Could listen to Eric all day. What a legend

Eric is absolutely on another level! 🤯🤣

General Public recognizes the base rookies over the inserts and signatures. They have a more nostalgic relationships with regular cards... which tends to draw the less sophisticated collectors that happen to be the majority. Inserts and autos are definitely more rare and in a class by themselves... there’s no right or wrong. Positive positions for both groups.

Definitely can separate the casuals or people only in the hobby for the money by the cards that are their favorites or the ones they show off. I started making it a goal to collect autos about 10 years ago and to aggressively pursue autos of my favorite players. I try to spit up my money into buying more investment worthy cards of my favorite players, then I will pick up some graded investment rookies maybe with bigger upside as my secondary, 3rd is some ungraded gambles, and 4th I'll pick up some autos or cards I just like the look of knowing full well they probably aren't going to increase in value all that much. Out of my monthly budget probably like 50 is priority 1 (picking up cards of players I really believe in and like most that are already established), priority 2 is probably 20%, 3rd is 20% is ungraded, and 4th is like 10% ($200-1000 a month depending on cash flow and sales). Obviously #1 priority makes me the most happy, my last big purchase was a Optic Gold Auto Shai 2/10 PSA 10 for 4k last week, but man sometimes those couple hundred autos make me the most happy to look at. 95% of autos I buy are hard signed. Sometimes you hit some home runs too on the ungraded I bought a 20 card lot of 1981 Topps basketball for $100 got a PSA 10 Kareem Abdul Jabbar out of it and a PSA 8 Magic Johnson. Guy thought they were damaged with gum residue but that stuff comes off pretty easy with some nylon and elbow grease.

Those Kobe's 🔥🔥. I would be happy with just one. That guy that had those at the booth...dropped some genuine knowledge. 👌🏼

Eric giving us fire Kobe slabs and a Sunday service haha love that dude's vibe. Super chill and knowledgeable!

Not gonna lie I’m such a huge fan of the upper deck cards from the late 90’s and early 2000’s. That Kobe clear cut is beautiful!

My feeling on the price increases is that the dollar is being devalued due to the fed printing money endlessly to boost the economy right now due to covid. People and especially younger people don't understand how money works. For every dollar the federal reserve prints, every other dollar is worth less. The more in circulation the less they are worth. Look up the video from 60 minutes where the fed chairman admits to flooding the economy with money. You make all this cash but you don't understand how money actually works. Get educated and invest some of that card money in alternative assets like crypto. Just my two cents.

Awesome video brother! Thank you for sharing

Those EXQUISITE Jordans, Kobes and Lebrons have always been THE cards to get and hold forever. Trumps everything in the end. Absolute GRAILS and forever iconic.

The game this man Erikk just spit is priceless. Imma watch this video 3 years from now...🔥🔥 #droppinggems

When you hoard all the kobes so you have to sell them some to make the others worth more🤯 playing chess while everyone’s playing checkers

I worked at a place called Brian's Toys for like 4 years. It was a fun job, they specialize in vintage sw. brianstoys.com if you're into that. Anyways the owner has this Mego Superman Figure from the 60's still in package on the card and AFA Graded. He needs to put that card on ebay every year for at least awhile to people don't forget about its existence and it loses value. He normally lists it at $100k cause he doesn't REALLY wanna sell it, but if someone were to offer that he'd take it lol

How do y’all feel about early Kobe autos. I mean his RC autos where he’s in his H.S Jersey because the company didn’t have licensing for his NBA jersey pictures. He only signed his last name on two card variations. One is Score Board and the other is Press Pass.

Great content Sash, Crazy Kobe's.

I disagree with the 9’s going down. The 9’s will be going up because the demand for the grail is waaaaaayyyyyy tooooo strong. It’s always about supply and demand. 2000 cards is not that many cards with the amount of people jumping in.

Inspired me to start my channel bro! Made some good pick ups at the show. Lots of great cards

Interesting how people chase the big names always. You can find dirt cheap HOF players in football and baseball w/ low pops. At some point the fund flows will take these players pops to almost nothing and prices won’t go anywhere but up. The pump will come when they’re done.

The Kobe is a beautiful card

You where correct, episode was straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Don't buy ungraded from guys that are also selling graded #1 tip. And look out for older thrift shop type ebay stores, where the priority is less on cards, you can find some absolute gems because they don't grade their cards and don't know much about condition affecting prices (sometimes that can be a negative too because they can't accurately tell you the condition) but I'd rather take a shot on that then the alternative.
