I feel like investors in certain action houses from Dec-March may have pushed many cards to their limits hoping suckers came in and out bid them, if they didn’t they bought back the cards by splitting the cost amongst each other, often relisting them or fractionalizing them. Many bought into this Bs and believed the Uber inflated numbers as real sales remember think Rickey Henderson Rook Jordan Rookie many more. A raising tide raises all boats, only if you sold, did any of you guys get these numbers for your cards ?? Highly unlikely. It has been my belief these investors made their monies on the under cards same exact card a grade or two lower.

I want a Jordan but it was painfully obvious the prices weren’t sustainable. I’m pretty sure the money being spent wasn’t coming out of the pockets of long time collectors either.

They’re supposed to be making a Last Dance style series for Jeter. Enterprising hobby vets may want to start buying SPs and signed rookies now.

Seems suspiciously quick to me, but then again, based on PWCC's flawless rep, I am likely just over thinking things?

I've seen that happen before, but thought that it happens when the sale is then cancelled after the fact.


The winner and the seller agree to cancel the sale for whatever reason. Then it also disappears from history.

I still don't know what an "NFT" is and don't care. I'll stick with cards.

Think of NFTs as fiat currency that is backed by the hopes and dreams of nerds who have read Atlas Shrugged.

If all nerds have hopes and dreams, then have all nerds have read Atlas Shrugged?
If I've read Atlas Shrugged (I have), do I have hopes and dreams or am I a nerd?
Is Atlas Shrugged only read by nerds who have hopes and dreams?
Can I have hopes and dreams and not be a nerd, even though I've read Atlas Shrugged?
Is John Galt a nerd?
Has John Galt read Atlas Shrugged even though he is in it?
Is John Galt a hope or a dream?
If I don't know NFTs and I've read Atlas Shrugged, what am I?
Where is John Galt when I need him?

It is some fiction stuff that has some non fiction backing, or something like that. And you have to do block chain ethereum stuff to pay for it,.. Whatever they are there are 735 NFT sports cards on sale right now on the bay. Have at it.

It's like buying a card and leaving it in the PWCC "Vault" except the vault doesn't actually exist.

On MLB's Beat the Streak, I won a free pack of cards on Topps Bunt. I had no idea what Topps Bunt is, but a free pack of cards is a free pack of cards. So I had to download the app and go through the registration process, and redeemed my prize. Basically it's a digital "pack" that opens itself and you click on one NFT card to go to the next. I was all excited because I got this Shohei Ohtani. That lasted about two seconds, until I realized, "What the hell am I going to do with this?!"

The lyric has changed from "Ken Goldin, Ken Goldin, look at the cards that he's holdin'" to:

"Ken Goldin, Ken Goldin, look at the the NFT Pepe the Frog Wagner he's not holdin'".
