Downplaying the guys who put in money early is absurd.
I had a chance to pick up the Mahomes gold prizm auto /10 BGS 9.5 on blowout. The seller was at $900 in the off-season after his rookie year. I was at $700 and we didn’t make a deal. I settled with a booklet NT Auto /99 but the gold is a six figure card now. Some of these guys on here invested a large amount of money and were rewarded. To me that’s not lucky.

Agreed. People say the same thing about my boss. We were just talking about when he saw the Forbes 400 magazine and said, one day I'm going to be on that list. He is currently around 6 billion in net worth and 150 on the list. People say he got lucky but I've worked with him for 28 years and see him work harder than anyone that says that.
