Hello gang…Felt compelled to start a Jason Tatum thread…I’m very very high on Tatum but because of how the team is shaped, figured it would take a few years before we see him take over a team…But man, is it possible he can be the man on his team already..? Only 1 game, so way too early, but still encouraging from what I saw last night...

This is the best one I have. Only a few other base RCs....

This is my son's collection. Most were pack pulled. I send them in for grading because they wouldn't last otherwise. Haha.

5 more Tatum's are at PSA now including a Black Velocity /39.

He is not the #1 option on that team but he may force his way there or be the close #2. It is still Kyrie's team but man this kid looks smooth. Working with Kobe never hurts either.

More of a speculator, but I have these. Spent $185 total on both so I'm looking good. After what I saw last night I think I'll just hold em.

He is a second year player. The Celtics are positioned to make runs in the playoffs for the foreseeable future with their current team (and the possibility of 4 first round picks in the 2019 draft is scary.)

As such, Tatum doesn't need to be the #1 option on a stacked team. I think he will get there in the next few years though.

I agree with you. No need for him to be that. They are like the Warriors East.

I think if he keeps getting better, Kyrie will not like it and want to leave again. Hope they all get along and do some good things. Tatum looks like he hasn't missed a beat since last year.

Any reason I can to show this off I’ll happily take. He was the best player on the court last night and it wasn’t close. Made me feel stupid for even thinking about selling this.

Beautiful card! I saw it in the Buy/Sell and showed my son. He asked if I could buy it for him. Every 7 year old needs a $3k card in their collection right?

He's so freaking mature on the court for his age...He was slumping all pre-season and 1st game he plays that counts, boom...I love that about him!! I haven't seen this type of player since Grant Hill?? but Tatum already has an elite shot!! Hill came in to the league at 22 yrs old and Tatum is still only 20... I honestly haven't been this excited about a player since Durant...If he stays healthy, no question he is the real deal and great things are coming for years to come!! To think Lakers and Philly took Fultz and Lonzo, wow!!

Actually i read a long article today about how Kyrie doesn't wan't to be "the guy" his teammates said he's a completely different person then the media portrays. Kyrie himself said he doesn't care about stats as long as he's winning and they're playing good basketball. He said he felt a tremendous amount of pressure last year leaving CLE and thinking he had to "be the guy" but loves playing for the Celtics and their "team first" mentality and would love to stay here next year if the fans will have him. Brad Stevens is one the best coaches in basketball and emphasizes team ball and all the guys on the team love it.

As far as Tatum goes and his role going forward he'll be the #1 or 2 scorer on the team. He's just too good. When he trained with Kobe this summer the one thing Kobe tried to instill in him was be more aggressive instead of passive. We saw a little bit of that last night. He has a really bright future.

I know what you mean...I don't really like investing in RC's or 2nd year guys that go for high dollar, etc. I also would rather buy a Jordan, etc. But it won't be Jordan's best card, or even close..It's rare, but I sometimes roll the dice and pull the trigger in a high dollar young prospect...Plus, though risky, it's much more fun, following the players progress, the potential for card to explode one year...

In this case, even though I still think his NT RPA are obviously high for what he's has accomplished, I pulled the trigger during the summer...Him playing for Boston, BStevens, and Ainge did influence my decision...I will except any outcome, but I feel it's going to be a fun ride regardless..

The kid can do it all, highlight dunks, shoot the lights out from 3, plays good defense. He's so mature and still the youngest player on the Celtics. I wish i had more of his cards. I'd really love to own an NT RPA but i don't feel like spending $10K on one card but iim sure i'll look back in several years and say that was a bargain. Oh well can't have em all. I only have the basics a couple Prizm silvers a few other Prizm colors, Optic Holo and an Optic auto. I wish i had more. I think the other main thing that will keep his cards sought after is he plays for a historic franchise with a rabid fanbase and a team that's really good and looks like they'll be in the spotlight for years to come.

