Thanks! Well hopefully for your sake more don’t show up! I can get behind selling that one to fund some other ones, but I really do like the look of the “shock” design - either way, you can’t go wrong!

That was a good video Lucky.



He's so mature for a 20 year old kid. Nothing she asked phased him. I think a lot of it has to do with traveling and leaving home when he was only 13. Also being around and playing basketball with grown men really molded him into the person he is. Nothing seems too big or overwhelming. He's very humble, it's nice to see.

Luka Doncic will become the Mike Trout of basketball over the next 5-10 years, but with more playoff appearances.

Just got this back from BGS. I am terrible at evaluating cards but was curious if this looks off centered to you guys or worth a resub. Thanks for the input!

I think once LeBron retires he probably becomes the next face of the NBA. He checks all of the boxes.

8.5 is incredibly harsh for that.

[RogerGodahell]

Send it to PSA they're less strict on centering. Probably get a PSA 10 or at least a 9. It would also be worth more.

One thing that worries me about Luka is alot of these European players tend to get home sick and end up leaving the NBA halfway into their careers. Hopefully all this early success keeps him here for the duration.

Dude has become one of the biggest names in the nba. He's got worldwide recognition in year 2 of his career. I don't think this is going to be an issue, he seems to embrace the fame.

That is what I was thinking but wanted to get other opinions. Thanks!

Definitely crack it. I've never had good luck trying to cross over cards. It's almost like once they see the BGS label they have an inferiority complex. "We grade stricter than them. Denied!"

[KhalDrogo]

Going to be tough tonight against Jokic with no Porzingis.

you realize he "left home" at age 13, correct?

[RogerGodahell]

Hopefully the announcers are half decent for tonights game. I like the Mavs broadcast team.

[initialD]

Thanks! Yes, t/b is definitely off. Most I’ve seen are like this. Must still be within to gem though. So I’ll take it all day

Agreed, bgs centering grades depend on grader or just random

Congrats and yes that top/bottom is off more than I would think to get a gem grade. Big congrats.

[luluNTraed]

Jokic putting on a passing clinic.. Doncic equal to the task. Imagine them on the same team!!

Centering looks fine for a 10. I think people don’t know what 60/40 looks like. Especially on a card with real borders. I’ve got plenty of PSA 10s with worse than 60/40 centering, but it’s obscured by more subtle borders.

[RogerGodahell]

Initially I didn't care for THJ but he's grown on me. I thought he was a black hole on offense but he's adjusted nicely. I thought he was overpaid for what he brought but now it's looking like a bargain. He's neck and neck with Porzingis for their second best player imo at half the cost.
