Adz
Welcome everybody to episode 131 of the you can't comp these Mba trading card podcast. We are your host Adam Amy and Russell Gibson Sunday night and um.

00:20.40
youcantcompthis
Yeah, happy to be here.

00:24.10
Adz
It's ah it's it's It's been a minute since the the all-star game. Do we want to just kick it off with that.

00:30.33
youcantcompthis
We can if you want but I think for me in my head. It's just prison prison prison prison prison prison prison Pris at the moment. So I think um I think if we're doing things chronologically though we should do the all start weekend first right.

00:37.48
Adz
Prism. Well, it's very quick. The all star weekend. They need to change it and they need to change it quickly I I saw the score and I don't know what that.

00:44.28
youcantcompthis
Yeah, cool. So what should they change? yeah.

00:53.82
Adz
Somebody said it to me the other night. A friend of mine said they need to get a big sponsor on board and it's literally like $25000000 just throw it at it and go the winning team gets this like.

01:01.83
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah I agree with that? Yeah, and if that doesn't motivate them to play hard. You know what motivates them to play her. Yeah.

01:11.42
Adz
Yeah, yeah, some some massive monetary thing. It just just make them play basketball again because this isn't this. This isn't the all-star games where.

01:19.22
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:25.28
Adz
Kobe's going at Jordan and trying and do you know I mean like actually trying to play basketball.

01:28.23
youcantcompthis
But there is some cool matchups like Yarnas and KD like that's a pretty sick matchup I want to see those 2 play hard against each other. Yeah.

01:34.66
Adz
If they're playing hard against 1 another rather than soft as butter and I don't know some stuff I've saw ah the the low lights that I saw were not. We're not pleasing at all I watched a couple of snippets and just I couldn't I couldn't.

01:46.75
youcantcompthis
Did you watch the whole game or just the highlights. Yeah yeah.

01:54.11
Adz
Ah, couldn't stomach it it just it felt like a ah real fast to um, yeah yeah, it was.

01:59.92
youcantcompthis
So my normal tradition and this has been happening for a long time for me now is I watched the all-star game and I order Kfc and then we sit down and eat fried chicken and watch the game. It's just don't ask me why that's just what we do and then I didn't do it last year and then this year I didn't watch the game at all.

02:16.91
Adz
Did you get fried chicken should have be exactly.

02:19.90
youcantcompthis
And I watched no I didn't but I can make up for fried chicken on another day like that's that's fixable. You know, but look I enjoyed the highlights I thought that was good. So my takeaway out of this and this is the 1 thing I want to talk to you about and this is high end speculation here. What did you think about the chemistry between Luka donchitch and Nicola jokick.

02:42.80
Adz
Interesting. It's interesting.

02:46.55
youcantcompthis
Like you can't ignore that stuff we've had so many team Usa interactions then becoming teammates. You know I I love that.

02:51.52
Adz
True.

03:00.38
Adz
Um, and they yeah there's chemistry there.

03:06.30
youcantcompthis
I Love that sort of speculation when you're creating storylines out of you know, absolutely nothing and that to me is like you know pure conspiracy theories at its best. So I want to bookmark this moment in time if they do become teammates in the future. That's it.

03:17.71
Adz
You heard it here first. Twenty fifth of February Two Thousand and twenty four back to back mac m c lung is in the house.

03:23.52
youcantcompthis
The second thing I wanted to talk to you about was the dun comp who.

03:31.20
youcantcompthis
Who would you like to see in the dun comp because I don't want to see Mac like I'm sorry I know that's disrespectful and he's a back to back winner all that stuff. But I I don't want to see this guy in the donk competition.

03:46.82
Adz
It's gonna come in next year like big gold chains and like just wrappping it.

03:48.58
youcantcompthis
He he deserves it. He's back to back like that's fine. You know he's earned his place like you know you can't take that away from him but let's just say he never was in there and which I don't think you should have been in the first place who should be there who would you want to see okay, cool.

04:00.93
Adz
Jaylen Brown I thought he was fantastic I I applaud Jalen Brown for giving it a crack. Um, you know what? let Aaron Gordon have another crack at it.

04:08.36
youcantcompthis
Ah, hundred percent I'm not going to see her criticize the guy.

04:14.97
youcantcompthis
Yeah, cool.

04:18.31
Adz
Zalavals aclavine's always injured these days but do you know what? I mean like Aaron doesn't Aaron Gordon have the most 50 s in dunk comp test history without a dunk contest win like you want to see those players.

04:35.64
youcantcompthis
Yeah, definitely.

04:35.68
Adz
The ones that can dunk dunk like this whole we're scared. We're going to get injured I understand look I understand it's business right? but but part of this business is the alltar game and if it's a complete and other train wreck when you're showcasing the best of the best. Um.

04:54.89
Adz
I Don't know I just I Just don't I don't buy it the way It's packaged at the moment.

05:02.66
youcantcompthis
Did you see the clip of Stephen a going off about how Lebron James ruined the all-star game and he's responsible for you know people not taking it seriously. So I um I need to tread carefully you i.

05:11.40
Adz
I've heard about the rant.

05:17.74
Adz
There.

05:20.41
youcantcompthis
Agree with what he's saying to a degree and so for example, the the dun competition the all-star game. You can't I don't think that's fair to put that onto Lebron but the dun competition I definitely think that because there was definitely times when Lebron still had the athleticism. And just decline not to participate and I think once the big dog stops stepping away. It makes it easier for the next person down and then easier for the next person you know and sort of so on and so forth. So that's probably where I'm at with that. So.

05:54.35
Adz
Yeah, Ill look probably wasn't the um probably wasn't the first to do it. But it's it's definitely.

05:56.38
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

06:06.56
Adz
Yeah, there's some trends that have been set I don't know what did you think of the Steph versus Sabrina thing.

06:13.27
youcantcompthis
I loved that I think that's the time of thing that actually brings excitement to it and I think Steph Curry is such a great ambassador. So okay, let's let's hold that thought in terms of what I just said about Lebron James how he didn't want to participate and then you've got someone like Steph Curry

06:19.53
Adz
Ah.

06:30.24
Adz
Yep.

06:32.90
youcantcompthis
But that's fun. It's fun to participate. It's fun to have a go and it does create excitement and so I think you know my love for W Nba Cards and we're actually talking about this on the break the night within the group and that I feel like there's a real sort of rising for wmba.

06:35.30
Adz
Yeah.

06:52.44
youcantcompthis
Cards and more people are you know, beginning to chase them and I think doing things like that and look I think she could have shot better. You know I'm not saying she shot perfectly but at the same time I thought she showed out really well.

07:04.63
Adz
Didn't she 26 or something it would like it was yeah.

07:06.53
youcantcompthis
I I thought she showed out really well you know I I think she should be proud of herself and all that sort of stuff I I think that's great for wba by the way and and the role and effect for hobby you know too. So you know I love that a lot saying that. Ah I do want to take you back to who's the 4 dunkers that you want to see.

