Yeah, let's do it.

00:00:30.23

Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:00:43.91
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:00:46.90
youcantcompthis
um That said, I admit, maybe maybe I have a newfound appreciation for how much Russell does during the week.

00:00:55.20
Shaqfoo32
I think, that I think the side notes is definitely a big one.

00:00:55.36
youcantcompthis
um Yeah, yeah, look i look, doing the run sheet, and and I'm not the one that normally refers to it, but I do now have a newfound appreciation for it for sure.

00:00:58.76
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:01:02.64
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:01:04.93
Shaqfoo32
And the hyperlinks. Yep. And the research.

00:01:06.53
youcantcompthis
That's it, the hyperlinks and the research, and you know what, we'll see what how we go.

00:01:06.97
Shaqfoo32
Yep. yeah Yep. Yep.

00:01:11.06
youcantcompthis
We've we've got a ah general idea, and i think well um I think we'll be fine, but all right, I'm sure we're adults, we'll figure this out.

00:01:15.44
Shaqfoo32
We're capable man. We'll do it.

00:01:21.60
youcantcompthis
ah What's the worst that could happen? Wait, oh, so they ah this is gonna get played at some point tonight.

00:01:28.06
Shaqfoo32
That's all right. yeah

00:01:30.20
youcantcompthis
We do have, we, yeah, yeah.

00:01:30.33
Shaqfoo32
I almost expected it now. It actually needs to stay. It has to stay.

00:01:34.66
youcantcompthis
ah We've got that.

00:01:37.29
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:01:37.96
youcantcompthis
And then we've got the intro. They're the only sound effects we've got. Russell's done some.

00:01:41.01
Shaqfoo32
Kawhi is a winner.

00:01:41.12
youcantcompthis
some

00:01:42.05
Shaqfoo32
I think like I kind of almost look forward to it when I'm listening to the episode of When It's Coming.

00:01:45.38
youcantcompthis
It's like, is it is it is it gonna be, is it is like is this the funny bit?

00:01:46.27
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. it's Yeah.

00:01:49.58
youcantcompthis
You gotta listen carefully for the funny bit though.

00:01:49.59
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:01:52.42
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:01:52.57
youcantcompthis
All right, well, this is 156. I'll count us in, I'll introduce us, and then we'll chat for, I don't know, 45 minutes to an hour and whatever.

00:02:01.60
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:02:02.43
youcantcompthis
We'll see where it goes.

00:02:02.72
Shaqfoo32
Yep. We'll make it happen.

00:02:04.25
youcantcompthis
Awesome. Have I got card ladder set up? No, of course I don't, because technology. Where the bloody hell's card ladder? Oh, that one. There we go. All right, got it. So card ladder set up for anyone playing at home. which probably isn't anybody at the moment, thank goodness. Yeah, all right, cool. i think I think we're good to go. Yeah, got that one. Let's put that up there. Got Card Ladder, I got Shaq, I got Kobe. I got Shaq Fu and myself, which is Shaq and Kobe, the equivalent. All right, let's do this.

00:02:51.88
youcantcompthis
Welcome everybody to episode 156. after you can't comp this NBA trading card podcast. I am your host, Adam Aimee. Russell has gone on vacation and left, funnily enough, left me at the helm, which, I mean, if you game, why not? I've gone out, I've looked for for a partner in crime this week. I thought, what better than getting the man himself, Joe Fu, Shaq Fu 32 for a big Kobe and Shaq episode

00:03:26.51
youcantcompthis
Joe, welcome aboard.

00:03:28.86
Shaqfoo32
Hey Adam, how you doing man? I wasn't really up to much this week and then you just got into my DMS. You slipped in there and you know what? I am down for another episode of you can't comp this.

00:03:39.17
youcantcompthis
Why not?

00:03:39.52
Shaqfoo32
This will be fun.

00:03:39.77
youcantcompthis
It's a big, big Shaq collector. I thought, you know what? Flashbacks to 96. Big team up. The big diesel Shaq teaming up with Kobe. Why not? Let's let's

00:03:52.34
Shaqfoo32
Let's get to it.

00:03:53.25
youcantcompthis
Let's get into it. Now, both of our, our I suppose, beloved favourite PCs, Shaq and Coby, appeared on a list last week on the show.

00:04:02.94
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:04:04.81
youcantcompthis
Now, Russell was very bold, I must say. To say the least, saying that Victor Wenbenjana is going to eclipse Michael Jordan. Now, we've given him him a vacation. He's off to to Bali to to relax and unwind and get back to reality.

00:04:15.56
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:04:20.19
youcantcompthis
um

00:04:20.75
Shaqfoo32
And think about it.

00:04:21.82
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, look, that's a 200 and even at 280 K a year. It's a good eight or nine seasons before that man's overtaking Michael Jordan.

00:04:31.52
Shaqfoo32
It's, it's a tall order and like, look, I could see where he went there. Like, you know, when we just come in like a rocket ship and he's just kind of just exploded, like more, you know, more gradings than anybody else that we've ever seen, you know, like ever, ever, you know, so like the, the hype train's real.

00:04:35.88
youcantcompthis
o

00:04:43.43
youcantcompthis
Now,

00:04:46.18
youcantcompthis
now it is It's a real hype train, but my question now goes back to to your man, Shaq, because he appears on this list. he is um and And what I'll do, I'll just show, for those playing at home, I'll see if I can really get into there and and show that lovely list. I think that's actually not not a bad little shot. um So I've got the list there. Shaquille only on number 15 with 405,000 cards graded. Would you like to hazard a guess

00:05:13.67
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:05:16.31
youcantcompthis
the unique cards that have been graded of Shaxx, because i i would I would like to think there's quite a variety.

00:05:23.08
Shaqfoo32
I think look, in terms of unique cards for Shaq being graded, it would be a lot of his autos. So like people just kind of sending in his autos to be graded, but also there might have been a bit of a, you know, a bump for his rookies.

00:05:30.39
youcantcompthis
Okay.

00:05:33.89
youcantcompthis
Yeah, well, that was my thought initially, yeah.

00:05:34.02
Shaqfoo32
So like, nobody graded. Nope. Nobody really graded his rookies. Um, you know, when we were collecting in the nineties, you know, 92 93, that wasn't like grading wasn't really a thing, you know?

00:05:45.09
youcantcompthis
the the Yeah, they what like and there weren't autos though in the 90s. It wasn't really, it wasn't the thing.

00:05:49.58
Shaqfoo32
No.

00:05:52.19
Shaqfoo32
No, like, like to get an autograph was like, it's like a unicorn. Like you'd never heard it was like, what? The player took time to sign a car piece of cardboard. Like, you know, like an upper deck when they know and when upper deck released like the first cards that had like a little swatch, we went absolutely mental, like absolutely mental.

00:06:01.16
youcantcompthis
and And it was never part of the set, yeah, yeah.

00:06:10.34
youcantcompthis
like Oh my God, how did we get a piece of that athletes jersey?

00:06:11.63
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:06:14.05
Shaqfoo32
Game worn piece of the jersey is just a swatch.

00:06:15.07
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:06:16.69
Shaqfoo32
And like those cards still hold a lot of value right now.

00:06:19.85
youcantcompthis
True, true, true.

00:06:19.98
Shaqfoo32
Those upper decks, you know,

00:06:21.91
youcantcompthis
And and they they were redemptions at that point.

00:06:24.72
Shaqfoo32
Yes, like, yeah, you'd you'd be lucky to get it back.

00:06:25.00
youcantcompthis
Like they weren't in the packs. They were like, well done, congratulations, send off, wait. And if you're in Australia, you're waiting for at least three to six months. You're like crossing your fingers and hoping that the posty didn't get it wrong. And you're like, this this could go, mom's like, we're moving house. We're like, no, please don't.

00:06:41.32
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, no, no, no.

00:06:41.81
youcantcompthis
I've just sent a redemption off.

00:06:43.29
Shaqfoo32
Like, like you said the letter and kind of like, you know, like, like Rice Krispies or something like that to try and like claim your decoder ring and you just kind of like,

00:06:47.96
youcantcompthis
That's it.

00:06:51.24
youcantcompthis
20 barcodes along with your packs and you're like hoping for the best.

00:06:53.18
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep. Yep.

00:06:56.11
youcantcompthis
But that's it.

00:06:56.20
Shaqfoo32
And your 20 and your little bit of cash just so that you can send it back.

00:06:59.03
youcantcompthis
And oh, wait, your $3.

00:07:01.06
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:07:01.17
youcantcompthis
What is it? A money order for $3.95 to cover postage and handling costs.

00:07:02.46
Shaqfoo32
Your money order. Yep. Yeah.

00:07:07.52
youcantcompthis
That's right.

00:07:07.79
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:07:09.16
youcantcompthis
God, so of the four hundred over 400,000 shacks, you reckon they're predominantly autographs?

00:07:12.06
Shaqfoo32
Mm hmm. I'm thinking people are getting his autos graded autos graded and like modern.

00:07:17.64
youcantcompthis
autos, jerseys.

00:07:18.78
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. And like some of them, like a lot of the modern stuff, you know, like, but even then like the, a lot of the modern stuff would be the SSPs, which there wouldn't be a lot of, you know, so, so I'm assuming it's, yeah, it's a lot of autos, photos.

00:07:21.93
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:07:27.51
youcantcompthis
No, you're right. You're right. It's some Now what like ah I raised this question last week with Russell and and it was more of a curiosity thing, but what do you think as far as the number of unique shacks that have been graded to make up that 405K versus, and this was on the 500,000 Zions that have been graded.

00:07:34.85
Shaqfoo32
Mm-hmm.

00:07:52.74
youcantcompthis
Surely there's just like, there's there's miles apart, yeah.

00:07:56.74
Shaqfoo32
It'd be so much it'd be so yeah, it'd be so much prism silver for Zion, you know, like anything yet.

00:08:02.16
youcantcompthis
And that's what I mean, like the number of unique cards is gonna be so much different.

00:08:05.91
Shaqfoo32
It'd be a, it'd be a bigger spread. Like it'd be kind of like a Noah's Ark for Shaq, where it's just kind of like, yeah.

00:08:10.06
youcantcompthis
There's there's no 40,000 pop counts on the Shacks, you reckon?

00:08:15.14
Shaqfoo32
Not like, look, Not, not on the rookies, you know, no, no, no, but like, you know what, we could, we could definitely look back into it, but like, I'm, I'm curious to see what this kind of the astra of shacks that are being graded.

00:08:16.62
youcantcompthis
Well, we haven't done research. Russell's not here. Research doesn't exist this week. um

00:08:27.49
youcantcompthis
Well, but I've got some Shaq rookies.

00:08:29.62
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:08:30.67
youcantcompthis
Um, look, I don't want to go too deep too quickly.

00:08:33.07
Shaqfoo32
Hmm. Yeah.

00:08:35.08
youcantcompthis
So you reckon autos is where, where do you think the volume, where do you think the volume is?

00:08:36.81
Shaqfoo32
I, I'm thinking look of that 400,000.

00:08:40.32
youcantcompthis
Different unique autos or do you think, do you reckon people have just like smashed it with, aught with rookie cards?

00:08:46.74
Shaqfoo32
I think, look, there would be a bit, there'd be a lot of rookies. I wouldn't be surprised if the big bulk of that number is the rookies because like you're kind of bringing in the new generation of people who are collecting, who love grading stuff.

00:08:50.25
youcantcompthis
hu

00:08:53.27
youcantcompthis
Okay.

00:08:59.37
youcantcompthis
Hmm.

00:08:59.70
Shaqfoo32
And so, you know, where is their value? And we kind of went through that kind of junk, junk grading era where just send everything in for grading.

00:09:05.61
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:09:07.28
Shaqfoo32
So, you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if like this explosion of Shaq grading happened in the last, you know, six years.

00:09:14.31
youcantcompthis
now Now, onto that, to we're talking about the Junkwax stuff. Do you really think that the base rookie cards from the 90s are Junkwax?

00:09:24.33
Shaqfoo32
Look, I, I, as a collector, I've always had a lover for him.

00:09:24.81
youcantcompthis
I don't know. like i um

00:09:29.53
Shaqfoo32
You know, like we were talking about, you know, like just before we were talking about how like the Shaq rookie upper deck is iconic. You know, and yeah.

00:09:37.05
youcantcompthis
It is, it's the one, that's the shack I wanna own in a PSA 10.

00:09:40.38
Shaqfoo32
Yes. I wanted a, I wanted it in a poster, you know, like you kind of like have it in a blown up poster and yep.

00:09:44.04
youcantcompthis
You want that, the, yeah, yeah, with the, yep, it's, that is the rookie card.

00:09:46.62
Shaqfoo32
You know, yep.

00:09:50.73
youcantcompthis
It's the first rookie card that I identified as a rookie card, if that makes sense.

00:09:55.79
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yes.

00:09:56.69
youcantcompthis
Do you know what I mean? Like, you know, when someone's got their rookie card, that's fine.

00:09:57.65
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:10:00.91
youcantcompthis
But that photo of shack, like that that upper deck one,

00:10:01.39
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:10:05.15
Shaqfoo32
The three, the three image picture with him doing a slam.

00:10:06.14
youcantcompthis
Yeah, the three images, yep, with him slamming from upper deck.

00:10:08.07
Shaqfoo32
Yep. You show that to anybody. You show that to anybody, even to you guys in the hobby, they'd be like, that's a check. That's a rookie card. That's a check.

00:10:14.82
youcantcompthis
do you know what Do you know what's funny?

00:10:14.95
Shaqfoo32
Rookie. Like, yeah.

00:10:16.26
youcantcompthis
Most iconic basketball card for me from growing up was the Jordan from that same set.

00:10:22.58
Shaqfoo32
Yes. Yes.

00:10:24.24
youcantcompthis
ninety Is it 92, 93 upper deck?

00:10:26.53
Shaqfoo32
92 93 upper deck.

00:10:28.69
youcantcompthis
that's the That is my defining set, I think.

00:10:32.89
Shaqfoo32
Yes.

00:10:33.37
youcantcompthis
Like as ah as far as where I started in the hobby, yeah.

