Long-ish (and most likely underwhelming) post.
As we all know, occasionally sellers/traders sometimes throw in some filler cards to protect the card you’ve actually purchased/traded for.
Maybe two years ago I got a package that had some Chromey basketball cards as filler. I like all major sports and the NBA as much as the next guy, but only collect baseball cards. Well, typically I don’t even bother tumbling through the filler - they either go into the recycle bin, or in with the packing material to also be used as filler. Since these cards were foreign to me, I checked them out and one of the cards was this one.

Being a casual OU & NCAA hoops fan, I absolutely knew all about Trae Young and this had an RC logo, so I thought, well, put this one in a sleeve and top loader for poops and giggles.
Well, fast forward two years, I randomly came across this card while looking for something else and decided to look up some completed sales since everyone over here says that basketball cards are skyrocketing right now. I was floored to see what this BASE card of a semi-star NBA player was going for and immediately listed it for $125. A few days later someone offered $100 and I accepted instantly.
Since I quite literally started from $0, I figured I’d channel one of my favorite seasons of Wheeler Dealers when they’d start with a $0 car and “trade up” to a better car each week.
After selling the Trae Young for $100 (calling it $90 after fees) I checked out several options for best potential resale value and settled on a nice looking 2020 Chrome Pink Ref LouBob for $80 plus tax and shipping. Once I get that in hand, I’ll add a pic and then the “next episode” will begin.
If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading my dumb post.
