I started collecting last year for the first time. I had no real goal in mind and it really became over whelming with all the diferent types of cards out there, not to mention the cost. So now I'm looking at focusing my collecting to a specific team and I'm going to narrow my focus from there. Your video gave me plenty of things to think about. I really appreciate your video and I beleive it is going to help me develop an interesting and fun collection. Thanks!

You have the same worthless cards that I have....

Still doing Razz or more likely 'Draft' right now coz as you explained, all spots will have their own cards, no losers, all winners. However, the value of the last pick might have no value at all.

You’re a pirates fan? Finally someone to share the misery…….

if this is funny 👇

A very helpful video for all card collection beginner like me, thanks a lot!

Great info! thank you man!

Thanks bro.. just started collecting again from the 90s

Thanks for the video ! Very informative !

Why not put them into a spreadsheet? You can download most of the basic information from PSA and then add columns for "HAVE", "TEAM" "YEAR", etc. Then you can quickly search for desired groupings (Dodgers, Jackie Robinson, etc.)

Great video. Did you end up putting all manufacturer together by year, or using year followed by manufacturer as the master sort layer.

You earned this!

Just getting into the hobby. I absolutely ❤ this video! So helpful!! Wouldn’t mind a part 2. There’s so much to learn! lol

@ParlayJaySports do you still collect?

Cool video! Just gotta get rid of that annoying music 😩

What does it mean when someone comments W on your for sale post

Great video. Although I think you may be overestimating the desire for sub-grading. Especially now that the eBay Vault is soon to become the PSA vault. Personally I only consider buying cards graded by PSA.

Hello there, When I bought a trading cards I do is i look at the trading cards number on the back of them.. It's easy way for me to do.

Thank you

Since we don't have a prominent local team here in Louisiana, I started collecting my favorite LSU players who have played in the Majors. It gives me a chance to follow more teams as a baseball fan.

Thank you from Vancouver Island Canada. Just retired and I am starting to acquire sports cards. Just like when I was a young boy and I am enjoying it. Great tips to begin my collections. Cheers Wallace from Canada!

And all yrs

So only topps have short print or all kinds

This video did not help

Dude I went to that cardboard connection nothing shows what you was taking about

Ok you telling us horizontal is a short print but I have alot of them why don't they just put sp so you taking didn't help me at all

Sell them overseas for cheap, assuming someone pays S&H. Those old latin players of the junk wax era would be a hit in Puerto Rico

Awesome sets - both beautiful! I chose to build 56 instead of 55 due to 56 had mantle and Campanella!

I am a 52 year old lady! My husband put a KZbin video on the other day and I kept telling him I had certain cards that they were showing. He didn’t believe me so I got my collection out and now I’m feeling like a 10 year old again obsessing over my cards. I have started trying to sort my collection in the best way. I appreciate your video to give me some ideas!

Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. You are easy to follow along with and understand.

I don’t look at sorting my cards as a hassle. I actually enjoy sorting my collection. I sort each player in alphabetical order. Once you do that, it is very easy to add new additions.

Garbage?

Yep I'm from the junk wax era and getting back into it and I'll tell ya its like coming out of baseball card prison it's all whole new scene.

THANK YOU ! 2024!

THANK YOU! 2024!!

Donating to kids/children's hospital is genius! Thanks for this idea

Also someone gets the card out of those 10 people 😊

Sad that this has been viewed less. It was the most helpful video I have watched in about 200 hours of videos. Have someone help you retitle it and. Key word it. It is the best one I have seen.

I took my old cards my Donruss blue cards from the 1980s and do autographs through the mail. I’ve gotten about 40 autographs from 90s players and made a book.

I have zero knowledge on cards at all, but I did run across 7 unopened boxes of these exact cards. Also one unopened 1994 box of Pinnacle cards🤷🏾‍♂️

I like doing early-mid 90s master sets (regular and all insert sets), especially Fleer/Ultra! That's some really fun "set building"!

I agree with most recommendations except I think it’s alway best to sort sets in card order (e.g. 1 - 700). It’s easiest to work by 10s and lay out a grid. Then you can order each set of ten (dups together) and get the full sequence. This is the easiest way to determine what’s missing for a full set, and it’s easy enough to look up the numbers for the key cards in each set they may need to be pulled for special storage.

Jay, I needed this badly. . . I will continue to refer to this video in the coming weeks.

This did not help

Another awesome video, there's not many people I like listening to on KZbin, but yours are good, they make sense and it's really good advice , this video in particular I thought about myself lots of times it's nice to know someone else thought about the same thing!

Great video nice to finally listen to someone that makes sense!

I put them in team bags by team 20-30 cards. Put a well-known player on top and bottom and sell them for $2 at my garage sales.

I make coasters with my commons. I cut a 4 x 4, sand and stain it. I then cut the card to size and glue it. Finally I modge podge it and put a couple of layers of polyurethane on it. I also use commons for TTM autographs. If they come back signed, great. If they don’t return then it’s not a big deal.

I’ve always believed sorting and organizing cards is what makes a collection without it you just have an accumulation of cards. Instead of sorting cards by team, I sort them by card number. You provide us with good sound advice!
