See if you have New Mutants 98 or the Batman Adventures with the first Harley Quinn. Plus early Venoms, of course.Two things I should probably dig out of the closet and assess the value of: '80s sports card collection, and late '80s early '90s comic books. The comic books probably have some gems in there (earliest Venom appearances, probably have most if not all of the first few years of Spawn, and so on).
Well, they raised the prices on retail.
Thank the flippers for that one.
Last year around this time I sold four McDavid Cup rookies for a lot of money to one guy. A couple days ago he asked me if I wanted them back and I politely said “lol, **** no”.
And just like that, the greed of the pump and dumpers completely brought this hobby back into the stone ages.
Half of my followers on tiktok were card guys
Tiktok and the “investors “ ruined this hobby.
I blame these influencers on social media.
Wait til next year when you can buy directly from fanatics.Retail prices are crazy. Went to Walmart today. $35 blasters, $15 cellos. They had more WWE prizm from earlier in the year but ebay prices are cheaper.
Well, I wasn’t an investor @FozzyBear i was first and foremost a collector from the early 80’s. I saw first hand as a child the scum bags of this hobby and decided I’d never stoop to those levels, ever. And I never did.
When the McDavid sale came thru, I wasn’t even trying to sell and the guy told me what was my price and I said as a joke a million. HE was the one who came up with a number close to that and I would have been stupid not to accept it for pieces of cardboard. That’s on him.
I made a shit ton of money during the pandemic because I had that shit the idiot investors were pumping up and sold it cheaper then everyone else because I knew the numbers wernt sustainable. I had cases of the shit.
If you were in this hobby before the pandemic you knew that cash grab wasn’t going to last. Curry low numbered cards were selling at 100k and are now hovering under 10k. That, was the “investor” idiots who came around acting like sports cards were stocks or real estate.
And here’s a funny story, I actually did a card show in the Midwest a few months ago on the tale end of the cash grab era and was the only person who made money. I was between a tiktok “influencer” and some idiot who had over priced shit that just came out. THEY were the ones complaining I was hurting THEM when I was selling trout rookies for 200 and they were asking for 1500. **** them. I lose no sleep over complete idiots who invested in baseball cards thinking they were gonna retire off them. That’s never going to happen unless you have graded key vintage and you paid the eight bucks 30 years ago to get your card graded. You need money to make money and your making very little off the amount you spend.
Dropped it a follow from my cannabis Instagram page lolMy son in laws sports card company.
Bruh, that was Upper Deck who pulled that shit.From the 80s you say. Member what 89 upperdeck n griffey did to the market, industry and the scum that brought to the collecting game. you fucks killed my innocent wax pack bubble gum collecting dreams
Bruh, that was Upper Deck who pulled that shit.
Open secret they were producing 89 upper deck until the end of 1990.
Before grading took over I bought a lot of 20 Griffeys for a hundo. I might still have them in a box somewhere if you really want one.
