How about just keeping a small but quality Kawhi pc and sell the rest?
Im pretty you could finish that top 50 auto chase with the money youd get from selling up...
I have thought about it the last few months to maybe break up my Al Jefferson PC. There were months that i couldnt find one nice Big Al card to add to my pc. And just like drob said im not gonna pay top $$ for a simple patch or base parallel 1/1 just because others do.
Also with the new international shipping prices for USA sellers, its virtually impossible to pick up a regular GU for a decent amount, theres no point in paying $3 for a card and then $7 for shipping.
So i decided to focus on some of the new rookies that are actually getting some decent playing time. And its basically the only thing you can collect because its all Panini puts out in their new products (double crop 100 rookie class).
Its mainly a hobby for me, but from time to time when a player explodes i trade some of his stuff to get even nicer things back. Picked up about 10 Harden autos the last few years to get a small okc side-pc going. But when he got traded to the Rockets and exploded the first week of the regular season i decided to sell all of the non-rookie autos. And later on traded most of the rookie autos to get other nice stuff in.
I mainly collect for the fun of it and because im a huge basketball and NBA fan, but nothing in my pc is off-limits if the offer is to good to refuse. Because at the end of the day its just cardboard with ink and fabric.
I think we have talked many times about similar questions to this, but my question is more specific than others.
Say you are a player or set collector and all of a sudden, the player or set has a major spike in price and is worth more than you are prepared to spend. When do you decide to sell up? Obviously, if the prices are rising, that means that the value of your existing PC has risen too, but my question is, at what point will you sell and reap some of the rewards?
For example - Kawhi Leonard!
I have been collecting Leonard for a fair while now, but lately, there has been a few more people collecting him than in the past, which is to be expected when someone is playing very well.
Whenever I saw a card that was /10 or even rarer, I was jumping on them. I usually had to pay anywhere from $30 up to $75, depending on what type of card it was.
But lately, there has been a few cards that are going for astronomical prices!
This made me think. What offer would I need to get on my cards before I would sell. Say you bought a rare card for $70. How much would the offer have to be for you to sell. If you did sell this particular card, would you then sell the rest?
I have always treated this as a hobby, so I am not just in it to profit (refer DeJuan Blair PC), but if I have a chance to get a lot more back than I paid, which allows me to buy more nice cards, I will do it! Also, and I think this is the key, I ALWAYS know what I am prepared to spend on a card.Just because some people are paying $150 for a basic patch card of Leonard, doesn't mean I will!
Now I want to know where you guys draw the line??
