Video - The 10 Biggest Sportscard Value Drops Since Prices Peaked 2 Years Ago

There is a much different audience for basketball today than there was when Bill Russell or Michael Jordan were playing basketball. I would say this generation of fans are definitely not against LeBron or his opinions.

By the way, who is the most iconic active American athlete in the world today? In my opinion it is LeBron James. I don't even know who I'd consider second. The entire world knows his name and basketball is now a worldwide sport in ways it never was before.

Do you have any idea how many articles on the Internet basically read "why is LeBron James the most disliked player in basketball". Many. Many. Many. It's bizarre but true.

True, but even with all the detractors he is probably still the most iconic figure today. Woods seems a bit past the peak of his iconic status. Messi?

My choice would be Tiger Woods, and it’s not even close

IMO there's an argument to made for that but the worldwide popularity of basketball puts LeBron over the top.

I see $100K+ being spent on some of that stuff and laugh. Holy cow, look at how much nice vintage you could get for $100K.

Oldest card was an '86 and several cards in the video were in the last 10 years.

I suppose it's all relative. If people have the money to piss away, then great, I hope they keep that money on the new and shiny and away from the vintage market.