00:10:33.84
Shaqfoo32
and And, and, and that's pretty much the same for me. Like that, that was around the time that I was collecting.

00:10:38.37
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:10:40.29
Shaqfoo32
I remember the kind of golden, the little ribbon on the bottom with the colors of, yeah.

00:10:41.11
youcantcompthis
Interesting.

00:10:43.69
youcantcompthis
Yeah, it was, yep.

00:10:45.07
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:10:45.63
youcantcompthis
And I mean, 93, 94 is lovely, but 92, 93 is where it's at, right?

00:10:46.83
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yes.

00:10:50.30
youcantcompthis
Like that's the...

00:10:50.41
Shaqfoo32
And even 91, 92 doesn't hit in the same way.

00:10:53.28
youcantcompthis
No, no.

00:10:53.40
Shaqfoo32
Like, you know, like the, the like like you move one year either side, it doesn't hit the same as that 92 93 year.

00:10:59.02
youcantcompthis
Yeah, and that hits you in the fields. That's that's that's that's when might where I felt the hobby exploded into the mainstream.

00:11:01.04
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:11:04.10
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:11:07.48
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:11:07.89
youcantcompthis
That was, yeah, yeah, I mean.

00:11:09.16
Shaqfoo32
And also one of like the the funny Christian relate note rookie with him in his leather jacket and kind of just, there was some great rookie cards, some great cards.

00:11:13.61
youcantcompthis
That's it, oh my God. Was there a redemption was there ah a redemption that year for the Dream Team?

00:11:21.48
Shaqfoo32
There was, I believe, and it was also like a shack redemption as well for the rookie because you got this like, yeah, the shack rookie was a redemption as well.

00:11:22.38
youcantcompthis
I think so, yeah. Yes, the rookies, yep.

00:11:28.46
Shaqfoo32
There's like a redemption card. There was a trade card. There was a first kit, you know, so.

00:11:32.56
youcantcompthis
Wow. I'd like, I'd actually like to hear what people think as far as their, I suppose, hobby defining, like their intro to the hobby.

00:11:41.79
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:11:42.75
youcantcompthis
Cause 9293 upper deck is where, is that's where my, my, my roots are.

00:11:42.89
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:11:49.22
youcantcompthis
That's, that's the set that defines how I got into the hobby.

00:11:49.79
Shaqfoo32
ye

00:11:53.84
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:11:54.47
youcantcompthis
And like, it'd be interesting how collectors down the track.

00:11:54.74
Shaqfoo32
And that is, that'd be a great group chat.

00:11:56.91
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:11:57.60
Shaqfoo32
That'd be a great group chat of ah put it on the socials and just kind of get everybody to Yeah.

youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:12:00.50
youcantcompthis
A few young ones is like, yeah, i might i might what I'll do is I'll put it up on the You Can't Comp This and and I'll force Russell to talk about it as well.

00:12:03.70
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:12:08.01
youcantcompthis
um ah boy well it's like It's interesting to know what that defining set for you is.

00:12:08.35
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:12:15.12
youcantcompthis
It's the one that sticks in your mind and and you've got those unique cards that stand out.

00:12:17.68
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And it was, ah it was affordable.

00:12:19.74
youcantcompthis
and It was...

00:12:21.08
Shaqfoo32
I still remember going to, like, I will remember going and buying little packs for like, you know, two 95, a dollar 99, you know?

00:12:27.89
youcantcompthis
When you pulled the Jordan out of those packs, it was a base Jordan.

00:12:31.14
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:12:32.01
youcantcompthis
It was worth three bucks, no one cared.

00:12:32.14
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. yeah But you'll.

00:12:34.63
youcantcompthis
But when you pulled that card, you were the king of the school yard.

00:12:36.90
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:12:39.03
youcantcompthis
You were like, got the Jordan, I got the Jordan.

00:12:39.51
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. ah Jordan. Yep. Yeah.

00:12:42.23
youcantcompthis
Box is dead, got the Jordan.

00:12:43.64
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:12:44.11
youcantcompthis
And it's a base card, right?

00:12:44.42
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. yeah

00:12:46.71
youcantcompthis
But yeah, that rookie card defines what a rookie card is for me. Like that Shaq rookie is, yeah.

00:12:51.87
Shaqfoo32
And, and yeah, that's it.

00:12:54.98
youcantcompthis
Because we we we touched on this before the show. There's a number of Shaq rookies and look, we'll we'll move straight into it.

00:12:58.29
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:00.57
youcantcompthis
the the Let's go to Card Ladder. And i've I've got for those playing at home, because we may not have done prep, but I've still got access to putting stuff up on the screen.

00:13:10.41
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:10.48
youcantcompthis
um We've got a bunch of Shaquille O'Neal cards from 1992.

00:13:15.33
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:16.89
youcantcompthis
Now, I mean, we've talked about the upper deck and I'll i'll um

00:13:21.39
Shaqfoo32
yep

00:13:23.33
youcantcompthis
ah I'll bring it up for those playing at home, because ah ps a t a PSA for the base, the 90, wow, PSA 10, pop count on that is only 347.

00:13:41.13
Shaqfoo32
So there goes, there goes my theory on like that being the rookie, right?

00:13:44.80
youcantcompthis
Wait, what's the, all right, you'll be able to explain this to me, right? So there are three options here.

00:13:50.43
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:50.74
youcantcompthis
There's a rookie standouts. Oh wait, that's a different set.

00:13:53.00
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:54.07
youcantcompthis
Don't even, that looks ugly too.

00:13:54.65
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:56.48
youcantcompthis
There's the trade card.

00:13:57.38
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:13:57.97
youcantcompthis
Is that the redemption?

00:13:58.53
Shaqfoo32
Yep. That's the trade card with a little silhouette with the Shaq dunk silhouette.

00:14:04.26
youcantcompthis
Yup.

00:14:05.03
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yeah.

00:14:05.52
youcantcompthis
Okay. Cause it's the same image, the 1B.

00:14:08.95
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:14:09.31
youcantcompthis
And then you've got the base, which is number one.

00:14:11.36
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. And then you got, yeah. And then there was like, there was like the Spanish one, the Italian one does, you know,

00:14:17.00
youcantcompthis
Yeah. So in a PSA 10 last sold 2,495 for the base.

00:14:23.18
Shaqfoo32
2,495. So, you know, like, and and that's the thing. I think that's also like a bit of that modern collector has come in and really juiced up this card because like, you know, you could, you said like 500, didn't you?

00:14:34.36
youcantcompthis
All right. So that what was the pop count. Wait, wait, wait. Sorry. All right. No, 347. And this is, this is the argument for does pop count matter?

00:14:41.01
Shaqfoo32
Hmm.

00:14:47.31
youcantcompthis
PSA 10, last sold, four and a half two and a half thousand dollars. Pop count of 347. Now, I've seen many, and I'll say many at trade shows, to PSA 9.

00:14:55.03
Shaqfoo32
Hmm.

00:14:58.41
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:15:00.30
youcantcompthis
I say I want a PSA 10. There's no wonder I want one. I didn't realize there was a price difference like this.

00:15:05.10
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:15:05.45
youcantcompthis
What do you think the last sold on the PSA 9 is?

00:15:09.06
Shaqfoo32
It would be just, and we were, we chatted about this, I think is actually just like, you know, a few bucks, which is like, you know, 20, 30, 40 bucks.

00:15:16.81
youcantcompthis
Last sold, 47 US dollars.

00:15:17.40
Shaqfoo32
You know, there you go.

00:15:20.82
youcantcompthis
$50, it's a $50 card.

00:15:21.50
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:15:24.27
youcantcompthis
Not a two and a half thousand dollar card.

00:15:24.43
Shaqfoo32
With one. Yeah.

00:15:27.34
youcantcompthis
A $50 card.

00:15:29.23
Shaqfoo32
A one grade difference, a one point difference.

00:15:31.15
youcantcompthis
Pop count is 4,015.

00:15:32.49
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:15:36.54
youcantcompthis
Now, that mean that's nothing on the 45,000 Luca base cards out there, but $47 is the last sole price.

00:15:39.50
Shaqfoo32
Yep. No, nope.

00:15:45.45
youcantcompthis
Now, yep, pop count of 4,000.

00:15:50.36
youcantcompthis
Is there room to move there? Do you do you think PSA 9 at 47 is a bit low?

00:15:57.49
Shaqfoo32
It's super low considering that the 10 is like, you know, what is it?

00:16:01.15
youcantcompthis
Two and a half grand, that's literally 50X, right?

00:16:01.32
Shaqfoo32
It's more than this. Yeah. That's just 50 X, which is not, that's not.

00:16:04.65
youcantcompthis
It's not a 10X, it's not a 20X, this is a 50X.

00:16:08.17
Shaqfoo32
That's not even normal. That's not normal for a lot of the other cards. Like when you're looking at, like even if you're looking at Zion, you know, when you shift from a 10 to a nine, it doesn't drop that heavy.

00:16:19.25
youcantcompthis
Agreed, agreed.

00:16:19.33
Shaqfoo32
You know, it's it's not, it's not a 50 X, you know?

00:16:22.23
youcantcompthis
It is down, it is down 25%.

00:16:22.75
Shaqfoo32
So, ye yeah. Yep.

00:16:26.33
youcantcompthis
It is a bit of a yo-yo though, the the one year, the all-time, I wanna see the all-time data on it.

00:16:28.47
Shaqfoo32
And, and I think it was like, it was almost like three or four years ago. I remember Al asking me, he says, what the hell is going on with these Shaq rookies?

00:16:34.51
youcantcompthis
Mm hmm.

00:16:38.11
Shaqfoo32
Cause the Shaq rookie base went from like two, three bucks to like 50 bucks as a raw, you know?

00:16:42.99
youcantcompthis
So in February 2021, and right, this is the COVID crazy period where everything got 10xed, $368.

00:16:45.89
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:16:49.83
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:16:52.41
youcantcompthis
368.50.

00:16:55.08
Shaqfoo32
for the base.

00:16:55.17
youcantcompthis
Highest point. Yep.

00:16:56.60
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:16:58.02
youcantcompthis
That's insane.

00:16:58.41
Shaqfoo32
And yeah, he just kind of, I was like, he was like, is somebody doing a pump and dump? And I'm kind of like very possibly because like the card is like two bucks, three bucks, you know?

00:17:04.84
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:17:08.25
youcantcompthis
it's It's funny because the highest it's been in the last, I don't know, two years is $95.

00:17:14.52
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:17:14.58
youcantcompthis
The lowest it's been is $25.

00:17:17.50
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:17:18.34
youcantcompthis
It's a solid $50 card all the way.

00:17:21.38
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:17:22.02
youcantcompthis
And I also think, I mean, it might be a 4,000 pop count, but if the 10's only got 350 and that's four and a half thousand cards of this rookie.

00:17:22.47
Shaqfoo32
And

00:17:31.33
Shaqfoo32
There's, there's definitely movement for the nine, you know, like if you, if you want to get into, if you want to get in on Shaq, you can just kind of pick up some nines for 50 bucks, you know, and there's not much of, uh, I've been, uh, I've been slowly accumulating my raw Shaq rookies, just kind of like what, yep.

00:17:34.20
youcantcompthis
I think, I don't know.

00:17:42.51
youcantcompthis
I'll tell you what, I'm i'm um'm very interested if there's ah if there's a 10 out there, but if I can pick that up for a hundred bucks.

00:17:54.34
youcantcompthis
Okay, just looking for one that you think is is sparkly mint ready to up that pop count to 350.

00:17:58.76
Shaqfoo32
Like when people kind of. Yeah, so like anybody who kind of puts up these like bulk lot sales, you know, fresh pack rips, you know, stuff like that, I'll, I'll take my chance and I'll, I'll buy 10, I'll buy 20 at, you know, like five bucks each, you know, I mean, like, yeah you know,

00:18:03.68
youcantcompthis
Mmm. Mmm. Yeah. ah Look, for 50 bucks, oh God. What do you reckon you'd sort of take a few of those and recreate them?

00:18:21.25
Shaqfoo32
and if they come back at 10, one of them comes back at 10, you just 50 X'd, you know, you're just 50 X'd that, yep.

00:18:24.67
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Interesting to note, there's no, beat there's no, um

00:18:31.54
youcantcompthis
All right, let's go to the population report, Beckett.

00:18:31.60
Shaqfoo32
BGS. Yeah.

00:18:33.90
youcantcompthis
Oh, there's 160 9.5s out there. I'd be, honestly, there's 110 Beckett.

00:18:39.74
Shaqfoo32
Hmm. Hmm.

00:18:46.26
youcantcompthis
There's a lot of eight, 8.5s. There's only 160 in the 9.5. What do you reckon? Would you would you would you buy, even for like 100, 200 bucks, would you buy a 9.5 and try and cross it?

00:18:58.82
Shaqfoo32
I mean, look, if you've got the spare pocket change, why not?

00:19:00.88
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:19:01.26
Shaqfoo32
You know, like just to give it a try. All you needed to do is hit once, right?

00:19:03.29
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

00:19:05.71
Shaqfoo32
You buy, buy 10, cross them over. If all you need is one of them, unless you end up doing what that guy did with the MJ's and like cross, cross.

00:19:12.32
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, like getting to sign them, just like gonna say, yeah, whatever. Getting to sign them in the meantime.

00:19:15.85
Shaqfoo32
Yep. There was, there was also another guy who had like a whole bunch of BGS. It was like, it was like all MJ BGS and then he crossed it over to PSA, but he didn't get like a single one, a 10.

00:19:25.38
youcantcompthis
You got 999.

00:19:26.99
Shaqfoo32
yeah Yeah, he got to go.

00:19:27.34
youcantcompthis
Oh, wouldn't you feel stitched up?

00:19:27.91
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. ah That was like, I don't know. I think that was like about a year or two ago. I remember that one. That was just like, damn, you know, he has a huge collection of BGS 10s.

00:19:37.24
youcantcompthis
looking at the overall Looking at the overall pop report though of this, I think this rookie at the PSA nine at 50 bucks is not a bad deal.

00:19:37.50
Shaqfoo32
And he thought, yeah you know,

00:19:46.93
youcantcompthis
I think there's value there.

