What Single Card Will Increase The Most Through 2022 Playoffs

[sportsyard]

Curious as to everyone's opinion on what card as the most potential to increase and through what scenario through the 2022 playoffs?

Im saying if Philly makes a run to the finals and wins its James Harden's Topps RC PSA 10. Population only 201 and on a massive downward trajectory lately. A title gives Harden a second life after the Brooklyn saga.

Path to the finals for Philly isnt unattainable. They can beat anyone in the East and Embiid looks awesome. Give Philly some time for Harden and Embiid to gel and this could be a finals team easily.

[gomiamigo]

Maxey prizms at this point I'd guess.

[luke1014]

Don't see how Harden's cards would increase if he goes to the Finals as Pippen.

[mfw13]

Whatever is Jordan Poole's best card.....

[drobfan8]

Harden's cards pumping would be the biggest bag holding of time.

Who wants his cards when it's all said and done.

My pick is Booker and Tatum.

[JeffG1954]

Doesn't matter which card because whatever it is, I won't have it.

[StitchJones]

The answer is whichever young player makes the "leap" in the playoffs. That could be Morant, Edwards, Luka, Scottie Barnes, etc. My bet is for another increase in Morant cards.

His NT Min Gem 9.5 just did $312k last night. Not sure how much higher they can go.

Get in now before it's out of reach......:p

[drobfan8]

If the Nets win this series it could be Kyrie or KD.

Both need to add to their already superior resume's over a lot of players that won't achieve as much.

[Cavs16]

I’m going to go say it should be Devin Booker if they can win it all. He is so undervalued given his results, especially the last three years.

Booker is a great call

what about Steph with another ring?

[ragingbull]

CP3’s Topps Chrome RC

[pvinpvin]

Jayson Tatum Prizm base card (only my 2 cents)

[ScooterT312]

Jordan Poole has a lot of room to grow comparatively to a lot of already star players. So for young budding stars who you can get semi cheap, he’s a great bet.

I do think Giannis can go up to another level if Bucks repeat. I know he’s so valued already but a back to back FMVP run would set him up for a 3peat and that is a legendary opportunity. That’s some serious HYPE.

Last one I’ll say is Jimmy Butler…if Heat win it all and is FMVP…his stuff would jump big time. And I think it’s atleast possible that scenario can happen so that’s why I mentioned it.

Honorable mention

Kyrie and KD have room to grow in their own rights, a title together would do wonders for their value but I highly doubt the Nets win it all.

Suns players across the board might be the best play of course. The value on a lot of those guys could increase A LOT. Not just Book, CP3, and Ayton…but Bridges or maybe Cam Johnson if they have a big finals.

People with Luka are hoping he comes back and miraculously leads the Mavs into the 2nd round. Sucks he’s hurt!!!

[exospheer]

Tatum. He can straight up ball. I don't understand why his stuff is so low compared to other guys.

[StitchJones]

His NT Min Gem 9.5 just did $312k last night. Not sure how much higher they can go.

If they make the Finals and he is putting up highlight plays, then that card reaches 500k. It probably comes right back down, but for a good 60 day period you'd make a killing.

[tennelson55]

This just makes the card hobby look like a sham.

Wow.

3 years down the line will this card be worth 100k?

[luke1014]

This just makes the card hobby look like a sham.



Wow.



3 years down the line will this card be worth 100k?As long as the hobby never realizes Memphis is a better team without Ja it should be fine.

[gomiamigo]

Booker and KD are great suggestions also.

[bustsomewax]

It has to be Tatum.

All the other names mentioned seem to have have plenty of hype and less room to grow entering the playoffs.

[Lone Wulf]

I am not going to suggest it, just posing the hypothetical: What if the Wolves keep playing at the same level and take care of the Grizzlies with Ant being the best player in the series? People already talked about Ja prices, well Anthony Edwards is younger and cheaper, and has a more diverse offensive game at the moment. Ja getting highlight dunks every night matters, Ja getting 20 free throws in game 1 matters, but who looked better overall? Ant did. Again, it is one game no sane person is saying Ant > Ja right at the moment, but so far if people are throwing out Ja to increase, why not put Edwards in that same conversation, and he actually has more upside to increase since he hasn't already exploded like Ja has?

[tennelson55]

As long as the hobby never realizes Memphis is a better team without Ja it should be fine.

It doesn't even go that far. It is the dumb $#@! market that sets the price.

Does CP3 even have a card worth 350k?

Morant is better on the team than without. If you believe that trade him to the Knicks and I'll gladly root for him. You want a big man? Take Randel or Robinson for him and we're good.

[pingbling23]

Booker and KD are great suggestions also.

Kd lol? Having kyrie carry the team while kd shoots 9-24 in a loss isn’t going to increase his value.

[Lone Wulf]

Yeah this is what I was thinking as well. The Boston series is competitive, but Boston looks better. If anything KD is my pick to watch since if they lose he will go down in price due to recency bias, which will make him one of the most enticing buys with him being undervalued over the summer. Finally might pick up his Topps Chrome rookie, or maybe even refractor if I want to go in harder.

