Other than these lottery pulls. I don't see how modern sports era could possibly be seen as worthwhile.
to the moon! 🌝
I see potential in the key rookie cards of course they’ll always have value. Value like in today’s market? I don’t know but if you’re looking to make short term investments it’s great
Excellent article. Remember to give this a thumbs up, make sure to subscribe and hit that bell, so you get notifications. You don’t want to miss any reserved investments videos I promise you. Shawn tells it like it is and could very easily put this all behind a pay wall.
Basketball and football cards are starting to have major market corrections,some modern basketball cards are down 50 percent of what they were selling in February according to eBay
Feb hit all time highs... The correction went directly in step with PSA pausing.
I like this short 5min videos on a specific topic. I still enjoy your 20min eps, but including some shorter vids adds variety to your content. Keep it up.
Came from Solemn Yugioh. I respect what you do and hope to continue viewing this type of content :D
This video aged well.
The article was a good read. I still have sets of baseball cards from the early 80's to the mid 90's. I don't hold onto them for monetary value, but because they represent when I learned collecting as a kid. I got older and moved onto other things that I found a heck of alot more interesting. I think sports cards offer great lessons for youngsters, but there ain't no way I'm investing in that stuff unless you go back a long way.
I got a Jordan rookie in a pack as a kid, but it was the last card in the pack next to the gum, so the back had a stain from the gum. Very sad. Still wish I hadn't sold it.
I have a very small position in, unopened vintage product, sport cards. I definitely see the market softening right now.
Thank you for bringing this article to my attention 🍻👍
3:05 Absolutely but also, we saw last summer that the virus is not happy with high temperatures. Even if I want to believe that the current situation is because of the vaccine, we will have to wait next winter to make sure we are out of the woods. We can help the process with a booster shot, that should be taken regardeless if it is necessary or not. The great news is that our system is now trained and prepared to deliver vaccines and the booster will require only one shot. There is a legitimate reason to be optimistic but we still have to be very careful... And I will continue to wear a mask during winter times because I am too ugly! I want to spare my fellow citizens! :p
That was an interesting column, but also nothing I haven't heard, read or thought before. I personally collect some sports cards and have off and on since I was a kid. I enjoy them aesthetically. What's been going on in cards over the past two years or so is annoying, but also not surprising. Cards are a lot of fun. You just have to ignore all the 'influencers' shilling junk. I stick to vintage graded stuff, Michael Jordan cards and the occasional rare modern card. Base cards are junk. But certain parallels like Topps Chrome gold of important players I think will always have a value to collectors and fans. Namely because they're gorgeous. I do think cards overall are here to stay, but I also think a correction is coming... and already happening. One phrase that is tossed around in cards these days is 'junk slab era' in regards to people grading just about any card. Too many overproduced base cards being graded. Those are the cards you have to avoid. But cards are awesome and a lot of fun. I love my card collection. I do get a kick out of seeing the values go up and have sold some because I'd rather have the money. But I'll never get fully out.
Side note; One of the shops mentioned in the column and the article - Jim and Steve's - is the place I grew up going to as a kid. Great place.
Question for people who lived the junk wax era. Was the junk wax era also international? First, I wasnt born yet. Second, the sports cards hype now was/is more international. Especially Asia loves sports cards and that stuff wasnt/isnt always easy available. And there is also a new collecting rise of soccer cards. And soccer (also basketball and baseball) cards are collected all over the world. I see where Rinker gets it from. And I mostly agree with him. But he has his focus in the article to much on the US and not outside the US. And that perspective I miss.
Thanks for the link to the article. Read it.
Correction is already happening in the sport card market 📉 👀 I sold off all my 90's junk wax cards for triple the money & If I wanted to I can buy them all back for far less.
What are your thoughts on investing in "NFT's?"
Did a video specifically on this...
Rinkers view seems to wrap it up nicely but could anyone really combine a childhood/teenage hobby, actually get enjoyment, from a speculative item gaining value that is to remain untouched for the short term. You need speculator parents.
Hopefully the crash in the modern era sports card market doesn't spread to other markets like VG too. I've got stuff to sell first damnit.
would be interesting to hear your thoughts on flesh and blood...rudy pump and dump?
I've read the article, and I'm not impressed. This is the same stuff I'm been hearing for years. The sports card market today is vastly different today than it was in the late 80's to early 90's. Autographed rookie cards (whether they are serial numbered, have game used jersey or patch pieces, or both) have changed things tremendously. Not to mention the highest printed modern sports card sets (Topps Baseball Series 1 & 2, NBA Hoops, Donruss and Panini Prizm Basketball, Upper Deck Hockey Series 1 & 2, Score Football & Prizm Football...just to give some examples) don't have the gigantic print runs of the junk wax era. Sealed modern Hobby boxes, even the sets I've mentioned, are a much better investment now. Most sports card collectors and investors like to gamble, and open up boxes to get that big pull. My biggest regret in my 30 years of sports card collecting is not keeping a lot of the sports card boxes that I've opened between 2000-2021 sealed. I've made a lot more money selling sealed boxes than I do selling rookie cards.
Thank you for this video bro! Been waiting for this!
Let me know if you want me to expand on this…thank you.
Can you do a video describing the similarities and differences between Timmys, Kimmys, Poindexters,idiots and morons?
I would love to know where i stand.
20 years from now 99.9% of the modern cards will end up in 2nd hand stores next to the costume jewelry and milk glass. Unless you have something like a high grade 86 Fleer Jordan, 90 Frank Thomas NNOF, or a key Tom Brady/Lebron RC, most all of that stuff will be tomorrows junk.
Everybody is going to win the lottery -even if they play or not -
I think sealed trading cards (& cryptocurrencies) are being used to make large asymmetrical bets, such that even if they realize substantial losses, the person opening the booster box (or selling the cryptocurrency at a loss) has a strategy to use that for tax advantages for that particular year.
2:43 uh .. hi Shawn from 2 months ago - I'm from 2 months later.. yeah that's kinda happening rn lol
