WEMBY RC'S ARE CRASHING!!!🚨 What You're Doing Wrong with Rookie Cards

[@huxbux]

Hey everyone! Something different today. Gonna take a look at Wembys RCs, where they're trending, and what to do with them. I'd love to hear what your planning on doing with yours. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

[@WARS187]

Agree..get his #'d and inserts only select rare ones and hold for the long haul

[@thereverendripps1733]

Wemby is expensive still, but focus on silver select Prizm courtside or mezzanine. Neither is numbered but history shows the court sides go high.

[@danielkriefall5881]

I am keeping my Wemby French cards one of them is graded one

[@xS.B.FEINx269]

Just pulled a zebra last night my mind is blown I’m thinking I’m holding it

[@ghostnotes5667]

My Kobe’s and Jordan’s dipped for years and now they’re worth substantially more.

[@WARS187]

Im keeping all 17 of my wembys Bcuz in 15 years from now We will have the last laugh 💰 👽

Assuming he stays healthy and puts together a long career and the Spurs contend for a championship, for sure.

[@jonathandavid9389]

Me too

[@brandontauscher9917]

They said the same with Zion

[@TankTard20]

Yep, all true.. I usually sit on stuff and see my sales lower after the fact.

[@huxbux]

He'll see a bump before the season. I'm curious to see what the low point is before that. Keep the faith 😁

[@PERRYSTOILETSEAT]

I’m keeping the FEW I pulled for now. Over $1000 in product I may have pulled 5! Thanks for the info

[@huxbux]

Guess that depends on what you opened 😏

[@oneofuscards]

Insane numbers of rookie variations. I think the higher end wembys (low #’d, SP) so on and so forth will continue to go up forever but base will become more and more common

[@huxbux]

I think Wembys career path is one of the more interesting long term story lines in the NBA. I feel like it's not even a consideration he's going to be anything less than an all timer. Wish I had a time machine 😁

[@user-gy3bt1tz4o]

I pulled two sweet Wemby parallels and while they’ve dropped in value, I pulled them and that’s dope and has lots of value to me. I ain’t selling!!! Appreciate you and the video.

[@huxbux]

The great thing about the hobby is we get to collect what we all want and like. Keep em, enjoy em.

[@wej1217]

Don't care how much they drop in value. I will keep all 14 of mine. Wait 15 to 20 years and then let's talk value!

[@huxbux]

That's a real possibility. Stays healthy, Spurs contend, his priced will certainly rise.

[@LogansRunningMouth]

100% Agree! Even if he becomes the next GOAT, his prices won't be what they were at release! Always sell immediately and rebuy 6 months to 1 year later. What app were you using by the way? Cool stuff. Thanks for making this type of video.

[@huxbux]

Thanks for watching. Enjoy your videos! You're spot on. There is so much baked into rookie prices at and near release that if shorting was a thing, it'd be the way to go. I'm just using market movers for price history.

[@danefuller2664]

Yes, I agree with all your points for the most part and really appreciate the insight. I personally plan on holding onto most of mine and I definitely wil focus on purchasing more limited/numbered cards in the future since these will hold the most value.

[@Northsid3r26]

Its common for players with a ton of hype upon entering the league plus the more copies gets pulled, prices fall. Great topic!

[@eNgaGe87]

Or....or....you advise people to be true collectors instead of telling them to "sell sell sell early!!!". Flippers are hobby cancer. The flipper mcdingleberry math: spent 1k, hit a 500 card, sell it, end up w/ no pc card and -500. Then convince yourself you made a "solid business decision". :)

[@huxbux]

I don't know any flipper that's ripping wax. Generally, flippers are focused on the singles or raw to grade market.