07:14.46
Adz
Um, yeah.

07:20.56
Adz
Um.

07:24.95
youcantcompthis
In a dumb competition. Yeah, cool. Yeah, okay.

07:26.19
Adz
All right? So I've got Aaron Gordon Jaylen Brown um or I'm not really I don't pay attention enough to to ingame dunkers.

07:43.85
Adz
Like I want to see someone that's won the title before have another crack at it. Um I think the winner I mean as obviously Mac Mcclung's back this year so whoever the reigning champion is should return to to to.

07:46.20
youcantcompthis
Um, yeah.

07:59.52
youcantcompthis
Sure Yeah I'm I'm down with that.

07:59.64
Adz
To defend their title so to speak. But it's it's It's one of those. Maybe maybe the fans should vote. Do you not know me like maybe but maybe it's something that the fans should.

08:11.30
youcantcompthis
Okay.

08:18.21
youcantcompthis
Like the starters of the all star game. You get to peak who goes in the dark competition. Yeah, that's kind of cool. Actually that's a good idea. Yeah yeah.

08:19.60
Adz
Have a say on correct you know I mean because that is a popularity contest right? We want to watch this person dunk you're gonna vote for the the people in the 3 point contest good.

08:34.66
youcantcompthis
Why not no seriously why not.

08:37.25
Adz
Well, you could its I feel like Dwight Howard would end up in a in a 3 point contest. It would be interesting I guess but you know I mean like people would put true like someone would just get troll voted as a bad 3 point shooter.

08:47.10
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah.

08:52.63
youcantcompthis
Um, yeah yeah I was actually thinking Steph Curry in the dun competition.

08:55.72
Adz
Into the into the contest. That would be funny I would be like come on stand for let's see what you got getting tired and have the dunk competition before the 3 point just so his arms were a bit sore.

09:11.70
youcantcompthis
So all right for for my dunk competition list. Actually I want to see Lebron I know I'm not the biggest lebron guy in the world. But I also know when someone is great and I think he could do some cool stuff. So I think he should be there.

09:17.93
Adz
Okay.

09:29.63
youcantcompthis
I love Jaylen Green I think that guy is like ridiculous now this next list I was trying to get it down to four but it's not going to happen I agree with you on the returning champ Mac Mcclung I want to see Derek Jones Junior I think he's dunking is just like out of this world then the so when I start to say these you'll be like oh this is so obvious Jama an.

09:39.36
Adz
Yep.

09:48.90
Adz
Ah, yeah for sure.

09:48.98
youcantcompthis
Zion and Yanis can you imagine how sick that would be like those guys just you know face-to-face in a dun competition. Yeah.

09:52.41
Adz
Yeah i' want to put someone that doesn't look like they dunk much like a luca or something Luca in yokitch just chuck them mean.

10:02.40
youcantcompthis
Yeah I reckon Luca would have a hard time. Yeah. Ah, yeah, would be the first person to get a one on a maid dunker I can.

10:15.39
Adz
That's it you turn it into this huge 3 point contest where both ends are going and you put bad shooters as well.

10:23.50
youcantcompthis
Ah, so lila gets Mvp and I think that is relatively important for you know the season when you look back on it I I like that as an idea I know Bill Simmons is like he thinks it's all about that. Maybe not so much these days because the way that. Competition's gone down so I thought good opportunity for us to have a look at lillardd this actually I am shocked by this because I think with him changing teams going to a genuine contender even though they're not playing fantastic under dock I thought his prices would have skyrocketed so.

10:42.69
Adz
Okay.

10:59.00
youcantcompthis
In the last year he's actually down and he's down 35 if you zoom in to say three months. He's pretty steady at minus six percent so ah honestly I I would have thought he'd be up 35% not down 35% sometimes all this stuff just makes me a little bit a little bit confusing to be honest.

11:17.76
Adz
Ah.

11:22.42
Adz
It's very interesting because um, there is stuff at the start of the the start of the season when people are talking about like Janis has said that this is his team.

11:33.90
youcantcompthis
I'm fine with that I Still think there's room for lilid in the Hobby space despite that you know.

11:36.22
Adz
I Just I Just don't know if the people in the Hobby believe it. It's interesting.

11:44.36
youcantcompthis
He's actually he's actually down massively so in the last two years he's down 63 so pop of maybe that and maybe the hobby but so pop 41 on this. This is ah this is a cool question.

11:50.66
Adz
That's more of a decline in Portland though.

12:00.94
youcantcompthis
Biho will sell at 1435

12:03.62
Adz
I Think it's a buy I Definitely think it's a buy.

12:13.67
youcantcompthis
Look that to me is super intriguing just for the fact of the you know the championship potential I think Janis has moved into that sort of and I'm saying psycho in ah in a complimentary way where he just wants to win.

12:16.94
Adz
Yeah, yeah.

12:27.31
Adz
Ah.

12:29.55
youcantcompthis
In that almost like Jordan crazy sort of way you know like.

12:33.70
Adz
He's very is is very focused on on winning.

12:36.11
youcantcompthis
I think the firing of Griffin like the bloody is on his hands. There's no doubt in my mind about that. Yeah, final thoughts before we move on.

12:41.75
Adz
A. Yeah, lilid's an interesting one and maybe maybe he's one of the the underrated stars of the the last decade as far as hobby wise. Maybe.

12:56.60
youcantcompthis
Okay, all right? So what had me thinking about a segment was we're at the halfway point of the season. So why don't we talk about our best buyers of the season so far. So. Thank you er around for contributing to the post if we look at the you can't comp this one first ads we've got Lachlan Blunt he has got a dollar card a pink cracked ice of Denny Agiva I think that's a really good buye at the moment. Actually I think Denny's on a really bad team. The only thing I'd say about Hume is that. Anything you're buying with Danny is in my mind a 3 year window there's no quick flip in Washington I like his legs I like the way that he plays I think he plays with a lot of hustle and athleticism and you know I think he's.

13:38.72
Adz
Yeah, that's true.

13:48.15
youcantcompthis
Got his head screwed on the right way despite being in you know a really terrible situation in Washington. So yeah, yeah, this is a ripper.

13:53.79
Adz
Next up Anthony Miln is a riffer Patrick Ewing Auto from ultimate is it upper deck is it? What's the set. 2003 ultimate signatures. It is upper deck Patrick Ewing it's a nice piece. Very nice piece.

14:11.69
youcantcompthis
Yeah, upper deck. Yeah, absolutely.

14:21.38
youcantcompthis
So I'm almost getting daily Dms from a very very passionate Patrick Ewing collector and he's engaging with Pat to do private signings. So.

