MVP Repeat, Million-Dollar Grails, and the All-Rookie Shakeup

In this episode, we break down the most explosive week in the NBA and the card market. We start with the official 2025-26 All-Rookie Team selections—did the voters get it right, or was there a snub in the Second Team?

We also dive deep into the "speculation game" following a listener question: Can lower-end cards actually become special? 

Plus, we’re talking Big Money:

• LeBron Superfractors: Is the ceiling still rising for the King?
• SGA Back-to-Back: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander officially cements his legacy with a second straight MVP. What does this do for his blue-chip card value?
• The 7-Figure Club: We analyze why NBA sales are consistently crossing the $1M mark in 2026.
• Kobe PMG Madness: The Green PMG shattered records at $3.15M, but the Red PMG sales are the ones truly surprising the market. We break down the "Ruby" surge.

What's up everybody?

Thank you so much for joining. This is the Yukon Compus NBA Trading Card podcast. I am your host Russell Gibson

0:12

12 seconds

and this is a Sunday night stream and we are going to nerd out on all things basketball cards. And we're going to

0:20

20 seconds

start off here with Adam Gray. Adam Gray at the227 guy on Twitter.

0:27

27 seconds

always making fantastic content and frankly saves me a whole heap of time when I'm doing research for stuff. We

0:35

35 seconds

have a new record sale for a basketball superfrator and again it's LeBron. In fact, four of the six priciest

0:42

42 seconds

basketball supertors are LeBron. The other two are Con and Wemby and that Conupo one is going to end up as a big ball of poop.

0:53

53 seconds

What do you think the best basketball super fractor is? And as we go through the comments, what Adam meant to say was the best of these particular two.

1:05

1 minute, 5 seconds

I mean, if you're looking at the photography of it, I think it's clearly

1:12

1 minute, 12 seconds

the picture on the left. Like there's no there's no two ways about it.

1:19

1 minute, 19 seconds

And that is the 2004 Tops Chrome supertor, which is him doing the reverse jam.

1:26

1 minute, 26 seconds

If you're talking about hobbywise, I probably think the one on the right is

1:34

1 minute, 34 seconds

better because it's LeBron in a Lakers uniform. It's an autograph on it and it's first year of Topps chrome coming back.

1:44

1 minute, 44 seconds

But I think if you're being sensible about this, it's PSA 10, the 2000.

1:52

1 minute, 52 seconds

I said 2024, I think before. I meant to say 2004.

1:57

1 minute, 57 seconds

That's PSA 10. And so I think that's going to go a long way in terms of long-term collectibility. Also, the

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

price point. So it's $720,000 in 2020 and $1.2 million in 2026. So I think we need to point that out, too. So I think

2:11

2 minutes, 11 seconds

if you're just playing the numbers game, you have to go for the 2004 super refractor. Answers in the Twitter post.

2:19

2 minutes, 19 seconds

Ryan Stadler. The easy answer is the one that doesn't seem to have a known home.

2:26

2 minutes, 26 seconds

Outside of that, I like the ' 04 more than the 2025. I should have worded my question better.

2:34

2 minutes, 34 seconds

Best superfactor here. I'm always taking the first year over later years. Always. Best superfactor ever. It's the Steph.

2:41

2 minutes, 41 seconds

And that's coming from Adam Gray.

2:45

2 minutes, 45 seconds

Ryan replied, "What do you think the 04 would do today? push 2 million. Adam's response, I'm not too sure at all. I can

2:52

2 minutes, 52 seconds

never tell with this high and stuff, but which would I be more interested in?

2:57

2 minutes, 57 seconds

It's not even close. All right, I'm going to guess on that one. I'm going to say like 1.5 1.8. I think for that to get to 2 million, a lot a lot of things

3:06

3 minutes, 6 seconds

have to happen. And I don't think enough time is elapsed by for that card to get to 2 million. But still absolutely insane

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

card on that one. All right, coming in next here we got some NBA news and this is from Shams Shirania.

3:25

3 minutes, 25 seconds

All rookie team from 2005 2005 from 2526.