[@eNgaGe87]

@@huxbux fair enough, flipping wasn't the right term to use. But, the idea behind my post is the same. If you think of this in a financial direction, you're advising people to gamble instead of invest. This is a hobby, it should be about fun first, money last. Telling people to rip for a big card just to sell, is the same thing as telling a gambler to keep feeding a slot machine. And the outcome will always be the same: they'll end up w/ empty pockets, since just like a gambler, a person who hit and sold a big card won't stop and take the money. They'll think they can hit another huge one, rip more product, and get a bunch of Dinwiddie cracked ice parallels. All I'm saying is, promote building collections, not selling to make a few bucks(then losing it anyways).

[@ghostnotes5667]

It’s like the stock market though, everything goes up and down over time. Ten years from now these will skyrocket.

[@huxbux]

There was a boom. There can also be a bubble. Who really knows.

[@mdbeddingfield]

Only ones to invest in are the low pop PSA 10s. Rarity is the value.

[@huxbux]

It's hard all the way around imo. His prices have so much baked into them. Not to say they won't or can't go up, but the risk is there.

[@gemmintmasters]

Crazy thing is that his stuff is still pretty high. Seems to be a pattern with new product and then cools off. I’m personally holding a good amount of his stuff and I’m literally grading EVERYTHING I pull. Still a huge market for raw to grade

[@huxbux]

His stuff flies. It's crazy. And yea his prices are high even now.

[@jeditricks7605]

I'm keeping all my parallels and number wembas like yea the base rc of wemba are tanking but not my expensive ones

[@Nice_pulls_and_sweet_rips]

Definitely holding for the long term. Not just Wemby, this entire class. My prediction is we will all look back at this draft class 5 years from now and go wow! What a class! There will be second rounders that will evetually turn into good players too. Mark my words.

[@huxbux]

As long as Cason turns out. You'll be hearing from me if he doesn't 😁

[@RetailRipper]

i only have a few that i plan to grade and hold. nothing big. if I hit anything early from optic thats not grade worthy, ill def sell asap. got $90 for a base Prizm that was OC.

[@huxbux]

Agreed. I feel like people don't understand opportunity cost at all.

[@README27]

hes 8ft tall and runs around, he should be really healthy going forward

[@huxbux]

My sarcasm detector is tingling...

[@gameinformationpokertheory]

Yes, this has been the case since 2017 when the Sportscards Hobby became more popular. Every year Panini, Topps and Upper Deck produced more cards (Additional sets with more Parallels on top of printing more copies.). Only during the pandemic did you prices increase as sets were delayed in production. Going forward it should get worse - massive oversupply from slowing demand. Higher interest rates meant lower demand for collectibles, but the manufacturers continued to print even more products. The economy should improve and inflation should decline eventually - delayed buying could be an Optimal Strategy. Using information of market trends like what you presented here, why not start buying Players in there 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th year or beyond…buy once a Player establishes themselves. Anthony Edwards RCs are cheaper today than his Rookie season. Lots of listings for Ant-man now…this is just one example. Plenty of opportunities everywhere each year in all the Sports. 🏀 🏈⚾️🤓

[@huxbux]

Agreed. The optimal time to buy a rookie card, I think is in year 2 or 3. NBA rookies take years to fully develop.

[@philly1110]

Holding them might be the better play. But only time will tell. One injury could plummet his prices.

[@mrblac34]

I just like to collect them. Haven’t had much luck selling lately.

[@huxbux]

He's def one of the more fun rookies to collect in the past several years. Next year is going to such a come down.

[@Longhorn9004]

I have so many wembys. I need to get them graded!

[@huxbux]

Sooner the better. His pop counts will be insane in a year.

[@sp123]

@@huxbux he went from 0 prizms to 2500 graded by PSA in two months

[@thereverendripps1733]

Always sell base. Hold parallels that are rare. For instance, the mezzanine wemby silver Prizm is retail only. Not the blue version. Als9 Select Courtside silver Prizm is the best non-numbered investment type card.

[@thesoonerstatediggers1262]

I pulled the Donruss Elite Mixorama and I've only seen 2 that's ever been sold. I'm curious about the total numbers even printed. Having said that, I'm torn. I'm not really sure what to do with it. If the Spurs do start winning in a few years, will it be one that would be desirable? I don't know. I know some LeBron rookies for 50 and 60k. Will he be that kind of talent? It's hard to know what to do.

