Sixth Man Slabs

Just a small-time role-player, showing the hobby daily. Slab by slab. Come collect with me. #TheHobby

@JoshEberley People won’t realize it. It is and will remain one of the most liquid and desirable cards in the hobby. Markets reinforce themselves. It has already survived massive grading booms/pop surge.

@Bhen8 A few years ago isn’t bad.

If you sold any Wemby’s a few weeks ago, they’ve probably already tripled.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

Cavs were heavy dogs against the Spurs, who had 3 HOFers in their prime, and one of (if not the) greatest coaches of all-time in Popovich.

Larry Hughes, the Cavs’ 2nd leading scorer during the season, made just 1 basket in the Finals (on 10% shooting from the field.)

Robert Horry of the Spurs said they only had to guard LeBron, and noted that the Cavs’ head coach Mike Brown (former Spurs assistant coach) was just running the same sets as in San Antonio, which made scouting and defensive rotations remarkably easy.

“This is Wemby’s 2007”

LeBron didn’t have a supporting cast anywhere close to this lmao

[moose #protanking @roadto80pct]

larry hughes was the cavs 2nd leading scorer that season and he made 1 shot in the finals lol (went 1/10)

Wemby didn’t like Jose Alvarado boxing him out 😂

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

For 10 bands I better be able to draw up one play out of a timeout.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

BREAKING: The get-in price for Game 3 of the NBA Finals is now $9,365, shattering the all-time record. What in the world. (Ticket prices via @TickPick)

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@IIIII23IIIIII @TheHoopsAlerts @BrettSiegelNBA There is no downside if you’re Curry.

Curry fans =\= LeBron fans.

If they lose, Bron fault. If they win, it’s “Steph’s team.”

KD-esque.

Steph should try to make this happen.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@CardsMax Because this is his absolute peak. Who wants to buy the top? There are no MVPs in his future.

Wemby is in the finals. He has many more DPOY and MVPs in his future.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

Lebron would’ve taken this team to the Finals

[Breiden Fehoko @BreidenFehoko]

“Melo couldn’t win anything” well look who was on that mf roster man.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

Reminder, if anyone has any LeBron slabs in a PSA 10 that you will send to my door for <$30, I’m always a buyer.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@Sir_BeefWelly @gurucollects Lame ahhh bucket. But are people really worried about the bucket the popcorn comes in? Lol

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@BiggzyRips Carving out your own lane.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

Sports are already more resilient. They continuously regenerate emotional stakes (championships, rivalries, records, iconic moments, etc.)

Sports fandom is enduring.

What is the engine that will drive and keep Pokemon above sports forever? Nostalgia cycles are strong, but not permanent.

@aceofcards89 @JohnErickson107 There’s no way it’s this high. I don’t even know if 1 of every 20 pieces of mail I get is cards, and I order a decent amount. Lots of junk in the mix, My guess is a fraction of a percent.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@Sir_BeefWelly Keeping with rocket theme

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@FairyCardBrther @CardPurchaser Banger

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

@FairyCardBrther @CardPurchaser Definite upside in grading the Maye, and it’s true that markets reinforce themselves, so Maye being declared a good investment last season should prevent floor from falling out on the card this year, but will need him to come out firing for it to spike — tough choice.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

I am aware I have been conditioned and am perpetuating the near-monopoly PSA has on grading.

Trust me, I wish I could gleefully buy SGC slabs.

[Sixth Man Slabs @SixthManSlabs]

When I see a card for sale in a slab that isn’t PSA
