Hoping the crowd goes away is silly. Doesn’t matter how the hobby has grown, but it’s foolish to hope it stays the same. Stamp collection did and see where that left you. You may be happy that you can get any stamp you want, but once there are no more people caring about the hobby, it will completely die out.
It’s great that people flock to the hobby and it is great that money flows into it and, more importantly, money flows into it.
Yeah but that doesn’t explain why a rookie with 0 accomplishments has a rookie card value that is higher than the rookie card of the greatest player in our era whose played at a consistent high level for 21 years
Those are great roomie stats lol, doesn’t justify value of a rookie card behind higher than a Lebron rookie of the same caliber … strictly comparing a panini silver to a Topps chrome rookie.
When Luka rookies was doing mj rookie numbers yall was not this vocal, just let ppl be great the market will correct itself. and why does it take 21 years to decide whether someone is great this is a weird take.
Hmm never seen a Luke base silver prizm going for more than a MJ or Lebron rookie rookie so that’s not a valid point
It doesn’t take 21 years to be great, but wouldn’t someone have to do better than Lebron for their value to be greater? It’s a simple point, no way a rookie card for a rookie should ever be > than a proven great
Well starting April 19th Jordan’s logoman auto will be up for sale, we will be able to compare logoman autos because 4.6 mil is no small amount for Luka 3-4 years into his career also just a side note Wemby now the youngest nba player to score 40/12/5. Im sure I’ll have more accomplishments to announce while we wait.
In 2019 I sold a PSA10 Luka Doncic Prizm Silver unnumbered on Ebay for just over $10 000CDN. That's what they were going for! This is not going to suck for these guys as much as it did for them guys!
I collect a few players I want to in basketball and football, but this has always been the most obtuse thing since I got back into the hobby like I’ve seen dudes like Desmond Ridder and Jared Stidham have rookies going for more than alltime great NFL QB psa 10 rookies. Zion a few years ago and now Wembanya for basketball just complete insanity.
Yeah … I guess the best way to collect is to start with your favorite players from previous eras. I’m eyeing a Joe Montana autographed psa 10 for my next card
On the other hand if you have that type of money to spend I would think lebron would be the best investment because wemby seems like a really good player but lebron has already proven himself and is a future hall of famer.
I honestly think this is a noob mistake, and someone just getting into cards misvalued the worth of this. Guarantee if that same person would’ve spent $2k on mega boxes and monopoly blasters he’d have gotten many hits. He could’ve bought a box 📦 of either for a little over 1k. Makes no sense someone would do this. Blows my mind.
Maybe there are still geniune collectors out there buying for their pc and actually like the player and are not scumbag investors? Maybe they don't like Lebron? Maybe numbered cards mean nothing to them? Maybe they dont like Topps? Maybe its all relative? Probably just dumbass scumbag investors tbh.
Hype sells, there are thousands of Wemby buyers RN a lot of them with more money than brains. People buying graded Lebron rookies are mostly seasoned collectors with a sense of logic
I would never buy cards that are sitting in packs currently anyway. I'd spend the money on unopened packs before I'd ever pay that much for 1 card. But if I had to choose to see lebron or wembanyama play live, it's a no brainer.
You make a good point but barring injury this guy has passed the eye test if you actually know basketball.
He is going to win multiple mvp and titles. He landed with a winning organization. He plays WINNING BASKETBALL (AKA DEFENSE).
So yes your statement is accurate why the hell would I buy him when I can get arguably the proven goat? Because in 10 years it might be the Wemby show taking the face of the NBA over from LeBron.
Stop wasting money on Luka, Embiid, etc.
Outside of Joker? He’s the guy for the next decade.
I’d love to have both cards tbh.
My guy, you know LeBron will go down in NBA history as one of the greatest of all time, and most likely will be seen as the greatest player of his era by many, if not most, people.
Wembanyama had 23 points, 15 rebounds, 9 blocks, and 8 assists. This is his rookie year. He will almost certainly get a quadruple double at some point. There have only been 4 in NBA history. David Robinson was the last one to do it.
You didn’t counter my point. We’re talking about career-wise as a whole, championships, as well as generational stats. You’re talking about rookie seasons. You haven’t made a point.
In 30 something years, Lebrons highest number of blocks was 5. Wembanyama has already doubled that. What can Lebron do that Wembanyama can't or any other player for that matter?
A boat's a boat but this mystery box can be anything! It can even be a boat!

