Paid 10k sterlings (?) for a box and pulled cards worth 6k and 50-250k.
I understand the older ones where the limited supply but these are 2020.
Feel like it's the newest scam after sneaker and video game collecting fell off.
That Brady card isn't worth anything near those high figures.
There's sports-card twitter if you're really interested sigley. I collect basketball cards and the market exploded higher during Covid, is selling off now but still much higher than March. Soccer did also.
You could pull a Zion logoman auto rookie from National Treasures and that's probably worth $100k or so, but it would take you probably over 100 cases or more to get there unless you got really lucky, and that's $1.6m worth. Sure, you'll pull other nice cards but you're looking at least a 25-50%+ loss to make up for all the Tobias Harris and Romeo Langfords you get.
The smart buy when Covid started was to stock up on vintage HOFers in high-grade: Russell, Wilt, Erving, Oscar, West, Elgin, Maravich, Bird/Magic. Their rookies went for comparatively little compared to Luka and Zion and Trae Young. Before selling off recently, a Dr J rookie PSA 8 went up 16x in ~18 months, for example.