00:19:47.25
Shaqfoo32
good value.

00:19:47.85
youcantcompthis
I think there's value there.

00:19:48.11
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:19:49.19
youcantcompthis
And I mean, there's only 160 in the 9.5, but there's thousands at 8.5 and eight. There's seven and a half thousand in the eight category. Like it it gems at ah at a rate of 2.15%. That is not good for for for the gem rate.

00:20:06.85
Shaqfoo32
No.

00:20:07.23
youcantcompthis
um So it's hard. It's it's almost like a kaboom from this year that doesn't doesn't great well.

00:20:09.19
Shaqfoo32
so

00:20:13.09
Shaqfoo32
What's it like for Kobe? Um, for his rookie, like, like, what's his, what's, what's, you know, what's, what's, what's Kobe's iconic rookie, you know, as, ah as, yeah.

00:20:16.93
youcantcompthis
Oh, the gem count.

00:20:21.87
youcantcompthis
Iconic rookie. So my thought on that, might my I think yeah your tops your top's chrome is the, like or the tops.

00:20:24.28
Shaqfoo32
Is it like a tops? Is it tops finest? Is it a?

00:20:30.07
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:20:32.10
youcantcompthis
Like the tops rookie is the,

00:20:32.86
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:20:34.83
youcantcompthis
is the big one, so i'll I'll bring a Kobe up, and this is, actually it's probably not a bad parallel, but the Popcat you'll find is very, is very different.

00:20:36.11
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:20:40.98
Shaqfoo32
Hmm.

00:20:43.76
youcantcompthis
No, not listings.

00:20:44.24
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:20:45.24
youcantcompthis
I'm terrible on this, this website, aren't I?

00:20:46.82
Shaqfoo32
Cause like, cause like for Kobe, like he does like flare ultra around at the time, there was like tops collect those collectors choice.

00:20:50.98
youcantcompthis
Mmm.

00:20:53.63
Shaqfoo32
There was, I mean, the premium brands were tops and tops Chrome, you know?

00:20:57.96
youcantcompthis
Yeah, like the 1996 Topps, look, base, PSA 10, last off 760 bucks.

00:20:58.20
Shaqfoo32
So like, yeah. Yeah.

00:21:04.23
Shaqfoo32
yeah Wow.

00:21:06.79
youcantcompthis
That's that's the Topps, not the Topps Chrome.

00:21:09.55
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:10.83
youcantcompthis
um I mean, you can ah let's have a PSA 10, yeah. Last two years is down about 17%, which is about the same as Shaq.

00:21:20.13
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:21:21.98
youcantcompthis
Two year prices, let's see, all time prices. All time prices. No way. You know that February of the crazy the COVID crazy period?

00:21:30.99
Shaqfoo32
Yep. The peak yet.

00:21:32.44
youcantcompthis
Yep, the peak, $9,973.

00:21:37.37
Shaqfoo32
Damn.

00:21:38.32
youcantcompthis
Now, base card, not Chrome, population 4,717 in PSA 10.

00:21:41.53
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:21:46.83
Shaqfoo32
Mm hmm.

00:21:50.90
Shaqfoo32
and so

00:21:50.94
youcantcompthis
19, this is lucat Luca numbers at the PSA nine.

00:21:54.37
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:57.48
youcantcompthis
That's 19,369 PSA nines of the, and that's, look, for for those playing at home, this is for the 96 tops, not the tops Chrome.

00:22:01.38
Shaqfoo32
That's insane.

00:22:05.00
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:22:08.94
youcantcompthis
um

00:22:09.77
Shaqfoo32
Which is really mass printed mass printed tops.

00:22:11.50
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:22:13.67
Shaqfoo32
Wow.

00:22:15.49
youcantcompthis
Wait, so tops Chrome.

00:22:16.36
Shaqfoo32
That's a... That's an insane number. No wonder I, you can't go back and go nostalgic and go, let's go buy an old box of tops. Cause like, he just can't do it.

00:22:24.42
youcantcompthis
It's that getting out of 10, like they they do drop off pretty quickly.

00:22:27.10
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:22:28.11
youcantcompthis
Like let's be let's be fair, let's not um hype those those sales up too much.

00:22:28.52
Shaqfoo32
Yes. Yeah.

00:22:35.15
youcantcompthis
We'll go to view all sales.

00:22:35.20
Shaqfoo32
yeah Yeah.

00:22:37.46
youcantcompthis
um

00:22:37.48
Shaqfoo32
And see where it's, where it's kind of like after the peak, how the roller coaster has dropped.

00:22:40.55
youcantcompthis
BGS 10, 2007, oh wow, wow. SEG 10, 400 bucks.

00:22:44.51
Shaqfoo32
So yeah. Yeah.

00:22:47.49
youcantcompthis
BGS 9.5 for the base is 250 bucks.

00:22:49.86
Shaqfoo32
Hmm.

00:22:52.49
youcantcompthis
Pop count is two and a half thousand, right?

00:22:53.04
Shaqfoo32
There you go. Yep.

00:22:55.50
youcantcompthis
PSA nine, 130 bucks.

00:22:56.84
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:22:59.25
youcantcompthis
Population on that's 19,000. Now this isn't, um let's go, no, no, no, no.

00:23:02.46
Shaqfoo32
Okay. There's not 40,000 grades, so.

00:23:09.13
youcantcompthis
So let's go Chrome.

00:23:14.86
Shaqfoo32
Because yeah, like these these these cards, like, came out in a time before grading was a thing. And so you're having these numbers ticking up only pretty much recently, these these oldest grading would have happened in the last 10 years.

00:23:25.64
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah. Yep, for sure.

00:23:31.19
Shaqfoo32
You know, like, you know, like, back when like PSA was dirt cheap, and you know, like you could, you would do it for nothing for peanuts, you know,

00:23:37.76
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:23:41.33
Shaqfoo32
And Beckett, you know beckcker like if you go even further back in history, Beckett was actually hard. It was expensive. It was hard to get your cards.

00:23:49.13
youcantcompthis
That's it.

00:23:50.76
Shaqfoo32
Aussies weren't sending stuff off in bulk to Beckett to get it graded. you know Like would you know would you risk your your most pressured cards to go on a journey to the US?

00:24:01.33
youcantcompthis
to to take a boat over to the US and...

00:24:04.26
Shaqfoo32
And maybe you'll see it again, maybe you won't. you know It just never was a thing.

00:24:07.37
youcantcompthis
All right. So TOPS Chrome in a PSA 10, last sold for six and a half thousand.

00:24:14.29
Shaqfoo32
Okay.

Like back then I needed it.

00:26:36.51
Shaqfoo32

And then it was like, I paid, paid a thousand for it, made 200 bucks on it, whatever.

00:26:40.73
Shaqfoo32

00:26:42.13
Shaqfoo32
And that's the thing.

00:26:43.28
youcantcompthis
but

00:26:44.03
Shaqfoo32
Like, and I was talking to some other guys who've been collecting as long as I have, and like, they've actually stayed collecting, like, whereas I took a break and came back.

00:26:49.70
youcantcompthis
Yep. Yeah. yeah

00:26:51.72
Shaqfoo32
And these these guys, like, you know, I was like, man, you know, that raise the roof, Shaquille, and you know, how much did you get that for? And he's like, Oh, 200 bucks. I'm like, that's an $8,000 US s card.

00:27:00.96

Shaqfoo32
Now, you know, like, you know, like, like, you know, and some of them.

Shaqfoo32
Yes. yeah yeah Yep.

00:27:14.78
youcantcompthis
I also owned a Kobe Bryant from downtown, from um studio.

00:27:18.36
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:27:19.51
youcantcompthis
And I sold it within six months of owning it, right?

00:27:20.12
Shaqfoo32

00:27:22.25
youcantcompthis
I sold it for like 200 bucks.

00:27:22.41
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:27:24.27
youcantcompthis
And it's like a $4,000 card. And I'm like, Aww. They're like, aww.

00:27:28.36
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. and that That's the thing. like like i had I had a shoe box that i had like a whole bunch of Kobe's and MJ's in it that were like left in my house.

00:27:34.88
youcantcompthis
It's the coulda woulda shouldas, right?

00:27:37.56
Shaqfoo32
And yeah, my parents, you know, were cleaning out and that shoe box disappeared. So, you know, like, I reckon there was a few Kobe rookies in that box, you know, along with some MJ's.

00:27:45.66
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:27:47.77
Shaqfoo32
And you know what, like, it it happens. I'm sure all hobbyists can feel this pain of losing stuff.

00:27:51.76
youcantcompthis
Uh-huh.

00:27:54.47
Shaqfoo32
ah And yeah, not everybody was fortunate.

00:27:56.09
youcantcompthis
It's difficult.

00:27:57.47
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, not everybody was fortunate that they were able to kind of go back to their old childhood home and find like sealed boxes of tops finest, you know, like, Oh, what I have this in my old home, my old room.

00:28:05.95
youcantcompthis
ah Whoops All right, so Kobe Bryant cards and then we'll go back and do shack as well because I think this is really cool um so I've got the 1996 ultra as one of the ones that I like as a rookie card a Because it says rookie on it.

00:28:07.04
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Have this in my old room. You know, like mom and dad kept it, you know, like, wow.

00:28:16.89
Shaqfoo32
ah

00:28:22.56
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:28:25.54
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:28:27.61
youcantcompthis
So I'll go back

00:28:28.25
Shaqfoo32
Yes.

00:28:29.31
youcantcompthis
In a PSA 10, it's almost $1,000. However, because we're i'm I'm trying to help people that are on a budget, right?

00:28:35.96
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:28:37.21
youcantcompthis
The population count at a PSA nine is 3,175. I think the card looks sick. The Kobe Bryant, it's got the cool little, he's got the little backwards going up.

00:28:48.18
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. That's the one where he's kind of like going for the layup, right?

00:28:51.80
youcantcompthis
He's going for the layup.

00:28:52.51
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:28:52.72
youcantcompthis
It's got 96, 97, Fleer Ultra, and it says rookie.

00:28:53.45
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:28:56.48
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. With the kind of jagged.

00:28:57.13
youcantcompthis
and it's got like yeah And it's got the calligraphy style writing with the, it looks cool.

00:28:57.64
Shaqfoo32
but yeah yeah ye Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yes.

00:29:03.73
youcantcompthis
It's a nice little, all and ah the last sold on that one in a PSA 9, 135 bucks. Like, nice.

00:29:10.25
Shaqfoo32
Steel. Yeah.

00:29:12.65
youcantcompthis
It's ah it's a good car.

00:29:12.72
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Absolute steel.

00:29:14.40
youcantcompthis
It peaked at almost 700 bucks back in 2021, but that's a nice Kobe Bryant rookie.

00:29:18.22
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:29:20.74
youcantcompthis
um

00:29:22.13
Shaqfoo32
And I think I've got like, I think I've got a Kobe in my room right here. Give me, give me one sec ads. Cause like I can see it. So I'm not going to take too long shuffling through, but I've got the, I've got the Fleer ultra from 97, 98 the year after.

00:29:31.32
youcantcompthis
Nice.

00:29:38.11
youcantcompthis
That's a hot card. I love that.

00:29:40.13
Shaqfoo32
And this is the gold, yeah, the gold medallion edition in the warm-up jersey.

00:29:41.63
youcantcompthis
In the warm up jersey.

00:29:45.77
youcantcompthis
That's so nice. I like the gold medallion.

00:29:47.67
Shaqfoo32
And, you know, like, this is like such a nice card.

00:29:48.27
youcantcompthis
I really do like the gold medallion.

00:29:52.13
Shaqfoo32
This is like, you know, basically his rookie season, him in the dunk comp in the warm-ups.

00:29:54.97
youcantcompthis
the

00:29:57.50
Shaqfoo32
And yeah, like, Fleer Ultra really nailed it. um You know, those two years, 96, 97, 97, 98 for me, Fleer Ultra, like, that's peak Fleer Ultra for me.

00:30:00.80
youcantcompthis
that's

00:30:06.95
youcantcompthis
Yep. And that they're they're beautiful cards.

00:30:08.76
Shaqfoo32
You know, there's some,

00:30:10.32
youcantcompthis
Like I think that's a nice, a nice iconic looking rookie for Kobe.

00:30:11.19
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:30:15.19
youcantcompthis
I'm going to go back to the main list. Where's the, what do you think of the upper deck, the base? Cause that's a nice and easy one as well.

00:30:20.01
Shaqfoo32
but

00:30:20.99
youcantcompthis
That's, that's, that's the, him and that's him smiling with the sunnies on his head.

00:30:24.36
Shaqfoo32
Yes. Yep. That one's good. I actually like for, for kind of a dark horse, curvy rookie, the collector's choice where he's got the broken hand cast.

00:30:30.10
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Ooh.

00:30:34.79
youcantcompthis
Where's that one?

00:30:34.79
Shaqfoo32
And it's like, there's like, there's a collector's choice Kobe rookie and he's got the, he's going up for the dunk and he's basically just with the broke with the hand cast on. Um, that is, yeah, that is a low key rookie Kobe that goes really cheap, very affordable.

00:30:43.95
youcantcompthis
Oh. Yeah.

00:30:51.32
Shaqfoo32
And it's the, I think it's a very, i very unique card because it's the only one that has him with the broken hand cast, the black cast on his hand.

00:31:00.14
youcantcompthis
That's true.

00:31:00.89
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:31:00.98
youcantcompthis
That's that that's true. i'm so I'm just trying to draft redemptions.

00:31:04.74
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yeah.

00:31:04.98
youcantcompthis
Trying to find some nice ones. Like Skybox Premium's a nice one.

00:31:07.73
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:31:08.75
youcantcompthis
They're affordable.

00:31:08.77
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And I think it was, there was also like, I think there was ex the start date ones were also a really nice die cuts with the die cut.

00:31:14.58
youcantcompthis
The EX one was the die cut. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:18.61
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:31:18.98
youcantcompthis
that They were sweet. They were hot. The finest was, oh, that's the bronze. There we go. I know the one you're talking about with the cast. There we go.

