Dude also broke a record a while back for highest card ever sold when he bought a Luca Doncic. My suggestion is not to invest money with this guy. As someone once said (maybe Mark Twain or Yogi Berra), the easiest way to have a small fortune is to waste away a large fortune..... See link immediately below

As a previous restaurant owner it sounds like another piece of aged wisdom...

The easiest way to make a million dollars in the restaurant business is to start out with two million.

A reporter asked a Rancher who had just won the lottery, “what are you going to do with all that money?”

The Rancher thought for a moment and said, “Well, I guess I’ll just keep ranchin’ till it’s all gone...

That line has also been used with owning a racecar for as long as I can remember.

Yeah there was something incestuous and off about that one. Luka Doncic indeed, no disrespect intended to Luka who is quite a good young player but a LONG way from anyone knowing his place in history.

Are rich people now wanting high end sports cards as a status symbol? Similar to Rolex’s and sports cars.

If so, good for them but bad for the average collector.

Fits well with Wall St. guys buying PSA.

[QUOTE=ullmandds;2124315]wonder what this means for armpit cards like I collect???? Just give them a blast of Right Guard. They will be fine.

The market opened about 700 points down this morning. Many Wall Street pundits are predicting a major correction in equities. If so, card prices should decline, especially modern basketball.

Some prices are inherently not legitimate.

It should also be noted that rich businessmen didn't become rich by overpaying by 3x. They likely are more savvy and prudent about such purchases than the average person.

Great for the average collector if we can sell our cards for 30x.
