    Mr Wonderful pooled money together with 2 other people to buy the Kobe Jordan auto logoman.  Now its a super rare card that most of us would never own anyways.

    So the whales are coming in with piles of cash and buying up rare cards as assets and expanding their portfolio.

    So If you hit something rare good for you.  You can get a truckload for it.

    Crazy Ohtani market going on right now. Prices have doubled in the last month. 

    Jordan inserts are climbing again. 

    Pokemon cards are off the chain. 

    There are people with money only looking to flip cards. I’m seeing fewer and fewer collectors now.

    Lots of fakes out there.  I’d have no idea how to tell what’s real.