00:31:27.09
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:31:28.50
youcantcompthis
1996, finest. Fuel sales. Let's go and pop into that card. And that's the one in where he's breaking through. Is that the apprentice one?

00:31:37.77
Shaqfoo32
There's an apprentice one. that's the top there's ah there's a collector' yeah There's a collector's choice version of this, which is like collector's choice, upper deck, collector's choice, really, really cheap, um very low-key rookie.

00:31:39.84
youcantcompthis
That's the tops.

00:31:44.28
youcantcompthis
Far out.

00:31:49.11
youcantcompthis
Where is the color? I remember the rookie, where is it?

00:31:51.00
Shaqfoo32
um Yeah, it's...

00:31:52.22
youcantcompthis
No, not that. There's all the flare metal ones that are popping up on card letter.

00:31:53.77
Shaqfoo32
ah Yes. um But yeah, like...

00:31:57.71
youcantcompthis
Flare showcase.

00:32:00.30
Shaqfoo32
like Because I went through a little bit of a Kobe phrase when I came back and I was kind of like, oh, who is who's good value?

00:32:03.34
youcantcompthis
Mmm.

00:32:05.10
Shaqfoo32
And I was like, man, Kobe, actually, when I was going through all the old gold medallions, like clear ultra gold medallions, they probably have some of the nicest photography in the whole collection.

00:32:14.43
youcantcompthis
Hell yeah.

00:32:15.53
Shaqfoo32
There's there's the like the years after you've got the Kobe and Shaq hugging it out.

00:32:18.21
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:32:19.79
Shaqfoo32
Fleur Ultra. And then you've got like, you know, there's some really iconic photos in Fleur Ultra that go like they basically have a three, four years band of Fleur Ultra just making some of the nicest cards, really simple design, pick a really nice font for their name.

00:32:25.31
youcantcompthis
Mm hmm.

00:32:32.51
youcantcompthis
It's a Yep.

00:32:36.61
Shaqfoo32
And just simple but bling it out a little bit.

00:32:40.88
youcantcompthis
That's right. I mean, oh yeah, there's the Bowmans as well. I like the Bowmans as a look.

00:32:44.16
Shaqfoo32
Yep, yep.

00:32:45.81
youcantcompthis
That's pretty cool. The EX, um the 96 EX stuff is is crazy, the stargazing one. Stardate was, that's the one you were talking about.

00:32:54.92
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:32:55.68
youcantcompthis
um God, there's some good looking cards here.

00:33:00.10
Shaqfoo32
There you go.

00:33:00.32
youcantcompthis
But that's the thing, like, that's, the yeah, yep.

00:33:00.66
Shaqfoo32
There's the click. That's the collector's choice one.

00:33:04.80
youcantcompthis
And it's a simple one, right? Like it's not a super expensive one.

00:33:06.85
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Nope.

00:33:08.43
youcantcompthis
That's a simple one.

00:33:10.30
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:33:11.07
youcantcompthis
And we're not talking thousands and thousands of dollars for these.

00:33:11.55
Shaqfoo32
And this one's just no, like overall for this, most people have them listed.

00:33:16.62
youcantcompthis
60 bucks.

00:33:18.49
Shaqfoo32
There's 15 us.

00:33:20.17
youcantcompthis
Yeah, the cheapest ships.

00:33:21.08
Shaqfoo32
you know Yeah, you know, a PSA, PSA nine, you know, 55 bucks US, you know, so like, yeah, under 100, you know, you can get a PSA 10, you get a PSA 10, that's kind of being auctioned at the moment sitting at about 100.

00:33:21.92
youcantcompthis
Oh, there we go, PSA eight, yep.

00:33:29.66
youcantcompthis
There he is.

00:33:34.12
youcantcompthis

00:33:36.47
youcantcompthis
The height last sold price is 200 bucks.

00:33:38.38
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:33:39.26
youcantcompthis
Population counts under 1,000.

00:33:39.55
Shaqfoo32
So Yep. So, you know, like, that's a very unique Kobe that's kind of just floating under the radar. It's one of my Dark Horse Kobe's, if I had to pick one.

00:33:48.73
youcantcompthis
Not bad at all.

00:33:50.25
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. And it's just cool.

00:33:50.53
youcantcompthis
I like it.

00:33:51.71
Shaqfoo32
You know, I like these kind of like little niche cards that kind of just, you know, people aren't really buying and they don't really, you know, they don't really take notice.

00:33:57.72
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:33:59.09
Shaqfoo32
But like, once you start to notice the little quirky stuff like, oh, you know, like he had a cast on or like MJ was wearing the wrong jersey, you know, like the, you know, like the one,

00:34:06.97
youcantcompthis
Those little quirky cards.

00:34:08.42
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, you know, like, like, there's like, and it's actually, you know, it's actually their card, but it's just quirky.

00:34:09.08
youcantcompthis
Yeah, for sure.

00:34:14.04
Shaqfoo32
It's just, yeah, I love those like, like the, the MJ ones where he's like playing the the side character for the joke.

00:34:19.74
youcantcompthis
Mm-hmm.

00:34:20.71
Shaqfoo32
You know, um I can't even remember the year.

00:34:21.80
youcantcompthis
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:24.07
Shaqfoo32
I can't remember the name right now.

00:34:24.19
youcantcompthis
So good.

00:34:25.03
Shaqfoo32
But yeah, but like, it's like, it's a random card.

00:34:26.39
youcantcompthis
Oh, the Killroy. Was it Johnny Killroy?

00:34:28.61
Shaqfoo32
The yes, the Johnny Kilroy, the Johnny Kilroy upper deck.

00:34:32.23
youcantcompthis
That's one of my favorite MJ cards, just because like they did the whole ad campaign.

00:34:34.66
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:34:37.29
youcantcompthis
Who's Johnny Killroy?

00:34:37.71
Shaqfoo32
ye Yep, yep.

00:34:38.60
youcantcompthis
And it's Michael Jackson like wearing like ah glasses like Horace Grant to try and hide himself.

00:34:44.37
Shaqfoo32
Yep, yep.

00:34:44.86
youcantcompthis
and

00:34:46.35
Shaqfoo32
And it was just like, it was, I love, no, no.

00:34:47.44
youcantcompthis
But you can't hide Michael Jordan playing basketball, right? Yeah.

00:34:51.38
Shaqfoo32
And so like, you know, like, it's like Grandma Ma, it's like, you know, the Larry Johnson Grandma Ma, it's like, like these kind of cards are so unique and so iconic that you just, you know, they, yeah.

00:35:00.64
youcantcompthis
They are, they tell a story.

00:35:02.82
Shaqfoo32
And it's, it means so much more than just the price tag on it.

00:35:06.51
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

00:35:07.35
Shaqfoo32
You know, sure, you can probably get like a gold, you know, like a, like a gold version of the Johnny Kilroy in the electric court. And that'll be worth, you know, hundreds, if not thousands, but you know, give me, ye yep.

00:35:17.12
youcantcompthis
It's one card I keep looking for every time I go to a card show. At the hobby hangout I was looking for a Johnny Kilroy.

00:35:21.91
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:35:22.09
youcantcompthis
um So if anyone has a Johnny Kilroy in a PSA 10 that is willing to part ways with it, send me a DM.

00:35:27.85
Shaqfoo32
yeah Yep.

00:35:29.54
youcantcompthis
um um I'm keen. it's one It's one of those cards.

00:35:31.37
Shaqfoo32
but Let's get you, let's, let's make it this year's mission to get you a Johnny Kilroy.

00:35:34.30
youcantcompthis
um I'm looking for Johnny Kilroy. I am on the hunt for Johnny Kilroy. um Look, um'm got we're gonna take a quick break. ah Let's listen to some tunes. It's been a long section for those playing along at home on the radio show. um We're gonna put some tunes on for a bit. For those that aren't, we're just gonna pause for a little bit. ah We'll be back in a minute.

00:35:59.30
youcantcompthis
And we're back. Hope everybody enjoyed their their tunes. If you're listening to um ah Central Coast Radio, if you're on the pod, you're probably looking very confused as to why ah we paused for a minute and didn't play any songs. So if you are listening looking looking blind blankly, looking for music, tune in to our friends at Central Coast Radio. ah and And that way you can catch us. I think the pod is streamed straight into, it's like 11 PM on a Tuesday and 10 AM on a Thursday. They're the two times that the show gets um broadcast. There might be other times played throughout, but um in addition to our beautiful voices and a few commercials, you get to hear some songs, sometimes requested by the listeners, but we don't always do that for for fear of very strange content.

00:36:51.35
youcantcompthis
But anyway, we were we we were we were talking about budget Kobe's. um Maybe it's time we go and we talk about some budget checks. Like I think for under a hundred bucks, there's a handful of Kobe's you can get. Might not be a PSA 10, but they'd be in a high quality. Would you would you agree?

00:37:08.96
Shaqfoo32
yeah Yes, for sure.

00:37:11.92
youcantcompthis
Now, I think the Kobe selection is much, much broader. Cause there's some, there's like, up there's metal stuff, metal universe stuff that we haven't even touched on.

00:37:21.45
Shaqfoo32
Yep. There's tops five.

00:37:22.83
youcantcompthis
But yeah.

00:37:23.30
Shaqfoo32
There's tops Chrome. Yep. There's free ultra. It's, I think with Kobe's rookies, it came at kind of a renaissance for the hobby and you know,

00:37:30.50
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah. But don't don't feel you you're not price you're priced out of of things. Cause we are at the, we're at the tail end of the junk wax era here and there is some stuff.

00:37:39.62
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:37:41.74
youcantcompthis
might not be some the most shiny of stuff, but there's there's always, there is a Kobe at your budget if you're if you're looking for a Kobe for your PC, for sure.

00:37:42.36
Shaqfoo32
For sure.

00:37:50.82
youcantcompthis
um As for Shaq though, like, I mean, we did talk about the iconic upper deck.

00:37:50.97
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:37:56.32
youcantcompthis
Is there is there ah is that your favorite Shaq?

00:38:01.22
Shaqfoo32
I mean, it's, I think that's pretty much every shack collectors, you know, go to number one card. Like if you had to draft pick one card, one rookie, That's it. you know like it's you know It's either that or the beam team, but the beam team is actually getting pretty expensive because the MJ is pumping up that set.

00:38:18.80
youcantcompthis
Yeah, ah yeah, yeah, yeah, beam team.

00:38:20.48
Shaqfoo32
in us so yeahp you know so like You could probably get like the's the first year or the second year, Shaq, for like a pretty good bargain under 100 bucks, but you try to pick up. and I had a couple people message me recently asking and looking for it.

00:38:35.62
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:38:36.01
Shaqfoo32
you You can't get it, you know, like you can't, you can't get the, the rookie Shaq beam team, you know, for, for, for a hundred bucks.

00:38:41.17
youcantcompthis
So,

00:38:43.41
Shaqfoo32
You got to get it for like, you know, a few hundred.

00:38:45.98
youcantcompthis
Jeez, I'm just looking at it now. So, population count on a Beam Team 1992 Stadium Club.

00:38:48.50
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:38:52.91
youcantcompthis
Pop count is 128 on a PSA 10. And the last sold price is $3,484.

00:39:00.78
Shaqfoo32
There you go.

00:39:01.20
youcantcompthis
Now that is down 30%, ladies and gentlemen, that is down.

00:39:03.84
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:39:07.22
Shaqfoo32
And that's probably the peak from like 2021.

00:39:07.50
youcantcompthis
from, it was four and a half, four and a half, down 22% over the last six months.

00:39:12.67
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:39:12.82
youcantcompthis
Like February, the start of this year, that was selling for four and a half grand. And they're now available for three and a half.

00:39:22.62
youcantcompthis
I feel like the beam team for this year, this is one of those cards that that that is only is only going to trend up over the long term.

00:39:27.38
Shaqfoo32
ye And it gets harder and harder to get.

00:39:31.98
youcantcompthis
You don't find it.

00:39:33.64
Shaqfoo32
It'll get harder and harder to get.

00:39:33.76
youcantcompthis
yeah Yep. Yep.

00:39:35.80
Shaqfoo32
And it's getting harder and harder to get in a tie grade, like a 10. Like yeah I have a nine.

00:39:40.17
youcantcompthis
Once again, very interesting, three and a half.

00:39:42.23
Shaqfoo32
Very happy to have it.

00:39:43.28
youcantcompthis
Yeah, $354 of the last sold on the on the nine.

00:39:44.23
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:39:47.21
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:39:48.15
youcantcompthis
The 10 is 10X that, which makes sense, right? It's not 50X, but nice card though.

00:39:50.58
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yep. No. And we're talking about sense but talking about sensible bumps on grades. you know Like, OK, 10x on a 9 to 10.

00:39:57.28
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:40:00.41
Shaqfoo32
OK, I can kind of understand that, but not 50x.

00:40:02.97
youcantcompthis
That's a standard, right? Like a 10x.

00:40:04.70
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, you know that's fine.

00:40:05.08
youcantcompthis
Makes sense. But 50x. Yeah, 50x.

00:40:07.16
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, 50x is it.

00:40:08.02
youcantcompthis
I ah think there's value one way or another.

00:40:09.48
Shaqfoo32
And then it goes down to 8. And then an 8 becomes like, 8 and 7 become the new roars.

00:40:12.02
youcantcompthis
Right?

00:40:16.31
youcantcompthis
Yeah, that's true. That's true. um Yeah, the Beam Team is a beautiful one.

00:40:18.35
Shaqfoo32
So like, if you get so. But yeah, look, in terms of. In terms of answering your question, yeah, look, that is the, the iconic, the go-to in terms of a budget check that you can buy.

00:40:26.87
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:40:30.03
Shaqfoo32
And I'm happy to see that the kind of the rookies have kind of just cooled down a lot since the pump and dump, um, ran a little while ago.

00:40:30.18
youcantcompthis
yep

00:40:37.87
Shaqfoo32
Um, but yeah, also look, you also got some other ones you've got like the flee old, you got the ultra, you know, with the little badge.

00:40:43.16
youcantcompthis
i like that i like I like the Ultra because it's got the badge.

00:40:44.42
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:40:47.47
Shaqfoo32
Yes. It's got the rookie badge that, that stamps it.

