Anyone Collect Sports Cards?

[WASHED KING]

As an LA native - never heard of Cool Kicks so I did a quick search...

Don’t really know how I feel about a sneaker resell shop branching off to cards tbh.

Couldn’t agree more AND to put it on Melrose is a joke lol

Not surprising. Cards are being overrun by these cornballs.

I don’t have any problems with people making money off of what they enjoy doing. I buy and sell shoes and cards. But 9 times out of 10 I’m pooling that money into getting more shoes and cards.

I think that’s one of the best ways to be productive at work is when you enjoy doing it.

But these resell cats only care about the $$$.

Get your money, sure, simple supply and demand. But coming out of the bullpen and ready to throw the first punch is jokes to me.

Not a huge collector but I do tend to buy what interest me. As a Lakers, Cardinals, Dolphins fan I hunt for cards to add to my little sports collection section. Not much of value just cards I’ve collected in the past.

I know how I feel. I think it's dumb and they won't last because if they're simply focusing on card chasing for profit and not building an actual client base that card collects, they'll be out of business when the market cools off.

 

[Fozz]

I'm hoping my Luis Robert parallel sells close to the previous listings.

7hrs left lol

Exactly...if you're only catering in to customers who want to buy cards with the intention of flipping it later. Once that opportunity to flip later they will be out. There has to be an end consumer. You want to market to the guys that plan on liking sports cards, and memorabilia for the long haul.

Also has anyone else noticed how hard it is to track down Michael Vick rookies? My god I had no idea the pop reports were so tiny.

I mean, I think it's cool that a old school hobby like sports cards are hyped right now. But I just find it odd how sportscard shops are having difficulty getting product to sell in their store when they've been in business for years and years.

Fozz let me know if I should bid

There are two other BIN listings for $1200 and $1800.

The last card sold for $1005.

I want to believe the big bids will begin popping up in the final 3 hours. If not, I'm okay with where it's at...I"ll have to be lolol.

Yea of course its great...and from what I hear. It has everything to do with the distributors. Breakers are the ones getting the majority of the product not actual LCS's.

I pulled that out of a Series 2 Blaster box. I thought it was a whatever parallel. But when I looked it up previous sales, I thought wrong lol/

Yeah, I was surprised that he had a youtube channel.

Made sense how he was opening up cases of Bowman Sapphire like it was nothing lol

Overrated bastard that amounted to nothing on the mound. Hated how he was untouchable on the trading block because the Yankees expected great things from him.