10-18-2018, 09:14 PM
Saw him play in high school and had to grab something after I saw how good he looked in college. Picked this up when Prizm came out last year

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181019/f3a0c6d9e4f47a670403e67b53c7d456.jpg

Also grabbed a few base prizm rc's. Any opinion on the next "best" rc behind prizm? I really didn't like the look of the prizm cards but know they've kind of been the go to the last few years. I don't collect basketball at all so I'm not sure if products like Select or Optic have much of a following.

Yes, it's fun when everything goes right, but it's very risky, what if he gets injured? Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill come to mind.

But anyway I am with you tho, I think he is a "good" risk, I am so tempted to get his RPA, but wish the price is cheaper.

Man, I know it's early but I did not expect this from Tatum already...I felt he was the real deal, but would take a few years because of how the team is constructed and his age..But didn't expect this...I've watched all 3 games and it's just seems very difficult to score let's say 30 on this team, especially when Morris, Smart and Rozier come in chucking...I saw Smart take (brick) some horrible shots while 48% from the field Tatum was wide open, lol...

Anyways, only 3 games..But future is looking good...

I want to increase my Tatum collection but im really undecided on what to buy. I plan on holding for a long time because im a Celtics fan and he's my favorite player but some day 10-15 years down the road i will likely sell them. I want mostly stuff that will be really desirable and hold good value. This is what i have right now, Prizm silvers x2, green pulsar Prizm, Red pulsar Prizm, ruby Prizm, green Prizm, lots of prizm base, Optic auto, green /5 rated rookies. I could buy an NT RPA but that would pretty much wipe out my entire budget and be the only acquisition. Or i could go for more Prizm stuff or Optic but that's where im stuck and undecided. For a long term investment perspective do you guys have any ideas? I really like the Optic Contenders as well i've been eyeing a gold /10 but that's about the same price as an NT auto. What do you think what would you do?

Many collectors have a very high expectation for Tatum. About two years ago, when I first began collecting cards, people were also very high on Andrew Wiggins. Some people compare Wiggin’s game to Kobe’s. See how that turns out. My philosophy in buying high value cards is unless he is a generational player, I’m not buying the player’s RPA. It is shocking to me how much money people are spending on Tatum’s RPA. In my opinion, Tatum is not a generational player. The hobby will eventually abandon him.

so basically in the last 20 years you could only buy kobe, bron, duncan, steph and durant. that is way too narrow for me. plenty of rpas to buy, plenty of room to grow and to say tatum can't be that guy at 20 years old is foolish.

You could be right, but for what it's worth I had zero interest in Wiggins after his first season, zero!! I just knew he would become the player he is today...When I look at Tatum, I see the size, the composure, maturity, defense, efficiency, his beautiful shot, and clutch/not afraid of the big spotlight...

Wiggins, had none of those things, all he had was/is athleticism...So big difference there...But, that's just one mans opinion!!

Jayson Tatum cards are just way too high to be a good investment.

I still see him as a Paul George clone that can shoot a little better.

There was a lot of excitement when Paul George was making a name for himself in the NBA. His cards peaked early and slowly declined after people realized he was just never gonna be able to reach the level of guys like Kobe and Lebron.

Same thing will happen with Tatum. There will be young players like Zion Willamson, Ben Simmons and Giannis, as well as vets like Lebron and Durant who he will never be able to get to their level.

I was going to mention that but you beat me to it. Playing for one of the greatest franchises of all time and being a perennial contender will do wonders for collectibles. People forget about you if you play for a losing team but they don't when you're on tv deep in the playoffs every year.

I agree, his prices are high...But it does help he plays for Boston and for a great championship contending team for years...

I can see the PG similarities, he's like a hybrid of Paul Pierce and PG13..But being compared to PG with a better shot, not too bad...That's a good start!

I just don't see Tatum ever reaching the Elite Superstar level that Lebron and Durant are at right now.

