Also, I believe your claim was that you could get any P2020 card for less than MSRP within a year, including cards that are currently selling for $100's. If your patting yourself on the back that Wheeler sold you cards, that's a big head scratcher.
You are *technically* wrong about P2020, but you are epically, embarrassingly wrong about TopShot.

Nah brah, definitely said the set as a whole. Here's one of many quotes that went over your head apparently. I can quote others it you'd like. Why are you selling P2020? You loved the set and it totally wasn't about the money if I recall. Yikes.
Explain NBATS to us morons who don't have a clue. I'd love the lesson and to understand why nobody can pull money after WEEKS. Totally legit business, not at all taking your money. My brokerage holds funds for weeks on end too! It's normal in the industry.

Rather than worry about the ups and downs on the market, rather than making sure I set aside $7K of my hobby money to make sure I complete it, I’ll just pick it up down the line.
I’ve yet to see a set in the hobby that I couldn’t pick up cheaper in total than buying the sum of the parts individually.
As it stands there are a total of 1065 total sets that could potentially be made (honestly lower than I thought when the product was announced). I’m confident the set will be worth less than MSRP in 5 years.
If it’s like any of the other print to demand sets, the money makers will have bought multiple to free ride sets. They’ll have made their money during the process and be less concerned about making top-dollar on the set (my LCS is ordering in batches of 20 and has done this with every print on demand set since eTopps). They’ll be available.
Essentially, I didn’t want to commit $7K from the jump. If I’m wrong and have to buy a set for $10K down the road that’s alright as well. I doubt I’ll have to though. I suspect most cards from here on out will have negative equity on the set as a whole, so even if the Ermsy Torut is “x” over MSRP, the vast majority will sell for less than MSRP long term and bring the sum of the parts down.
I could be wrong. I would have bet my life that no card from this set would have reached $1K, let alone multiple cards surpassing that and some shooting over $1K like it’s nothing. I’ve been wrong a bunch in my life.
