I’m building a pretty nice collection of Ghosts 👻 including the WNBA “Game Face (2024)”.
Do you own any ghost 👻 yet?

Check out the awesome Ghostwrite collaboration, officially licensed by the NBA! This special edition features a unique basketball-textured exterior and is limited to just 100 pieces. Excitingly, 60 of these are up for grabs in a live blind Dutch auction that ends Friday, Nov 1st at 9AM ET.

I’ve yet to add a Ghostwrite figurine to my collection, this one might be my first. The previous version, in collaboration with Eastside Golf called “Swingman,” sold for $300. Any guesses on how much the NBA “Gameball” will fetch in the blind Dutch auction?

Today's the last day to bid on the first ghostwrite collectible toy drop- 20 are being sold using a blind dutch auction format. The brand was created by Josh Luber, founder of StockX and former chief visionary officer of Fanatics Collectibles.

I was lucky enough to bid on/win one of the friends & family releases earlier this summer. You can check out the post here: https://www.onmantel.com/post/d40f9add-530c-4d6d-8b4a-6e07becad430

If I'm a betting man, I think this drop will sell for at least 20% more than the F&F drops did, given one of the No. 2 Pencil toys just sold on StockX yesterday for $1,200, and a prototype sold at VeeCon for more than $700.

Luber knows how to capture the zeitgeist and build hype, and if you watched his interview for Mantel Quality Stories (link below), it's clear from all of those toys in the background, he knows this category well.

Really excited to see how launch goes, and how this collectible brand develops over time.

Super fortunate to get access to a ghostwrite friends and family release, where I scooped up this No. 2 pencil vinyl toy.

The new toy line was created by Josh Luber, founder of StockX, among other endeavors in the collectibles space.

They haven’t officially launched for the public, so I couldn’t say no to grabbing one when given the chance.

Super interesting process… blind Dutch auctions, so they determine the clearing price by matching the highest bids to the quantity of items available. In this case, they had 20 total toys, so the 20th highest bid set the price and everyone at/above that bid paid that exact price, meaning some paid less than they bid. My first time bidding in an auction like that!

Anyways, the toy is great. Tons of tiny details, great size, quality. Hoping ghostwrite is huge when they launch in August- great entrant into the vinyl toy market.

(Sorry about my attempt at an artsy photoshoot).