00:40:48.27
youcantcompthis
i I am, yeah.

00:40:50.44
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:40:50.90
youcantcompthis
As long as it's got that identifier that says that it's a, now, looking at pop counts, this is obvious, an obvious issue.

00:40:51.07
Shaqfoo32
The stadium. Yep. And the hoops. Yep.

00:41:00.66
youcantcompthis
So Zion's not the only one. Luca's not the only one.

00:41:04.28
Shaqfoo32
yep

00:41:04.38
youcantcompthis
This card from 1992 Ultra, the Shaquille O'Neal rookie, which has got him, who's he who's he going over?

00:41:04.57
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:41:10.03
Shaqfoo32
I think it was like, Ooh, I need to have, I need to bring up the photo myself as well.

00:41:18.95
youcantcompthis
It gets someone from the Kings by the look of it. So it's got the rookie emblem on it, $9293 Ultra, Shaquille O'Neal, number 328.

00:41:24.64
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:41:31.45
youcantcompthis
Last sold for $66.

00:41:34.95
Shaqfoo32
Very reasonable.

00:41:35.30
youcantcompthis
In a PSA 10. Pop count, $4,332.

00:41:39.18
Shaqfoo32
yep

00:41:41.89
Shaqfoo32
And it's a good looking card as well. It's like him, you know, him pretty much doing his thing, dunking over somebody. um Another one from that same era is the, ah the kind of the inset rookie that comes along with it, which is like the 92 flare, which almost kind of like the the early kaboom.

00:41:54.26
youcantcompthis
Mm hmm.

00:42:00.09
youcantcompthis
That's so nice.

00:42:01.02
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Right.

00:42:02.54
youcantcompthis
I like that card.

00:42:02.92
Shaqfoo32
So that's from the, that's from the same year. That's kind of like, whenever I search up Shaq kaboom, this is the card that keeps popping up.

00:42:08.32
youcantcompthis
That's the card that comes up.

00:42:09.32
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:42:09.60
youcantcompthis
I like it.

00:42:10.28
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:42:10.44
youcantcompthis
I like it.

00:42:11.14
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. So whenever I said Shaq kaboom is part of my you know usual eBay search, this is the one that pops up.

00:42:14.60
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:42:15.80
Shaqfoo32
And it's almost like, you know what, that does look like a granddaddy, you know, great, great, great, great, great, granddaddy kaboom.

00:42:19.70
youcantcompthis
It does that's

00:42:23.75
youcantcompthis
That's the OG Kaboom, right?

00:42:25.80
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:42:26.49
youcantcompthis
that is That is like the OG Kaboom.

00:42:28.89
Shaqfoo32
And it's dirt cheap. It's dirt cheap. It's not recognized as a, as a, as a rookie like the, like the beam team is, but it's from the rookie year.

00:42:35.38
youcantcompthis
No.

00:42:37.71
Shaqfoo32
So.

00:42:38.04
youcantcompthis
Then there's the all rookie, the all rookie Shaq where it's got him and a bunch of photos of him.

00:42:41.39
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep.

00:42:44.59
youcantcompthis
That goes for bugger all.

00:42:46.43
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:42:46.64
youcantcompthis
Cause there's stacks of those.

00:42:47.06
Shaqfoo32
And that's a, that's a, that's a pretty one too.

00:42:49.40
youcantcompthis
It's a very nice looking card. um

00:42:52.70
Shaqfoo32
And yeah, in terms of the design, you know, like very pretty, like I, you know, our rejectors.

00:42:55.17
youcantcompthis
There we go, the rejecters, I found it, I found it.

00:42:59.47
Shaqfoo32
There you go. Yep.

00:43:00.57
youcantcompthis
In a PSA 10 last sold 150 bucks.

00:43:03.80
Shaqfoo32
yeah Yep.

00:43:04.60
youcantcompthis
Pop count is 460. My question to you right now, is that an undervalued card?

00:43:07.83
Shaqfoo32
Mm hmm.

00:43:10.55
Shaqfoo32
I believe it is. You know, it's a rookie year. It's a Fleur Ultra, you know, and it's very underrated. And a lot of the a lot of the other shacks are quite underrated. um You know, people go for the upper deck.

00:43:23.95
youcantcompthis
Shaq, Shaq Rejector, 1992.

00:43:25.38
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:43:28.09
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:43:28.44
youcantcompthis
And it's got it's got the kaboom on the ball.

00:43:30.94
Shaqfoo32
It's got the kaboom on the ball. he's You've even got the other guy who's kind of just like reeling back in in shock and awe.

00:43:35.86
youcantcompthis
Yeah, he's been blown away by the by the kaboom.

00:43:38.03
Shaqfoo32
He's been by the kaboom.

00:43:40.47
youcantcompthis
Oh, I love it.

00:43:40.53
Shaqfoo32
You know, it's a cool card, you know, the more you look at it, the more you fall in love with it.

00:43:41.20
youcantcompthis
i Yeah.

00:43:44.33
Shaqfoo32
And it's just, yeah, you got to love these old school cards because like they don't have the technology. Like you can imagine somebody working on like some old, old computer with the processing power of your calculator working on this design.

00:43:49.56
youcantcompthis
It is.

00:43:55.69
youcantcompthis
So nice. It's it's pretty awesome.

00:43:58.39
Shaqfoo32
And, you know, it's amazing. I love it.

00:44:01.45
youcantcompthis
I love this one. I like the the other one, the all rookie one. Look.

00:44:05.59
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And the hoops, the hoops one we were talking, I was bringing up before the hoops one where he's wearing his Orlando cap in his suit. That's a rookie. That's a great looking rookie as well. You know, with his cheesy cheesy grin on his face, you know, like, yeah.

00:44:15.57
youcantcompthis
That's it. I think that's a really nice one. The 92 Hoops draft redemption.

00:44:24.13
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:44:24.66
youcantcompthis
And there's some value in that, but, so what what have we got? Pop count, 529.

00:44:31.93
youcantcompthis
I love this. This is the redemption, isn't it?

00:44:33.05
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:44:33.93
youcantcompthis
Yeah, so you need the draft redemption set, which was the old equivalent of pulling ah an auto, the old school redemptions.

00:44:34.77
Shaqfoo32
yeah Yep.

00:44:44.13
youcantcompthis
That's ah that's pretty crazy. PSA 10 on the, well, let's see what a BGS 10 does, yeah. All right, so the BGS pop count 11, wow. Wow.

00:44:56.10
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. 11. That means that like, no one's grading it.

00:45:03.56
youcantcompthis
No, but 529 on the PSA 10.

00:45:04.18
Shaqfoo32
You know,

00:45:08.38
youcantcompthis
It's still, it's a low pop count.

00:45:08.46
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:45:10.73
Shaqfoo32
Very low.

00:45:11.17
youcantcompthis
Relative to these 4,000, 5,000 numbers.

00:45:14.63
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:45:14.64
youcantcompthis
um Last sold $475. I think that's good that's good value.

00:45:17.37
Shaqfoo32
and That's insane value. You know, you can buy some SGCs for around 150, 125. You know, it's, you can buy some rawls for like, you know, 50 bucks.

00:45:28.96
youcantcompthis
And you know what ah you know what I'll say, even though it's got he's got an Orlando magic cap on, it's not an Orlando card, it's a Shaq card.

00:45:28.97
Shaqfoo32
You know, it's, yep.

00:45:38.17
Shaqfoo32
No. Yeah.

00:45:40.69
youcantcompthis
Do you know what I mean? like it You can be a Miami Shaq collector, you can be a Boston Shaq collector, you can be a Lakers Shaq collector.

00:45:41.62
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:45:49.56
youcantcompthis
Doesn't matter about the cap, he's in the suit, it's draft day, it's a draft card.

00:45:50.61
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:45:53.68
youcantcompthis
This is the card he was, ah yeah.

00:45:54.09
Shaqfoo32
And I love, and I love that little NBA draft logo on the bottom corner. Like I just, yeah.

00:45:59.08
youcantcompthis
old school, like that's the pre rookie logo, right?

00:46:01.09
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep.

00:46:02.16
youcantcompthis
That's, that's the, that's the rookie card logo before we got the shield.

00:46:04.49
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep.

00:46:06.38
youcantcompthis
It's the shield before the shield.

00:46:08.59
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And it's, yeah, it's, it's a glorious card.

00:46:09.19
youcantcompthis
I like it. It is. It's, um, and I think it's very, it's, ah it's iconic is is the word I'll use. It's and no, I think it's, um,

00:46:18.87
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:46:22.24
youcantcompthis
I think it's very, very, very fitting of Shaquille O'Neal. And not, and not the most um unaffordable piece, because ah PSA 9 costs a hundred bucks.

00:46:28.97
Shaqfoo32
No. Yep. You know, so like this,

00:46:31.66
youcantcompthis
PSA 9's a hundred bucks, set pop count of 700.

00:46:33.61
Shaqfoo32
There's a lot of bargains. you know It's not as like not as broad as Kobe.

00:46:35.69
youcantcompthis
And that's the thing.

00:46:38.09
Shaqfoo32
like as You can't really find as many. like you know but But you saw kind of how design went, i really jumped ahead in the next five years, like in the next three years from Shaq to Kobe.

00:46:39.92
youcantcompthis
No.

00:46:49.00
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:46:49.49
Shaqfoo32
You know like you got the 92, 93, and then you got the Cobies three, four years later.

00:46:54.87
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:46:55.11
Shaqfoo32
And the design is just kind of really taken off. You know you look at the you look at the photography, you look at the insert quality, you know like the crazy inserts that Kobe has.

00:46:58.37
youcantcompthis
For sure, for sure.

00:47:05.31
Shaqfoo32
Shaq does not have as anything close to the beautiful Kobe inserts that Kobe has.

00:47:11.66
youcantcompthis
They don't, you're correct.

00:47:12.71
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:47:13.90
youcantcompthis
All right, so I'm just having a look at the time, make sure we're

00:47:17.39
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:47:18.22
youcantcompthis
we're We're not going too long without a second break. We'll take a quick break.

00:47:23.09
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:47:23.35
youcantcompthis
We'll play some tunes because we we we want to get into some, um I put something up on the socials this week. I put some pocket change.

00:47:30.81
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:47:31.74
youcantcompthis
We're going to deep dive right after this break.

00:47:40.10
youcantcompthis
And we're back. We hope you had a chance to go and grab a drink. um Listen to some tunes. If you're you're listening out there on Central Coast Radio, if you're watching, listening to the pod, well, we hope you you were able to get a drink while you were listening. It doesn't matter if you're listening to the radio or the you if you're on the YouTube, whatever. can you're welcome to drink, we don't mind, as long like drink responsibly, water included. Anyway, um I put something up on the socials the other day, I think it was about time, it's been a while, it's only been a few days, but it's that time of the year, the week, the the it's it the time has come, because we we went to the hobby hangout not long ago and and Al did comment

00:48:05.57
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:48:25.35
Shaqfoo32
Hmm.

Shaqfoo32
starting with a Luke Batter song.

00:49:25.95

No, I'm going to start with one that you might not be able to see because it's hidden.

00:49:26.34
Shaqfoo32

00:49:30.13
youcantcompthis

Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:49:50.27
youcantcompthis
I love it. I love it. They're they're really, really good. They're testing out the kaboom. The Kaboom Shimmer, I don't know what you want to call it.

00:49:59.22
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yeah, because yeah anniversary edition doesn't say what kind of prism it is, I guess. So it is an anniversary edition kaboom.

00:50:07.33
youcantcompthis
Nice, nice pickup there for 10 bucks. Is it a rookie? It's a rookie too.

00:50:10.48
Shaqfoo32
It is a rookie shield as well. So yeah, good steal.

00:50:12.65
youcantcompthis
Very nice, get the shield on there. um Is it Dew Rule, not Jar Rule?

00:50:18.21
Shaqfoo32
It's true, which is the the cheaper cousin of Jarl.

00:50:20.01
youcantcompthis
Dew Rule. Yeah, yeah, different vow, come from a different family of vowels.

00:50:23.27
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:50:27.10
youcantcompthis
The white 2023 prism, Jason Tatum. um For anyone that's not aware, he is actually at the Olympics. He might not be getting much court time, but he is there, he is there, he's hanging out.

00:50:37.71
Shaqfoo32
ah oh

00:50:45.08
youcantcompthis
Nice, $26 for this one, which is, I don't know if it's numbered, but it's the white prism. What do you think of that?

00:50:50.92
Shaqfoo32
white prison, PSA nine. Look, I like the white actually. It's got the kind of Jersey match, Jersey white uniform, white border.

00:50:55.63
youcantcompthis
White uniform, white uniform with a little bit of the green, it's sort of almost the same ratios as the jersey.

00:51:01.43
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:51:04.22
youcantcompthis
I do like that design.

00:51:04.87
Shaqfoo32
Yep. It's, it's a really sneaky, good design.

00:51:06.99
youcantcompthis
It pops, it pops.

00:51:08.37
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. It really pops. It's got a bit of that shimmer as well.

00:51:11.32
youcantcompthis
It's very nice.

00:51:11.64
Shaqfoo32
You know, it's yeah. And now it's very good pickup at 26 bucks.

00:51:16.04
youcantcompthis
Now, oh, this has actually got an auto on it. I didn't even notice the auto at this point.

00:51:19.85
Shaqfoo32
Wow.

00:51:21.12
youcantcompthis
So the next one is from Harley Taylor Lloyd, who's who's who's hitting the ceiling of that pocket change.

00:51:28.47
Shaqfoo32
Mm hmm.

00:51:28.58
youcantcompthis
And look, even if you do put stuff that's above that $50 mark, we are going to, we'll show it or we'll shout it out. um This is a trading card. So they're authenticating the auto clearly. This is a Don Russ rated rookie, Josh Giddy, PSA DNA certified autograph, authenticated autograph that he picked up 50 bucks. I'm curious to know where he got, if he actually got that signed by Josh.

00:51:54.46
Shaqfoo32
That's

00:51:57.86
Shaqfoo32
And then just kind of send it in for authentication.