Right now, his current prices say he's reached that level and beyond, but he hasn't.


Some of the hobby's biggest stars are just freak athletes, who do mindblowing things on a daily basis.

Lebron is just a beast. Durant is 7 ft and drops 3s like its nothing. Giannis just has freakish athleticism. Curry's shooting is crazy.


I don't see Tatum as a freak athlete in any way. Sure, he'll be good. Sure, he plays for a storied franchise. But what's going to separate him from all the other really good players in the NBA?


If the Celtics don't win the title, his cards will come crashing down. And seeing how well, Kawhi and the Raptors are playing, I'm not even sure at this point they will be getting out of the East.

And do we have to talk about what kind of affect Zion Williamson is gonna have on the market? Let's just say, it has the potential to be Lebron level hype next year and when that happens, there will be a lot of people jumping off the Tatum bandwagon.

Have you ever seen him play in person? I ask that not sarcastically, but as a legit question. I thought he was a good non superstar then I went to game 1 of the ECF and holy smokes, this kid is good and I watch a ton of basketball. He looked like a legit superstar. His shot, athleticism, handles and ability to take over a game made me a believer. I think he is already better than Kyrie, because he is a good defender and already a better shooter. But to each his own

Tatum shot the highest percentage ever in NBA history from the corner 3s last year. So literally as a rookie he shot better than every player ever from corner 3. He will be on a constant great team for clear future. Hes a good bet and a wing that can do it all.

Just recognized the crazy difference between Ball and Tatum Immaculate RPAs.
Ball is live and selling around 150-250 which means pulling this won’t even cover half of the box price. Tatum Redemption selling around 2.5-3k. Crazy!!!

Steph Curry was 24 before he even averaged 20+ a game. Tatum, in his rookie season and just a couple months after his 20th birthday, led his team to within just one game of the NBA Finals.

It's definitely a sellers market at the moment. I was prepared to buy the NT PSA 10 that ended last night.

Agreed.. the dude is a silky smooth, all around high quality player at age 20.... i may take flak but a poor mans grant hill that plays for a very good championship contending team where hes 1a/1b.. dude is a killer off the dribble pulling up or finishing at the rim.. he can pop the 3 too.. lastly.. he's becoming a straight killer with no fear when the game matters.. you can't teach that and i believe he has IT after much skeptisism from last year.

Anyone saying he is over priced need to look at similar type players on the 76ers, bucks, wolves, suns whos silvers go for more .. just my 2 cents bc im taking the gamble.. got some mail today..

Tatum is only less than Giannis and Ben Simmons from that list, KAT/Wiggins prices have tanked and Devin Booker PSA 10 gets like $500 where Tatum gets around 600-700. The situation around Ben Simmons cards are unique and Giannis is a legit MVP contender with a real coach for once.

Ive bought 3 tatum silver psa 10s in the last 4 days around 555 avg.. and booker prices were trending

Yes KAT has gone down but point is some guys close to his talent or potential are selling in the 700-1400 range. Point is if you believe a guy is a potential big time star on a championship contending team then look around the hobby at "similar type" players (losely using) then yes hes a buy for me. I was buying Mitchell if that helps based on similar logic

Giannis is a MVP candidate but he plays for the bucks who arent contenders. I also own all of these players but its a potential uptick IMO if Tatum continues to ball on a winning team

Think that went out the window a few pages ago..:coffee:

I believe they're un numbered and around 20-25 copies from what ive read. I don't own any but i've noticed peoples love of revolution. That's probably why they're sought after. They look the closest to 90's inserts.

Wouldn't mind grabbing some of that and a black velocity.

If it tens PM me.

This said was the 99/99 sale legit? Had a terrible patch and bad auto BUT I know some people love the 1/99 and 99/99 cards will have to wait and see I guess...

Super small sample size, but he's currently leading the league in defensive win shares.

