I think a lot of newbies with money got talked into stuff like this. Could be wrong.

IMO the whole BGS Black Label thing is rather foolish to begin with, and, if an expose on Blowout is to be believed, subject to favoritism if not outright corruption. Textbook example of buying the flip. Nothing wrong with that until you lose a million on it.

They put together a pretty compelling case. Not that anyone bidding seems to care.

Some of the denial posts in that thread were pathetic beyond words..

A classic of the genre. It may be better than any of the altered card posts.

This recent explosion fueled by sneakerheads and fashion-flippers was heavy in on football and basketball. It's been a harder drop than in the past.

We did get some neat/weird stuff attempting to cater to that crowd, though. I am a fan some of the Topps Project 70 (and similar) issues to appeal to that demographic's sense of style.

One interesting way to spend some time is looking on whatnot at the livestreams for cards there. If you want to see how circular and overabundant the modern market is, take a look. Very few sellers offering anything made before 2000, especially in the basketball area. You will also see just how ignorant modern dealers are. I had a hilarious exchange with a completely clueless seller who supposedly had vintage basketball cards. He asked what I was interested in. I wrote "Lakers cards." I then added: "Showtime era" so he wouldn't bother pulling LeBron cards.

He said OK and started to look for items, going on about Kobe Bryant, and it became apparent he had no idea what the Showtime era Lakers were.

I added "Magic and Big Game James."

He said "you mean like Orlando Magic?"

I said "No. Magic Johnson." He said, "oh, sure, everyone likes him. I have some Shaq cards." Which are 20 years later.

I logged off.