00:51:58.79
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool.

00:52:01.24
Shaqfoo32
Very possible. You know, Joshua, I mean, look, Josh was down like they were in Melbourne.

00:52:03.70
youcantcompthis
He was down, yeah, they played a couple of games against China.

00:52:05.65
Shaqfoo32
They, he'd, he'd. Yeah, he did. He did. He also did like the whole, you know, meet and greet thing like a little while ago. I remember like some people buying a dinner, dinner, dinner evening with with giddy.

00:52:12.39
youcantcompthis
True, true.

00:52:16.49
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:52:16.74
Shaqfoo32
um Funny enough random segue, the boomers were actually training at my um the school that my kids go to in Ivanhoe.

00:52:22.57
youcantcompthis
Oh.

00:52:23.45
Shaqfoo32
So, so like one of my one of the other parents randomly showed me this photo like, Oh, do you know this guy? And I'm like, that's Josh giddy, when did that happen? He's like, Oh, my kid was doing swimming classes at the school. And they we kind of got to sneaky watch the boomers train.

00:52:37.80
youcantcompthis
Oh, wow.

00:52:38.67
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. So yeah, they, they, they, yeah, they were training it up in her grammar for, for, you know, some of the warmups before the China game.

00:52:45.06
youcantcompthis
That is pretty cool, that is pretty cool.

00:52:46.34
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:52:47.45
youcantcompthis
um we will After Pocket Change, I do have, I guess it's a live update at this point, because we are recording on Friday night.

00:52:47.75
Shaqfoo32
So.

00:52:53.10
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yes.

00:52:56.05
youcantcompthis
All right, next is a friend of the show, Anthony Milne, always in the comments, always in the comments. He has picked up a pair of Intrigue Silver LeBron's for $5 each. They are very beautiful cards. The Bernini Intrigue.

00:53:14.51
Shaqfoo32
That is very, uh, that's probably like very low key, amazing pickup. That is like five bucks for what they are.

00:53:20.67
youcantcompthis
Those silvers, yeah, yeah. Like I've i've got the AD New Orleans rookie.

00:53:24.27
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:53:25.19
youcantcompthis
It's the rookie in that from that year.

00:53:26.64
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:53:27.54
youcantcompthis
I think it's 2012.

00:53:27.64
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:53:29.50
youcantcompthis
Here's the year.

00:53:29.91
Shaqfoo32
It is a beautiful card. Like it kind of gives you that throwback to the flare, like that kind of old school flare design and.

00:53:34.02
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Flare, you've got the ah the the metal.

00:53:37.82
Shaqfoo32
flare meets, yeah, flare meets metal and the metal universe and you got you've got the kind of the silhouette like the big silhouette in the back with the great color picture in the front.

00:53:40.74
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:53:47.97
youcantcompthis
And then you got the color picture. It's, it's, yeah.

00:53:49.70
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, yep.

00:53:50.58
youcantcompthis
It's a really good card design and I agree. I think it's...

00:53:52.64
Shaqfoo32
it It really pops, you know, like if you saw those for like if you didn't know the value of this card, you just kind of gave it to a random guy and said, Oh, look what I got and can I go look guess the value, they would not say five bucks.

00:53:57.90
youcantcompthis
I'd probably add a zero at least.

00:54:04.32
Shaqfoo32
You know, like They would, yeah, most people would, most people would say this pickup is worth a lot more than five bucks, you know, and you give it, yep.

00:54:06.43
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

00:54:11.04
youcantcompthis
In 20 years time, it probably will be, let's be fair.

00:54:14.13
Shaqfoo32
Look, I think, I think he got a good deal, you know, for five bucks each.

00:54:16.35
youcantcompthis
Yeah, I think that's five bucks a each, can't go wrong.

00:54:17.97
Shaqfoo32
For five bucks each, that's $2.50-ish and Lebron, like.

00:54:20.73
youcantcompthis
That is a that is a ah stamp with, that's some nice pocket change for sure.

00:54:23.83
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Anthony knows how to play the game. Anthony knows how to play the game.

00:54:27.37
youcantcompthis
He does, he does. So does the guy he collects there in Lebronze.

00:54:31.66
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:54:32.26
youcantcompthis
Yeah, he's doing all right.

00:54:32.72
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:54:33.82
youcantcompthis
He's going all right.

00:54:34.02
Shaqfoo32
is do

00:54:35.47
youcantcompthis
And do you wanna finish this off with with Luke Batterson?

00:54:39.84
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, so look, Luke Baddison's got the Paolo Banchero um with the kind of impact. I think there's the impact prism from memory.

00:54:46.64
youcantcompthis
It is, it is, and I think he's actually referred.

00:54:48.04
Shaqfoo32
um the but As we know, as the baby kaboom.

00:54:51.93
youcantcompthis
That's right, it's right. I was gonna say, Russell has coined the term and it's catching on. It's a baby eight bucks off eBay. Try and get a kaboom for that price.

00:55:04.67
Shaqfoo32
It's a great design. like like Look, the baby kaboom, it's just

00:55:05.97
youcantcompthis
I love it, I love it.

00:55:09.32
Shaqfoo32
It's just and then and revolution really make great looking cards. Like, you know, I'm Yep.

00:55:15.58
youcantcompthis
They do, and the the I think the glitz and the glamour of opening so many of them can take away from the beauty of the impact and a few of those parallels.

00:55:25.87
Shaqfoo32
yeah

00:55:26.88
youcantcompthis
Because this the Baby Kaboom looks amazing in person.

00:55:27.12
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And like, yeah. you know, if you manage to get like the cubic version of ah revolution, another beautiful one, I've got a I've got a Kubrick shack, auto and on card revolution just absolutely beautiful in the hand like a photo doesn't do.

00:55:31.71
youcantcompthis
Mm-hmm.

00:55:37.14
youcantcompthis
Okay.

00:55:42.47
youcantcompthis
I do ah do think rev Revolution Cam is an underrated set at times.

00:55:43.83
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:55:46.75
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:55:47.60
youcantcompthis
And um yeah.

00:55:48.19
Shaqfoo32
And And look how like the light shines on all those lines. Like it actually got this kind of like one-of-one teal kind of edging happening all around with the kaboom.

00:55:56.10
youcantcompthis
it

00:55:57.67
Shaqfoo32
It's just, it's busy, but it's, I love it.

00:56:00.36
youcantcompthis
it's a It's a busy card, but it's just, it pops in all the right spots, if that makes sense.

00:56:00.61
Shaqfoo32
I love it.

00:56:03.19
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:56:06.55
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:56:07.74
youcantcompthis
Agreed. Well, that's, that I mean, I'm sure that's not the last of our pocket change. At short notice, I definitely think that that's a nice wrap. um Russell and I might check in on this and see if anybody else has posted some some pocket change. I'm like, hang on, hang on. Since since we're there, how much do you pay for that? Eight bucks, five bucks, 50 bucks, 26 bucks.

00:56:31.70
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:56:32.38
youcantcompthis
All right, no one's broken the the the the the pocket change, but I will. Uh, where are we?

00:56:37.68
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:56:38.84
youcantcompthis
Where is my, where's my camera? For those playing at home. I did. I think I said I picked this up at the hobby hangout.

00:56:45.48
Shaqfoo32
Oh, you did.

00:56:47.41
youcantcompthis
This I did.

00:56:47.67
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. You brought this up on. Yep. The last episode has got the color match.

00:56:50.50
youcantcompthis
Uh, it is. Oh, no, it was two episodes ago. I did it.

00:56:53.68
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:56:53.69
youcantcompthis
It was, um, Jamie Harkins Jr. That was my pickup.

00:56:56.93
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:56:58.93
youcantcompthis
Is there anything else that looks like pocket change? Nah, they're all things that I got stitched on. Nevermind.

00:57:03.51
Shaqfoo32
the The pocket change rules was what? Under 50 or under 100?

00:57:06.07
youcantcompthis
under 50 bucks. I think 50 bucks.

00:57:07.96
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:57:08.65
youcantcompthis
I think 50 bucks is fair.

00:57:10.72
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

00:57:12.57
youcantcompthis
50 bucks is fair. Have I got anything that resembles pocket change? Dominating. There we go. There's one. I've got a grand result. I don't know if dominating is a case as an SP. I don't think so. I think it was the other set. It was unbreakable. I've got the dominating shack.

00:57:28.31
Shaqfoo32
oh Oh, very cool.

00:57:31.65
youcantcompthis
41 points versus the paces.

00:57:32.24
Shaqfoo32
up

00:57:34.87
youcantcompthis
I don't know. Graham reserve was a weird set.

00:57:37.19
Shaqfoo32
I'll, uh, I'll definitely jump on the, uh, the pocket change bandwagon. This was my pickup, which was also a baby kaboom.

00:57:42.92
youcantcompthis
Hot.

00:57:44.47
Shaqfoo32
Uh, the LSU, LSU revolution impact baby kaboom.

00:57:44.87
youcantcompthis
Love it.

00:57:49.60
youcantcompthis
where What set was that in?

00:57:49.91
Shaqfoo32
Uh, so it was like part of um chronicles chronicles collegiate.

00:57:56.74
youcantcompthis
Oh wow, okay.

00:57:59.15
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. So like, it was like revolution.

00:58:00.27
youcantcompthis
So not only do you have actual shack cabooms, you now have a a baby caboom of baby shack.

00:58:03.61
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, I got the baby kaboom. Yeah, it is else you get it.

00:58:08.04
youcantcompthis
It's like, cause it's LSU. It's like baby shack.

00:58:09.63
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep. Take, take a guess at how much I picked this one up for.

00:58:13.86
youcantcompthis
25 bucks.

00:58:15.98
Shaqfoo32
Nine.

00:58:17.41
youcantcompthis
Wow. Really?

00:58:18.62
Shaqfoo32
Nine. It was nine. It was nine USD in the end. I made an offer to the guy. So he added a 15 and then, and then I talked him down and I ended up picking it up at the nine mark, which I hope you can see that there.

00:58:26.13
youcantcompthis
Yep.

00:58:33.54
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

00:58:34.38
youcantcompthis
Wow, nine US.

00:58:34.64
Shaqfoo32
So 9 US for it, which I'm ecstatic about. It's a serial number. It's got a serial number to 149.

00:58:41.46
youcantcompthis
Hells yeah. Yeah, rock on.

00:58:43.14
Shaqfoo32
Baby Kaboom. Yep. You know, so amazing.

00:58:47.09
youcantcompthis
All right. Well, all right. So well, that's pocket change done. We might take one last quick break. Um, I know this, the radio show shows probably going to be all over the joint this week, but this is what happens when Russell's away. Um, what are you going to do? Uh, yeah, let's take a quick break and we will be back in a minute after a couple of tunes and maybe a word from one of our sponsors.

00:59:12.34
youcantcompthis
And we are back, back for the final stretch. There's not much to tie off. um Look, can i can I be the bearer of bad news for those that are playing on the live feed? Australia has just lost to Greece.

00:59:29.03
Shaqfoo32
And, and actually the margin wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

00:59:33.44
youcantcompthis
Well, that's a positive, because now we're goingnna the best we can hope for is third in our bloody in our group.

00:59:34.55
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

00:59:39.21
youcantcompthis
um

00:59:39.43
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Because was it there was like a few, I remember like, was it, I was on the social still listening. Like, was it Australia needs to do these things to move on? And one of them was like, beat Greece. The other one was like, lose to Greece, but don't lose by more than this amount. And then there was another one was like, we need Spain to beat these, you know, to beat.

00:59:54.62
youcantcompthis
Oh, it's so bad. We're not making it.

00:59:58.16
Shaqfoo32
And it was,

00:59:59.31
youcantcompthis
We're not making it.

01:00:00.01
Shaqfoo32
yeah

01:00:00.15
youcantcompthis
um And this is what you get, Australian selectors, for not selecting Matisse Thyball.

01:00:00.93
Shaqfoo32
no

01:00:07.37
youcantcompthis
And look, because Russell's not here, I'm going to have my rant about Olympic basketball and not make it card related. I'm sorry, but Matisse Thyball is one of the best defenders in the NBA. was the best defender at the last world championship, was the best defender at the last Olympics.

01:00:20.63
Shaqfoo32
Yeah,

01:00:25.75
youcantcompthis
Why are you leaving this man out? Deliver Dover's old.

01:00:29.06
Shaqfoo32
in exchange. Yeah. no.

01:00:32.08
youcantcompthis
Jingles, I get it. They're veterans. We need people that can score the basketball and defend elite players.

01:00:43.00
youcantcompthis
Matisse Thyball, you mean Mr.

01:00:43.02
Shaqfoo32
That's where they brought Patty on for right?

01:00:46.47
Shaqfoo32
Patty Mills.

01:00:47.90
youcantcompthis
Inconsistency?

01:00:48.13
Shaqfoo32
That's what I mean, he's meant to he's meant to go full Steph Curry mode right in the ah in the in the Olympics.

01:00:53.37
youcantcompthis
goulding Goulding is the Australian player that could have gone full Steph Curry mode He was cold in the last worlds I get it But in the practice game against China he was dominant and they still didn't pick him and now they're they're raping the benefits of once again Not having enough offense Anyway It is

01:00:54.55
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:00:57.07
Shaqfoo32
Oh, Goulding. Now that's a guy that that would have. Yeah. Yeah. yeah

01:01:13.94
Shaqfoo32
You know what, I think we just have to just, yep, we just have to suck it up because like, look, it's the pool of death. You got, you got Greece, you got Spain, you know,

01:01:22.88
youcantcompthis
All right, all right.

01:01:23.11
Shaqfoo32
We had our chances with Canada. Like there was, there was, there was genuine chances in Canada until we started throwing it away in the second half.

01:01:24.91
youcantcompthis
True, true.

01:01:30.17
Shaqfoo32
It was, yeah, that was hard to watch.

01:01:31.59
youcantcompthis
You mean until the third quarter where we couldn't hit a shot?

01:01:32.87
Shaqfoo32
yeah And, and yep.

01:01:33.79
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, about that.

01:01:35.73
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And then every time Giddy would drive and lose, lose control.

