Are Flippers/Re-sellers the only ones left in the sports card hobby?

  • I setup at a sports card show this past weekend and 90% of my sales went to younger guys trying to re-sell what I sold to them. It makes you wonder, who is really left in the hobby?

    Good points and observations for sure. Not sure about shows, but I have noticed that verry common GRADED vintage has been getting slimmer online. I see it as like you said, the collectors are sitting on the sidelines, but also the sellers are most likely getting low ball offers from flippers so they are just not listing until things pop again. cheers

    It is a collectors market right now. Such great prices for cards that were overpriced 3-4 years ago. In my experience, there’s little money in grading and flipping cards. With some luck you can get lucky grading cards, but you need to have the right player at the right time to make money. Most of the time, the stars won’t align.

    I'm a collector. I super collect a modern 8th year player that is a common and I don't care about card values.

    Flippers and manufacturers and lazy sellers at shows that don’t update their prices make cards too expensive for your average Joe collector

    Unfortunately, it looks that way but I still collect my team so there are a few of us left!

    I am not a reseller. I go to shows every weekend and I spend money. Not Apple pay, not Paypal, not snapchat, not bitcoin, none of that bull$hit. Cash only. I am a buyer/collector/hoarder……..hope that helps…..

    Cards are “hot potatoes”……..90+% of the people in this hobby are flipping cards. I just got back from the National a couple weeks ago and you can tell why people are there. It’s all about the money…..