His legacy is already cemented as one of the best players to play, I don’t think his stuff should go down.

Yeah that is my point, it shouldn't go down, but there is a decent chance it does just based on normal trends if you look at card data in the playoffs and when people get eliminated. If it does happen I am a buyer. Even if it doesn't, KD has gotten cheap enough I would probably be a buyer anyway, to your point of his legacy already being cemented.

[buckunteer]

CP3’s Topps Chrome RC

It's this or Booker's Prizm RC.

[boxbuster7]

His NT Min Gem 9.5 just did $312k last night. Not sure how much higher they can go.

Especially if they lose the series to the timberwolves - that would be a major wrench

[msink28]

big IF at this point but if Luka can make it back and Dallas goes to the Finals, you'll see some big recovery in his prices. If Dallas were to somehow win the Finals, look out.

Otherwise the most obvious choices are Poole/Maxey.

[Ichi]

I own zero Jordan Poole, but I get this feeling like he might be better than I thought. If the Warriors make a strong push, it looks like he might actually be a reason for it (not the sole or even main reason, but one of the reasons).

I can see him getting more hobby love going forward.

His prices are already getting ridiculous, almost day by day there is a significant jump. I just elected to pull a couple of the bigger pieces I have down because with the way this team is looking, the prices could jump significantly even from where they are now if they make the finals and Poole keeps it up.

Was planning on potentially offloading my bigger pieces (which at this point is well over x10 what I paid) but gonna hold as I don't have to sell and this team and Poole are fun to root for.

[eastbayak]

I bought a 2019-20 One and One Jordan Poole /99 for the PC last week.

I felt weird because I couldn't believe I dropped $200 for it yet I couldn't believe I only
paid $200 to acquire it.

That's a good price to pay for one, it's such a limited print run that those rookies will always hold great value. I have one myself and with the price I bought in for ($36), it's tempting to let it go now but I'm holding due to the belief that the One and One set will always hold some of the best value around.

[boxbuster7]

I remember when people were writing off Poole on this board when he got sent down to the G league.

You're right that it's a good price based on the most-recent comp (e.g., below that sold price and w/o the eBay sales tax too).

I just remember how cheap they were and I didn't pick any up then. On the bright side, I picked up a Curry (have 2) for cheap before One & One starting uptrending.

Long-term, I agree with your outlook on this set. Limited print-run of a "high-end" set (wasn't originally high-end but it's definitely trended in that direction since) with beautiful images IMO.

[eastbayak]

I still think he's hyped up more than he should be IMO.

But, as a Dubs fan, I do love when he's on fire.

[Stackfan]

I'd assume it's the Booker Prizm rookie if they make it to the finals again, which is probably the safest bet according to vegas odds.

If Boston/Tatum can get past Brooklyn & Milwaukee, that's sure to jump up.

If Philly wins it all, could see Embiid/Harden/Maxey, all getting nice bumps.


If GSW wins, Wiggins/Klay/Poole would have the upside.

[boxbuster7]

This year is different. Nothing is going to 3,4,5X like years past.

The highest risk highest reward play to me seems to be the timberwolves young stars

[k13]

None besides the winning team. They will all go back down after they all lose and even more in the off season.

All the hype is gone.

Plus most of these teams have no chance in winning anyway.

11 of 16 teams are 11-1 or higher underdogs so not that wide open.
Maybe by opinion.

There's only 4 of 5 teams that can really win.

I think Philly looks pretty darn good right now, could easily beat Miami with Embiid and Harden rolling. Embiid is playing at an MVP level and Harden starting to fit in. Doc is obviously experienced as well.

[Hobbyboxer]

Poole, Maxey, Brunson, Tatum, Booker, Embiid.

Bucks.

To answer the question of the thread... something Giannis. Whatever his most expensive card is will go up the most in terms of sheer $$$. % increase, I have no idea... maybe Prizm Silver. I think he's close to becoming next in line after Lebron. Jordan --> Lebron --> Giannis. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he's going to be the best player in the world for more than a minute and will become the new "final boss" of the playoffs.

[CurryOverLeBron]

Gonna say Warriors win all and it's a Poole card to see the big increase.

[GOATcards]

The Vegas oddsmakers have already pretty much set the expectations, and I don't know how the thread question comes out as other than trying to outsmart a market. The prices have expectations and odds built in already, don't they? If the Suns and Booker come out on top, that's just odds working in their favor and a lucky price bump for Booker. But not so much of a bump that wouldn't have already been factored into expectations and prices; it would be like a 20% bump rather than 100%, right? Unless of course Booker performs *beyond* expectations -- which is kinda hard for someone who's scored 70 in a game to do at this point?

[GOATcards]

How about putting it in more odds-like terms. If you have $100 in casino chips, how many of them are you putting on each of the teams?

If you truly believe that the Warriors are surely going to win it all, then aren't you basically leaving money on the table by not placing bets for them to win?

[sfguy21]

I feel like I let my Maxey Prizm auto go too early. Going to regret that one if they win it all.
