Sports Card Collecting.

My prides and joys.

I have a Shawn Kemp Rookie Card somewhere.

Have some from when I picked them up in the early 80's. A few complete sets going back to the early 70's. Used to pick up some of teams that didn't exist anymore. Teams like the Seattle Pilots baseball team which became the brewers.

Have a bunch of 90s football cards (6k+) that were rediscovered when my parents moved, in decent condition but no market for them. I moved a few peyton manning rookies, but nothing else has much value right now. A couple of autographed cards (John Randle/Lawyer Milloy), a piece of a game worn uniform from card for Tory Holt..bunch of mid 90s rookies, bunch of other rarer inserts..no market or very limited right now. Took them to a shop and the guy basically said, maybe in a decade there will be more of a market..which fair enough. I wouldnt want shit taking up space in my shop that had no chance of selling.

Here is my Josh Allen stuff, nothing huge as I never hit any autos for him opening 2018 products. For interests, Jo Adell, or also into big name guys in MLB. Tatis, Acuna, Ohtani, Trout, Griff Jr, Jeter, etc.

I heard this guy was a decent QB for Dallas in his day. Is his rookie, but 99% sure it has been trimmed, checked it versus other singles from the set and was smaller than anything I compared it to.

88-89 was one of the great sets for sure, lots of HoFer rookies in there. Here is my Miller, and also a Stockton and his All Star from the set.

Older stuff was always worth more money because there was less of it. All the card companies would release one set a year until late 90s/early 2000s when they would release multiple and the market got flooded. Now I feel like all collectors want are the few chase cards every year, like the jersey/autograph of the super super stars. Maybe these people still exist but for us growing up in the 80s/90s it really was all about collecting. There wasnt a huge resale market until the internet. Going to card shows in person was fun growing up but you never really saw multiple thousand dollar cards being sold back then.

Just saw this on YT, Jordan PSA 9 alone is around $25k right now. Nice mistake PSA.

People do that now, buy a graded card with edge problems, break the case. trim the thinnest section or, resubmit it for a 9 or 10, Make Thousands.
I said people, but i really meant "scumbag fraudsters"

Its a pretty large problem and the FBI gets involved.

Reading that thread it sounds like my dad is 80% of the people posting in that thread. He hates PSA. He believes every theory about them like they get paid off by big collectors, they rate your cards better the more business you give them, etc.

Weekend Ebay sale. Will we get to see him go up against some MLB pitchers this season?

Burn it! Your dreams have been shattered!
