Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer - Page 877

A lot of sold prices for particular cards are all over the place, both BIN and auction. Hard to tell if prices are stabilizing or falling.

He could buy em back, sign them and relist them for a markup.....Nothing wrong with that.......Capitalism at its finest

To try to get a sense of the bottom look at auctions and look at when the last couple bids were placed. Looks like lots of higher end items are riding bids from 12-18 hours ago.

starts around 3 minutes in. it's worth a rewatch if you haven't seen it since it first got posted here. it's honestly a terrible look given what ended up happening, especially in light of this Gary V postponement.

Holy guacamole Blake.

He's going to buy my Vides, Naturel, Chang and Rochester cards and auto them? Weird.

He told everyone to "buy as much as they can" of "any card".

Whooooppppsssss.

"I'm going to give you guys a little inside information. Go on eBay and buy as many cards as you possibly can (not just mine) buy as many cards as you possibly can of all the cards before today's cards. I mean, like, seriously, like. Thank me later. ***jibber jabber*** I know that the prices are high. I'm telling you guys. Get every single card before today. Any card that you can get before todays cards. Literally get them right now. ....... I cant, like, I cant, buy all the cards before today, like,I'm telling, like I'm telling you"

If I hold these cards is it possible I will end up actually owing money? They can’t do that right? Most of mine are in Ultra Pro cases, but have a few snap tite cases FWIW. Also I kept all my boxes.

it's that, plus tonight him admitting that sharing/hyping the interview with Gary V led to Gary indefinitely postponing the interview.

to try and be fair, I don't think any of this was malicious at all. He seems to be a genuine guy who is (extremely deservedly) stoked about how this project is blowing up.

You know what happens when you owe money and don't pay up, right?

Whooooppppsssss.

He could buy his own cards back, sign them and resell them for a huge markup!

Have you seen lately what artists are charging for their signed cards?.....The JK5 Riveras #91 sold out at $499.99 i believe....

As far as what he said i watched the video just like everybody else......We all see how that turned out.....Whoooooooooooooopppppssssss!

Insanity I say. I’ve never seen anything like this. And we are STILL less than 25% of the way through this. We’ll remember this for the rest of our collecting lives for sure. Less than a year back in personally, and this drops.

It’s been riveting so far to be honest.

The singularity is when it is impossible to tell the jokes from the non.

I believe we are approaching.

SupermanBrandon · 05-30-2020, 11:31 PM

Gary is obviously backing wayyy off of this topic/project for the moment. Probably waiting to see if it can stabilize and slightly rebound before he will think about jumping in.

Blake’s been awesome through this so far, but I agree, we should probably take everything he says from here on out with many grains of salt.

BigEd · 05-30-2020, 11:32 PM

It will be interesting to see what happens depending on the market through next Wednesday. Monday's cards could easily be low-PR sleepers. If Topps has much of a choice when putting out Monday's cards, they'd do well to put out something big to counter that.

Blake did the right thing hyping the interview with Gary Vee. Why wouldn't he? He also knows Gary personally.

The linked video has just over 2K views. Include the people on the live chat, maybe 2500 total people saw him excited about what was happening. Ebay sales were blowing up regardless of what he said there.

Fanny futures plummeting.

Exactly....Blake seems like an awesome guy but at the end of the day the dude is an artist....Not a financial advisor.....You want help with how to manage your money hire a financial advisor or some sort of professional who knows how to manage $

Plus, don’t invest more than you can afford to lose. This is the way.
