Subscribed! Keen to check out some later when I have time - always a big deal putting yourself out there like that on YouTube so I hope you get out of it what you want and let all the hater stuff slide off your back (if there is any at any stage) - all the best!
Thanks Joe. I'm always interested to hear other people's perspective on the hobby. I have only just watched the 1st video. I'll probably skip the second video ( Embiid) because the answer to "should you invest in Joel Embiid" should be a resounding, NO - perhaps that was your conclusion. I'll watch the other videos when I can.
One point in your 1st video which deals with people driving around from one Walmart to another to buy up all the retail products they can get their hands on, may in fact not be a case of demand outstripping supply( in the traditional sense). I think a lot of people are starting to invest in sealed products and are grabbing as much as they can; then either storing it; or flipping it on Ebay. This is not a good thing.
I share your concerns about overproduction but I do not think there will be a repetition of the 90's. The big difference between then and now is the rise and rise of the internet. The hobby now reaches far more people than it ever could in the 90's and I can see more and more people getting into it because of the advent of online breaking, and social media sites that discuss the hobby. That was not there in the 90's. I'm cautiously optimistic that there will not be a repeat of the 90's. The landscape has altered dramatically since then.
Thanks again for making hobby content.
Actually with the Embiid one. The conclusion isn't obvious, its not what most people think. The potential is there, but he lacks the mental fortitude or maturity (or whatever word you like to use for it) to fully realise his potential.
If he happens to go to a team with a good development system that prioritises attitude and development, Embiid could really shine.
Also Simmons and Embiid do not bring the best out of each other. (It doesn't mean they can't play together, but its just not in an optimal sense.)
His prices are lowish now, so for a risk loving investor who likes to take chances.. he might be the guy.
But if you are risk averse, stay the hell away!
I like that you created a beginner video for people interested in the hobby and I think it's very important. People often won't jump in because they don't know where to start and what to look for etc. My friends and I have enjoyed the learning process after only just getting into the hobby again.
I think a good video would be educating people on breaks and the gambling aspect. Comparisons to only buying into break vs saving for the cards you actually want to PC. Let me know if you do something like this as I'd love to hear another perspective.
Lols… remember that investing and collecting are two seperate things!I hope the answer is yes!
Great background music as well. Vivaldi?