I saw his game as very similar to Tobias Harris coming into the league. But he has a much higher ceiling. How high he gets...I'm not sure. But he's extremely poised for his age and has very few holes in his game.

Actually kind of reminds me more of Kawhi now before he blew up. But doesn't quite have the same situation where he's allowed to drop 28+ppg a night.

Prizm colors would be my vote. Personally I'm going after Prizm Silver BGS 9s thay are .5 from gem. They're selling for like $150-200 less than BGS 9.5s w/9 and you can't tell any difference to the naked eye. Great resub potential.

I wouldn't put them in the same echelon as TC Refractors, because of the production numbers. But essentially yes, they've taken the place as the flagship "refractor" to have.

I would go NT RPA. Look at what Curry's just fetched. If he pans out like we think he can, 10 years from now todays prices will be steals even though they seem pricey now. Plus pretty soon, they won't be popping up on eBay as frequently. Prizms, optics, etc will always be readily available

They are a little all over the place with these prices but they are slowly starting to become harder to find. I have 2-3 of them but thinking about picking up 1-2 more before they dry up. Watching him last night the hype isn't gonna stop soon.

It’s somewhat true what some of the people have said in this thread, I get it…But when a card starts off hot/high dollar from the beginning, then starts to slowly live up to that hype, sooner rather later, the cards will just continue to gain momentum and become more difficult to come crashing down unless of course an injury happens or a major drop in his game…These type of cards have much so much more potential and are more different than when a player comes out of nowhere after a few seasons, then card rises/drops, etc.

The only thing Tatum is currently missing so far in his very early career as a 19/20 year old, is a big explosive 30 point game or games!!! But, like I mentioned earlier in the thread, it’s so darn hard to score 30 on this team!! Even when Morris, Rozier and Smart come in, they come in chucking while Tatum is wide open!! That will change, eventually!!

Can’t agree more. I have one of the largest Tatum collections that I know of but for me it’s a long term investment. I fully expected these kind of games this year. Celts are a truly unique team where any of their starting 5 is capable of leading the team in scoring any night with no one surprised. Even in their bench like Morris and Rozier are often looking to score first. If someone is off to a slow start they will just go to someone else. Just like previous post mentioned looked at Kyries night. You are not going to see 6-15 or 10-26 type scoring nights like you do out of day like an Embiid, Lavine, Westbrook, Lillard, or many others. These guys have to shoot no matter what. First r me it’s all about the eye test for now.

Great points, but you have to understand most or a lot people who invested in Tatum were not expecting for him to take over this year, etc. I didn't, that's for sure...It would have been foolish not to take his situation into consideration prior to buying his stuff....So, for a lot of people, it's just a long term project...

He's shooting a lower percentage than expected, but otherwise is right on track. 18 pts 8 rbs would be a solid season and he will likely get there as his shooting stabilizes.

This is Kyrie's team and there are 5 other guys taking 10 shots a game. I think anyone investing in Tatum should do so because he has the potential to be a key piece in championships over the next decade not because he's going to score 25 a game any time soon.

Well, there are a couple factors here:
1) Kyrie's RC's are in a Cavs uni and that lowers the desirability significantly.
2) This will probably be Tatum's team in about 5 years (when he is 25 and Kyrie is 31) and Tatum may well be the one to factor in more titles; I don't think they will win anything until GS's dominance ends anyway. In other words, I could see them winning once or twice with Kyrie as the top player and another couple times with Tatum. This is of course the "best case" scenario.

Sometimes you have to trust your eyes...In my case, though it's just one card i've invested in, I trust my eyes..They have rarely failed me :) ...Eye test tells me he's already close and will be so much better than Kyrie to go along with my other more important reasons I've already mentioned earlier in this thread..

You either don't watch him and just go by hype, prices, and stats or you do watch him and you don't like what you see, which is perfectly fine...So, just don't be a buyer and don't worry about asking all these questions, etc. You shouldn't ask us to try and convince you if should buy or not, or if the hype is justified or not..

