Cards 100-45 From My ACE100 List
Plus: January was another big month!

Happy Monday, collectors! I’m still in shock that the Mavs traded a top-5 player entering his prime for an aging big man. It’s so stupid! And on the heels of trading Porzingis and letting Brunson go? Malpractice.
Quite a few people have requested the list of cards I have already discussed in my ACE100 list. Since I’m also short on time this week, it feels like a good time to drop that list.
If you need a refresher, read about it here.

A Weird Pair of Roger Federer eBay Sales
A subscriber who goes by Stick sent me this. Check out the two Federer rookie card sales, 1 day apart:

A rather rare card for tennis, the 2003 Netpro Elite Glossy Roger Federer /100 PSA 10 was on sale on eBay twice! The auctions ended within one day of each other. The first one sold for $4,700 ending on Jan. 26th, a Sunday. The second one which ended a day later for $7,200.
Both are new PSA labels. Both are from well established sellers who have between 20,000 - 30,000 feedback. Both listings look standard to me. I know it can happen but it’s always shocking to see in real time such a price difference for the same card ending within the same time frame where I can’t really find a reason for it. In fact, the default theory is that it’s better to end auctions on Sunday night so we would think if anything the first listing would have sold for more but that’s not the case. Pictures attached in case you’re too lazy to search eBay.
I think the Sunday night thing might be a small factor here. My guess is that a bigger factor is FOMO after the first one ended. Two people who really wanted it realized they needed to go bigger, and both entered megabids.

🎬 Channel Highlights From the Past Week
In January I did my fewest videos in a month (15) in two years. I still got 96,000 views, thanks to a video from November and another from December continuing to get tons of views.
Other than that, it was another 3-video week in JWH land. I did enjoy the story on this one:

I got a couple of wax pack wrappers from Jeremy Donson. Nothing big.
👻 Brief Horror Movie Review of the Week
On Sunday I went to see Companion, ostensibly a horror movie but more like a dark comedy / thriller. In fact, I see IMDb has changed the genres and removed horror. Still, it has some horror feel to it, for sure.
I absolutely loved it. From start to finish, it brings the heat. Fun, thrilling, and unique.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