14:33.83

Adz
Incredible night out and then another friend. Yeah, he updated his profile picture with a photo of him Scotty. So I'm incredibly jealous about but um, yeah Sports Heroes I Just I I do enjoy the um. The the meeting point. Yes, It's not like a starstruck. Don't know what to say but it's just like after witnessing everything that purse that Athlete has accomplished to just go up and kind of shake their hand and go you've done some amazing things and just that acknowledged just.

16:35.26
Adz
Sort of to be that close and yeah, they've seen a lot of the world like that that high elite level of competition is just it's like yeah.

16:44.11
youcantcompthis
Yeah I definitely agree with you in that there's a very strong correlation between high performing athletes and then other people who are high performing and you know the career and stuff like that. They've all got kind of like similar personality typings. Yeah, alrighty.

16:54.34
Adz
Um, yeah, yeah.

17:01.69
youcantcompthis
This is from Alan Wadder he's actually put up a few so that looks to me like a fractal rookie card of Anthony Edwards then a Tyrese Halliburton number to 25 that is amazing and that looks like from the Don Don Russ clearly set. Nice card there and then the last one he's got is a Anthony Edwards autograph so and again from rivo. So I'm picking up a bit of a theme of shiny cards there that Alan likes these pcs so there are beautiful cards made thanks for sharing.

17:32.75
Adz
What have we got next Jamie Fogg to nice some jayle duin that's um, what's that as's core kings. Yep.

18:01.72
youcantcompthis
What did you think of him on the show last week anything you wanted to rebut or um or put back to him now that he can't reply to us.

18:16.18
youcantcompthis
Yeah panini revolution josh hart galactic so that's the case hit there. Yeah lovely one PA nine on that and his boy shen goon on the.

Adz
Easy listening.

18:22.10
Adz
Oh that is very nice.

18:33.00
youcantcompthis
Deep blue so I'm going to guess that is number to one twenty five but please don't quote me on that. Okay I'll take I'll take you on that.

18:38.28
Adz
Ah, the blue be one ninety Nine I reckon 1 not one ninety Nine I think it is one forty nine anyway there is a few.

18:51.10
youcantcompthis
There's a heap of cards here isn't there. What how about we just pick out say 2 more and then we'll um, we'll close this one off where do you reckon? sure you go? Yeah, do that one.

18:56.27
Adz
What about demo winter bottoms winter bonds that that's a hell of a car.

19:08.38
youcantcompthis
It's the most demo thing we've got be sure.

19:09.99
Adz
It is a very demo I'll go a couple up though. There's a um Sean Alloway he's close second because his first one was ah a James Harden is that a blank slate.

19:22.51
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

19:25.30
Adz
Yeah I prefer the the one below it which is a of course I prefer it. It's a Scotty Pippen duncan go nuts any Houston jerseyie.

19:36.93
youcantcompthis
I Always honestly thought those cards said Donuts dunking donuts.

19:43.50
Adz
Ah I think they'd make more senses Duncan donuts and then you change the basketball to a donut and just why are we not in marketing our boy.

19:44.89
youcantcompthis
Yes.

19:55.88
youcantcompthis
We're definitely Mr. A calling right? So think I'll finish off this one. This is from ovan so oyvan. Thank you so much mate for contributing this one. This is the Anthony Edwards red stainless stars and in true or even fashion who loves a good set collect he you did the whole set. So.

20:11.21
Adz
Wow! Very impressive. Yeah lot of ant going around.

20:13.54
youcantcompthis
Beautiful chase made as always keep up the good work. Yep yeah, so buy out targets. Let's talk about buyout targets because it is that time of year where are you at with people being bought out. People joining teams. It hasn't actually been a heap of action has the killing Hays got waved. That's the big one I've been keeping an eye on heat and he still hasn't been added.

20:41.36
Adz
Killian Hayes was waived. Yeah, that was that was interesting, especially given it's sort of a there's a little lot of teams that do need like sort of backup guards.

20:48.30
youcantcompthis
Yeah, so if keeping that in mind so Joe Harris that's other one I'm really confused as to why he hasn't been picked up I feel like he's a surefire and Nba play for the next you know 10 years so be confusing on that one Thad young has joined the phoenix suns I think that's a really. Really good pickup for them just for a veteran a big body all that type of stuff and look they probably need another center there. But at the same time he can play you know some pinchmin's there so that's pretty good and then I think the other one is d like gelaninari. He's actually joined Doc in.

21:08.59
Adz
Ah.

21:25.50
Adz
Okay, Gallinari off to Milwaukee.

21:25.18
youcantcompthis
And Morearki so ah, look isn't on Isn's there a hobby value there at all I don't.

21:32.70
Adz
Like I don't think there's much yeah hobby wise I don't know maybe if Killian Hayes does end up with a different team that might be relevant everything else.

21:42.26
youcantcompthis
Definitely think that's one to watch but I think heavy investing in killing hayze at the moment I've I've described that as high risk behavior. Absolutely yeah.

21:48.40
Adz
High risk behavior Matthew Hull killing into the bulls I don't know if that's official or just a thought.

21:59.80
youcantcompthis
Grain. Okay, if he is That's fantastic. That's exactly what the bulls need and I haven't seen that reported yet. So.

22:06.28
Adz
I'm like yeah my big one was I looking at Seth Curry as well I hasn't he's is but he's with the hornets. So just a thought from Matthew.

22:08.39
youcantcompthis
Has he been bought out.

22:17.33
youcantcompthis
Yeah, sure I was gonna say I hadn't hadn't seen that reported so now I cannot remember the person who said this to me so this is not my own organic idea but Seth carry going to the hornets is deliberate to try and get staff there. How juicy is that.

22:33.10
Adz
Ah, of course of course and he's wearing. Um, yeah, he's wearing dell's number I believe yeah yeah, so that'll be yeah.

22:42.20
youcantcompthis
That's cool I love that? Yeah, that's super cool. Alrighty so a little little bit of injury news happening here. We've got a bit of quick hitting stuff tonight I have any Dyson Daniels has suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee and sideline indefinitely.

22:58.19
Adz
That's rough.

22:58.26
youcantcompthis
Haven't been able to find a updated injury report on this guy but look I think from the pelican's point of view particularly the way that they use him as a literal you know Jack of all trades I actually I think that's a big loss for them.

23:09.42
Adz
Um, yeah.

23:12.99
youcantcompthis
I Think in terms of you know, moving forward for him for his hobby value I don't see this as being you know, disastrous and he hasn't got you know huge Hobby values at the moment anyway. So I can't really see him cratering at all is this a good buy opportunity look actually it potentially could be because he might see a small dip and you can sort of get in there.

23:22.22
Adz
And yep, maybe.

23:32.36
youcantcompthis
I think his Mba potential is totally fine I don't think this is going to setting back and I think the other insurance policy too particularly for australians there's always going to be that homegrown alument and interest and stuff like that. So I think that's you know he's going to be totally fine. Long term. Yeah.

23:47.64
Adz
It'll be fine. Yeah.