There's a lot of talent on the Celtics and they all want to score. It's understandable they get paid based on performance. Marcus Morris is a good example he loves to shoot the ball and rarely passes. When he gets the ball he's gonna shoot 9/10 times. They're also fighting for playing time because they're so deep. Tatum is more unselfish as a player and is willing to pass. Though recently he's been taking some bad shots because he's trying to score and forcing some bad shots. It's tough sometimes when all these guys want to score and at times they're forcing it trying to get theirs. I guess he could be more selfish and take more shots but i don't think that's how he's wired.

Yep, he'll get his opportunity eventually. They won't be able to pay all these guys in a few years and they'll have to move some of them or lose them in free agency. There's no denying his talent though, that's pretty evident.

Looking back on the history of Duke NBA players, Grant Hill, Kyrie, and Elton Brand are the only players to even scratch stardom in the league. Hoping Tatum can change that.

Grant Hill was the real deal...man what a great a player he was...but of course like many others, he got dealt with a bad hand!! Would have loved to have seen a prime/peak healthy Hill and T-Mac on those Magic teams!! That would have been such a fun team to watch!! Hate injuries!!

Jaylen Brown prices seem to be down a lot since last season.

He plays for a storied franchise, very young and very talented like Tatum.

A lot of people were comparing him to a young Kawhi Leonard.


Now his prices are reflecting his lack of production on the court.


Unfortunately, Tatum's lack of production will eventually affect the prices and his cards have a lot of room to go down. He's got a lot higher expectations as well, when his NT RPAs sell for $10,000 opposed to Jaylens that sell for barely 2k

That could happen of course, but remember the eye test I mentioned :)

In all seriousness, I did not and would have not invested anything in Jaylen, nothing...Never saw any potential or big time talent in that guy, just a good solid role player is all I ever saw in him...

Scorers, yes, but more so winners. That's what keeps Westbrook, Harden, T-Mac, etc from reaching that level.

I think guys like Booker and Mitchell will outscore Tatum but are not in such a great position to win.

And yeah, Tatum will become the first option at some point - whether it is next year or in 5 years. I am more conservative because of the amount of talent around him.

I agree...Brown cannot shoot. He's freakishly athletic and that's about it. Doesn't have the moves to create his own shot the way Tatum does either. Tatum is already the much better player despite being younger.

Tatum is so bad this year. Reading lots of articles on how his work with Kobe hasn't helped any. Settling for terrible shots; not getting to the rim. This is bad. I know people don't want to say the sky is falling and it's only year two and it's the Celtics, etc, but get real people. Games with 4 points, 6 points, 40% shooting. This is BAD. Haven't seen a 2nd year drop off like this in quite a while. Wonder if Blowout is still offering $90k for his RPA Logo Lol!

I don't really agree with your assessment of Mitchell. He's averaging 22.5 pts per game. In fact he's improved just about every category from last year to this year, the ones he hasn't they're just about the same. He has plenty he can improve on, but he's actually statistically been better this year.

This is kind of silly. He still has better numbers than say, Giannis, at 20.

In order to get better at something, you have to try it in games. Tatum is trying things in games that he did not last year. To me, that's a sign of a player who wants to get better...and if he keeps trying he will. Meanwhile, every player has rough shooting stretches. I don't expect him to shoot threes like he did last year, but he'll probably settle at a higher clip than where he is now.

Nonetheless, his cards were probably overpriced and I'd be happy to see them become more affordable in the short term.

I don't think it's silly. Giannis didn't have huge numbers and then drop down in subsequent years. He steadily climbed in every category. Having bad shooting stretches for a superstar doesn't usually include point totals of: 4, 15, 14, 12, 16, 6, 24, 7. He has scored 20 points 3 times this year. He's not a bust, he's hugely talented. But whatever he's trying to do right now; it' ain't working. If he wants to be like Kobe and settle for fadeaway off balance jumpers he should do so when he's 36, not 20. Get to the rim, for crying out loud.

