#GoGTSLiveQoftheWeek Poll Question
We started the show, as we always do, with our #GoGTSLiveQoftheWeek poll question.
#GoGTSLiveQoftheWeekPoll – Oh this is a good one. Inspired by the recent sale of Kobe Bryant’s #NBA Debut Jersey 🏀 for $7M, the @ericwhiteback posed this question (see images in reply), given that they are about the same value, which would you want? #thehobby
