Another interesting story about cards that was sent to me a few years back by one of my friends @ramink . If you collect ANYTHING (including shoes or sneakers) and haven’t come across this article yet – I’d suggest you google it. It’s really interesting. Basically it tells the story of this dude who, as a kid, was really drawn to one particular baseball card – a 1964 Topps Curt Flood card and has basically spent the majority of his life buying every single copy of the card that he comes across. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As of 2014 (there is no update to the article), the collector – Mike Hally – owned roughly 4000 copies of the card. Clearly, if you search for it – you can find hundreds of copies of it…and they range in price from like $5 up to $200.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The guy who showed the article to me asked me if there were any shoes I would consider doing this with in order to artificially inflate the market – I responded with the Jordan 1 x Lance Mountain SBs Black/Red & Black/Blue pair from like 2014.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’d be interesting – the price is roughly 2-3 times retail at this point. If I hoarded 4000+ pairs of that Jordan 1 x Lance Mountain SB – would that even move the needle on the price? ⁣
