The Exploding Card Market

Let's take this opportunity to give credit to the sexiest man alive according to Guardian. Fauci? Imagine a lot of girls lighting up looking to fuck that guy. Hilarious. So, I don't know if you, you know, the picture, did you see his pose? Yeah, hilarious. This is what you think about that. I mean... Well, how the fuck does he have time to do that? Aren't you trying to protect us from the evil coronavirus? When you're that sexy, bro, when you're that sexy. I guess you just take a couple seconds to take a photo. I wanted to give you a gift. I wanted to give you a gift. Oh, you gave me a gift? I figured if you, you know, if you're a guy... If you give me a Fauci doll, I already have one. No, no, no, I'm not gonna give you a Fauci doll. I'm gonna give you something a little more than a Fauci doll, you know, because... A Fauci doll. I have a doll. Because of what he just did. I got you a Tony Fauci's tops rookie card, PSA 10. He's got our rookie card. This is something I think you should keep for... Is this real? Yeah, I mean, Bobby, we just probably increased the value by five times right now just by talking about it. This is real. That's actually a card for Fauci and... You see that? Can you see that card, Gene? He's throwing a pitch. He's throwing a pitch. Did you see his pitch? I would imagine it was atrocious. You gotta see the pitch. I don't know if you can show it. You cannot, right? You can't show it right now. Who had the worst pitch ever? Well, that's very arguable, but... Judd Apatow? Judd Apatow had a bad one. 50 Cent or... 50 Cent had a bad one? 50 Cent. Gary Delbaut? Gary Delbaut? I had a bad one. Oh, Bababooey. Yeah. Oh, well. Anyway, I thought you would appreciate that. He's 80. He's 80. It's a sexy guy right there. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. That's a great gift. By the way, you know how much that's worth today? It's probably worth 50 bucks. It's worth a couple hundred dollars. Really? That's the point that a Fauci baseball card is worth a couple hundred dollars. But I think it just went up after it became sexy. Well, the sexiest man in America. The sexiest, right? Wow. Yeah. Whoa, it's worth a thousand dollars. All right, it just went up a little bit. Holy shit. It's just on eBay. Good luck. Well, that's what someone's... Correct. Asking. But there's not a lot of them, so... Yeah, no, no. Thank you very much. Today, his street credit for his baseball card just went up with Fauci. But we'll see what's going to happen there. Yeah. Who the fuck is collecting cards? Oh, dude, are you kidding me? Do you know there's a UFC... I have a UFC card that's worth money? I have Max Holloway's rookie card. How much is it worth? I haven't looked, but... I mean, the card game has exploded in the last few years. Are you following it at all or no? No, I don't have time for that shit. Wait, you're not following at all what's going on with the card game? No. Okay, can I shock you with some numbers if that's okay with you? Please. Okay, what do you think is the value of the most expensive card in the world today? Just throw a number out. Does Babe Ruth have a card? Babe Ruth's got a card, but it's not the most expensive. Really? Jackie Robinson? He's got a card, but it's probably not in the top 1,000 of the most expensive. Oh, boy. Yeah. I'm going to guess this. Mickey Mantle has a card. Okay, Mickey Mantle. Okay. How much is that? Is that number one? His PSA 10 1952 Topps rookie card. There's only three of them. Let me guess. Please. 20 million bucks. 20 million bucks. Really? That's actually the number. Really? So you do follow cards. No, I just said yes. That's like the, you're on the dot, it's 20 million bucks. I'm good at that. The guy who bought it in 1998, the owner of the Diamondbacks paid $104 for it in 1998. Whoa. From $104 to $20K today. That's a big jump. A Luca Ricci card, two days after his birthday at 22 years old sold for 5.2 million. That's a basketball player, Joe. Yeah. Luca Donche. He's a great basketball player. I was going to ask that now. You don't follow basketball. I don't follow sports. I got you. Yeah. So the base- I'm a sports commentator who doesn't follow sports. Dude, you got a baseball, you got a card as well. You got a card. You got a card with the- I know there's a UFC card. There is. I think it's worth some money. Yeah. Of course it is. Of course it is. Of course the industry today is booming. There's a few guys that are doing it the right way. The card business. The private equity business got into it. They got into it. Yeah. So Jordan's rookie cards were selling for like 25,000 bucks a few years ago. There's only 330 of those PSA 10 rookie cards. These guys got into it. Next thing you know jumped to a couple of them sold for $700,000. Couldn't you fake that? Can't you fake a card? The best thing about the card game that changed is there's a grading service called PSA 10. So PSA that's based out of Newport, they don't even- they're not even taking any new cards right now because they can't. It takes 12 months for you to get graded. They're that busy right now. No joke. And it costs like 50 bucks, 40 bucks, 100 bucks to get cards graded depending on the quality of it. You send it to them, they look at it, and then based on that, like you see this here that says the PSA stamp, they give it a score. There's a VIN number to it and then there's a- not a VIN number, but a serial number to it and then this has got a value. Okay. Wow. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great.
