MidLife Sports Cards
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2022
I'm midway through life and reminding myself about all the fun I had collecting sports cards as a kid. Growing up in the early 80s, I was surrounded by Garbage Pail Kids, Star Wars, and especially Baseball Cards, Football Cards, and Basketball Cards. As a kid, I traveled all over California with my Dad and Brother attending Sports Card Shows, chasing Autographs, and making memories. I've kept my childhood collection and now, I'm adding to it. All those cards I couldn't afford as a kid are the ones I'm now going after, in an attempt to fulfill my childhood collection.

Should We Actually Buy The Sports Cards That WE Like? The Pros And Cons Of Buying What WE Like!!
One of the most common phrases in card collecting is, "buy what you like." Well, what if we like cards that nobody else likes? Should we still buy those cards? Are we influenced by what others are buying and collecting, or are we doing our own thing? When dealing with anything regarding supply and demand, we are all intertwined together, and decisions that are made from other collectors has a ripple effect on others. If we buy cards that nobody else likes, are we wasting our money? Should we buy cards that others like, but we don't? Well, it's complicated. In this video we take a long look at the topic of buying what we like, and whether that's actually a smart move, when collecting vintage sports cards.

Many collectors in the card community rely on grades from the grading companies. Other collectors don't want their cards to even be graded.

The questions is: will the grades from the grading companies always be as relevant as they are now? Have things cha...
