My username is my initial and last name, so clearly not hiding behind something secretive. You figured me out though pumping a guy I own less than $300 worth of cards for.

Congrats on your first transaction on the boards!

Honestly have no problem with this thread. Guys like Brandon Ingram have their own thread. Also this basketball forum needs little more variety than Trae and Luka.

I’m pretty transparent on these boards. I couldn’t tell you SGAs, contract, Nov. stats or anything that isn’t recent.

I post in the Acuna, Soto and Trout threads every once and a while. I have thousands of dollars wrapped up in each player. It’s not a pump, it’s a discussion.

Do I think silver SGAs at $40 are cheap based on his recent numbers? Yes
Did a buy a few at $40 or lower based on my thought? Yes

My silvers I will grade, my orange optic will likely go on eBay OBO.

Would think if it was a pump I’d own more than $225 worth

PUMPER!!!!!!!

I don’t believe it. I’d be much more impressed if you Were able to get more years in these boards than transactions though

SGA is an awesome player, I think they could lean on him a bit more, he's the future of OKC. I'm glad his prices aren't over the top, makes collecting him affordable.

Justin7 · 12-30-2019, 02:08 AM

SGA is one of the best clutch players in the league, he's going to be very good and with OKC's history on developing big stars I expect big things.

I've been big on him all year but unfortunately the clippers jerseys are suuuuuper boring so it made collecting RPAs rough.

off topic but I really like the Mavs "fresh prince" themed jerseys, if only they had those last year and I could have dropped an entire paycheck on a RPA with a tri-color neon green. OKC at least has the bright orange I may have to splurge on a 2nd year patch auto of SGA with one of those patches

Justin7 · 12-30-2019, 04:16 AM

Anyone else triggered that the SGA thread says "Shai-GREGous" instead of "Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander" Who is Greg?

Sikkcaden · 12-30-2019, 09:16 AM

full disclosure: I have a ton of SGA, mostly base prizm I got for under $0.85 and Silvers I got for under $20 and an NT RPA.

With that said, the reason why I stocked up on him in the first place is his crazy potential on both ends of the floor. He has serious all-star potential and has a dynamic enough skill set that he could have some nice hobby appeal. Early on this season his prices spiked and have come down to earth a bit, but they're starting to pick back up.

jw8 · 12-30-2019, 09:24 AM

Before anyone else posts in this thread, you MUST state how many Shai cards you own and acquisition cost of each. You will then by brought in front of the Panel of Pumpers before being allowed to continue in this discussion.

lol... these pumper accusations are getting ridiculous. The kid is good and deserves his own hype thread...end of story.

What I like is:

1st guy has been on the boards for 6 months with 1 transaction.
2nd guy has 14 completed deals on these boards in 10 years.

Alot of people dont use this board for sales/trades, they use ebay or comc or facebook. Lot of "transactions" don't get feedback either such as most group breaks. Thats a different section anyway so to act like transactions = credibility is ridiculous.

That said, I dont think this is pumping. Even if it is pumping who cares? Only people trying to build up their inventory so they can pump later. In this game you snooze you lose

sandlotsportcards · 12-30-2019, 10:29 AM

I found an Optic Choice Red /88 of Shai in my "junk" box. I'm glad I looked through it before the show I did last month. I'm really glad he has been playing so well.

I don't. But look at the two people making the claim.

One has less than 100 posts in 6 months or is a PBM

The other, well you can find him needing to post something in almost every thread. Not even useful comments, just commenting.

How dare you bring up a rising basketball player on a sports card collecting forum. We are not here to talk about the players on the cards, only card design discussion is allowed!

My thoughts... This title is egregious-Alexander.

Most SGA Prizm cards either have surface damage and/or really off-center.

That’s why the 10s hold a much bigger premium. Normally you see 3x the raw or 9 price, his multiple is like 4-5x. I think by comparison Trae is relatively easy to gem so never seen those at much more than 2.5x