23:50.43
youcantcompthis
1 that I am concerned about is this next one so Pat will so he's basically had a stress reaction in his foot the symptoms that he had was bona dema and so now they've found that he's got a. Ah, foot stress reaction. So essentially he's gonna have surgery and is is done for the year look I think my gut feeling with this guy now is this is the second sort of major or you know long term injury whether you call a foot major or not I think it is I mean.

24:11.79
Adz
Yep, concerning.

24:26.43
youcantcompthis
Katie's had ongoing foot problems. There's been other nba stars that have had foot problems and you know have come back and had you know, very successful careers I think my issue with these guys actually I thought he was making really nice progress this year I was going to say significant. But that's that's probably going a little bit. Ott. Like I thought defensively he was playing well I thought rebounding he was definitely you know getting that and offensively he was picking his spots and like dare I say it he was actually driving the ball to the basket I you know I think for him that's that's major you know improvement look I think if you look at this from a cup half empty you say.

24:56.93
Adz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

25:05.81
youcantcompthis
He's already a bit of a slow poke. He's already seemed to be a little bit undermotivated now he's got this horrible injury that he needs to you know finesse for the next six months I get that on the cup half full. He's still very young. Yeah look.

25:12.14
Adz
Yeah, fish oil. Yeah, that's that's very reasonable like yeah yeah.

25:24.30
youcantcompthis
I'll say this before that he was injured that the bulls should have been blowing it up and I'm quadrupling down on this. They should have blown that team up particularly now their best player is well in my mind. Their best player is now at injured I Just think this is devastating for their team.

25:35.95
Adz
Yeah, well you would double doubling down Now you're triple doubling down to keep it basketball relevant I guess.

25:43.34
youcantcompthis
Yeah I'll I'll settle with a triple double but you can get a quadruple double. There was a a female high school play that had a Quan Quin twople duppel this week Hope I said that word right.

25:53.10
Adz
It's true.

26:01.20
Adz
Quintuple double just the answer. Ah.

26:07.93
youcantcompthis
Ah I wish I had that much talent add on the on the basketball court. You know.

26:10.27
Adz
Was it Dreyenar Draymond got a triple double without points.

26:14.39
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Was that technical fouls was it a suspension. What was it. That's low hanging fruit isn't up.

26:20.95
Adz
No, it was it was steels it was steels. It was rebounds our port poor Drymond Poor drymond.

26:31.77
youcantcompthis
So we need to start practicing this I think we should say we're about to go for a break now and our first advertisement for this week is our friends at EJCarts

26:35.83
Adz
Yes, yes.

26:45.34
youcantcompthis
They have very kindly given us a promo code for our listeners a free express shipping on orders greater than $50 if you go to our Facebook page I've pinned it at the top of the of the listings you'll find it in the featured post. It's it's either gonna be the first or the second post It's a very long. Winded promo code so you need to copy and paste it in if you want the t's and cs. It's all in the comments. Basically you just can't ship too much heavy stuff for the free shipping. But if you're buying cards and you're buying boxes. It'll be totally fine. Yeah, totally fine. Go nuts.

27:11.11
Adz
Yeah.

27:18.47
Adz
I can give it I can give it a crack reading out the code if you want y nine DJ 4 8 a r eight t b c tcb almost gave him the wrong code. Ah.

27:28.28
youcantcompthis
Tc B Yeah close enough. Yeah, all cabs. Absolutely.

27:33.40
Adz
All caps by the way shouting out that code.

27:39.36
youcantcompthis
So again, thank you EJCards for all your support and everything you've done for us and they have resigned back up of this again. So this is all very good. Yeah, alrighty absolutely so we haven't.

27:49.59
Adz
Sensational get cracking with those coat promo codes. Maybe they can work on giving so one that's like YCCT.

27:58.73
youcantcompthis
I did mention that to Rob and he said that it's in the pipeline but in the interim people can copy and paste it and save some cash. So yeah, so we completely sewayed the whole show tonight I wanted to talk about prism and we just.

28:04.40
Adz
Nice there a ZA.

28:18.39
youcantcompthis
Talked about 25 other things first.

28:18.52
Adz
Ah, it did that didn't I was like let's go to allar weekend and then forget about the time the start of the show I'm so sorry, let's get. Let's go back to to let's go back to let's go back to prism.

28:25.84
youcantcompthis
I Accept your apology right? Let's just talk about prism I think we have to talk about this look So these are my thoughts so far about prism is that photo dropped before Hobby this year which is totally fine. But.

28:41.61
Adz
Only.

28:44.33
youcantcompthis
That's how it happened and then day one a breaker in China hit the 1 of 1 black shimmer which is just really blows my mind how quickly cards are just you know being ripped these days and.

29:01.98
youcantcompthis
I'm actually not too sure. Is it because there's more product being ripped or is it just the fact that there's more social media. It's you know, displaying all this stuff and or is it I'm just spending more time on Instagram these days. So yeah, probably is right? isn't it.

29:11.60
Adz
Or um, combination of everything probably a combination of a lot I I am ah I'm shocked.

29:27.78
Adz
To see so many big hits for Wembby life. So early, it's It's very yeah, yeah, it's is this gonna devalue the product you reckon is gonna it's gonna.

29:28.68
youcantcompthis
Yeah, it's been crazy hasn't it. Yeah.

29:40.92
youcantcompthis
So Eric ah no I think it's ah I think it's exact opposite I think people so I think at the moment people are just that this is a fever pitch like people are just going absolutely nuts with this stuff and and frankly rightfully so like there's.

29:47.75
Adz
Create demand.

29:58.11
youcantcompthis
There's a very strong argument to be made that this is the product of the year because these are the essentially the chase cards for wembby like right? you are you i'm.

30:03.83
Adz
Yes, well given that there's no autographs on anything and this one doesn't say no. Autograph.

30:11.79
youcantcompthis
I will find it very difficult that you can change my mind that the Don Russ no autograph or the non-autograph as I was calling it on the podcast is going to be more important than the one of 1 or the number to 60 or the number to one twenty five or even like a silver you know so.

30:26.11
Adz
Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, that said can I can I question this card that's been pulled so that's just the first off the line 1 of 1

30:31.30
youcantcompthis
Yes, talk to me. If you go through the yeah then there'll be the choice nebula 1 of 3 so and look I'm not going to lie to you I haven't I don't comb checklist as much as you probably would I don't go to sleep at night going through all the checklists.

30:39.59
Adz
There's a different one of 1 and another set with a 1 of 1

30:56.73
youcantcompthis
Ah, generally not what I do but that's something we can do in the future. Is you know, go through the checklist and have a look at it. But at the same time too I mean is that exciting podcast content I mean probably not. We could touch on a couple but look I think.

30:57.71
Adz
Um, it's some yeah, did.

31:11.20
Adz
I'll tell you what? um I'm watching I'm watching the 1 of 1 get pulled that guy needs to put that card down before he wrecks it.

