Right now. Stock up on LaVine’s bois!

Booker scores 40 like every game, that has to be worth something

Add those together & any card will rise.

Booker did avg 26/6 this year on a bad Suns team.

4) Sheep buy and inflate the prices
5) Rich guy dumps on his followers
6) Profit $$$

This is it and it disgusts me. Gary Vee is a complete scam and I hate him and everything he stands for. His whole schtick is about motivating others to find ways to get rich -- while he uses his influence to get rich specifically off of those people!

As you said above, that's his whole methodology. He's tricking his sheep followers into dumping him a ton of their money. It's unconscionable and he should get his ass beat.

if people are buying Booker because "he scores a lot", I have some Carmelos and Monta Ellis cards to sell you

I’ve said this forever. Booker is a scoring machine and “great” yet in five professional years has never won more than 26 games in a year... Let that sink in. In an 82 game season he has navigated his teams to no more than 26 wins in any of his 5 years...

His one claim to fame is a 70 point game, where his team still lost by 10... How TF does that even happen?

Lastly he finally became an all-star this year because he cried about not being one and lillard gave up his spot. All while having a 26-39 record heading into Orlando. You know the third to last team in the West... PHX...

This hype is nothing more than a social media farce. #Invest in a guy that’s going to Orlando to play 8 tune-up games and then head home... Yeah sounds like a hot hot tip.

Now I have heard that booker is really good at video games, and so perhaps he will play a lot when his season is over and maybe you can stream him on twitch and perhaps that helps values? I dnk... I’m trying to make it make sense.

Let's call it like we see it.

This is a way for Gary or his buddy to get out from a BAD investment. They bet on Booker HUGE before the beginning of the season/beginning of the season. Booker's team didn't win and they aren't playing in Orlando. Instead of waiting until December when the 2020-21 season starts, losses were cut 6 months in advance.

Only instead of cutting loses, Gary sends out 1 tweet about Booker and people jump on him. Prices soar sky high. Gary has so much 'clout', people are buying Booker like there is no tomorrow. The issue is they are the ones holding the hot potato.

There was a video posted the other day on Twitter about Gary buying Shaq toys from a dollar store and returning them to KMart. He made thousands of dollars as a kid. He was very apologetic on Twitter.

I don't see how this is any different other than him now using his power to essentially screw over the people that follow him.

Just look at the killing his buddy is making on Topps KDs right now....

[csrockerzero]

It's all good with me. Keep pumping and overlooking the stuff that's really gonna be worth money in 5 years' time.

Ok, that is all true, now help me understand who I should be investing in? Before the prices get out of control? Isn't the idea to find players who have potential to do something great in the future? His team isn't there yet, we see that. But neither is Luka, or Tatum, or Mitchell, or Shai, Trae, or many many more young guys that have great potential and can play really well.

The idea is to build a team right? put the pieces in place to make a run for the championship. Most of the greatest to play the game type players didn't cement their greatness until they had a couple extra really good players on their team to help them.

It is always possible for him to find a different team down the road that is primed and ready for some great dominant years as well. He is weapon, like so many other players with great talent.

We see the signs of potential now, but all the puzzle pieces are not in place yet. What happens when a super talent free agent decides to play in Phoenix?

I've seen one of his video out of curiosity and this may not very well be a good judgment of his approach but in that video, he picked up a card, might've been a sticker and simply said, Why can't this be the next new thing? Stickers are cool. Then boom goes the dynamite on sticker prices lol.

Never gonna happen. Robert Sarver.

Gary said that he bought 500 copies of Tim Hardaway Sr raw rookies. Should we follow that too?

Why on earth would anyone buy 500 copies of the same card? Manipulation.

Do you have a link to GV or his buddies eBay store?

I’m just curious where these are being dumped at, if that is the end result. With the trimmers we can all track the purchases, submissions, and sales. I’ve just never seen anybody do it with GV? Would be interesting to see.

Good point it moves a lot of the money to stuff being artificially inflated but the extra $ still pushes a lot of stuff up.

This is gold Jerry, gold!!

You got the SportsCardInvestor claiming that pretty much every post in this thread is just simply false and absolutely ridiculous!

[minnesotachill]

Last summer I was looking to add a Prizm Gold RC of a young up-and-coming player.


At the time, there was Jokic, Towns, and Booker listed on Ebay.

The only person who was willing to work with me was the seller of the Booker.

Sure but he doesn’t have the right attitude of make up to be anything more than a good scorer. He’s kind of just a baby and almost seems entitled to be good because of who or what he thinks he is. Anyways I wouldn’t be buying base cards regardless (at these prices) unless they are 2013 and older for prizm, because frankly they are not rare...

Can you provide a link or proof? I noticed an uptick in his cards but I would like to see where Gary V said he is buying THJ now...
