Trading cards?

[marskicks]

I’ve notice a rise in trading cards at least from people within the sneaker community. Specifically basketball. Is there any collectors out there? I’m looking to start up myself.

Any card collectors out there???????

For a good 2/3 of my life, this was heaven: When I was a kid me and my dad attended one of these card shows every other weekend. We usually bought a couple of packs every week, baseball, football, basketball. I remember buying Post cereals, Mother's Cookies, Duracell batteries, Hostess...

I know someone who did exactly that with Jose Canseco's '86 Donruss. He bought 100 of them when they were maybe a couple bucks. Jose followed that up with the 40/40 season and then a World Series, this card was well over a hundred dollars a piece. 200-250 dollar investment, to over 10...

One of my employees is a major card collector. He has over 400k in his personal collection and even more memorabilia that he sells and trades

basically knows everything there is to know about cards, card companies, card values, etc. dude gets so deep in this ****. He brings in printing plates and ****. Autographed 1of1 cards with game worn pieces of jerseys.

last week he showed me a joe burrow 1 of 1 autographed Card. Won it in a raffle. Paid $30 for the raffle spot. Sold the card for $5,000 on eBay. winner paid him within 30 seconds

He’s a cool dude though. He owns tons of Kobe stuff and refused to sell any of it when Kobe died, even though its worth a small fortune. Didn’t wanna profit from someone’s death.

I think it’s too late in life to start up something like that but I always thought that was cool. At least with cards, you have a connection to the sport or the players you know? Can read the stats. Can think about where you were the year it came out and what teams were good. It’s much cooler than just collecting a random object.

Saw a documentary on netflix pretty much saying Sports Trading cards were a scam.