31:16.84
youcantcompthis
I Think that's high risk activity. You know I agree with you? Yeah and he's going Nuts too isn't he.

31:21.88
Adz
That is really unsettling watching this video of a guy hand shake like he's.

31:36.45
Adz
I'm just look at a veins popping on his wrist. It's just like you need to and let get that card. Go.

31:39.61
youcantcompthis
I wonder if they're the backyard breaks version of breaking in China.

31:43.68
Adz
Possible. It's no I can I've got a I've got to close that I it's just it. That's actually yeah yeah.

31:52.14
youcantcompthis
It's freaking you out so look a few others have been pulled to so the black gold number to 5 has come out I actually think in terms of the aesthetics of it that is a really really pristine looking card and then other thing I put into the run sheet too to talk to you about add is I think.

32:02.81
Adz
It is.

32:09.97
youcantcompthis
Over the years we've made our very fair share of jokes about backyard breaks and we've also speculated about them. You know, getting loaded boxes and all the rest of it. But what they did do recently which I think we need to pay them kudos for they actually set up breaking headquarters.

32:25.40
Adz
Ah.

32:29.88
youcantcompthis
Psa. So then when the big wembiess came out. They paid for the super express I'm sure they paid you know other money in addition to that too walked the card in 30 minutes later it's it's been slabbed so the orange number to 60 which is what they hit in their break. 30 minutes later it's out and psa 10 so you know I think that's the type of stuff that do we start seeing that more often happening you know it's such a good idea though. And.

32:49.65
Adz
Wow.

33:00.21
Adz
That's crazy I Ah look don't get me wrong. That's that that that's that's brilliant marketing like and and.

33:07.61
youcantcompthis
Um, yeah.

33:12.74
Adz
Yeah, if you've got that platform you you have to use it I guess and they've done that very well.

33:17.34
youcantcompthis
That's so clever you know and I think that's the type of thing that you know we can throw as much shade as we want at these guys and all the rest of it but they are also smart dudes and I think you can't take that away from them. That's just an absolute homerun So Congrats to the the brain's trust who ever thought that out you know I think that's fantastic and then.

33:23.94
Adz
Ah.

33:34.58
Adz
Yep.

33:35.28
youcantcompthis
Sort of leads me into my second point too. The other thing I've been very surprised Actually that's not the right thing but I've just I've just noticed that a lot is how much product is being sold like these Wembbys are just being flipped over at an alarming alarming sort the right word at an amazing rate and.

33:49.85
Adz
Um, yeah.

33:54.25
youcantcompthis
Again is this something that I'm just noticing is this just a new thing in the Hobby or is it just that you know the excitement is back and you know people are buying and selling cards Again, you know I think.

33:58.82
Adz
Ah.

34:02.96
Adz
Yeah, possible.

34:06.80
youcantcompthis
I think this is a really you know good thing for the hobby that we now have this like really big. You know, sort of chase card coming back again this in cards that people are excited about and we' were talking about this off-air. So if you go to 130 point you search for victor web on a prism. You can you know, bring up all the cards that are in so like. And insert out a prism that's a silver sold for 45 us another insert silver sold for 75 a base so not even a silver a base sold for eighty five Euros which is probably like around one hundred and thirty aussie dollars so you know it's it's big bucks.

34:37.83
Adz
Yeah.

34:42.23
youcantcompthis
£1500 which is essentially 3000 aussie that's a prism draft peaks card number to 10

34:50.13
Adz
Crazy.

34:51.79
youcantcompthis
Yeah I Just think yeah I think to a degree some of these purchases are probably not going to go down in the best way. But I also think too that we've had so much negativity we've had so many people saying you know the hobby is failing and dying and you know whatever else.

34:59.89
Adz
On.

35:09.10
youcantcompthis
Negative nellies have been rolling out this to me is the complete opposite. You know this is almost going back to nonsense territory of a couple of years ago when base cards were selling for stupid amounts of money.

35:09.44
Adz
And.

35:20.31
Adz
Yeah, when it was obviously the Lucas and tatums that were like 2 to three hundred bucks a piece or yeah, yeah.

35:24.72
youcantcompthis
Yeah, right? exactly? Yeah, so look. Ah' I'm actually not even going to sit here and say some of these purchases are bad I'm not going to say that I'm actually sitting here saying do you know? what? if people are happy doing this and this is what they want to do. I Say more power to you guys honestly. And yeah, and maybe this is my closing thought about this prism Slash Victor Wembberarda sort of scenario just the speed of the hobby is the thing That's really catching my eye. How quickly.

35:42.17
Adz
No.

35:57.11
Adz
Oh.

36:00.00
youcantcompthis
Breakers are getting cards out to people who are then getting them out to the secondary market and obviously it's it's a very unique example. But how quickly yeah, how quickly people are getting cards back from grading like there's s stuc cards already on the secondary market. Obviously that psa card you know I think that's going to do really well that.

36:05.97
Adz
Um, and offer grading.

36:17.76
youcantcompthis
That number to 60 ps a 10 I think that's gonna do yeah 30 minutes later they've got it there look I yeah literally walked it in. Yeah.

36:19.79
Adz
Ah, the the fact that like they're at headquarters. So if a big card breaks they they walk it in to get graded. It's nuts.

36:33.61
youcantcompthis
Final thoughts for you and webinar.

36:36.95
Adz
Um I need to get me some prism because I feel like I'll I'll miss out.

36:39.17
youcantcompthis
You That's right seen that sort of illustrates my point I think the excitement is back? yeah.

36:44.40
Adz
This is good and see how accessible the product is. But yeah.

36:51.94
youcantcompthis
Ah, there's heaps of blasters floating around man.

36:55.15
Adz
Yeah, yeah, and I think that's I'm just Goingnna go and um, yeah, treat myself to some so prison blasters maybe rather than random repax.

37:06.34
Adz
Yeah, no I don't want any more Boston cards. That's all I can say.

37:06.78
youcantcompthis
It's too soon to talk about this ah you could trade with al.

37:17.62
youcantcompthis
Alrighty next to the run sheett this is from you ad so I might let you guide this 1 through but Darius garland flawless rookie yeah.

37:24.24
Adz
I Have a card versus card. Yeah from that I spotted the other day on our with our lovely friends at Card Ladder I I Really enjoy it when when we get these when I see them pop up in my newsfeed.

37:31.78
youcantcompthis
Um, yeah, why.

37:38.67
youcantcompthis
Yeah, they're cool. Are they.

37:42.90
Adz
And it's not like we're not talking about a Jordan versus Lebron or anything like too crazy, but this is a nineteen Twenty panini flawless um yeah it's a it's a garland patch.

37:46.47
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

38:01.84
Adz
Nine point five number to 5 is a yep, the Emerald Nice chunky Patch 2 it's a rookie patch last off 3300 versus Ty Ree Maxi Vertical patch auto rookie rookie auto psa 9 both sold for 3300 now look It's probably a ah non a non comp when you when you think about um the trajectory both players are kind of on.

