Geoff is a wealthy individual.

What do you think he’s sharing with his children about money over family dinner?

I imagine a lot to do with low-cost index funds, real estate, etc.

People like this move differently in private.

He’s here to sell five products: market movers, CardsHQ, the WhatNot live streams, SCI YouTube channel, and the Geoff Wilson Podcast YouTube channel.

That’s 5 income streams from cards alone. Idk which are profitable and which are being kept alive by the others, but that doesn’t matter.


He has built a brand and it’s here to stay.

He tells your kids to buy scrub quarterbacks that do not have a chance and I am sure he is telling his kids to do something way different with their generational wealth coming their way

Not to mention his wife seems to have been very successful in the social media/software space.

Good point.

I would bet 95%+ of their $ is into things not card related.

It is likely with private wealth management, equity in startups and established businesses, real estate, etc.

The problem is so many of his viewers are more likely to overextend into cards as alternative assets.

$100,000 for him is way different for your average hobby participant.

Yep. The rich get richer, and sometimes at the expense of the not so rich.

If he did use Covid funds to buy cards without any gov't retribution is an insult to all Americans.

wasn't this the company Goof was associated with and telling everyone to buy and pumping them to death?

https://www.cllct.com/sports-collect...-items-hostage

nobody could have lost in that...reminds me of another rich clown face in the industry after given out loans on "ass"ets. Then bolted, then got divorced. Brent Mastro and Betsy Rubble. If we live long enough, that how this Goof saga ends.

I find his YouTube videos to be entertaining up to a point, and continue to be dumbfounded at the values of 'shiny stuff' due to artificially limited supplies. The company that invented/exploited 'chase' cards deserves all the money it's made.

What point is that, the 15 second mark?

Topps had them in the 1960s (earlier?) but Upper Deck ruined the hobby with them in I think 1989.

And please tell me you played bass in AC/DC...

Chase cards go back to at least 1889 with Spaulding & Merrick. Card number 20 in their N384/N386 series of actresses and pugilists is probably a chase card that does not survive, and it definitely is an intentional chase card for their N385 series of animals. If all 24 animals were turned in, the smoker received a watch as advertised on the backs.

They may go back further, but is the first intended chase card I am aware of off the top.
