    Basketball prices still insane?

    I dunno. Most mass produced RCs are selling for less than half they were going for during the peak. So you don't need to pay anywhere near $50 for a Topps Shaq RC anymore. Even RCs of current stars like Durant & Doncic have softened. Hoops and Donruss Doncic RCs for example were going over $100...

    How much is your collection worth?

    If you'd ask pre covid, I'd say around $5,000. Now it's more like $10-15K and most of the value is from basketball despite being around 20% of my collection. Though the prices are starting to come down some. I guess people are wising up after buying paper Hoops and Donruss RCs of Luka Doncic for...

    COMC - Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales?

    Even with their discount prices, I found the cards I was interested to still be way above EBAY. So that was some sale. I ended up buying a mere 5 cards and none were baseball. I guess nobody likes rare Keyshawn Johnson inserts. So those were obtainable at least.

    PSA - Retail at Walmart West-Central Minnesota

    That's way better than my Walmart. Last I checked a couple weeks ago, they had a 2021 Topps Set, a handful of 2021 Topps Chrome WWE blasters, and some college basketball junk. That's it.

    Hobby box of 2021 Topps Archives.

    This is currently my favorite product and am just glad it finally came out this year. So let's get right into the highlights... Main RCs: I don't even know who they are but I pulled Adell, Hayes, and Kelenic among others. 1963 Topps Peel Offs: F. Tatis Jr, J. Kelenic, A. Bohm, R. Acuna Jr, A...

    CASE BREAK ON 2021 TOPPS ARCHIVES BASEBALL

    Dang, those autos are rough. Maybe I should stick with retail. I don't want to pay an extra $50 just for a couple of scrub autos.

    Precious Metal Gems Thread

    I bought a 98 Damion Easley a few years ago just to see what they looked like. If I ever unload it, you'll be the first to know. I'm bummed they never did the green/red PMGs for baseball.

    Edge at 19

    I currently live in the same town as Edge. Asheville, NC. And in unrelated news, Panini is getting the WWE license in 2022. Ugh.

    Astros vs Braves: Who You Got?

    I wonder if the injury to Morton changed your predictions. I'm late to the party, but I'm going Astros in 7. Want the Braves to win though.

    2 blasters of 2021 Topps Chrome.

    So I found these at Walgreens of all places. I just got my vaccine and behold there were 4 boxes of this at the checkout. Since I haven't found any retail since like forever, I decided to get a couple. RCs: 6 total Regular Refractor: R. Odor, A. Meadows, L. Gurriel, J. Flaherty Prism Refractor...

    Topps Chrome 4 Blaster break.

    Nice looking inserts as usual. I could do without the jillion parallels though.

    Time travel - AKA, I wish I was smart in 1998

    Nah, I'd go back to 1997 and bust open cases of Fleer & Ultra to pull rookies of that David Arias guy. And keep some of those cool looking inserts, too.

    Hobby Status Update

    Most of the stupidity is with current unopened product and especially basketball and football. I remember being able to get $5-10 worth of cards out of $20 blasters, and now you will get the same $5-10 worth of cards out of $60 blasters.

    Is Topps Big League & Archives ever coming out this year?

    I'm a fan of those retro styled products and Heritage is the only product I've busted all year. I've been looking forward for a budget friendly Big League brand and especially Archives but at this rate the season will be over before these are released.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Sweet. I own a Big Hurt that's hiding somewhere. Easily my favorite insert from 2000.

    4 HOBBY BOX BREAK ON 2021 TOPPS CHROME BASEBALL

    How much did these boxes cost this year? And pull any nice looking inserts? Chrome is one of the few brands that still has a 90s inserts vibe to them.

    Topps Chrome “Lite” boxes…

    Ugh, I'll just stick with singles.

    Is this really the current state of the "hobby" card shop?

    I just stumbled across this depressing video and the last time I visited a card shop was pre covid. I don't know if this the norm now or not. If it is, at least I know where all the retail product ends up.

    Fanatics to take over MLB trading card license?

    For the love of God, why?

    The National - (Chicago, IL) thread

    Apparently some group breaker pulled a 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout black parallel from a pack and was oblivious to what he had. Just shows the current state of this hobby.

    set builders .. what's your best set

    1983-85 Donruss, Fleer, Topps sets (OK, I didn't build these sets, but bought them complete) I also like those small food issue auto sets from the 90s. I did build these one at a time. 1995 Jimmy Dean (J.Hunter, A.Kaline, B.Williams) 1997 Jimmy Dean (Y.Berra, B.Robinson) 1995 Tombstone Pizza...

    Frank Thomas 1990 “Coke” Rookie Card History/Rarity

    Also, I think these cards are slightly wider than standard ones. I remember trying to put the Thomas in a penny sleeve and the card wouldn't fit.

    Frank Thomas 1990 “Coke” Rookie Card History/Rarity

    I doubt it's THAT rare considering I own one. I bought a set around 5 years ago for $30 solely for this card. There's a few Sosas from the set currently on ebay. That said, I always was curious about the print run. I'm guessing between 20k and 50k which is still tough for that era. There's an...

    Will this year's National break 1991 Attendance Record?

    Will the show break the record for marked up retail? That's my biggest concern.

    Yeah, I'm not clicking that.
