Leaf Trading Cards owner Brian Gray has jumped into the podcast fray. Here are thoughts on his first episode and where you can listen.
Redemption Cards
This featured his weakest arguments and underscored the fact that redemption cards are largely a Ponzi scheme for card companies.
My favorite part was when he "urged" card manufactures to pressure athletes to return cards "after the product comes out, after we collected the money." (10:25)
Appears to legitimately believe that sicker autographs are the way to go to eliminate redemption cards.
Not exactly "visionary" thoughts from Gray on redemption cards. LOL.
Bull Market - Gary Vee
Gray says he predicted the sports card bull market at the 2017 Industry Summit..... but can't find any video of it.
At least Gary Vee would have video of him predicting it BG!
Stick to your Beckett conference SCRUBS.
Sees buying opportunities in Andrew Benintendi and Jonathan India.
One thing I didn't like was Gray failed to mention he has a method to off his bad sports card investments. Through his repack products. You as a normal collector don't have the liquidation tools Gray does. Stop buying this repack garbage.
Believes the focus on Zion Williamson will be so great that other NBA players will be greatly undervalued in 2019-20. Probably his best point of the show but not exactly earth shattering.