3:31

3 minutes, 31 seconds

First team is Cooper Flag, Dylan Harper, Conan, VJ Edgecom, Cedric Coward. No massive surprises there. The only one

3:38

3 minutes, 38 seconds

that I was a bit 50/50 on is Cedric Coward.

3:42

3 minutes, 42 seconds

Probably earlier on in the season, I was thinking probably Derek Queen was probably going to be first team. So, he fell off a little bit towards the end of

3:50

3 minutes, 50 seconds

the season. I think if I was predicting early on in the season or even before the season started, I I would have said Ace Bailey. I'm super high on this kid.

3:58

3 minutes, 58 seconds

I'm still super high on him. Like, I don't really care that he missed out on all rookie first team. Like, it like it just doesn't matter long term,

4:07

4 minutes, 7 seconds

particularly when they're still in that early developmental phase.

4:10

4 minutes, 10 seconds

the sort of the dark horse of though it's actually Ray node because he played for the Kings this year. He had a heap of time and he finished the season in a

4:19

4 minutes, 19 seconds

really really strong manner. But in saying that I love Cedric Coward and I'm kind of glad that this guy got on because his numbers weren't that

4:27

4 minutes, 27 seconds

fantastic. So I really think for him he got on there for like defense and you know dare I even say it a little bit of hustle. So that's super cool. What we

4:35

4 minutes, 35 seconds

should do now is look at some card values of these five guys. So, all right. If we start off here with

4:42

4 minutes, 42 seconds

Dylan Harper, he's he's the one who I probably think is the most interesting in terms of just like pure value because

4:52

4 minutes, 52 seconds

he's currently trading at 400 USD for a silver or a refractor PSA 10. And

5:00

5 minutes

I think that that's a really it's a quite a high starting point. And so, you know, you can make the obvious

5:09

5 minutes, 9 seconds

statement to say, well, actually, you know, that's going to dip down over the next 12 months. But the way he's been playing in the finals, I think he's

5:18

5 minutes, 18 seconds

played really, really well. Stepping in for Fox when he was injured, you can see the potential on him. And also too,

5:26

5 minutes, 26 seconds

I think he's going to grow into his body a lot more. I don't think physically he's a finished product yet. I think he's very strong, but I think he's going to get stronger. So, I I actually don't

5:35

5 minutes, 35 seconds

mind this one at all. I I think there's a little bit of risk buying into it, but at the same time,

5:43

5 minutes, 43 seconds

yeah, not terrible. I think the only thing that does make me pause a little bit about it is I think so much hobby love is is going to go to Wemby on the

5:51

5 minutes, 51 seconds

Spurs. And I think that will potentially make him to be overlooked. But the other way you could look at that, too, is you can say, well, heaps of people want to

5:58

5 minutes, 58 seconds

be watching WBY and then more eyes will go on to Harper for that one. But yeah, it's um Wemb is just such an

6:08

6 minutes, 8 seconds

absolute goat out there. All righty, this next one here is Cooper Flag. So, if I can get my screen right here, Cooper Flag last sold for 1,500 bucks.

6:19

6 minutes, 19 seconds

If we look in the alltime graph here, uh at his absolute peak, he sold for 3,380.

6:31

6 minutes, 31 seconds

If we just shorten down the time frame here, the last 3 months he's actually down and he is down a lot. He's down 46%.

6:39

6 minutes, 39 seconds

And so that actually really surprises me. I I clearly haven't been keeping check of

6:47

6 minutes, 47 seconds

the Koopa flag prices as much as I thought I had been.

6:53

6 minutes, 53 seconds

He is a fascinating one for me because the population on this is is really low.

7:00

7 minutes

And so I actually see the value in $1,500. I think what my concern is, and I have said this before, so I won't go over this too much, is that with the PSA backlog, they're reporting at 6 months.

7:12

7 minutes, 12 seconds

I think you can easily roll that out to 9 months. And I had a I can't even say his name, I'm sure he won't mind. Joe

7:19

7 minutes, 19 seconds

food was in my group chat tonight saying that essentially his submission took 12 months to return. So,

7:29

7 minutes, 29 seconds

I I personally think 9 to 12 months is about where we're at currently when it comes to PSA. And so, that's my huge

7:37

7 minutes, 37 seconds

concern with Cooper is that there's going to be a heap more of these coming out. They they all have to be sitting there in the backlog. And how's that going to influence his price,

7:46

7 minutes, 46 seconds

particularly when the next rookie class comes in and all that sort of hobby love comes off that rookie class that we normally do get?

