This episode becomes even more interesting with this morning's (4.30.24) announcement from Topps that they will be releasing multiple basketball sets this summer all with Victor Wembanyama autos and even RPAs.
Great content, guys, but is Philimington on a load-management contract or something? :) miss the guy on the videos! Still rooting for @baseballcardaddict to upgrade his audio!! Keep up the great work, fellas!
@@SpitballinCards Yes, Scott needs to triple your salary or just pony up for a great new mic. :))) You add great input, keep it up. Glad to hear Philmington is coming off his load-management time away. :)
We can definitely talk about fantasy a little more going forward. Jeff and I talk about it a lot on our weekly TH-cam live, every Thursday at 6PT. BLABBIN’ ‘BOUT SLABBIN’ Thanks for watching!
Do y’all think blue refractors are the next best thing after gold? I was looking at Austin Riley’s topps chrome update cards. His situation seems similar to Soto where his flagship image is in Chrome Update and not Chrome. Hard to imagine his prices ever coming remotely close to Soto’s, but he does seem undervalued. I was thinking about picking up the Blue and Xfractor. Not trying to dump money into an Orange or gold for Riley. If his horizontal SSP surfaced more, I’d settle on it. Any thoughts?
Chris here - I do love that horizontal SSP. Riley’s chrome update refractors are great cards - and yes I agree he’s undervalued but that doesn’t mean his stuff is due to jump! (I’ve learned that the hard way) But ok, yeah I like the update blue refractor. Color is nice and bold and it has the flagship image. Nice card. Probably better buy than the green. One thing to note - if you’re looking at his topps chrome rookie autos, stay away From the update autos. Stickers are no good. Good luck and please let me know what you find and go for!
@@SpitballinCards I will so far I pulled the trigger on a blue. I think I’m going to find an xfractor and maybe a green as a hedge. I completely agree that just because he’s undervalued, doesn’t mean he’s a good buy. I think for a lot of people he just doesn’t move the needle.
Thank you for the video. Do you guys get any “Shaq” vibes for sport card burn out? I’m 48, and recall the shaq blowup to the hobby well. Obviously not baseball, but when Shaq enters the league his popularity poured into all areas of collecting. A lot of non collectors, cashing in. There was a huge push to get SO much product out. Wemby mania is insane, his potential value is already baked into the price. Huge bubble coming, and like Shaq, it won’t matter how dominant wemby could be. “Ok” heritage video. The centering on this set is going to be huge, for true mint cards. The backs are tough. Thanks again guys, you’re great.
Chris here - I remember very well the 1991 Classic Shaq card! Dunking in his LSU garb. That card was EVERYWHERE! Imagine if there was a gold parallel of that card #/50. You think it would hold value today?
@@SpitballinCards The market indicators are very similar to Shaq, and what that brought about for collecting in general….except for 1 massive variable that doesn’t compare to contemporary objects. Wemby is HUGE in Asian markets. Predictive models are tough with new, foreign markets. Look at the upstart TH-cam Asian channels doing breaks, just to film a wemby reveal. The profit potential in all sports for “shredders”, in markets that have billions of people might not be fully realized or understood. Anyways, interesting topic. I’m really happy finding this channel, you guys are great.
@@christopherbuettner4979 that is interesting, yeah. Thanks for watching, we appreciate the comments. I think I saw something about a collector in Asia sitting on like $400k in Wemby cards. Scary.
What cards of Paul Goldschmitt are more valueable then his Red Refractor Auto /5 bowman chrome 1st?, I Feel the Red Refractor Auto /5 1st is a players 2nd best card. imo.
@@SpitballinCards I agree.. Congrats on that 👏 Red /5 Auto of Goldy. I love the old school bowman chrome 1st stamp.. Look up timmy golds. Been selling for bank 🏦. It's a highly competitive market
This is why the hobby is no longer about substance. It's becone sadly about gimmicks. From Tacofactor to Brady photoshopped images to Wemby baseball cards 😂, it just never stops
Chris here - what I like to do is completely avoid these gimmicks and see what might be getting ignored that shouldn’t. This wemby situation is weird though.
Just a way to grab some attention. No way would I ever pay that much, even if I had millions in disposable income. Was this Topps only way to get him on a card/autographed?
Yes! He signed an exclusive auto deal with fanatics. Panini has the licenses but won’t have his autos. So No autos for him in NBA sets until like 2026. Weird time for some of these players and cards. Thanks for watching!
If fake cards are discovered in their slabs, PSA will buy them back at market value (if the real card). That guarantee is only offered by PSA. Chris here, that guarantee is nice piece of mind to have.

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Definitely! Non-licensed cards are pretty divisive, are you interested in Topps Chrome basketball with no team names or logos?
That would have been fun to watch Scott win that card with you guys watching.
It was fun! Tpot and I cheering him on and helping spend his money!
Thank you guys for doing this stream. It is becoming my favorite one to listen to every week.
Thanks for watching!
We really appreciate the support!
🍻🍻
Astros and Wemby talk! Best episode ever 😀
Trash can talk 😂
Haha - we’ve got to hit each fan base!
Thanks for watching
Great stuff guys... keep it going ... you all are splendid for the hobby.
Appreciate it!
Thanks, man! Much appreciated!!
🍻

Chris here - I’ll talk to Scott about giving me a raise!
Phil will be back next week
Thanks for watching!

Well done 🎉
🍻🍻
Thanks for watching!
I too am a Stadium Club collector. Their images are just amazing. Also I collect image variations too.
Chris here - glad to hear it! Do you have an IG for your collection? What are some of your favorites?
@@SpitballinCards my favorite is Aaron Judge Field of Dreams. Loved the movie and the card looks great. I got that one from opening a pack.
Glad you got the Goldy Scott. I was shocked to see the card pop up on eBay. I had a feeling you were gonna end up with it. Congrats!
Chris here - it was fun to watch him sweat out the bidding. Maybe next time one of us can bid during the show!
It’s sick that the jersey was an ebbets field flannels New York black Yankees jersey though. Ebbets is an awesome company.
Thanks for watching!
Can you imagine what Wemby’s strike zone would look like 😂
😂
😂😂
He’d have no chance
Sometimes those bald eagles cost you $130 🦅
Right?!?! Stupid majestic birds.
Thanks for watching!
Y'all should do a fantasy baseball podcast.
We can definitely talk about fantasy a little more going forward.
Jeff and I talk about it a lot on our weekly TH-cam live, every Thursday at 6PT.

Yes! Chris and I are fantasy geeks, and mention it often, so please check out our show sometime if you feel so inclined.

@@SpitballinCards I bought a gold refractor for Yordan Alvarez. Thanks for your help with that too
@@Bravetrain13 Blue Riley and gold Yordan - sound like good buys to me!
What a steal on that red BCA Goldy!
Yes! Goldschmidt’s awful slow start definitely paid off for Scott!
Thanks for watching!
I’d love to have that Alaskan memory.
Thanks! It was special. Though I do still kid my buddy about those damn majestic birds costing me a baseball card.
Oddly, I haven’t been invited back…
@@SpitballinCardshahahahaha

Expect a lebron james next year, now that fanatics has lebron's rights
Good point and probably dead on!