01:01:38.60
youcantcompthis
He was like, I'm gonna be ball dominant and turn the ball over.

01:01:40.53
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:01:41.68
youcantcompthis
That's really not the way to do it.

01:01:42.45
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:01:44.06
youcantcompthis
um Disappointing.

01:01:44.17
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:01:46.26
youcantcompthis
Do you think the United States will win the gold?

01:01:49.53
Shaqfoo32
I looked, they, they, they have kind of like tied it up except for like, you know, LeBron and 80 getting busted for going out. I think it was this morning they went out clubbing and they got busted. That would not have happened if Kobe was on the team.

01:02:02.63
youcantcompthis
Kobe is the one that was like, they're all coming back from clubbing and Kobe's off to the gym.

01:02:02.84
Shaqfoo32
you know

01:02:06.85
Shaqfoo32
He's off to the gym and then they're on and then everyone's like, Oh shit, we we kind of need to do better.

01:02:07.07
youcantcompthis
He's like, we messed up, we we messed up.

01:02:11.50
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:02:12.17
youcantcompthis
And like, but that whole, like that Netflix special about Kobe is just like, that man's work ethics on another level.

01:02:12.52
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:02:18.80
Shaqfoo32
It's, yeah, it's a whole different world.

01:02:19.45
youcantcompthis
And it is, but he's doing a job and literally he's like, ah we're here to win.

01:02:24.85
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:02:25.38
youcantcompthis
Job's not done until we win, so let's do that.

01:02:27.26
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:02:27.76
youcantcompthis
um

01:02:28.05
Shaqfoo32
Yep. That's why he's got the mom of mentality and that's why he's got it.

01:02:31.73
youcantcompthis
It's true. It's very true.

01:02:32.89
Shaqfoo32
You know, Ooh, that was fun watching them win the world.

01:02:33.20
youcantcompthis
um I don't know. I'd like to see Germany win just to really mess with everybody.

01:02:40.47
Shaqfoo32
So that was actually a really fun ride watching Germany win.

01:02:42.64
youcantcompthis
I still think there's sneaky chance. ah they I still think there are sneaky chance.

01:02:46.67
Shaqfoo32
They can definitely still do it. Canada can definitely, can definitely do some damage as well, you know?

01:02:51.18
youcantcompthis
I think Canada will do damage. I'd be watching out for um for Serbia.

01:02:57.09
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah.

01:02:57.86
youcantcompthis
The best player in the world plays for Serbia.

01:02:57.88
Shaqfoo32
you like yeahp And like, look, he just needs to play more minutes, honestly.

01:03:01.60
youcantcompthis
Jokic can do it off his bat.

01:03:05.63
Shaqfoo32
Cause like we saw the plus minus when he's off the court.

01:03:06.72
youcantcompthis
Next time he matches up against anyone that's a threat, he's playing 40 minutes of basketball.

01:03:10.51
Shaqfoo32
Hmm. Yeah. Cause they, yeah, the moment he's off the court, they, they, they can't play, you know, so he he just stays on the court, plays his 40 minutes when it comes game time.

01:03:15.14
youcantcompthis
They can't play, yeah.

01:03:21.75
Shaqfoo32
And this will also be good conditioning for him for the season as well.

01:03:24.78
youcantcompthis
Jokic and Jovic.

01:03:27.27
Shaqfoo32
Jokic and Jovic.

01:03:28.69
youcantcompthis
It's um the the Serbian dynamic duo. um

01:03:32.23
Shaqfoo32
I was very impressed by RJ Barrett, you know, like he's been playing great.

01:03:34.96
youcantcompthis
and ah Yeah, yeah, true, true.

01:03:36.70
Shaqfoo32
yeahp you know Yeah.

01:03:36.76
youcantcompthis
Like Canada's a good watch. um Greece is pretty much Giannis, but Giannis is a pretty good player to be playing any other four players on the court.

01:03:39.47
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:03:42.04
Shaqfoo32
He's just Giannis.

01:03:49.60
Shaqfoo32
And Japan was fun while it lasted.

01:03:51.74
youcantcompthis
Yeah, look, Rui gave it his all, but look, true.

01:03:52.62
Shaqfoo32
ye yeah He got you got hosed on the game with France, but you know when um you know so but one of their boys actually got picked up. the um what's this name I think it was Kawamura, who was the one that dropped 29 points.

01:04:05.47
youcantcompthis
Okay. Yeah.

01:04:06.86
Shaqfoo32
So he he got given a 10-day exhibition, one-year contract. um so

01:04:11.06
youcantcompthis
Nice.

01:04:12.33
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, so he is going to the NBA next season. um whether Whether he ends up in the G League for a little while is another thing, but you know what?

01:04:15.58
youcantcompthis
That's awesome.

01:04:19.45
youcantcompthis
Yup.

01:04:20.12
Shaqfoo32
he He shined in the Olympics, and this is what happens when you play in the Olympics. And I think a few of the South Sudanese will actually get some game time as well.

01:04:25.85
youcantcompthis
Do you know on that Lleweldang funded,

01:04:27.67
Shaqfoo32
um

01:04:30.79
youcantcompthis
them their team going to the Olympics.

01:04:32.84
Shaqfoo32
Everything.

01:04:33.60
youcantcompthis
Yeah, he funded a lot out of his own pocket to support um so it's out like Sudanese basketball.

01:04:34.29
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:04:39.30
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:04:39.35
youcantcompthis
I think that's really, really, really honorable what he's doing.

01:04:39.74
Shaqfoo32
Amazing.

01:04:41.51
youcantcompthis
Like really, like that's a good, that's not just a good deed, that's that's amazing.

01:04:46.26
Shaqfoo32
that, yeah, like, and that's the thing, like, Luell, I think, like, you ask a lot of people who who look back on the world's career, he was a solid person, like, he's always been a solid person, you know, like, always, always pushing for his country.

01:04:47.96
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:04:50.35
youcantcompthis
Mm. Yep.

01:04:56.01
youcantcompthis
For sure, for sure.

01:04:59.48
Shaqfoo32
And you can see that in the way the team plays, which is why like, they're kind of like the Olympic darlings of the NBA tournament is like, they play with a lot of passion, they play with a lot of heart, they don't have a lot of money in the game, which actually they have no money, it's just Luell's money, you know, it's like, and

01:05:05.34
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:05:10.01
youcantcompthis
Yep. No. And it's, but it it's, it goes from, it goes from like, ah we love the spectacle of the game. Don't get me wrong. It's amazing.

01:05:20.28
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:05:20.70
youcantcompthis
It's high. Like watching the NBA is watching the pinnacle, but at a grassroots level that it's a community sport.

01:05:21.92
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:05:29.97
youcantcompthis
Do you know what I mean?

01:05:29.98
Shaqfoo32
Yes.

01:05:30.38
youcantcompthis
Like you talk a bit, you go to, no matter what suburb you are in Melbourne, there's a basketball stadium nearby and there are active kids playing basketball.

01:05:35.04
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:05:39.28
youcantcompthis
It's a community sport.

01:05:39.68
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:05:40.96
youcantcompthis
And the wild dang has taken that community sport concept to a country like South Sudan.

01:05:41.02
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:05:50.41
youcantcompthis
I think that's, that's, that's such a humanitarian thing to do to really sort of inspire people.

01:05:52.60
Shaqfoo32
It's great to see.

01:05:55.88
Shaqfoo32
And they've done it in five years, like, like this country was at war, like it was a war torn country five years ago.

01:05:57.73
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Like.

01:06:02.95
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:06:03.23
Shaqfoo32
So, you know, like, in five years, you've, you've turned, you know, at ah basically a a country that has no real league or real hopes or real, you know, real players.

01:06:12.89
youcantcompthis
Yeah, there's no escape. No escape from from the horizon.

01:06:15.01
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, yep.

01:06:16.61
youcantcompthis
And it is like it's it's doing that small bit.

01:06:16.74
Shaqfoo32
Yep. And yep.

01:06:20.20
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:06:20.75
Shaqfoo32
So yeah, I think, yeah, massive shout out to Luald Dang. um You know, all all the guys who collect Chicago, you definitely need to have a Luald Dang in your collection.

01:06:23.99
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:06:28.99
youcantcompthis
Damn right.

01:06:29.19
Shaqfoo32
Just like how people from Boston must have a Brian Scalabrini.

01:06:33.01
youcantcompthis
Don't, if you're from LA, you have to pay for the people from Chicago that want the little world dang. Cause we, I think last year we stopped paying him anyway.

01:06:41.61
Shaqfoo32
He was like, he was getting five million. I remember seeing that contract.

01:06:43.66
youcantcompthis
He was, he was getting paid for his Lakers. It was one year Lakers contract.

01:06:46.34
Shaqfoo32
For five, it was like, yeah, he was like $5 billion dollars for like five or six years after his card after his contract finished, which is like the most amazing, amazingly, but you know what?

01:06:55.36
youcantcompthis
Yeah. It was like.

01:06:57.32
Shaqfoo32
But now that we know what he's done with that money, you're kind of like, you know what, I think you should have paid him more. You know, like, you know, yeah.

01:07:01.52
youcantcompthis
Yeah, it's like, you know what? Good job Lakers, well done. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Oh goodness. Oh, all right. Well, I've, I've, I've run out of topics cause I'm not Russell. I don't have extra topics. I've, um, got Shaq Co, Shaq and Coby rookies. We've done pocket change.

01:07:17.53
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Check.

01:07:19.17
youcantcompthis
We've, we've shared some Shaq and Coby stories. There is one Shaq and Coby piece that I've got. And I don't have the, the um, the, the, is the, is it the refractor version from select, but the prison version, the California dreaming.

01:07:25.27
Shaqfoo32
Yes.

01:07:30.77
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Oh, yes.

01:07:33.49
youcantcompthis
Oh god, the yeah, it's like a three.

01:07:33.85
Shaqfoo32
I've seen that one.

01:07:35.13
youcantcompthis
It's a no, I've got a 9.5 BTS 9.5 Shaq and Kobe.

01:07:35.43
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep. It's got a nice. Yep.

01:07:39.45
youcantcompthis
The California Dreaming. It's just the it's the ultimate team up card.

01:07:41.05
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:07:44.12
Shaqfoo32
It's a great card, that one. i've i've seen I've just added that one this year as well. and It's just a beautiful card. Just the two of them side by side. Beautiful photography.

01:07:52.33
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:07:52.62
Shaqfoo32
you know like it's It's much like that ultra, that flea ultra that I was talking about, where Kobe's jumped into Shaq's arms and they're kind of hugging it out.

01:07:59.77
youcantcompthis
Yep.

01:08:00.15
Shaqfoo32
like That's that's like you know just beautiful cards.

01:08:02.19
youcantcompthis
It's that piece of history.

01:08:04.01
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. And like, especially when like, especially when like, you know, their history, you know, like, you know, you know, the, you know, the history, you know, the beef, you know, the fighting, like you hear, you hear all the, like yeah.

01:08:04.79
youcantcompthis
Tells the story.

01:08:08.47
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:08:14.91
youcantcompthis
You know the love and hate relationship that it was. Like when Kobe was like, what what i mean we when he won number five, he's like one more than Shaq.

01:08:18.11
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:08:22.88
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep. And Shaq hates that. He absolutely hates it. He brings it up on the podcast almost every time now.

01:08:30.14
youcantcompthis
He's like, yes.

01:08:30.59
Shaqfoo32
And he's just like my, Yeah, him and Pau, him and Pau Gasol did it.

01:08:35.64
youcantcompthis
Yep.

01:08:35.84
Shaqfoo32
And, and you know, Kobe has a beautiful relationship with Pau Gasol. Like you, you know, like it's, and you can kind of when Shaq, when like Shaq doesn't talk about it, but like, I'm sure he's so jealous of that kind of the way that Pau and Kobe has that beautiful relationship.

01:08:40.75
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah.

01:08:49.55
youcantcompthis
That brother that brother brotherhood that they sort of formed and and look, I mean, Shaq and Kobe had that eventually.

01:08:50.99
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yep.

01:08:55.86
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yes.

01:08:56.72
youcantcompthis
And if they'd stuck together, God.

01:08:59.15
Shaqfoo32
But who would have known who would know what they would accomplish.

01:09:00.35
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:09:01.69
Shaqfoo32
It's kind of like the Shaq penny, you know, like, like there's Shaq, you know, like Shaq and penny, like Shaq actually had penny on his podcast on the big podcast.

01:09:04.08
youcantcompthis
Yeah, it's true. It's like, what could they have done?

01:09:10.75
youcantcompthis
o

01:09:11.23
Shaqfoo32
And it was like, they talked it out and they're like, man, imagine what could have happened. You know, like, and yeah, you just, you never know. But this is probably why like Shaq Orlando and Shaq penny auto is probably one of the most valuable ones outside of a Shaq Kobe, you know,

01:09:22.47
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Yeah, agreed, agreed, agreed. One of my first Shaq inserts that I kept that i that I held onto from when I collected in the 90s was the Shaq, Penny, Thunder and Lightning.

01:09:35.81
Shaqfoo32
Skybox.

01:09:36.12
youcantcompthis
That was, yeah, the Skybox, and that was...

01:09:37.49
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. with the With the little blue, with the blue kind of halo shimmer in the back.

01:09:40.34
youcantcompthis
Love it.

01:09:40.97
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:09:40.98
youcantcompthis
And on the back, it's got, like, the, it was the landscape with Penny, the streaks.

01:09:43.15
Shaqfoo32
The streaks. Yeah. The landscape of the streaks of the, yep.

01:09:45.81
youcantcompthis
And then the other times, it's Shaq's with the Thunder and Penny's the Lightning, yeah.

01:09:48.81
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep.

01:09:50.21
youcantcompthis
It was, yeah, yeah, Shaq's definitely the Thunder.

01:09:52.67
Shaqfoo32
I remember pulling that from the pack and thinking I've just won the lottery as a kid. That was, yeah.

01:09:57.01
youcantcompthis
way they were like they were I think there were like three dollar packs of Skybox at the reject shop in the city and I saw them one day because I noticed they used to do like packs of hoops for a dollar and then I went back and I'm like, oh, they've got Skybox for like $2 or $3.

