However, with all of the early numbered duplicates I sold -- which I thankfully made a pretty substantial return on -- I re-invested into Durant rookie Gems which I've been putting off and some Giannis #d heat: safer vehicles, or, at the very least, hedged bets.

It was never my intent to flip these. I found some that caught my eye and bought them because they were visually pleasing and a change of pace in a world of way-too-expensive-wax.

I got lucky. I cannot stress this enough.

Lucky, you hear me?

Current tally:

$3,800 spent.

$10,600 sold.

Still on hand: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 (x2), 15, 16 (x2), 17, 18, 19 (x2), 20, 22, 23, 27 (x2), 28, 29, 38.

Pre-ordered, not arrived: 54 (x3), 72 (x8), 86 (x8)
Congrats, wish I had paid closer attention from the outset, but I been out of the game for several years and happened to be watching breaks again because of boredom. Wax prices now are a jaw dropper. Can't wrap my head around the regular customers every night in the group break live streams buying spots like they were when case prices were equivalent to box prices now.
