    Im a 90s baby and lost all my cards in a flood in 2001, my wife and I lost our jobs due to covid so even when you can find retail packs in aus they're way beyond our budget, but we managed to spoil our 11 year old son yesterday for his birthday with a prizm cello pack from EBay , first pack and we hit an anthony edwards silver. Thanks to finding your channel and app now my son gets to fall in love with his new passion and I get to do it all over again :) bless !

      You were spot on with the comment and I got into the Hobby in 1981 and I had all the superstar Rc's Jordan,
      Kobe I mean all of them in all the Sports and I had about half of all my Card's stolen from me about a year ago and I will never be able to get over it!!

    I’ve been collecting all my life hadn’t really thought about selling any of them until recent years. Working on going through all I have to see what is worthy to get graded or worth selling. Your videos are helping me with that process. Love your videos and your knowledge.

    I think Topps Dynasty is overall undervalued. We see crazy sale prices for RPAs from NT and Flawless from football and basketball, but that hasn't happened in baseball to the same degree. I gotta think that is only a matter of time before people pick up on that. Topps Dynasty has the best RPAs in the baseball world.

    What I've learned, Buy sealed boxes of cards for the fun of opening. Buy graded cards to build your collection. If you're tight on money, cards graded 9s are a great way to build your collection on a smaller budget. SGC 9 seems to be at a much larger discount then PSA 9 and that's what I buy when I can't afford the PSA 9 version

    @TrailBlazer5280 ปีที่แล้ว

    Geoff as a pokemon collector I greatly appreciate your informative card videos. Sports is fun to dip into sometimes but I am way out of my element. Obviously part of the appeal is pulling a valuable card that you could grade or sell, videos like this really help me understand what im looking at in the rare occasion I buy some packs.

  • @jayclifford3803
    @jayclifford3803 ปีที่แล้ว

    Unfortunately I began collecting as a kid in 1987 and only collected through the early 90s. I was a Topps guy. Didn’t get into other brands back then. Just recently got back into the hobby and realizing there is so much more now that I know very little about. I am soaking it all in and enjoying the learning. I am investing in cards now to build my collection.

    Hey Geoff, I’ve been a fan of your videos for almost 2 years now. I appreciate the knowledge you bring and your enthusiasm for our hobby. Another interesting high-end Topps product is Luminaries, which limits the print run of each card to at most /15 copies. All the best, my friend.

  • @scsmith4604
    @scsmith4604 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just got back into collecting and investing within the last few months with my 8-year-old son. I decided to start him out with the Base Series 1, 2, and Update but going forward I think I will just buy him the factory set for Series 1 and 2 and then let him rip for the Update.
    Where I am struggling is what to collect for myself. I think I am at a point where I am just going to target Auto's of key rookies and favorite players and buy them seperately. It seems I would save a lot of money with this strategy over buying boxes and ripping. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

    • @HailTheApocalypse
      @HailTheApocalypse 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, one would argue (eh emm, Stryker Breaks) that what is the fun of "just buying the card" compared to ripping a pack and pulling it yourself. Me myself, I can't really afford to spend a ton of money on, lets say anything 2018 to 2019 sealed products. The value packs can be pretty reasonably priced on Ebay sometimes and those are what I normally go after. Value packs and fat packs. The value packs sometimes have a special parallel pack with the regular packs. They have potential to have huge bangers in them just as well as the boxed products. And again, the packs are way cheaper then blasters, mega blasters, etc and you'll be paying less per card compared to those boxes. But sometimes just buying the card you want is usually the best way to go. I myself do that just because like you said, it can be cheaper than to chase the card. I personally collect rookies, prospects (Bowman 1st cards) and the big stars. I have a few favorite players i will PC. Fernando Tatis Jr. is my favorite player at the moment and wish I could go back to February 2020 ( when i got back into collecting after 20 some years )when his rookies were under 20 bucks, including the chrome version. But that's another story that makes me cringe talking about it lol. But as far as who or what to collect is entirely your personal preference. Watch a few card break videos and that should give you some kind of idea what interests you the most.

    • @HailTheApocalypse
      @HailTheApocalypse 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh btw, i wasn't bashing Stryker Breaks by any means. Matter of fact, he was one of the channels that got me back into the hobby and he is very knowledgeable as well. And he has break downs and reviews of products that currently get released. A very good channel you should check out during your video searches.

    • @davidgamble2673
      @davidgamble2673 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unless you need the money now for something else I'd hold that awesome card. Surely there will be a time in his career where that card will get hyped up value. Hot streak, more Braves ships, 40/40...my guess but I'm not a pro like Geoff.

    • @malicious_beast8765
      @malicious_beast8765 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You just gotta watch the market. If his prices go up to a crazy amount then I'd consider selling, but there's no real point to entertain selling now. The market is so volatile right now

    @cheapcardcollector 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video. Nobody does 101 videos better! Curious your thoughts on the Bowman Best Beckett issue about declaring this past Bowman Best set as the "true" rookies. I personally think Beckett can declare anything they want but we as investors will decide which rookie we want and therefore will be the most valuable.

    Why didn’t he talk about Stadium Club and Topps Finest? When I was a kid it seemed Topps Stadium Club came out as an answer to Upper Deck and Fleer Ultra. Later on Topps finest seemed to compete with Fleer Flair. I’m sure I’m wrong since I stopped collecting when I went into high school 🤷🏻‍♂️.

    I think key rookies are desireable in that you should keep rookie cards that may not be good now but wait 5 years and that might be different

  • @GregoryDeese
    @GregoryDeese 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I spent a lot of time and money buying baseball cards. I might as well bought napkins. Although that would bee more useful. I am apprehensive about buying more,. I dint don't want a large collection that vwould get destroyed. Card companies hocked the same gimmicks during the "junk wax" era. The only way to increase prices is to destroy as many bad spares as we can. Dairy farmers used to dump milk in the gutter when gluts happened. That glut from 1989 to 99 was crazy