7:53

7 minutes, 53 seconds

So, I actually think there's it's going to be a buying opportunity though. Like, if

8:00

8 minutes

he dips down to say 800, 700, you know, dare I say it, even down to 650, you just have to buy it. And, you know, the easy example on that was We Wy.

8:10

8 minutes, 10 seconds

Like, WBY was down heaps, like absolutely heaps.

8:18

8 minutes, 18 seconds

And if you bought into him at that low price, you know, you're absolutely laughing now.

8:36

8 minutes, 36 seconds

All right. So, this is Wambi. The last two years he dipped all the way down to 600 bucks.

8:47

8 minutes, 47 seconds

So you might say I'm being dramatic saying the Kooper flag is going to go down to 600. Like here's an example of Wambi right here.

8:55

8 minutes, 55 seconds

600s, 700s, 800s for a good 12-month period. And then you can see here him spiking all the way up.

9:05

9 minutes, 5 seconds

Last thing on Wemby before we move on, he's currently trading at 3,300. So huge dolls on that. Conanul is the next one here from the all rookie first team.

9:14

9 minutes, 14 seconds

We have spoken about Con a lot on the show, so again, I'm not going to go through this a lot. He peaked at 1,876.

9:22

9 minutes, 22 seconds

My take on this was that's absolutely insane. Sell it as quick as can. He is now trading at 450, which is very, very

9:29

9 minutes, 29 seconds

comparable to Dylan Harper. I think at 450, if you're comparing these one for one, the Conanopol is the way to go all day

9:38

9 minutes, 38 seconds

long term or at least in the next two to three years. I think in the ultra short term, Dylan Harper could be the right one to go, particularly if the Spurs get

9:47

9 minutes, 47 seconds

to the finals, even though that is not looking to be the case at the moment.

9:55

9 minutes, 55 seconds

Uh, we got a question in the chat. This is from Bill Myac. Does Card have a pop count

10:03

10 minutes, 3 seconds

over time graph? I don't believe that they do, mate. That would be a really cool piece of data, wouldn't it?

10:18

10 minutes, 18 seconds

I can reach out to my buddy Ryan and ask him.

10:25

10 minutes, 25 seconds

He would probably know where to pull that piece of data from because truthfully, I don't know, mate.

10:50

10 minutes, 50 seconds

be interesting to see the correlation in price movement to pop count. Yeah, 100% Phil. That would be

10:57

10 minutes, 57 seconds

Yeah, really handy, wouldn't it? I'm not too sure how that would influence my purchasing, though. I think that that would be cool to see.

11:07

11 minutes, 7 seconds

I think the total pop is probably the more important part.

11:11

11 minutes, 11 seconds

And when you click on the little book, the booklet up here, that takes you to the next screen and that will then tell you the total population of the card.

11:27

11 minutes, 27 seconds

All righty, moving on. We got VJ Edgecomb here. I've been on the record.

11:32

11 minutes, 32 seconds

I love VJ Edgecomb. I think that if you're looking at this rookie class, for me it's Ace Bailey and VJ Edgecomb, if

11:40

11 minutes, 40 seconds

you're hunting around the edges, if you want to pick up something for some value, that's my personal preference.

11:46

11 minutes, 46 seconds

Um, very interesting on the pricing though. So, this last sold for $410 for the refractor PSA 10. I think I said

11:54

11 minutes, 54 seconds

it right for once instead of saying silver PSA 10.