01:10:01.56
Shaqfoo32
Yes. Yep.

01:10:05.55
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:10:13.56
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:10:14.72
youcantcompthis
go back, run down with 20 bucks and like load me up, give me some packs.

01:10:15.45
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:10:18.75
youcantcompthis
And then walked out and I pulled this and I'm like, it was like a $50 card at the time.

01:10:18.78
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:10:23.23
Shaqfoo32
Yes, it was.

01:10:23.34
youcantcompthis
Cause Shaq was so big. And I was just like, I just went and got a junk pack and I've like got the best card available in that pack.

01:10:25.37
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:10:28.64
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:10:31.56
youcantcompthis
It was so good. And now the cards worth a lot less.

01:10:37.43
Shaqfoo32
It's not, I don't think everything could have appreciated like the Thunder, like the, like the arm scoring Kings.

01:10:37.73
youcantcompthis
Good card though.

01:10:42.83
youcantcompthis
Scoring Kings, oh my God.

01:10:43.08
Shaqfoo32
Like, yeah.

01:10:45.35
youcantcompthis
So we were talking about this the other week.

01:10:45.38
Shaqfoo32
yeah

01:10:46.95
youcantcompthis
Was it last week or the week before? with like oh No, last week when um Al was talking about the question, about inserts in the 90s, what's gonna be the new, um what do we think of 90s?

01:10:54.24
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. The new hot thing.

01:10:58.69
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah. And we've gone like, well, be like the equivalent of your of your um Scoring Kings and your PMGs, ah Downtown and Kaboom.

01:11:08.26
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, pretty much.

01:11:10.39
youcantcompthis
Is there any other modern insert or SSP that you think slates color blast?

01:11:14.28
Shaqfoo32
I mean, people would throw in like, you know, your blank slates and your color blast. Yeah, yeah.

01:11:19.46
youcantcompthis
Yeah. Yeah. You think they're the ones that we chase over the next 10 years.

01:11:20.97
Shaqfoo32
um You know, but if I had to, yeah, if I had to do a kind of direct comparison between them, I think the other kaboom and the downtown, like those those two, the kaboom and downtown, really unique.

01:11:31.03
youcantcompthis
Yeah. I like the color blast. I like the color blast.

01:11:34.41
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Color blast is really nice.

01:11:35.78
youcantcompthis
Yep.

01:11:36.47
Shaqfoo32
Color blast is really nice, but so is the blank slate. But yeah, I think for a bit of bling, yeah.

01:11:39.77
youcantcompthis
Not the cherry blossom and prism rookies.

01:11:42.25
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. che but And then the baby cabooms. But yeah, like, like, like, yep.

01:11:45.53
youcantcompthis
Baby cabooms.

01:11:48.19
Shaqfoo32
But no, the caboom, the caboom and the downtown, I think those will remain a really hot charge.

01:11:52.14
youcantcompthis
o

01:11:55.30
Shaqfoo32
I mean, look, you talked about it earlier. we Sorry to bring up old runes, but, you know, your Kobe, like it went from 200 to 4,000, you know, like, like,

01:11:59.96
youcantcompthis
Yeah. There's this point where everyone just goes, shit, we should have bought those.

01:12:06.89
Shaqfoo32
Yes, you know, and it'll be the same thing like like with these cabooms and these downtowns, which we're already seeing anyway, like you already seeing of the downtowns with the right downtown, you're going to be into the 1000s.

01:12:11.30
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:12:18.23
youcantcompthis
Yep, yep.

01:12:19.79
Shaqfoo32
You know, and same with the right kaboom, the right kaboom, now they're bringing in in the gold variants to 10.

01:12:24.27
youcantcompthis
Oh God, yeah, they're making the super collectible cards even more super collectible.

01:12:24.60
Shaqfoo32
Like, yeah, so then they'll be there.

01:12:28.77
youcantcompthis
They're nice of them.

01:12:30.45
Shaqfoo32
They end up becoming like the the atomic refractor, you know,

01:12:33.27
youcantcompthis
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

01:12:34.91
Shaqfoo32
You know, like I'm waiting for them to kind of bring out a one of one kaboom, which is like the black kaboom.

01:12:36.28
youcantcompthis
God.

01:12:39.97
youcantcompthis
ah No, so the the one of one is the green one.

01:12:40.11
Shaqfoo32
You know, like it's a green. Yeah.

01:12:44.92
youcantcompthis
they um Yeah, the green is the one of one.

01:12:46.41
Shaqfoo32
I see. And that's the thing. I have never seen them. So that's probably why I don't even know there's a green kaboom.

01:12:51.39
youcantcompthis
And there was like a tater, the tatum got pulled.

01:12:52.32
Shaqfoo32
Yikes.

01:12:54.39
youcantcompthis
And we were talking about this a few weeks ago, where it was like, oh, wow, that's cool.

01:12:54.55
Shaqfoo32
Yeah. Hmm.

01:12:57.60
youcantcompthis
And then we're, I'm kind of like, is it though?

01:12:58.64
Shaqfoo32
yeah

01:13:02.11
youcantcompthis
Do you know what I mean?

01:13:02.28
Shaqfoo32
I think for me, I think for me, a Kaboom should have just keep it in the silver, keep it in that, you know, that design.

01:13:02.64
youcantcompthis
Like, is it cool?

01:13:08.70
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:13:09.93
Shaqfoo32
It actually didn't need to be serialized, the Kaboom.

01:13:13.22
youcantcompthis
Agreed.

01:13:13.23
Shaqfoo32
It was already hard enough, already hard enough to get, you know, it just didn't need, didn't need a one-on-one treatment, didn't need the 10 treatment.

01:13:15.80
youcantcompthis
Yep.

01:13:20.69
youcantcompthis
True, true.

01:13:21.68
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:13:21.88
youcantcompthis
Although it does need better centering, that's for sure.

01:13:23.87
Shaqfoo32
Yes. Yeah.

01:13:25.74
youcantcompthis
0% at the moment generate on the wenbies anyway, but low.

01:13:29.34
Shaqfoo32
Wow.

01:13:30.11
youcantcompthis
Yeah, the centering on the shoes, cabooms and blank slates with borders is a lot different.

01:13:33.08
Shaqfoo32
Yeah.

01:13:34.37
youcantcompthis
So cool.

01:13:35.04
Shaqfoo32
hu But yeah, you know, like other than that, and you know, slammies are nice, but they yeah they're not they're not as ah they're not as iconic.

01:13:41.48
youcantcompthis
Do you reckon Slammies are underrated?

01:13:44.86
Shaqfoo32
Slammies are cool. Like, you know, for what they are, like a like a cheap pickup for an SSP, I've kind of been doing some, I've done, I've been trying to pick up ah a slammy shack.

01:13:45.96
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:13:52.21
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:13:53.71
Shaqfoo32
And then there's the other one, which is the egos.

01:13:56.05
youcantcompthis
Okay, yeah, yeah.

01:13:56.32
Shaqfoo32
the Donruss egos, where they kind of have the the the the the nickname in the background, like Shaq's a diesel, so he's got this truck.

01:14:03.50
youcantcompthis
Yeah, got the truck.

01:14:04.80
Shaqfoo32
Whenby's the alien, he's got the, you know, the UFO.

01:14:04.86
youcantcompthis
Okay, that's right. Yeah, I think they're a bit underrated maybe.

01:14:09.01
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, but I think like i think it was quite possibly because the design is a little basic, like like for the for the for the, yeah, it does, you know?

01:14:14.00
youcantcompthis
Mmm, when these one looks pretty sick though when these pops with the let the the alien ship Yeah But okay

01:14:18.44
Shaqfoo32
But yeah, like, like With the U of the UFO. Yeah. But like, I've kind of seen like, when you've seen them do better, like you can kind of go like, Oh, was that a custom card? Like, did somebody make that? You know, like, you know, so when I have that question, I'm kind of like, Ooh, okay. So it's it's a good card. I want it, but not, not as much as I want to kaboom or I want, uh, yeah.

01:14:38.72
youcantcompthis
For sure, for sure. And I think that's, yeah, that's interesting to know where the cabooms are at.

01:14:44.39
Shaqfoo32
Yep.

01:14:44.57
youcantcompthis
All right, before we tear tie this bad boy up, I need to know, um last time you were on the hunt, and I know you've collected them since, you're Shaq Auto, so you've got one for every every era of Shaq, what is on your hit list at the moment, Shaq-wise?

01:14:52.38
Shaqfoo32
Yep. Yep. Yep.

01:15:02.40
Shaqfoo32
Look, I'm still trying to get the Cleveland, the Cleveland shack. And then I recently added, I recently added the Boston shack with the 36 in the auto.

01:15:05.60
youcantcompthis
Oh.

01:15:09.87
youcantcompthis
Yeah, so the Cleveland one's still outstanding.

01:15:10.47
Shaqfoo32
Um, those, those two. the Cleveland, I actually saw one finish a sale basically literally the day before, like I kind of like was just, you know, how like when you go, when you go eBay shopping, you just kind of go like search it up.

01:15:20.49
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:15:23.00
Shaqfoo32
And now I just like, Oh, it's, you know, like, you gotta be kidding me, this just sold yesterday, like this, you know, like I haven't been looking for one or two days and this popped up.

01:15:32.11
youcantcompthis
Yeah, it's like I take a day off and this happens, what?

01:15:33.19
Shaqfoo32
You know, And it's sold at a really cheap price, like the Cleveland in the majestic, um you know, with the basketball, like the half-present, the die-cut auto for Cleveland.

01:15:44.72
youcantcompthis
Oh, no.

01:15:47.17
Shaqfoo32
So that's that one's like, you know, with the Shaq in the 13, you know, like we was little, you know, not Shaq 13, but like his Shaq we was 33.

01:15:49.68
youcantcompthis
Mm. The yeah.

01:15:55.71
Shaqfoo32
That went for like, you know, like every other Shaq, three, 400 USD, where like, I've actually had people approach me and sell it to me on the Shaq forums go like, 2000. I'm like, no, you know,

01:16:07.23
youcantcompthis
2,000 watt, 2,000 year, like rupees?

01:16:08.89
Shaqfoo32
to 2000 USD, 2000 USD, you know, they were the man like, you know, like, it's it's a $3,400 card.

01:16:10.69
youcantcompthis
2,000 rupees? What are you talking about? Come on, 400 bucks. Yeah.

01:16:17.46
Shaqfoo32
I'm fine with that, you know, but I'm not paying you $2,000 for it, man.

01:16:20.47
youcantcompthis
Damn right, damn right.

01:16:20.98
Shaqfoo32
Like, you know, you know, um so those those are my hands.

01:16:22.10
youcantcompthis
That's wrong.

01:16:23.99
Shaqfoo32
But look, you know, to kind of like kind of like tie me over in the meantime, I've been slowly picking up the Leafs, because like, the Leafs are funny.

01:16:29.43
youcantcompthis
Okay.

01:16:31.17
Shaqfoo32
And I was showing you before, but I think we need to send the people at home. So this is like the leaf. um Fourth it Independence Day collection.

01:16:39.35
youcantcompthis
Okay. It's a bit dark there.

01:16:39.97
Shaqfoo32
So there we go.

01:16:40.63
youcantcompthis
Oh, yeah. Oh, I can see it. I can see it. Yep.

01:16:43.18
Shaqfoo32
There you go. It's got the hot dogs.

01:16:43.76
youcantcompthis
So it's the colors. It's interesting because it's got, yeah.

01:16:46.21
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, it's got the Miami.

01:16:47.14
youcantcompthis
I love it. Hot dogs in the back.

01:16:48.03
Shaqfoo32
It's got like, it's the hot, it's the hot dog variant, which is like, when I heard about taco factors, I was kind of like, Oh, I want a taco factor card.

01:16:55.85
youcantcompthis
He's got a hot dog.

01:16:56.26
Shaqfoo32
Um, he's got a hot dog.

01:16:56.73
youcantcompthis
He's got a 4th of July hot dog.

01:16:58.65
Shaqfoo32
So I've got the hot dog. I've got the fireworks.

01:17:00.66
youcantcompthis
And that's the Miami colors he's in. Obviously the leaf ones don't have the branding, so.

01:17:02.58
Shaqfoo32
That's Miami colors. They should have done better with the picture for me, but you know what?

01:17:07.28
youcantcompthis
Mmm.

01:17:07.59
Shaqfoo32
i'll I'll live with it because it's hot dogs.

01:17:09.68
youcantcompthis
They could've put a hot dog over the jersey.

01:17:09.71
Shaqfoo32
um I picked, I picked that, I bought that for like 60 bucks.

01:17:15.33
youcantcompthis
You know it'd be better than hot dogs. Barbecue chicken.

01:17:19.04
Shaqfoo32
Oh, barbecue chicken, Shaq card. That would be amazing. You should really release some some some hot, and some chicken, barbecue chicken, Shaq cards.

01:17:27.14
youcantcompthis
Some like Popeyes or something, just like, just any fried chicken, yeah.

01:17:28.68
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, yep. Well, he's got big chicken, that's his brand. So he should do a big chicken yeah promo.

01:17:33.52
youcantcompthis
It's just, yeah, big chicken card, done.

01:17:36.12
Shaqfoo32
Yeah, big chicken card and just do a whole series.

Uh, I'm on ah Instagram as a shack through 32. Um, that's where you'll find me. I do float around on the forums on Facebook as my name, Joe Fu. Um, but everyone still calls me shack through, you know, like, yeah, just at the moment I've kind of been a bit more quiet on the IG because I've been trying to sell up some stuff just to get ready for the next hobby hangout, which is coming in in November.

01:19:19.67
youcantcompthis
Yeah.

01:19:19.85
Shaqfoo32

01:19:41.62
youcantcompthis
I'm not going to go and speak off the cuff because I'll, I'll put my foot in my mouth. Um, but we've got some ideas. We want to do something a little bit different. We want to have some, um, some listener interaction and some, and some fun down at the, uh, we want to create our own little maybe mini trade zone, some pocket change. Who knows? If you've got suggestions, pop them on the Facebook group. um But yes, it's a pleasure as always.