He's not a superstar....And Tatum's numbers are actually slightly up in every category.
RBD 5 - 7.3
AST 1.6-2.6
PTS 13.9-14.6

And this is despite a lack of shooting luck. Is that not steady climbing?

It's a small sample size. Just like the playoffs were a small sample size.

Let's put it another way.

People expected far more than 14/7/2 with sub 40% shooting from the field. If you were expecting just a slight bump from his non-playoff numbers, then he's doing alright I guess. Otherwise, it's pretty bad considering the expectations.

Im actually glad if the prices come down so i can buy more. They're ridiculously expensive right now. Im not a flipper on Tatum, he's my guy and that's my team. The Celtics are playing horribly as a team for the talent they have. They aren't meshing well together at all. They played better as a team when Kyrie and Hayward were both injured last year. Brad Stevens needs to play the starters more and not worry about the bench guys feelings and their minutes. Sounds harsh but they need to do something to get these guys in a rhythm. That's my latest opinion.

I'm waiting for him to truly "breakout" later this year. A few 30-35 point games during an 8-9 game win streak type thing and his stuff is poised for a bump. Same with Mitchell honestly, just a slow start for the 17-18 class.

At this point w/o great patch, I personally would have chased for a 100% white patch similar to the one I attached here (not my card). To me I think 100% white patch on these NT card designs makes it look so nice, sophisticated that gives the overall card a better luxurious look to it than the multi-colored patches; almost like it was designed by CHANEL or something.

He's getting more comfortable. He used to be so passive at times and almost timid and not trying and do too much. He used to disappear for long stretches. I think it's just the natural growing process. He's young, he's still only 21.

Like ive mentioned before he has all the tools to be a dominant player. He's a good shooter has decent handles, athletic, can get to the rim when he wants. It's not his ability that was holding him back, it's the way the team is made up and sharing offensive responsibilities.

The modern NBA is to build around one or two players and fill out the rest of the team with role players that compliment them. The Celtics are the opposite of that. They have a bunch of really good players with no alpha. They're built very much like the Spurs teams that were successful. It's hard for one person to stand out on a nightly basis because that's just not how they're built. He definitely could though if given the opportunity.

Tatum became just the 4th player in NBA history to record at least 3000 points,1000 rebounds & 150 made three pointers before the age of 22. Those other three players were Kobe,Lebron & Durant.

And the games played to reach these totals were:
Kobe 266 games
Lebron 266 games
Durant 239 games
Tatum 209 games

Prices really exploding glad I snagged a few parallel colors. Getting ahead themselves.

I made the mistake of looking on eBay this morning to see how much his cards had jumped.

I had purchased 4 2017-18 Optic PSA 10s on COMC a year ago for $10 each. Sold them this year for $30 each and felt good about it.

Prices started climbing a week or so later.

They hit $220 this week. And it’s that’s just for PSA 10 base card.

I felt a little sick lol but still happy I at least made money in the end.

4-5 rings?? As a Celtics and Tatum fan, your crazy or pumping. He might win 1 or 2 I hope.

The two younger guys I am very high on is Tatum and Luka. Simple- they each have that mentality where they want to be the one to take the last shot when it matters. I’ve been very high on Tatum and haven’t ever been higher. His last month of play was unreal. He’ll continue to develop and fill His body out.

Having said that- there are many cards of his still wildly undervalued compared to others. Prizm silver now catching up.

Love tatums potential. Just got back a green prizm and ruby wave rc from psa. Debating on what to do with them. I think the green is a really under appreciated card just looks so nice!

The green Prizm's look really nice. Matching Celtics colors. I had a green pulsar /25 and sold it not too long ago. I still got several other nice Tatum's though so all is not lost.

Love the green to match the team colors....Tatums flawless auto patches are the only ones where emeralds look sick, simply Because of the Jersey.