11:59

11 minutes, 59 seconds

Uh, this sold last sold for $410. So that is almost directly comparable to the Harper and also the Conanuple at the

12:06

12 minutes, 6 seconds

moment. So probably again if I'm going to be buying all three of these at the same price, I think the Conanuple is the

12:12

12 minutes, 12 seconds

way to go. Particularly where we've already seen him spike up as high as he did. I think that that those high spikes

12:20

12 minutes, 20 seconds

that players have that does hold longterm. So, if there is going to be a future spike again, you

12:28

12 minutes, 28 seconds

can use that almost as a point as a point of reference that you would potentially see them get back up to. Um, the last one here is the Cedric Coward

12:37

12 minutes, 37 seconds

Refractor PSA 10. That last sold for 125. I personally think the pricing on that is just right. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that pricing or I

12:45

12 minutes, 45 seconds

don't think it's too high. I don't think it's too low. I think for the the way that that kid plays, I don't think he's particularly a spectacular player. He's

12:53

12 minutes, 53 seconds

not a guy that's going to be in the highlights.

12:57

12 minutes, 57 seconds

125 is about right. Do I think it's a bad buy or a good buy? I I just think it's it's fine. You know, if you pick one up for 125 USD, totally fine.

13:15

13 minutes, 15 seconds

All righty. Next up, we have got SGA.

13:20

13 minutes, 20 seconds

Congratulations to him winning back-to back MVPs. Huge, huge achievement on that.

13:28

13 minutes, 28 seconds

Personally, I would have liked to see someone else get the award this year. I I think he was on the best team and I think that matters a lot, but at the

13:36

13 minutes, 36 seconds

same time, I think Yoki this year was just an absolute man on a mission. I genuinely think he played harder than

13:43

13 minutes, 43 seconds

I've ever seen him played ever. I think he was playing as hard as he would play in the playoffs and the finals as he did in the regular season.

13:51

13 minutes, 51 seconds

So, I'm a little bit surprised by this.

13:56

13 minutes, 56 seconds

Also, too, the total number of minutes played SJ rested a lot this rested is not the

14:04

14 minutes, 4 seconds

right thing to say. They sat him when they could, which was a lot. And they they won a lot of games this year. And so, I think the Thunder are smart.

14:12

14 minutes, 12 seconds

They're a good organization. They're looking after their players. I don't have a problem with it, but that just influences my if I had a vote, I would

14:20

14 minutes, 20 seconds

have voted for Yo-kick. I think that's the best way to say it.

14:24

14 minutes, 24 seconds

I think and this is a separate segment alto together. I think we can start to do a a direct comparison to SGA to the

14:30

14 minutes, 30 seconds

all-time greats now. So, two MVPs, a ring, most likely going to get a second ring this year. Again,

14:39

14 minutes, 39 seconds

you know, I think I've made a lot of bad calls over the years, and I think my worst call probably ever was saying to

14:48

14 minutes, 48 seconds

sell SGA when I said to sell him or don't buy cuz it was too high or whatever I said. What I should have been saying was buy as much as you can.

15:00

15 minutes

Yeah, frankly, it was it was a silly silly call. But here we are.

15:06

15 minutes, 6 seconds

I think what we should do though is we should talk about his cards. He deserves us to talk about

15:13

15 minutes, 13 seconds

his cards for 10 minutes. He's currently trading at 3,100, which is actually interesting cuz that's about the same price as a Weby. So, I would go SGA all day over WBY.

15:29

15 minutes, 29 seconds

The last three months he's up 100%. Man, that is crazy, isn't it?

15:36

15 minutes, 36 seconds

like just insane spikes at that much.

15:47

15 minutes, 47 seconds

So you can get a ruby wave for 950 with a population of 103

15:57

15 minutes, 57 seconds

and ar I mean it's not a total color match but there is some red I mean, the pop on this is not crazy, though. Is it 721?

16:14

16 minutes, 14 seconds

I mean, I like that the red number to 299 that last sold for 3,000

16:22

16 minutes, 22 seconds

bucks. I think that's a much much safer purchase.

16:27

16 minutes, 27 seconds

And it's not that far away from the silver price. I mean, technically it's cheaper.

16:34

16 minutes, 34 seconds

I mean, that that's a much better purchase. The red to to 299, PSA 10, population 55, 2,999 bucks. Great buy.

16:48

16 minutes, 48 seconds

I think in that case, the silver is definitely overpriced. Now, I'm I'm This is probably going to blow up my face again, but um yeah. Anyway, SGA, congratulations.

