Card collectors, help me out

[Goldstar88]

Out of curiosity, if there was a combo of three guys you'd want to get on the same card, who would it be?

The most valuable would be MJ/Kobe/Lebron, I think.  My favorite would be the three I have here.  The one I haven't seen yet is something involving JT and JB on the same card, with anybody (White, KP, Jrue, Horford would all work).  A "dream" card that is an impossibility (other than with cut signatures) would be Russell, Wilt and maybe Kareem.

You have the combo I would want.

Same.

This is mind blowing to me:

Believe a Kobe RC sold for a record $3M+ this month as well.

Have you gone on eBay and searched the card?

If you do a search for the card and filter the results for sold prices you could possibly see what someone was already willing to pay for it


***Edit. I looked myself and someone sold one last week on eBay.  They were selling for $33k and took a best offer.  There?s a way to find out what that final price was and for the life of me I can?t remember.

Ha.  I love Cooper Flagg and have a few of his signed rookie cards at this point, but my price range is more $800, not $8,000,000.  That is an insane value to put on card like that.  Sure, it's scarce, but ultimately he's just a good player with really high potential.  To justify that value, to me he'd need to be at least Lebron-level or win 6+ titles, and I don't think he'll ever touch that.

I was thinking about buying a few Coop rookies, but I?m not a huge fan of how the new Topps NBA cards look. Panini did a much better job, IMO. I did buy a few more Tatum Rookies this summer. Some Wemby as well. It?s a fun Hobby.

For the last month or so MJ and Shaq cards have been skyrocketing.

I've got nothing against people spending real money on cards if they have it to burn, and enjoy it.

That said, printing multi-million dollars cards out of thin air, for players at the level of Cooper Flagg means the industry is in a downright shady bubble of money laundering, wash trading, price fixing... all of the good stuff. It's practically at Bored Apes level right now. Not good.
