Exactly, he should've had far more #1's for how good he was. The question is whether LeBron cards should be valued among the most expensive ever. He just isn't popular enough for it.

Kobe, a Laker was #1 only six times in his entire career. So by your logic, he is not popular and his card prices should not be valued among the most expensive ever? Looking at your signature, what has Purdy achieved to justify his current card prices (other than speculation)?

[Brobocop]

I don’t think BBases is saying anything controversial. I think all these players have experienced massive drops in prices because the run up was crazy to start with and people seem to only want to invest in the next LeBron and gamble rather than buy the sure thing like LeBron.

Also its highly boring to invest in just LeBron or Jordan. After a while anyone wants to sell. The real fun of cards is in the prospects and too many people picked the wrong prospects at a super high price. Oh well.

[imbluestreak23]

Jesus people.

Kobe was with one team. How many damn jerseys did fans need to buy?

How many teams has KANG been on?

Thus, how many jerseys did his stans need to buy all the years to rock the latest KANG swag?

Dont' overthink fellas

Kobe wasn't nearly as good as LeBron. Not even close. Kobe being #1 six times proves how popular he was relative to how good he was, as does LeBron's number of #1's proves that he wasn't as popular as he should've been. I think people got carried away with how good LeBron was in the middle of a bubble. It's easy to say buy the best player of our generation while forgetting that his popularity doesn't match his greatness. And there's no way for his popularity to catch up to his greatness from here on out

No reason to get into Purdy in the basketball section.

Well since MJ cards have dropped 90% and hasn’t had a top selling jersey in at least 20 years I guess he’s not popular anymore. Nothing to justify buying his cards.

[pcptrade]

Lebron has been with Lakers only since 2018-19 and his is the #1 selling jersey for the past 5 years (since 2018-19). How many jerseys do his stans need?

Show me a big MJ card that has dropped 90%. Lebron's stuff dropped more than Jordan. Imagine having 19000 posts and thinking otherwise

I am going to look at jersey sales before buying cards going forward. Wait...Brady was the top selling jersey of all time in NFL and his Champ Ticket has dropped 90% from the peak. That does not make sense.

You are far smarter than interpreting what I saying as jersey sales as an absolutely proxy to value and also applying that to a different sport

Oh gosh so sorry, you’re right they’ve only dropped in the mid 80% instead of 90%

It’s almost like the whole market dropped that amount. Or maybe the last 3 years were just a dream idk

Bbases sure is an expert for only getting into cards 3 months ago.

Brady just isn’t popular enough, obviously.

Why would he be? Purdy and his cards are the hot topic in football section right now

1 or 2 copies sold at around $90K, so it's like an 83% drop for those buyers

Yea, what the hell is the reason to be accurate with numbers anyway? Let's just throw out wrong percentages that amount of thousands of dollars

He doesn’t have one. He’s arguing down to the decimal point so he can be “right” because nobody loves him and he desperately needs the attention he gets on here

Pandemic peak prices were only few sales (<1-2% of the pop) for vast majority of high end cards. Very few MJ 86F PSA 10's sold above 700K. Same is true for many other high end cards but we like to use those peak sales as reference point to make it dramatic. Perhaps we should use the median price since the data is skewed

That the other guy was equating wrong numbers and you were correcting him

[BBases31]

Alot of people rattled that I said LeBron was an obvious bad investment

[JeremyNick]

Are we really trying to justify now by skewing the numbers?

This is hilarious.

Same as it was for other peak prices of big cards.

If you had bought MJ, Kobe, Lebron and Curry's sought after cards before 2019, you are still up on them. It all depends on when you bought them. They were all good as investments if you had purchased them before 2019. They are all bad investments if you had purchased them in the past two years. It is no different from what happened to the majority of sports cards with a few exceptions.

Of course. If you bought Ruth in 1936 or Mantle in 85 you're still up too. I should rephrase that to LeBron as being a bad relative investment at any point post 2019, that he went too high relative to everyone else and that anyone should've sold his stuff if they were in it as an investment