17:00

17 minutes

If you're holding SGA, if you're using the silver

17:08

17 minutes, 8 seconds

price chart as a guide to sell, I mean, you have to at least be thinking about it, don't you? Up 125% over 12 months,

17:17

17 minutes, 17 seconds

up 400% over 2 years, up 6,000%.

17:23

17 minutes, 23 seconds

all time and starting price $46.

17:31

17 minutes, 31 seconds

Unbelievable.

17:33

17 minutes, 33 seconds

All righty. Up next, we have just got some random fleer sale. 1986 Jeff Malone

17:41

17 minutes, 41 seconds

PSA 10 sold for $40,000. This is from our friends at Card Letter.

17:54

17 minutes, 54 seconds

some of the previous sales here. This is about a,000 bucks here, about two here,

18:00

18 minutes

4,000 here, 10,000 here, up to 38,000 here, all the way down here,

18:08

18 minutes, 8 seconds

and then spiking all the way back up again to $40,000.

18:12

18 minutes, 12 seconds

Look, I might even piggy bank piggy bank this off a listener question actually.

18:21

18 minutes, 21 seconds

So, listener question um from Tik Tok.

18:24

18 minutes, 24 seconds

Rasmo31, what's up, man? Thank you so much for all your messages.

18:28

18 minutes, 28 seconds

I really appreciate getting your messages and love replying to them. What are your thoughts on lower-end cards become something special? Just a thought

18:37

18 minutes, 37 seconds

as there has to be some hidden gems which haven't been talked about. Thanks for your info. Really appreciate it. I appreciate you too, man. Thank you very

18:45

18 minutes, 45 seconds

much. All right. Here's an example of that where it's a nothing card. It's a fantastic set. Obviously, don't get me

18:52

18 minutes, 52 seconds

wrong. That's an absolute classic iconic set, but we're talking about Jeff Malone. The obvious thing that's tough about this card is PSA 10, so you're not

19:00

19 minutes

going to pick them up, you know, really easily. I do wonder though longterm if there's a play just to buy any

19:08

19 minutes, 8 seconds

graded PSA card from 86 Fleer and then just put it away where it will just go up over

19:16

19 minutes, 16 seconds

time and then set collectors who are buying PSA 7s will be chasing them who are buying PSA 8s will go out and buy

19:23

19 minutes, 23 seconds

them PSA 9s I've got one in my own collection I'll need to have a look at the grade and also the grading company but I don't remember paying a lot of money for it.

19:35

19 minutes, 35 seconds

It might have only been like a hundred bucks or something. So yeah, that's my first answer to you. My second answer to

19:42

19 minutes, 42 seconds

you is actually a little bit more curated and it's it comes in two parts. All right. So, I think if you want to buy

19:52

19 minutes, 52 seconds

something that is cheap and has long-term potential to go up, and you have to be playing the long-term game on this, you have to look at

20:01

20 minutes, 1 second

either the star players. So, Jordans's, Kobe's, LeBron James,

20:07

20 minutes, 7 seconds

Nicole Yokic, SGA, on and on. Or you're gambling on, for example, the all rookie

20:13

20 minutes, 13 seconds

team. So, VJ Edgecomb, Cedric Coward, Ace Bailey, Dylan Harper, hoping that

20:20

20 minutes, 20 seconds

they then pop out into something else and then you're buying inserts. Okay, so hear me out. Personal preference on this, so I'm incredibly biased in this.

20:29

20 minutes, 29 seconds

I just love these cards. I just love the aesthetics.

20:33

20 minutes, 33 seconds

I love how it's a fun set. It's tapping into NBA Jam, all that stuff. I've been on the record about this. So, yeah, no hidden secret on this. But check this out. This beautiful card here, PSA 10.

20:46

20 minutes, 46 seconds

Beautiful looking card that sold for $56.

20:52

20 minutes, 52 seconds

Buy that long-term. Put that away. Hope that they someday spike just like all the other Jordans have done at some

20:59

20 minutes, 59 seconds

point. This one here, the green, $31 for a PSA 10. This one here, numbered $2.99.