38:21.60
youcantcompthis
Interesting. Yeah.

38:40.42
Adz
Because is Garland still injured isn't he oh he's back? Um, but Maxe's just had this mega spike this year so I think max. Yeah, just as I say this John O'michaels has joined the chat I'm taking the maxixi all day. Um.

38:42.60
youcantcompthis
He's back now. Yeah.

38:55.92
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

38:59.82
Adz
But I still think it's props to Garland for this. What are your thoughts.

39:07.90
youcantcompthis
I Think when I initially looked at this. It's almost a no-brainer that you're going for the vertical rpa I Think that's I think that's pretty steady. But so I think you need to almost think about the the flip side. So why would someone spend.

39:15.40
Adz
Official.

39:25.82
youcantcompthis
Three thousand three hundred on that and particularly when it's sdc. You know it's not psa. So I think you really need to look at this maybe zoom out a little bit like is maxe just having a good ear and and in addition to that you know the shackles that which James Harden have been taken off him. And now mb is also not playing and maybe he's got a ah coach. That's more suited to him than what doc was do you know I mean like everything's sort of falling to the right place but when you zoom out and then you sort of say well hang on a second in 5 years who is going to be the better player is Darris Garland actually got more potential.

39:55.40
Adz
Yeah.

40:04.31
Adz
Trick.

40:05.50
youcantcompthis
Higher skill level. He says had a rough year look I think that injury that he had was a freak injury and you know it's not like a foot or a knee or a shoulder even you know So yeah, his jaw's gonna be fine. You know.

40:15.80
Adz
No, no, no, no, but it's um, it's interesting because I just um, just having a look like the the card ladder value on each card. The Garland card ladder value is 1778

40:33.69
Adz
And the card ladder value of the maxi was 5445

40:37.27
youcantcompthis
Look there is a difference between the 2 cards in that the maxi is to 15 and the garlin is to 5 So I think you have to you know somewhat consider that you then also have to consider the autograph thing I do think the autograph adds value to the to the Maxiic card.

40:48.32
Adz
Um, trick.

40:55.61
Adz
For sure I like I don't I don't disagree I'm I'm on I'm on the maxi. Um.

40:57.10
youcantcompthis
Look yeah I'm probably in that place too and and this is probably good of my my final thought here I wonder if the person who bought this was just like a garland superfan. Maybe there's some sho beating going on. You know you can't rule that out on Ebay or.

41:08.50
Adz
That's possible mean that's true.

41:15.41
youcantcompthis
Or any other beating platform like let's be realistic here. But yeah I got to say I think in terms of a card being liquid and you being able to sell it in the future I think the maxie is probably the card that you'll be able to turn over a little bit easier whereas to me that Garland is. High end pc so I think whoever bought that really badly wanted that card. Yeah, ah so look I would say congratulations to both buyers I think they're wonderful pickups and there's a small piece of me. That's a little bit you know envious of these type of things when I see them. It's like.

41:34.95
Adz
Bought it for a reason. Yeah, yeah for sure.

41:43.40
Adz
Oh.

41:50.73
Adz
Any other ah any other card Ladder headlines.

41:53.63
youcantcompthis
Look I'm going to keep putting Halliburton in because I think when we look back on this sort of twelve months I think Halliburton is going to be 1 of the more important hobby players and when I'm saying players I mean PLA y

42:01.31
Adz
No.

42:12.66
youcantcompthis
A s. This is the tyres Halliburton choice green prison which is number to 8 it just recently sold for 4500? Sorry 4000 440 look you know this is starting to move into that sort of rarefied air of you know you're you're paying you know huge amounts of money for these cards. You know the real question is I think I'm sort of almost echoing what I think you're going to say here is you're paying future prices for this.

42:40.87
Adz
Ah.

42:46.98
Adz
Yeah.

42:49.94
youcantcompthis
I actually see this as quite a risk just for the fact of you know once you saw a movie over that 5000 you know there's not that many buyers out there who are you know, willing to to pay that and but you know so what is his person betting on are they betting on that Halliburton's top 3 and Mvp this year that he's. All Mba first team is that you know what? what they're hoping for He's going to be that next year or is he going to be the Mvp in 2 years time because my Steve nationaly in my head is rock solid I think this kid is ridiculously good.

43:09.41
Adz
Is that what they're they're investing in or.

43:24.81
Adz
So why don't we why do we look at Steve Dash as a comparison.

43:29.98
youcantcompthis
Yes.

43:35.61
Adz
And the answer is because there are none. No I Steve has I don't want the tops I want tops Chrome. Yeah.

43:41.99
youcantcompthis
He's Steve Nash is tough to comp though I feel like we either I did this in my own private time or we did this on a show a couple of weeks ago it's you know the number of variants between you know, 1996 and now is it's almost like 2 different universes. Really yeah, that's fine. Let's do that one? Yep yep.

44:02.74
Adz
Look the toppps chrome base tops chrome base pop count of 164 PS a 10 last sold for $500 now the refractor last sold.

44:09.83
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

44:19.66
youcantcompthis
What's that What's that going for because that's really the one That's yeah, that's the you know the choice one Yeah right? What are that's sure if you go to all time what happens? yeah.

44:22.20
Adz
You compared to the prism variations right? Yeah cool pop count of 6 No last sold data. Sorry no trend last old November Twentieth Twenty two for 5700

44:37.15
youcantcompthis
sure that's fine yeah yeah okay cool so sure I mean okay, so why don't we use that as a direct cop cop right? So then actually in that case that 4400 and number to 8 card is not.

44:41.94
Adz
But it's a pop count of 6

44:56.59
youcantcompthis
As that outrages those initially thinking.

44:57.16
Adz
Um, yeah, as you yeah if we're coming into Steve Nash then he's got a little way to go maybe another thousand dollars

45:01.76
youcantcompthis
But yours needs doing 2 mvps as a minimum I mean doing 2 Mvp that's rare. You know getting rarefied error isn't it. Yeah.

45:05.53
Adz
Yeah that's not much of a gap. Yeah for yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very rare. Yeah yeah, you've got a long way to go? Yeah I thought he was gonna get allstar mvp when I started but because I really I've only watched sort of the first quarter and then. Tuned out right? Yeah I thought Halliburton was gonna get Mvp because he lit it up early anyway, shack food 32 Ki

45:27.40
youcantcompthis
Um, yeah, yeah.

45:31.84
youcantcompthis
This next car is for our friend of the podjo fu shaquill O'neill yeah 1996 z-force shaquill o'neill slam cam ps a 10 if you look if you look at the the ladder on this. It is just.

45:46.50
Adz
Pretty card. Looks like a slide, not a ladder backwards but like it's gone up. But yeah, yeah, like cable card and I just.

