I don't know anything about this business but how much would you pay for a Wemby rookie card?

If he were a rookie in 1974 and the lone card-maker still were Topps, plenty.

But there are a bazillion "rookie cards" now, and I wouldn't pay for any of them unless I happened to simply want to own one.

Could one or two turn out to be an "investment"? Maybe. Good luck figuring out which one or two.

Given what you lead in with, zero.

If you want it as a personal collectible, then whatever you’re comfortable with.  As a flip/investment value, don’t go swimming with sharks

James Harden makes his Clippers debut tonight, and he reportedly will start alongside the team's other former All-Stars.

Harden. Westbrook. Leonard. George. One basketball. Should be fun!

As someone said - avoid the new cards. Luck is never a good strategy.

If you want to invest in cards, buy up solid Mickey Mantle cards from the 50s and 60s.

He has driven the card market for many decades and I don’t see it changing.

Being a Sox fan, trading my Honus Wagner for a rookie Ron Kittle straight up was like taking candy from a baby.

Another boring game for Jokic.  He only had 35, 14, and 12.  The guy is phenomenal.

LeBron is averaging 36 min/game. No missed games. Is this sustainable if the Lakers want to make noise in the playoffs?

I guess you could say it has to be if the Lakers want to make the playoffs.

He’s a freak - but, no it is not sustainable.

Good Grief.  Bucks are down 8 at home to Detroit?  95 pts allowed in 3Q???  WTF?

Bucks should play under protest. Shameful officiating. Pistons have had multiple demonstrations worse than what got Giannis ejected.