21:09

21 minutes, 9 seconds

I can't believe this one. This is probably my favorite out of all of them.

21:13

21 minutes, 13 seconds

Reactive yellow numbered to 99 that sold for 180 bucks. Like just fantastic value. The other way you could play this

21:22

21 minutes, 22 seconds

game too is to buy nonPSA 10s but just buy the numbered ones. So this is numbered to 175 that's

21:30

21 minutes, 30 seconds

sold for 55 USD. So yeah, Rasmo again thank you so much for your question.

21:36

21 minutes, 36 seconds

That is my answer to you. Look at inserts of either established stars in PSA 10 or numbered raw

21:46

21 minutes, 46 seconds

and or look at prospects who you think are going to be huge in the future.

21:59

21 minutes, 59 seconds

All righty, we are going to go back to the start of the show and we're going to go back to Adam Gray and again I want to talk about this in the future. So, this

22:08

22 minutes, 8 seconds

is really just for me getting my head around it. These are the 2026 sales of

22:15

22 minutes, 15 seconds

all cards that have sold for more than a million dollars. And there is a lot. The Pokémon Illustrator for 16.5 million. We

22:22

22 minutes, 22 seconds

got Honest Wagner. There was two of those. One for 5.1, one for 3.6.

22:30

22 minutes, 30 seconds

We've got the Otani. I think that's Mike Judge dual patch, dual autograph for 2.1.

22:38

22 minutes, 38 seconds

But what I'm going to do is I'm going to read them all out, but I'm going to go through the bus ones and give them a rating. The Jordan came in at 2.1. This

22:45

22 minutes, 45 seconds

is from 1997 Ultra, the Masterpiece, one of one PSA 8.

22:52

22 minutes, 52 seconds

Look, actually, honestly, of all the basketball cards that are in this list, I like this one the least.

22:59

22 minutes, 59 seconds

But at the same time, I actually think I've got no problems with the price. I think that the way that Jordans are spiking at the moment, and I think the

23:07

23 minutes, 7 seconds

long-term potential for large investment firms and really big collectors to be wanting to put them into their collection, it's a one of one. There's

23:16

23 minutes, 16 seconds

not that many Jordan oneof ones out there. Yep. Fantastic.

23:22

23 minutes, 22 seconds

Japanese promo Pikachu trainer 1.7 million. Babe Ruth for 1.4. Another Babe Ruth for 1.4.

23:31

23 minutes, 31 seconds

Another illustrator for 1.4 million.

23:35

23 minutes, 35 seconds

An NFL card. I have no idea what that is. For 1.3 million. All right, here we go. Getting into more basketball now.

23:40

23 minutes, 40 seconds

1.2 million. LeBron James, one of one with the autograph. We spoke about this at the start of the show today. I've got no problems with this at all. I think it's a fantastic card.

23:51

23 minutes, 51 seconds

Beautiful finish, sleek design.

23:55

23 minutes, 55 seconds

Finally, we've got LeBron autographs back into products again. The one of one. There's just not that many one-of-one LeBrons out there. Super

24:02

24 minutes, 2 seconds

super collectible. Charizard for 1.2 million. And this is my number one of all the cards on this list. Again, super

24:11

24 minutes, 11 seconds

biased here. 2003 Tops Chrome LeBron James Gold Refractor for 1.1 million. I think longterm this is going to look

24:19

24 minutes, 19 seconds

like an absolute stupid bargain moving into the future. I love this card so much.

24:29

24 minutes, 29 seconds

In an alternative world, I would love to be dabbling in these type of cards. Just sick, beautiful card. All righty. 20

24:45

24 minutes, 45 seconds

2024 National Treasures Steph Curry logo and autograph one of one that sold for $1,40,000.

24:52

24 minutes, 52 seconds

I'm not that super keen on this particular card in itself because it's great. It's a logoman and card.

25:00

25 minutes

It's got an autograph. It's Steph on it.

