After working on these cards for the past few months, I haven’t really done much physical grading.

What y’all think? Did snoop pull the Adidas Kobe 2s off? 😂 IMO even Kobe himself couldn’t pull these off...especially on court. But this is an honorable mention for the ‘best casual fit with Kobe 2s

In addition to sneakers, Supreme, handbags, toys and sports cards, @stockx now brokers the sale of webcams. Yes. Webcams. Search it up. You can now flip webcams. Apparently, when COVID started an

Could you imagine being a grown man telling - not asking - but TELLING another grown man what to do with their lives? These are grown men on IG telling other grown men to ‘stick to sneakers’. Keep in

This is another thing I find interesting about the card market…it seems like the pricing is all over the place. When I was a kid, all of these cards basically had only two values - the ‘mint’ valu

What exactly is ‘authentic’? In sneakers, it seems that ‘authentic’ boils down brand-sanctioned. Meaning one can use the same (leftover) materials at the same factories and if Nike (or whichever br

I know I’ve been posting this one over and over but I can’t get over how sick this card (and these shoes) are. The Kobe V ‘Bruce Lee’...I remember when this pair came out, my buddy who is a HUGE Kobe

One of my favorite cards in the set. A shoeless Kobe Bean Bryant. These cards look great in a sealed one-touch! Plus the tamperproof holograms...gold! Er...silver...er...multicolor.

Mamba Day! Alright y’all...it’s 8/24 at 8:24 a.m. and it’s time to set the #824pack live. The eBay auction ended at $103.50 and that’s way more than I could have hoped for. The winner of that auction

One more for good measure… The Kobe IX, in my mind, was a dud. I owned a few pairs but really didn’t like the silhouette - to me, it reminded me of a late 90’s skate shoe - it looked clunky IMO.

Look ma! I’m TikTok’ing! Part of the reason I wanted to do these cards - I’m not rich enough to buy old shoes that are bound to fall apart that I’m most likely not going to wear more than a few times
