Well if this is reflected in the market, which would be a first for sports cards, it certainly lends credence to the belief that the purchasers are over-extended...

This sounds more like rationalization of a rapidly depreciating asset.

Bone Thugs N Harmony, we ain't.

I get paid monthly. It’s coming tomorrow, baby! Look out Topps!

It amazes me that people thought cards doubling every day was sustainable. Let this puppy breathe.

My wife gets paid on the 1st monthly, per her annual contract. But she’s only bought 1 card and it hasn’t quadrupled to the moon yet so I don’t think you need to worry about her.

No way, can't happen. After the Gary V interview tomorrow, all of his 1.5 million followers will be the cause of all of the falling prices. We will probably have to give our cards away as freebies to get rid of them.

Now, on a non-sarcastic tone, I am freaking stoked about tomorrow! I keep a very detailed spreadsheet for things like this. It will bring me much joy in the coming few days. Can't wait!!!

Go figure. Wasn't doubting anyone, I just didn't know anyone still got paid that way.

Trout baller is classic case of supply and demand. Way too much supply right now. I see it as a buy and hold. Over 800 on eBay as we speak. This card will be the poster card of the set, and when the other 15 trouts have a PR of 100k+, that’s when this rises

Is there any 110% confirmation that Gary Vee will be speaking about Project 2020?

Exactly right. I've bought four so far today.

For anyone who has questions about stockx, i can answer without being a dick.

I have sold some various blasters on there. it's great for sellers imo. as long as what you're sending them is authentic, you should be paid the same day they receive it. fees are comparable to ebay unless you are a power seller on ebay and get a discount on seller fees.

not having to deal with customers is a huge plus. they can't message you or ask for a deal or even cancel the order. biggest advantage over ebay imo.

I think Ben Baller would take it as a personal insult if his Trout didn't trend up after this glut of undercutting ends. I could see him buying up a lot of the lower BIN's or getting his followers to do it to stroke his ego. Gotta remember, that this will be one of the lowest print run Trouts in the set. And its from the artist that has the biggest following. It will be fine.

Yes, tomorrow.

Why buy a Gibson Ermsy for $150 when you can buy one for 100. Also why sell a Gibson Ermsy for 100 when you can sell it for 150?

1st - Did I see that Blake said he was going on Garys show on Tuesday now instead of tomorrow? Saw a tweet or something. Can anyone confirm?

2nd - Nobody actually knows if Gary will talk about it, but he's having an artist from the set on his show. Im pretty sure Gary wont be able to stop himself from talking about it.

The world is full of dumb buyers and dumb sellers. Ever wonder why some people always seem to get a good deal? Or some people always seem to get more for their stuff than others? It isn't luck.

I've been using eBay listings as one barometer to monitor prices. Makes Oldmanalan Clemente and Ermsy Gibson look like super attractive buys imo. But also I think eBay listings for cards in general have basically tripled across the board, so way more sellers than buyers in the market right now (read: great time to buy).

I received a promotion a few years ago and one of the new perks (or quirks really) is monthly pay. Definitely took some getting used to so I don’t blow the whole wad right away. Got really good at budgeting but then Project 2020 came along.

Haha. Thanks for not being a dick. Let’s see how many douchbags reply to you with their rants.

Due to the leap year, there would have been 27 biweekly pay periods for my company.

So we switched to semi-monthly, so we get paid tomorrow.
