Yeah I don’t really have an issue with it. Fanatics definitely needs LeBron way more than he needs them, and I still don’t see it 10x’ing the hobby.kingofsnake wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:03 pm I think it's good. Maybe one day every man, woman and child will have a LeBron auto.
Am I just insanely pessimistic to think that it may be incredibly difficult just to sustain the number of current participants?mindcycle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 9:41 amYeah I don’t really have an issue with it.

At least it might add a little variety to releases and that’s never a bad thing.
Completely agree. In no way can having more autos of the best player of our generation who hasn't had autos for 3/4 of his playing career be a bad thing. Cheers to Fanatics if they can get it done.kingofsnake wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:03 pm I think it's good. Maybe one day every man, woman and child will have a LeBron auto.
I actually agree with you, but I think the hobby has been shrinking longer than the time of the most recent boom.darz90scardz wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 10:53 amAm I just insanely pessimistic to think that it may be incredibly difficult just to sustain the number of current participants?mindcycle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 9:41 amYeah I don’t really have an issue with it.

Is it true to say that the hobby has been shrinking since the boom?
I’m a dumb dumb, so I have no idea which indicators you’d have to look at. I saw somewhere that a recent month’s sales volume was the highest it’s been in about a year, but I’m not sure you can use that alone.
