I simply do not understand Modern - Doncic vs Mantle

[Goudey77]

It’s a lot sexier to have a hot commodity that is active and can present volatility based on their current greatness. It’s always been the saving grace for modern card collecting. Vintage is like owning real estate. Modern is your crypto

I think Cars is a better comparison. The Modern market, wants to show off the latest Bugatti, Lamborghini, etc

The Vintage would rather showoff a Bizzarini or a Ferrari 250 GT California

I like the example Martin used better. Crypto could be worthless tomorrow just like a modern card. That Lambo and Bugatti are not going to lose 99.9% of their value like 99.9% of modern cards.

Do love me some exotic cars though.

Very True. And don't get me started on some of the classics! I think if I was a millionaire all I would buy are cards and cars

I just watched Doncic play the Pacers and it's no wonder he plays well as many times as the refs let him get away with walking. A LOT of players could be better than they currently are if they got away with what Doncic did tonight.....

Yup. He's been given that treatment since entering the league, too.

The refs do not let Doncic get away with anything, let alone walking. It is well known that they are overly harsh on him. The refs HATE Doncic. He complains way too much. He's one of the biggest complainers in the league. The refs are out to get him. This is a well known fact to anyone who pays attention to the NBA today. It's one of his biggest criticisms and probably the biggest flaw in his game.

The entire league "walks" with the ball nowadays. At least if you're coming at it from prior standards. Just watch Giannis euro step his way to the rim with ONE dribble from half court (literally). They've gotten pretty liberal with the definition of traveling. It's just how the game is played today.

I appreciate both of your insights. I had no idea there was a zebra conspiracy to make Luka look good. Are there others too on the referees' player improvement list? Please keep us informed as this develops, it could be big.
