Granted it could start decades earlier. But man these last few years have been something.

-Episodes on Panini, Topps, UD corruption

-BOTS

-Flippers shooting each other in Target parking lots while stalking distro reps

-“Influencers” hype rise and falls

-Dozens of pop up grading companies

-Existing established grading companies grading fake and/or altered cards and guaranteeing authenticity of resealed boxes

-Dumping millions on chonky prospects that never pan out



Hell, I’d even watch a documentary on the rise and fall of Blowout’s black Friday “events” from 2012-22. Yo gabba gabba and Webkins 4 lyfe



There will be one made someday on all of this and it’s enough material to keep people glued for a full series.



Stay tuned
This will be a good documentary. I'd also also like to see a deep dive into Project 2020. That was a great ride man, and Topps had to mess it up with shipping delays, foil cards, autos, PWhatever the next iterations were. The early days of Project 2020 were pure joy.

$50 for mega box is "too low" only in comparison to overpriced chrome trash. The fact that customers are giddy over having gotten a steal with LF is proof Fanatics head games are working.

Whoever bought it shouldn't have control over their finances. Hopefully they don't have a family.

Fanatics undermining Topps for the licenses and then buying Topps would be a great documentary by itself, including the BB21 and Bowman Heritage shenanigans, and the small RC shield in series 1.

Same here. Logofractor is the nicer card.

If there’s a couple thousand of them, I’d think the floor is going to be $300-500 depending on how many actually hit eBay.

I’m more interested in the bold face lie that 221-225 were in ‘22 TC when in fact they were not.

Logofractor will be the best one of his rcs. These special rcs look just like his 2022 National promotions.

The logofractor image may be better but those cards are ugly AF. That set won’t hold value, none of the gimmicky sets do.

Truthfully, it's too soon to arrive to any conclusion.

There's still a number of other 2022 products left (TC Sapphire, Topps Update, TC Update, etc).

As of now, many seem to like the Logofractor card due to low print-run, beautiful card design and image.

But everything needs to be thrown out there before a determination can be made.

Honestly, I find it funny that you're making such a statement as you're clearly one of BO's most obnoxious individuals (and dumpers).

The average person that drops $1800 a baseball card without thinking is arguably financially smarter than 95% of people.

LF in the lead. Can we get 22 SC as a dark horse?
Maybe we get a great photo.
