Not great with BGS, but a blue /199 9.5 9.5 9 10 did $13,000 on eBay as few weeks ago. Maybe a small premium for a blue ice versus the blue

Worked out just splendidly his rookie season.

Love me some good ol 2nd year SSP Chunk, man I really hope he jumps off to a good start for the season. I tried my best to display the best bling factor of the Optic Photon that I could, it's grown on me and the color match to the jersey is good in my book.

Huge Zion fan here but not going to lie, I may sell a couple things and buy back in later if need be. This early career health roller coaster isn’t instilling a lot of confidence.

The talent is absolutely undeniable, but the longevity concerns are real. Hoping Z goes out there and proves me wrong for doubting him. I love watching him, and rooting for him every step of the way, but I’m also not going to be reckless with the amount of money I have in his cards.

Zion on his way to be Greg Oden? Lot of hype coming out but spending more time in the training room with injuries then on the court.

Zion will not flourish until he leaves NO. End of story.

Not really a great comparison because Oden’s game never translated to the NBA. Zion on the other hand, has lived up to the unreal hype and has put up historic scoring efficiency numbers, but he definitely has to overcome the health issues.

Like I said, I’m pulling for him 100 percent, but I also realize that there are less risky ventures in the world of trading cards at the moment. Doesn’t diminish how excited I’ll be when he’s back on the floor this year. Dude is a joy to watch.

Brutal. Guess it’s within their rights, but don’t like how the team hid the injury.

I've been tracking all my purchases and it appears I have $2450 invested in him, which is quite a lot for me. Not enjoying this uncertainty and injury stuff, though to be honest some of my purchases are keepers regardless as I like watching him play.

His raw cards are worth peanuts compared to what they were in 2019.

Hes still just 21. But unfair or not. If this continues he will eventually be a hobby afterthought

Sure, but that's because guys like me assume all the good stuff was sent in for grading, so raw is gonna be rough condition-wise.

Zion in a season opener splint has now become an annual clecter tradition.

Bruh said he was going 'too hard' during the offseason focusing on making the playoffs. Was he c-walking in a contaminated bucket of merlot grapes out in Napa Valley trying to flex on a rival set? I don't get it. So much hush hush around any setbacks with this kid.

Griffin's on that tiger mom ish.


On the bright side, when he actually returns from injuries, he's been without incident and finishes out the season strong.

Great buying opp. HODL til valhalla.

I swear some of ya'll be having my systolic going brazy with the preliminary TMZ fear mongering.


So I guess there have been zero setbacks, and the latest tests actually cleared him to begin running and full training. The re-evaluation in 2 weeks will most likely be the final hurdle before he's officially set to play in regulation. The only thing that doesn't line up are the typical healing timelines, but again...I trust whatever Griff says Zion related with a grain of salt. They've been overly cautious with coddling their cash cow from the jump. 6-8 weeks means 10-12 in BBWville. I fux wit it.


As my mans Warren B would say: be greedy when others are fearful, and be fearful when the obnoxious Russian immigrant is greedy @garyvee.



Keep coppin.

Nah I completely agree. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me thrice, shame on my Venmo account. But let's not quite anoint him the next Embiid yet. Plus Joel's missed like half a career's worth of games and just came off an MVP candidate campaign. His key kards are still doing okay. Big Z keeps forming and we gucci...or at the very least polo sport.

It feels like you all are doing this on purpose in hopes of nabbing a Zion one and one RC /99 for "dirt cheap"
