Awesome -- keep doing the Lord's work, Jeffrey! It truly was an Equal Opportunity crime.

Pretty hard to justify investing in either at this point.

Im Still selling cards and buying energy and dividend stocks

I'll bet there are a lot of younger collectors out there who have been longing for one of these for a long time!

Ha! My post was actually a joke, but I guess the joke was on whoever started this thing at 30K. These days, though, who the heck knows?

It is certainly not the lane I play in, but it is a place in the hobby some do. I prefer my players dead.

I received this in some email blast that was relevant for that particular box, sale method and ultimately where these boxes go:

The other thing I couldn’t stop thinking about was how mispriced Panini’s Rookie Royalty set was, dropping all the way from a $30,000 starting price to around $3,000. As a huge Caitlin Clark fan and WNBA collector, I’d love to buy in, but I can’t even afford a break, let alone a full box. Break pricing for Rookie Royalty spots is popping up on various apps, and it looks like some shops are splitting two-card boxes into up to 58 spots, perhaps the worst odds to hit of all time. Still, with multiple Caitlin Clark cards selling for six figures in the last few weeks alone, a few people are going to have their lives changed by this product in the next few weeks (if not already).

I was at a car dealership this week -- the same model I bought 8 years ago is now 50% more expensive. Just brutal. I suppose that's a better markup than groceries over that time.

That's surprisingly little given how enthusiastically the Government has been debasing the currency over the last eight (actually 80+) years.

I don't even know what that is, nor do I care. I am glad youngsters are gambling with cards so much. I am sure it's exhilirating for them. Me, I take a hundred bucks to the casino for the day, and I am done. That's the extent of my gambling.