25:02

25 minutes, 2 seconds

Perfect grade. All of that. I get all of that. But then when you're directly comping that to a LeBron rookie card, I would much rather have a LeBron rookie

25:11

25 minutes, 11 seconds

card in my hand for PSA 10. The only thing I want to say about this LeBron card, sorry, this Steph Curry card

25:19

25 minutes, 19 seconds

is I really think Steph is now putting himself onto the map. And I think this is again another example of Steph

25:26

25 minutes, 26 seconds

becoming a huge player in the hobby when it comes to his pricing. And so I think this is

25:34

25 minutes, 34 seconds

really a stepping stone. I think we need to look at this and say, "Okay, this is happening now, but what is going to happen next with all those really big

25:42

25 minutes, 42 seconds

Steph Curry cards, including his ultra high-end rookie stuff?" That's what I'm really interested to watch over the next 5 to 10 years. We've already seen this

25:51

25 minutes, 51 seconds

year, and it was just a single sale, but a Steph Curry card outsold a LeBron rookie card for the exact same grade. We spoke about that on a previous episode.

26:03

26 minutes, 3 seconds

Yeah, I think this is something we just absolutely need to keep our eye on. And the last one we've got here is

26:14

26 minutes, 14 seconds

I like this one a lot. I would give this a 10 out of 10 personally. 2015 Panini iMac collection Nola Yokoic logo and patch one of one PSA 8 autograph 10.

26:27

26 minutes, 27 seconds

Finally, we've got a Yoki card that gets to a million dollars. I think he's been criminally underrated and undervalued

26:35

26 minutes, 35 seconds

for a very long time. So, I'm just finally glad that he got to that price point for me.

26:42

26 minutes, 42 seconds

A+ on that one. All righty, guys. Last two cards and we are going to finish off today's show. Thank you everyone for tuning in today. Really appreciate it.

26:52

26 minutes, 52 seconds

Which card would you rather? This 2024 Donas Optic SGA Downtown Gold Vinyl.

27:00

27 minutes

sold for $168,000 or the 2024 Don Russ Optic WBY Downtown Gold Vinyl one of one.

27:10

27 minutes, 10 seconds

I would personally go for the SGA.

27:12

27 minutes, 12 seconds

I think that could look terrible longterm because WBY could just explode to be an absolute star. But I think in

27:19

27 minutes, 19 seconds

terms of regime assurityity, you have to go with SGA.

27:26

27 minutes, 26 seconds

For injury risk prevention, I'm going with SGA. Every single time I watch WMY play basketball, I'm just scared he's going to get injured. I never really

27:34

27 minutes, 34 seconds

feel like that with SGA, though. I think he's a little bit more robust.

27:40

27 minutes, 40 seconds

That might be the worst reason to not buy somebody, but that's just how I feel every single time I watch this dude play basketball.

27:48

27 minutes, 48 seconds

And the lucky last card of today's show is a Kobe Bryant. Let's go out with a Kobe and a red PMG. 1997 Metal Universe

27:57

27 minutes, 57 seconds

Kobe Bryant Precious Metal Gems. Pop four on this. It sold for $432,000.

28:08

28 minutes, 8 seconds

Look, I think we all know how crazy these get up to and how much they sell for. I don't really think I need to say

28:15

28 minutes, 15 seconds

too much more than this. I think for me the only commentary I need to add on this is just incredible to me even at the low grades how much these go for.

28:25

28 minutes, 25 seconds

It really is because if can you imagine what they would go for in PSA 10?

28:32

28 minutes, 32 seconds

Like it's just absolutely nuts.

28:57

28 minutes, 57 seconds

So, according to Card Ladder, the highest grade is BGS9, and that sold for

29:04

29 minutes, 4 seconds

$216,000 in October of 21.

29:11

29 minutes, 11 seconds

So, yeah, what is that? A million. A million and a half now.

29:25

29 minutes, 25 seconds

Yeah. Wild wild world wild card. Thank you everybody for tuning in and listening this week. We'll be back with another interview very shortly.

29:41

29 minutes, 41 seconds

I had Coman on from GTI International and it was a fantastic interview. So, if you want to listen to some hobby talk, go back one episode, tune into that.

29:53

29 minutes, 53 seconds

Have an awesome day, guys. Take care of yourselves and we'll catch you for the next one. I'm out. Bye-bye.
