Car salesman tactics.

Car lots like this stay in business...obviously...but boy do I feel dirty driving by them.

But seriously, who in their right mind would buy this crap. The only way I can see this selling is if they have dual autos inserted featuring Lonzo. Perhaps even the BBB four (father and 3 sons), lol. I still wouldn't touch it but it might at least have a chance then.

'Ball said he has sold more than 500 pairs of the ZO2 shoes, but expects sales to pick up more due to a looming deadline.'

If he did one that says "Ask me two questions" or "I'm too big, too strong", then I'm in! lol

If people don't like the cards, they can do more than just not buy them, they can also complain. Brian should probably get used to it, to the point where he doesn't feel the need to address it publicly.
Personally, I couldn't care less about the product or even the decision to have him sign, there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't understand how he'd expect people to bite their tongues on this. Unless... *gasp* ...he doesn't truly believe they would in the first place.

Nice marketing strat, Senor Fantastico Gray.

Every card comes sealed alone in a pack so you don't know which inscription you got until you open it.

So...if I'm reading this correctly...this is basically a Lavar Ball-only product?

Why in the WORLD would anyone buy that?

EDIT: Just saw the link above with the below content - my bad.

ESPN.com is running a story, which has some pics of the cards and the inscriptions.

"Lonzo better than Steph Curry"
"I am better than Jordan!"
"Magic is not allowed to my workouts"
"Stick to the donuts Chuck"
"$495 ain't enough"
"If you can't afford the ZO2's, you're not a big baller"
"$1 billion was a discount"

And it's $60 per pack.

I would much rather a Lavar auto than a Zach Hample or Bald Vinny from 2017 Archives baseball!

Great job by Leaf here - capturing pop culture and taking risks to attract new eyes to the hobby.

They will probably sell out either way. People buy a lot of dumb crap

I may have to buy one just to do a video about it and read all the posts from this thread. Actually, now that I think about it, assuming I can buy one, I will put it in one of those thick, glass, screw-downs and keep it as a reminder to stay the $%^& out of my children's lives. My wife and I consider ourselves "attached" parents...my entire existence revolves around my kids and wife...but this guy is actively ruining their futures in some weird, dictator-like fashion. I feel terrible for these kids. Manziel's father was an "enabler" that raised him to end up the way he is, but at this point, it's on him. These are still children and their father is getting in the way of the things THEY have (or may) earn. Contracts, deals, etc. And he is ruining THEIR reputation because of his own inflated ego.

Don't like how they are selling directly to Ebay and disguising it as a '1 pack product.'

However I don't mind it. Leaf is doing whatever it can to get an edge without the license. If you don't like it don't buy it
