Anyone Collect Sports Cards?

[sole searchin]

If anyone’s looking for Topps Chrome and has basketball and prefers to trade, lmk.

I know the preference is basketball but I’d be willing to trade at retail value.

Good luck hunting today! Should be lots of restocks today since Pokemon releases today.

What is happening in the sports card market?

I purchased a couple of kobe PSA 10 rookie cards about two months ago for $700 a pop.

I just checked Ebay a few days ago and those cards are going for $4k or more.

Guess I got lucky.

Probably my biggest regret, was saving up for a BGS 10 but now it’s completely out of reach. Honestly, no one knew PSA 10 copies would explode up to $5k in a matter of weeks and I think the price will stay. Kobe has been undervalued for so long so we’re seeing market correction at its best.

I think his Score Board base Lower Merion Rookies will follow. Low population and it’s unique. Upperdeck were able to produce Lebron and Jordan college/HS cards until 2013 but I dont think Panini ever offered Kobe in high school uni’s.

His cheapest rookie card to date is still the UpperDeck Collectors choice. I think that card has massive room for growth as well.

who’s everyone targeting non playoff wise while prices are low/dipping?

I have a small Cam Reddish PC that I started during the bubble. I’m also going for RJB, Anfernee Simons and 1st year Optics.

I think Team color matching Prizms are gaining notice, so that may be the move for me if it’s discounted (Blue Prizm Barrett, Red Prizm Reddish/Hunter/Simons).

With the exception of 1st year Optics, these are all short term for me though, will flip the moment they have a stellar month.

Missed my 1st Walmart by about 20 minutes because I couldn’t find my keys this morning.
But ole reliable came through.

Dope! I started a Cam Reddish pc too.

Couple swoops:
Red prizm Mosaic

Red Phoenix /149

Love that Red Mosaic bruh.Cam’s measurables is great and he was trending upwards. Higher than Trey (2 way wing player) if he reaches his potential.

As a Dukie - love the Cam love

I unloaded all my sports cards & comics pre-pandamic last year, held them for over 25 yrs and my son has zero interest in any material items

March 2019

Yea the sudden jump in price of the Kobe Topps RC has been the talk of the hobby

As much as I love the chrome, the greening issues have pushed many towards the Topps.

In a Slab, the Topps looks great.

[marskicks]

I want some more chrome to rip! Bought a single blasted on resell and pulled a Lou Bob!

Also today was mail day got in one of my grails!

 

[br0keballer]

Been awhile since I posted my pickups. Got my Psa graded cards in today along with two weeks mail pickups. Enjoy.

was Hoping for a psa 8 on the lebron but I may re sub it again. Shocked I got a 10 on the mahomes. That will stay in my collection forever.
My Luka collection starting to look real nice. At about 60 Luka Rookies to date. Pictured is what I’ve obtained in the past month. Except for the three psa 10 prizms I already had and the auto.

retail card experience has turned into sneaker release day lines

the only part is no guarantee the vendor is stocking that day (unless you got insider intel)

 

[fahqu001]

Curious when Wally World’s And Target’s will just tell fools like that to wait outside or change procedures if people start to become a nuisance? They’re literally taking up a checkout line and chilling there with a chair lol.

Never camped for shoes, and I will be damned to do it for cards. My time is more valuable than trying sitting there for hours. Some teenager crap right there.

I just told my bro this. Lining up for sneakers used to be fun and terrible at the same time lol.

Agree. I’d feel like such a ******* sitting there. Always felt the same way about shoes too. I’m a grown man for Christ’s sake. Don’t have time to sit and wait for cards at a ******* Walmart. There’s thousands of other things I’d rather be doing .