[@huxbux]

Hard to know since Panini keeps everything under lock and key. It'll always be desirable since it's a SSP. The question is what his career ends up being.

[@jerridgarcia2453]

It’s hard for me to find product where I live and the other day I found some Prizm and Select Hangers.. I pulled a base Prizm Wemby and in Select I pulled a Premier Orange Tectonic Wemby and I’m gonna hang on to em for now

[@huxbux]

Nice pulls!

[@CerMaek]

I guess this is only applicable in the US where supply is abundant. But different story here in the Philippines. You see dip in value/prices of course lately but you almost can't see supply especially for high value boxes/cards of Wemby. I agree to sell high, but remember that you can't just buy them back especially if you are living in a 3rd world country like Philippines. More power Huxbux though! Your lone Filipino subscriber here.

[@huxbux]

There will be many more! 😉😁 I didn't consider markets outside the US, true.

[@bobtrottier8178]

Crashing? I dunno.... definitely following normal course of the hobby post season,maybe a LITTLE more caused by supply. There's a lot of em out there...but as next season gets underway, the scramble to buy them again will jump right back up. Enough collectors to carry the number,AS LONG as he starts where he left off on the court.

[@huxbux]

It's a normal cycle, yes. I haven't looked at the data, but a comparison in price fluctuation between Wemby and other touted rookies within the first 6 months of release would be useful. Maybe I should have done that. 🤔 And the title is a bit of clickbait. 😬

[@tomchang732]

Ya I'm hoping the prices fall more in the offseason so I can scope some up on the cheap

[@huxbux]

I'd imagine they'll continue to fall a bit and see a bump in september.

[@ChanchoTheGreat]

All I’m hearing is that it’s a good time to buy some killer cards. Buy low sell high buy low sell high

[@FFMCardsandMore]

Very informative. I am new to the hobby, so this is very useful. I am sitting on a couple that I was going to send for grading, but maybe I missed the right time.

[@huxbux]

It's still a good time to grade absolutely. It's just not the best time anymore.

[@SwapMeet_SportsCards]

Reed Sheppard to the spurs would go crazy in the market

[@strangemachines_]

If Wemby lives up to his promise and brings the spurs multiple championships and becomes one of the best players in basketball and multiple all star selections, then whoever has held onto the numbered cards and parallels and such will be sitting on a small fortune. So my thinking personally is I am going to store the Wemby’s I have away for the next ten years and see what comes of his future. Long-term investment I am thinking for him.

[@huxbux]

For me it's either that or sell at a peak time before/during the season. I'll probably do a little of both. May the man be great!

[@DatHobbyGuy319]

I’ve been a Wemby magnet. I am definitely planning on holding and/or grading and see what happens

Def grade if it looks like a 9 or better. After that your choice. Depends on if you want it in your collection. Cards aren't an investment. Who knows how any rookie turns out? Literally, no one.

I wish they wouldn't saturate the market with so many cards of one person. It ruins the hobby. I'd rather see only roughly 1000 of each player each year.

They def overprint but I don't blame them. I'd imagine of there was only 1000 of any player in a year, we'd all get priced out of the hobby.

@@huxbux Wow thank you for the insight, I was going to buy a bunch of PSA 10 Base Victor because I truly believe he is and will be generational talent. Great Video, You definitely got a new subscriber, Cheers!

[@huxbux]

​@benz6323 No problem. To put it into perspective, Luka base Prizm rookies PSA 10, pre playoffs, were selling low to mid $200s. If Luka wins a championship those def stay where they are now at high $200s, low $300. So you're banking on the best case scenario to 2x your money. But I think his base price will continue to fall due to over supply. Another fun fact. There are 20k Luka base PSA 10s. There's already 10k Wembys not even 6 months into the release. Just food for thought. The decision is ultimately yours.
