or not. Kind of tough to predict the future. It would not surprise me at all if there were some 'correction' in values down the road. To me as a collector, the answer has always been to buy what I like to own and look at. If the cards increase in value, good. If not, that's ok too.

To paraphrase and bastardize the great Ned Beatty as Senator Meachum in 'Shooter':

‘The truth is what I say it is’

‘It's not really as bad as it seems. It's all gonna be done in any case. You might as well be on the side that gets you well paid for your efforts. There are no sides. There’s no collectors and investors. There's only haves and have-nots. And nobody questions the Desert Douchebag, because they don't want to hear the answer because it's a lie! There's only so many places at the table, so sell out now and you can walk away with something.

I followed him on IG for a bit, but he just got to be too much for my liking. When he would try and hype up Derek Carr cards as the next big thing he lost all credibility with me.

I don't know all the specifics, but he had been living in his parent's basement for a while. He was dating Holly Sonders and instead of shacking up with her he made the decision to stay away from her and concentrate on his sports betting gig.

Bidder Up: In 2018, Vegas Dave paid $400,000 for a signed Mike Trout rookie card. In August, he auctioned it for nearly $4 million. ... Instead of being convicted of nearly twenty felonies, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, forfeited half a million dollars, and was banned from Las Vegas sportsbooks for three years.Sep 4, 2020
