Warning- Huge Grant Hill eBay rant....

[xarzy]

you chose the right player if you want to sell off and make buttloads of money!

[tradebark]

^ this is true..

and honestly, i am tempted to do it more and more since i know i can't achieve what i want to =[

[Jermaniac07]

hey I have some Hill cards I can send your way...if you have an extra $500 laying aroung to buy them??? LOL!!!

Seriously I have some Hill cards if your interested I could get you a list...LMKP

[gatorboymike]

It's because Hill is a Duke guy, and all the other Duke guys want him. And as we know, only rich, stuck-up autocrats go to Duke. So their spending all this money on Hill is their way of telling the rest of us, "He belongs to us, not you." This is also what is behind the value of Jar Jar Redick's cards, even though he's played like three minutes the entire season.

Well I never went to Duke, in fact I was a fan (and started collecting) when I didn't even live in the U.S.

The biggest Hill collectors I know of live in Australia (a few there actually), Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.. and a couple in the U.S. :P

I think it has much more to do with people collecting him when he was the next MJ and not wanting to let go

He is very popular on the australian board, and seems to be very popular around the world like you said probably a throwback from when he was awesome before his injuries, but also because he generally is a very likable player

i thought this auction was worth bumping this old thread over..

Hill Artifacts base jsy /250.... $32

and that winner is NOT a shill, he is a big Hill collector that I routinely compete with on eBay

[Iverson_Fan]

Wow, I have noticed when I buy some Iversons, some sellers have a bunch from the same set, and Hill usually does go VERY high...Good luck gettin all them Rubies/PMGs if you dont already lol.