45:51.75
youcantcompthis
Exponentially gone up from basically $30 yeah, a reverse light? Yep a flying Fox. Maybe yep.

46:09.70
youcantcompthis
So last sold for 2500

46:09.80
Adz
Scale lift.

46:14.37
Adz
Impressive.

46:16.86
youcantcompthis
So yeah I put this in because that's shack but I also put it in 2 is because I think there is space where people are going back and looking for undervalued inserts and undervalued cards and actually I want to do this as a segment like.

46:30.69
Adz
No no.

46:36.38
youcantcompthis
Get people to share their secrets and I have the feeling that not that many people are gonna be willing to share their secrets just for the fact that they weren't feel comfortable with it I feel like you know they're giving away free money or whatever. But I think that would be a really fun segment to do because you could sort of look at all these cards that were like.

46:46.48
Adz
Yeah.

46:53.64
youcantcompthis
Undervalued and just sort of sitting there and that you know beautiful cards or you know, whatever that it is so I Love a good conspiracy. You.

46:55.92
Adz
We we could get our conspiracy hats on and go back to an insert set from like the 90 s and look at a couple of the cards and then have a projection and be like is this going to spike is this.

47:14.31
youcantcompthis
Yeah, there's a small. There's a small part of me that actually wonders that do all these cards eventually spike in that you know the the print runs done people are going to be become nostalgic at some point.

47:14.71
Adz
Or is this going to stay stay or spike put it to.

47:30.59
Adz
Look we know there's a lot of stuff in the 90 s but there's also like getting stuff in looking at the pop counts here like that's got a pop count of 10 so psa tens very interesting.

47:38.11
youcantcompthis
10 Yep.

47:45.33
youcantcompthis
Very interesting thad young. We've already spoken about that. Oh this one's a little bit of a comedy piece. So Jacque Vaughan has been fired from the net. So essentially now they're they're paying 4 coaches at once now which is just like absolutely mine.

48:03.11
Adz
It's getting a bit silly isn't it.

48:04.58
youcantcompthis
Getting mind blowing for me. So the Kevin Oli Hire actually I think is an absolute no-braener. This guy should have been a head coach you know years ago I know he's had some personal stuff sort of bubbling in the background and but you know you just need to read the imy eu doca case files just to realize that. You know there are some people who are just legitimate Nba coaches and you almost need to sort of put that bag down and like what the french do with their politicians. You know they they don't let their their personal lives.

48:26.33
Adz
Um, yeah, ah.

48:37.50
youcantcompthis
Become intertwined with their professional lives. You know I think in some ways Mbo coaches need to be treated with the same way.

48:44.40
Adz
Yeah, yeah, something like that.

48:51.94
youcantcompthis
Ah, do I think this makes much of a difference look I have to have look at you know the Ne's rotations to see you know what changes he's making and all that type of stuff but I got to say I can't imagine there's going to be you know huge ripples in that place.

49:03.63
Adz
Not.

49:05.85
youcantcompthis
1 I'm probably worried about is cam Thomas I do worry that Kevin Ollie's not going to tolerate his lackadaisical approach to the defensive end and inability to pass the ball I think that's going to be very difficult for ollli to manage. But at the same time you know I think that guy.

49:17.36
Adz
Yeah, yeah.

49:23.80
youcantcompthis
Cam thomas should be in the rotation. So just 2 more things tonight add and then we can yeah so this is just another card that I chucked in because I saw it and I thought it looked interesting. You know so.

49:29.73
Adz
Title off.

49:39.16
Adz
I Always like that.

49:42.40
youcantcompthis
And I'm going to put this down to a little bit of I don't understand this and I don't and I don't know why but I'm also going to put this into the the previous segment of what we're just saying of is this is there just a point when every card. Become something 1987 fleaer of Nate Mcmillan so Nate was a very good player I'm not throwing shade to the guy but I never would have thought 1 of his cards would be selling for eighteen hundred usd pop of 21. Its just a base card if you look at the graph there since 2007 he has just had an absolute exponential rise. What am I missing here? yeah.

50:30.62
Adz
I Don't understand this one I I I not I'm um I'm stumped I'm actually stumped.

50:43.20
youcantcompthis
So I think for me where my head out with this is again. Whoever bought this I think they bought it for a very deliberate thing I think you know we're talking about the garlin before that's the same sort of thing here. But what can you get for eighteen one hundred dollars you know you can get a low end yaus autograph.

50:58.34
Adz
Do you know what? you can get and I'm just using the the Instagram page you can get the Anthony Edwards psa nine pulsar pink pulsar to 42 rookie like

51:02.72
youcantcompthis
Ah, Sneaker spotlight. You could get a lot of sneaker spotlights for that price.

51:09.90
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could probably get a lebron high school autograph for that. You know they're sort of being moved at the moment they're very liquid.

51:16.20
Adz
I.

51:23.53
Adz
Or base night mcmillan. It's.

51:31.40
youcantcompthis
That's that's where I sit with this one. It's like what else could you get for that $800 that would maybe top talk to me.

51:35.72
Adz
So comment comment in the um, the Facebook feed Anthony Mil and straight away I wish I had friends to shell bid my cards when I put them up. Nate Mcillan's clearly got a few buddies. Ah know who's buying that card and why it's an eva 1 of 1 jersey numbered.

52:06.13
Adz
Ah, the grade matches the the Jersey number of course that's why it's sold for so much.

52:08.52
youcantcompthis
Maybe this is it. You know and look anyway I'm just gonna.

52:12.34
Adz
So psa one is a wembby one of 1

52:20.51
youcantcompthis
I'm just gonna put this into the case of I Just don't know so look if anyone is listening and they would like to you know and would like to enlighten me you know I look I I'm really interested to know you know what is the importance of this card. Um, yeah, yeah.

52:28.55
Adz
What the story. What is the story with this card.

52:37.35
youcantcompthis
Alrighty I lie to you add there's 2 more things for tonight 2 more quick ones ebay updating their fees I feel like this is almost ah just like how milk just keeps going up. This is just the same thing so they're increasing their fees from 12% to twelve point three five

52:38.28
Adz
Got.

52:48.40
Adz
Yep.

52:54.00
youcantcompthis
Ah, difference of point three five percent thank you Ebay for hi that for us. Um, the other thing too is that they've just pointed out that for low end cards in not going to increase it so if your cards are under $10 it's a flat thirty cent fee

53:13.60
youcantcompthis
It's for cards that are greater than $10 look how do I feel about this I don't think it matters that much I think ebay has such a stranglehold on the marketplace and kind of in some ways they can just do whatever they want to do.

53:28.18
Adz
Yeah.

53:30.53
youcantcompthis
I would probably add to this too that they have done some really really good things in the last twelve months in terms of keeping the hobby safe the authentic.

53:36.24
Adz
Depth. Yeah.

