Hard to argue with that. Do you have a favorite card during that time. I have sort of tuned into the 1980 Rickey Henderson since it is so hard to find in a PSA 10 (one of the hardest cards)
👏I really enjoyed this. Thank you for all of your research and putting this together. These were/are some important sets that, should have been mentioned, in my opinion: 1975 Topps Minis, 1984 Fleer Update, Topps Tiffany, '90 Leaf, '91-'93 Donruss Elite
Btw, thanks for making this! Im sure it took a considerable amount of effort, of which i GREATLY appreciate... but even more so, its a bunch of USELESS information i can use to pretend to be the smartest guy in the room!!!
Samuel Peck come up with the ideal of the whole team with advertisements of his sporting good store Peck and Synder on the back. Till then they were just photos. Spaulding bought out Peck. Yep the ones that make baseballs.
I think one of the biggest reasons for the "drop" we've seen is people seeing what cards sold for 2021-22 by AUCTION HOUSES and an eBay with less competition and bigger names still associated. They then thought THEY could get the SAME prices, with less than half of a percent of the EYES SEEING the card in their PERSONAL eBay store. SO many "poorly worded listings" or listsings that ended at a weird time (there are so many unforeseen variables) TANKED the "comps" people used to justify paying what the card is WORTH. The market is then FLOODED with people trying to get what had previously ONLY been available through an Auction House, so without any intelligent regulation, we basically "hunted the numbers almost extinct." The reality is, if we all just used Auction houses and let them regulate the supply, we'd all probably make the most profit we could... even with their "cut" from the sales. It's basically our own arrogance and ignorance which has caused this "drop" and I for one am taking as much advantage of the BUYING OPPORTUNITY as possible! As long as you buy SMART, in 10+ years, you'll be sitting on a nice little chunk!
@@sportscardsedge I wish I had that discipline... besides, my wife flips when I spend more than $200 on a card... lol.. so I buy lots of under $200 cards and she doesn't kill me... if I had the ability to save up to buy a big time card like those, I wouldn't be where I am now lol
It's all fun, I just bought a $26 card and sold it a few days later for $55 and I was as thrilled as when I sell a more a expensive card. It's all about the fun!
Is there any evidence that Brooklyn Atlantic photo was created for distribution at games? I always thought it was a team photo for the players. Was there mass printing of photos in 1860?
My source was the Library of Congress: The team’s carte de visite (a visiting card), produced in 1865, is considered the earliest extant dated “baseball card,” a souvenir handed out to fans and even to opposing teams.
Which ERA of baseball cards is your favorite?
Vintage years for me. (1948-1985).

Im with tim, ill go a little farther to go 1948-1989
Great video, my friend! 40+ year baseball card collector and still learned a lot. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I did put some time into making it so I really appreciate your comment!

I love useless facts!
I have a Desert Shield card or 2, they are "nobodies", which means they are probably MORE rare and if they 10, they will be HUGE money!
Oh awesome. I’d hang on to them I don’t think I’ve seen one in person

Thanks Lee I didn’t know that part!
Excellent!!! Very informative!
Thank you I put some time into researching this!
Its so funny that none of the companies just thought to sell CARDS, without gum, until so much later!!!
I know right?! I was thinking the same thing!
No one would have bought them 50s and 60s kids majority of them bought them for the gum

Oh yeah I agree there will be some great buys here. I’m looking at a 1953 Topps Mantle and a 1933 Goudey Ruth in the dip

@@sportscardsedge lol... tell that to my wife!!!
You could start a group for secret sports card trading when your wife can’t find out LOL!
If you can teach a course, thats smarter than buying and selling cards!!!
I love doing both!
Very interesting and informative. Btw, Ontario is pronounced On-tear-ee-oh. (tear or tare)
Thank you! I will improve my Ontario pronunciation!

No TCMA love???
You know your cards! They certainly could have been included. I guess I wasn’t sure where to draw the line
@@sportscardsedge what can I say, I'm an addict!!! Lol
I just read that they estimate that over 1 billion sports cards have been produced all time, so PLENTY to be addicted to!
Baseball and rules as we know it is all American
And English and Canadian apparently!
Imagine if that pack of cigarettes had a Wagner in it
Dream card for sure!
England always will be mother of America 😅😅
I was surprised to learn this is true even with BASEBALL!!
Sports Flics are the WORST!!!
I know I was so excited to buy them again recently because I had fond memories of them as a kid but they were disappointing
