I'm not comparing Jordan to Lebron and vise versa, but what is it with people comparing players from different eras?
Why does a Ferrari from today sell for more than one from 15 or 20 years ago? Maybe more fans and collectors of Ferrari in the year 2012?
You gotta like to collect a particular player in order to wanna buy a card. Doesn't mean because card X sold for this much, now card Y MUST sell for the sale or much higher. It get doesn't work that way. Not attacking you or anything, just saying.
I see people all the time saying, oh wow look what this sold for, that must mean 90's inserts will go up now, and SHOULD/MUST be worth more!!! Who said people today like to collect Toni Kukoc, or Luc Longly, and yes, even Jordan. Sure people today hear on a daily basis how great Jordan is.............. but i've heard how great Babe Ruth was, and how great Bill Russell was, and how great Bruce Lee was(haha), but do I go out of my way to collect them? No.
You gotta like a particular player on the card in order to want to collect him, imo.
There are way more NBA fans today then there was 10, 15 and 20 years ago.... also many people from back then are long out of the hobby, we didn't have forums back then so we couldn't meet people who loved to do the same thing as us, so people tend to leave something when they don't have friends that do the same stuff. Me, I stayed collecting, but is that really the case for most people?
Then you thrown in all the great martketing the NBA has done in recent years bringing the NBA WORLDWIDE!!! It's bigger than ever before. Then you add all these forums where we can meet people and stay in touch talking cards and all that good stuff...... and BAM!!! you have life long collectors, or people who take breaks knowing they could come back later and most their buddieis, if not all, will still be there to chat with about the hobby they love.
So yeah, you can't compare something from today, with something a million years ago, of a different player, no matter how good that playe was. Better player doesn't mean more collectors. Just think about it.
Also, these are not re-makes of the real thing. These ARE PMG's of Lebron, and other players who never had one. So now 20 years from now when they make a PMG of Dicky Wilson... what, it's going to be a reprint or something? No, it will be a PMG of that player. If you can say this for this set, you can say it for any set out there.
Guys.... this guy is the biggest hypocrite and loser the hobby has ever known. He is on Blowout Cards as SportsItUpCards and has been banned from multiple forums. He is known to make many fake ID's and pose as someone else.
Stay away and take ANYTHING he says with a grain of salt. He has absolutely no credibility and has no idea what he's talking about.