53:44.64
youcantcompthis
Tication program that they've implemented I think that despite yes, there are problems with that I think that's a very good initiative and then the other thing too is their agreement with Com C is you know? Amazing I think that's just so clever that again whoever did that should.

54:00.70
Adz
That's true.

54:02.23
youcantcompthis
Be a very good promotion. So look I'm not going to sit here and rag on them for a point three five percent increase I will say though that there is also a point when people will move away so you know when does that when do you step up to that line and.

54:12.77
Adz
Well, that's why they didn't go for point 4 Yeah, go you the way you you multiply that over thousands and thousands of users and.

54:17.64
youcantcompthis
It's It's a such a small raise Why bother you know? ah.

54:27.16
youcantcompthis
But do they need that money like isn't that I feel like that I just feel like that point three five percent is more like a niggle to their customers than ah, a win for their back pocket. Do you know what? I mean though I don't really see the.

54:30.60
Adz
They're not. They're not going to complain about it.

54:36.80
Adz
Yeah, yeah, sure sure churchy.

54:39.99
youcantcompthis
True sort of like net gain in that space. So look I disagree with it I don't think it's great, but at the same time I can't really destroy them over this either I'm not going to go Stephen a smith over this look. This is a good one to end on. Add this cameler auto.

54:54.63
Adz
Yeah.

54:58.15
youcantcompthis
The reason I want to talk to you about this was because when I initially saw the card I was genuinely confused about what I was seeing and we've had a few different comments on the page about this someone said Skya maze.

55:11.63
Adz
I um.

55:17.55
youcantcompthis
Someone said Sean Al said Sean Camp and David Ralph said scarla maze and I have to admit with you that was more what was going through my head when I first saw it. So.

55:29.77
Adz
It I thought it was Mitch Gray that ah that that said exactly well no, it was timothy price.

55:35.30
youcantcompthis
So what they're saying here is is actually correct and when I read into it a little bit further actually the most correct answer is from David Gibson it's stay mellow but the ol is actually a 7 and it's this whole.

55:45.68
Adz
Um, really.

55:50.24
Adz
Ah ha.

55:52.60
youcantcompthis
It's this whole branding thing that he's done. So do you remember when the mallow got into trouble for putting those branding tattoos on himself car malow has just found a a loophole to this. So if you sign your autograph with ah an item branding. That's okay to use. Maybe though he's. Post his Mba career. So it's it's okay, yeah, what do you think about that as an autograph in terms of something that's not their name.

56:14.80
Adz
Um, it's interesting isn't it.

56:25.76
Adz
Oh.

56:34.25
Adz
Mellow still his name like it's his nickname. It's car Melo I guess I don't know it's the difference between writing something and then signing and yeah, writing a phrase.

56:49.95
youcantcompthis
The phrases the phrases make me absolutely froth like even if they're stupid phrases that I don't understand or I don't get. It's still this is something about that. This makes me go like nuts.

56:51.89
Adz
I Mean you can't really deny someone what their autograph is? yeah yeah, the more customized it is the better.

57:08.23
youcantcompthis
And so this stay Mellow one I Actually I really liked this particularly now I understand it at first I was like oh like is this you know is this the wrong sticker. That's what I was worried about. But also you have to also like keep this in contrast to people who just do like a squiggle or do like a line or like ah a circle that looks like ah an apple That's an a or something like this you know so.

57:21.52
Adz
E.

57:28.50
youcantcompthis
I think this is super cool and I've always felt this about Carmelo that he was almost a culture leader in the same way that I think about iverson. So the fact that he's now got this like branded signature is like to me so comeallo and he's just.

57:39.93
Adz
Ah.

57:45.97
youcantcompthis
Almost so forward thinking. So I'm super psyched about this. The other thing about this too is and I'm kind of hoping this is gonna be a future trend just like how Duncan is gonna be in products in next couple of years I don't really feel like I've seen a lot of camalo the last few years so if he is coming back to products if they've spent this malow on. If they've spent if paninia spent their money on camalo instead of wemb banana and Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller yada yada yada I'm kind of okay with this and and this is something that.

58:07.84
Adz
Yeah.

58:22.32
youcantcompthis
I mean again I don't want to say this to um, like offend people but are you actually better to spend your money on a camemlo Auto graph than a scoot henderson.

58:32.82
Adz
It's interesting. It's of.

58:33.46
youcantcompthis
And I'm not trying to be mean about you know I'm not trying to like call him out or.

58:36.69
Adz
Well, it's ah it's a it's a career defined player versus someone that's starting in the game.

58:43.28
youcantcompthis
You know we go crazy for rookies right? but actually should we be going crazy for comemallo autos and should we be going crazyzier for Tim Duncan or's the duncan stuff is the one I'm waiting for and I'm not going to lie to you I'm already like saving up my cash like if there is some wild flawless Patch Duncan autograph like.

58:55.94
Adz
Yeah.

59:02.53
youcantcompthis
I want that in my special box dear I mean yeah yeah, all right? That's my final rant for today. So final thoughts out and we'll sign off this bad boy.

59:06.19
Adz
Yep, not I agree.

59:14.33
Adz
How would you sign your cards.

59:22.80
youcantcompthis
Ah, it's almost like trying to think about your deejay name isn't it.

59:25.35
Adz
He's like oh we know Mac Mac Mc Clung's gonna be mac m c lung just like deja equipment all the time anyway, um no it just like would I would I yeah I don't know would I would I but like my little squiggle and then I don't know.

59:41.48
youcantcompthis
I think I'll just write Gibson.

59:41.77
Adz
Smiley face or something.

59:51.66
youcantcompthis
Yeah, okay, yeah, cool. That's about as probably as flamboyant as I can get to be honest as writing my name Gibson.

59:51.72
Adz
Ads and then put a television I don't know probably wouldn't.

01:00:00.87
Adz
The thing if if you do put an image or some kind of simple symbolic thing with it. You've got to keep doing it.

01:00:09.63
youcantcompthis
But the stay mal oathing.

01:00:11.11
Adz
Yeah, yeah, you got to got to kind of embrace it and and keep running with it Hashtag Y cct.

01:00:19.83
youcantcompthis
No, ah no actually I'm gonna change my answer I'm gonna do an admiral scofield so that dude did not know how to write in script writing until he was asked to do an autograph so he sat down with a pen and paper.

01:00:34.88
Adz
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

01:00:36.87
youcantcompthis
And learn how to write like that I'm gonna do that I'm gonna practice it. So it's as beautiful as a scofield. Yep yeah.

01:00:42.83
Adz
Beautiful Anthony Mills says he signed his with a phone number girls hated it. Did they though.

01:00:52.25
youcantcompthis
Did they alrighty guys. Let's let's sign this off here before this goes down too far down the um, the hole it. Thanks guys. Thanks for listening take it easy.

01:01:00.42
Adz
Dip down the proverbial rabbit hole. Thanks for another great episode see you next week