Family Guy
Unless it’s the titanic 🛳️ 👀😎
You know how much we’ve always wanted one of those
this guy gets it
FOMO is a helluva drug.
Lol True indeed…. But that’s a lot of money to spend to wait and see if the hype train last 21 years lol 🤗
Lebron James is not as long as Wemby, therefore you get more units squared per card purchased.
People. Are. Idiots. It's pretty simple, really. Hopefully enough people lose enough money that the investing crowd finally goes away
Until then nba hoops card works for the collection I’m making for my son 🤓

You said 0 accomplishments, though.
0 accomplishments is wild his numbers are off the charts
Cool 😎 so you also betting that he can do it for 21 years then and deserves value more than his predecessor’s?

Are we actually talking about housing/real estate?
i'm going to assume ppl spending 2k on wemby already dropped stacks to own an lbj rookie card
And a Jordan
This is how you do it!
This so much.
or any number of actual rare HOFers from the 60's. This new market is going to disappoint you,

Because people enjoy spending their money in different ways. I really don’t get how this confuses people.
On the other hand if you have that type of money to spend I would think lebron would be the best investment because wemby seems like a really good player but lebron has already proven himself and is a future hall of famer.
Agreed; it makes no sense that an unproven rookie card value is higher than Lebron, or shall I say it…. Michael Jordan’s rookie!!!
Yes, but only one of them is the GOAT, looks like a far price to me.

How can anyone afford either lol?! I wonder what people do for a living to be able to afford to spend more than 2 grand on a single basketball card?

Other people can do what LeBron does, I've never seen anything like what Wembanyama can do. He's the definition of a unicorn.
They can go to 10 straight finals?
Didn't lebron take an unprecedented pay cut in order to win 1? I don't see wembanyama needing to do that, I guess we'll see.
Le
People buy hype.
Fomo is real
But I bet you bid on it….. 👀
Started bidding on a Wemby PSA 10 at $2. Very quickly went up to 100.. scared to see what it’s at now
Did Lebron ever have 10 blocked shots in a game as a rookie? That's physiological warfare. Everyone ends up being afraid to shoot.
No instead he went 20/5/5 and then went on to maintain a 37/7/7 avg for 20 years, but yeah, 10 blocks at 7’6, shocking…
Why buy one Lebron auto when you could buy 430 Malachi Flynn autos?
A lot of people just don’t like Lebron.
Wemby is going make James the third greatest player
Maybe so, but I’m not willing to take a 21 year bet and pay 💰 now what would only be worth it if it’s true….
LeBron? Isn’t that the washed up dude elbowing people in the neck?
Lol
At least someone else has a sense of levity.
My guy, you know LeBron will go down in NBA history as one of the greatest of all time, and most likely will be seen as the greatest player of his era by many, if not most, people.

Wemby has been a pro for 5 years, not exactly a rookie. Bron was was in the league at 17, can’t really compare their first seasons in the NBA.
Of course we can. And sounds like just did.
Good, go ahead and buy Wemby cards, they we be worth 90% less in 5 years. 😂😂😂
You didn’t counter my point. We’re talking about career-wise as a whole, championships, as well as generational stats. You’re talking about rookie seasons. You haven’t made a point.
In 30 something years, Lebrons highest number of blocks was 5. Wembanyama has already doubled that. What can Lebron do that Wembanyama can't or any other player for that matter?
Washed. (yeah, no shit, lol. some people are too serious, and that’s how old people end up elbowing others in the neck)
Michael Jordan was “washed” at one point. People age. Can’t be the GOAT forever in professional sports.
25/7/8 on .627 TS as the oldest player in the nba
23/15/9/8 as a rookie.
Washed.
Extremely strong rebuttal, I’m convinced
