How long ago was this dude shamelessly pumping massively produced BKB rookies as the next big thing?

I have been told that Net54baseball should have NFTs. It's not like I am into all that stuff but it's sort of interesting. I don't get it, but there's a lot of money supposedly. Next thing they would want us to do Instagram or Facebook or some such stuff...
The one interesting aspect is there is a possibility it could make it a more cohesive site, I am told, I just don't know how LOL

I'd rather have nft's(whatever they are) than Instagram or Facebook. Hang tough Leon!

I think the way the forum operates now is fantastic. I do not think NFT's are built to last, I think it's a massive propped up scam. If needed I'd gladly donate to the site though. Can only imagine what costs are like to run this operation, Leon.

No, no, no, noooo..... NFT's are becoming and will continue to be so impactful in everyday life, it's CRAZY. We'll get past these stupid rocks being traded for $10,000's - it's about ownership and provenance. NFT's in the video game space are about to explode to levels that are unimaginable.... think about the possibility of taking your super cool weapon to any game within a platform (CoD, Fortnight, etc.) You own it, they make it possible by integrating NFT support and now my Leisure Suit Larry avatar is good in Fortnight! Sounds crazy to some, but blockchain and NFT technology will make it happen.

And when you're done with it, put it on the market and sell it!!!!

OK - back to cards! Anyone see that e92 Dockman Cy Young posted over in BST? It's 'only' a PSA 5 but a true thing of beauty!!

So PSA wouldn’t slab my trimmed 49 Jackie, but they slabbed a random guys stick figure drawing of an elephant.

Is this real life?

Please stick with fungibles. I am too old to get up to speed on non-fungible tokens.

LOL guys.
It doesn't cost a whole lot to run the forum. Mostly it's time put in. Instead of Net54 NFTs I think we will go with Net54 pet rocks.

But there are some smart folks that really believe in that stuff. I am not personally there yet.

Our culture loves this stuff. Amazing how we need influencers now to get through life. Whatever happened to just being you? Anyway, Gary will make another killing on this latest push and no shock that PSA got behind it. I am sure PSA would have done it for any of us had we had the brains to do what Gary V did.

He played a huge role in destroying the basketball card hobby. Whatever he starts babbling about, his sheep will jump all over it!
