Earlier, I posted a little thing on Ronda Rousey and her first auto(1/1, not a printing plate) going for over $10K on ebay. Well, what I don't understand is why OBJ 1/1s are going for so high, even the 1/1s, when there are plenty of other ones out on the market in different variations. Plus, he has only had 1 season. Do I think he has potential? Yes, I do, but what if he gets hurt, or doesn't perform like he did last year? What if he gets into legal trouble like what we are hearing with some other big names? Then all that money, lets just say $500 on a 1/1 auto relic of him, goes down the drain. Now, here's a good example. A friend of mine on Instagram pulled this 1/1 Bowman Sterling Auto Relic Printing Plate of him, and listed it on eBay. In less than 1 DAY, the price the plate was at the time of the writing was at $649.99 with 71 bids *cough* The reserve is set at $650 *cough* My question is this, why are we spending ridiculous amounts of money on someone who has only been through their first season in the NFL and not legends who we know have value? Is it scarcity? Supercollecting? Hoping to god he performs and doesn't flop so you can hopefully make a profit in the end? I wanna hear everyone's opinion on this, but please no fighting, attacking, etc. This is to get everyone's minds thinking.
