Is it wrong for somebody to sell cards of a player that is recently deceased?

I’m not sure but I think he posted this before the accident.

In a way, yes. People are selling to profit off the hype of his death which is wrong. If they had the listing up before then no I don't think that's wrong but if you go and jack the price up then yes that is wrong. It's a sticky situation because if people need money and they see these cards selling for ridiculous amounts of money then I think you should sell to get the money. But if you have money and you're just being greedy then that is morally wrong I feel. I'm still in shock to even think about which cards to sell or buy whether it be Kobe or anyone else.

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR I've been collecting since I was in 5th grade 32 years old now mainly Kobe Bryant rookie over 200+ of him.. but other great players as well kind of debating if I should sell because the prices are crazy high but I know it's sad what happened to him and his daughter my wife and I are having an girl on the way we're going to name her after Kobe Bryant's daughter Gianna!.. thinking about putting cards on eBay today as a huge bulk lot of Kobe Bryant rookie graded and non non-graded but excellent condition and double sleeve protective plastic holder let me know your thinking imma regular person with regular money in life

@@daniel.gthepainter1512 For sure man, sell some now. I wouldn't list them all in one lot because they will sell individually very easily. Try to put a couple up at buy it now or best offer and see what happens. You might sell a bunch like that and keep the others. I would say to start with the lower end stuff first. Keep the higher end cards and any of them that may have sentimental value. If you getting ready to have a child, the smart thing to do would be to sell for sure. Like I said though, start with the lower end stuff because everything is selling well above market value ( I've seen cards up by 300% what they were selling a week ago. Save the big-ticket cards for later but the lower end stuff sell and get you a nice nest egg. That's what I would do if I were you. 👍

Dang man, I know. just 2 days prior. I'm still in shock.

Smh i was going crazy bothering my Dad to look in the attic and find my cards that have been stored for over 20 years, This morning I was showing my son my cards and talking about Kobe and then the tragedy happened. Damn, RIP

Too sad! RIP 8/24

Exactly wow

Hi I have a Rookie card Kobe Bryant

Mine too. Kobe made a huge impact on me as a kid. His determination, confidence and raw talent inspires me to this day. 🙏🏼

Thanks for the feedback, Matt! Glad you liked the Kobe!

Uploaded just 2 days prior. Still very blown away by the timing of my video and the tragedy. 🙏Kobe

Wow I was wondering just 2 days RIP Kobe Gigi and everyone else on the flight.

The man could ball. His work ethic inspires me to this day 👍 love the dude on and off the court!

Mind blown. It'll take a long time to recovery from this one.

I agree.

Some of my favorites as well for sure!

Thanks for the feedback, Brian!

the topps non-chrome version is also a great card to have

Dang, that's a bummer. On a positive note, being able to kick yourself in the head is a impressive skill in my book 😂R.I.P. Kobe 🙏

Get em' while they're still affordable! 👍

Lower Merion* lol

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏 I'll look into a Dorsett video. I think I have a card of his on the Valuable Football cards from the 70's list already 👍

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback 👍

Nice!

Nice! Let me know what you find. It's always cool to hear about rare cards surfacing that owners forgot they had 👍

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR Unfortunately, as of today, I don't think I would even part with any of them.

WoW, that's an impressive amount of cards. Where in the world do you tore them all?

I have a closet dedicated to them. They are kept in boxes inside of totes. The higher end ones are kept in a large thick heavy safe. Lol.

Me too, when I'm at flea markets and garage sales I hope to find an un-opened box of Finest! Any earlier years,

It wasn’t at the time of making this video. They were about even with the Credentials having the upper hand because it is serial numbered. The Chrome refractor definitely took 1st place after the tragedy though.

Nice pick-up at a great price 👍

2 days prior! Freaking insane. I can't believe this happened.

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR (i dont mean of this to sound rude but) did you end up buying some of his cards etc that day? His stuff is selling like mad

@@Niko-Suave Yeah I picked up a few of the lower end stuff. I'm kicking myself for not going heavier though and getting more. It'll cool back down though, hopefully.

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR well I did watch this episode last night but didnt pull the trigger on anything!>!>!> ??? I am tilted, PLus there was a COA jersey of his on sale for $1700 at my local hobby store but was pulled down at some point today

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

They literally went nuclear overnight. This explosion is definitely one I'll never forget. R.I.P Kobe 🙏

Keeping mine as well 👍

The timing is crazy. With the Kobe Rookies base cards are just as collectible for me as well. all of his cards really. 👍

🙏

Very nice 👍great pick-up

wow is all I can say.

LEGEND 👍

Awesome! Get em' slabbed! I'm working on a Lebron video. He has a lot of cards to filter through but I'll get one posted eventually 👍

I also have the 96 fleer card

I have a 1996 card number 21 golden leters, do you have any idea of valué?

Me too! I can't believe he hasn't had more submitted. I'll be picking some up to submit for sure!

i think its because his early years as a player was also during the waning years of sports cards collecting and many people have been out of the hobby since, many only returning recently. i def expect those population of graded cards to start increasing because you know theres no way those numbers are at all reflective of the actual amount of these produced

I'm not sure which cards you're talking about. Can you give a link?

Awesome set!

Yeah, almost everyone Kobe Bryant collector will have a similar story. His prices went through the roof after the recent tragedy. It’s utterly insane how the market reacted.

@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR i still have his 96-97 crunch time rookie. no where near as valuable but still a cool rc

👍😍

According to all the sellers on eBay they are his rookie cards so, no worries 👍

it's prolly more valuable

I would wait to buy in a few months for sure. The market is way too high to buy right now.

After the market cools down I plan on doing an update video 👍

🙏
