..... when there is someone who decides to collect your PC player that is richer than you??
I have been collecting Kawhi Leonard for a few months now and am making pretty goor progress with it. I have picked up around 5-6 cards that are numbered /10 or less over the last month, as well as a couple of 1/1's and some other nice stuff. Then, I notice the holy grail of Kawhi cards pop up on eBay... The Gold Prizm Jersey #ed 2/10. It started at $599 BIN but someone bid pretty quick so the BIN was no longer available.
I spoke with the seller on the side and he offered it to me for $550 but i just couldn't do it. I would rather a non jersey #ed one for $200 when the hype dies down.
I still kept an eye on it to see its ending price and it ended at........ $709
I looked to see who the winner was and there was discussion as to whether this was legit.
The next day, 2 more cards I was watching were ending, both /10 and were sitting at around $60 each. They both ended for around $160 because this same rich guy won both cards and clearly doesn't care what the cost is!
This morning... again, a card /25 ended for $153 to the same guy!
I guess I just have to resign myself to the fact that I will only ever own cards that this guy already has from now on! I do pretty well as far as ability to buy some nice cards, but I know my limits and won't pay stupid high amounts because I need to outbid a crazy bidder! lol
Now, I in no way 'hate' this guy, because this is the way life is, but I kinda wish he was a Kyrie collector or something! lol
