I won't be buying Topps from their new parent company, Fanatics. I ordered 2 boxes of baseball card packs from them and they crammed the boxes is a box that barely fit and a small piece of paper. The boxes came bent and dinged up. The cards inside came damaged and I will NEVER spend a red cent on a card from them. They showed they don't care about the hobby and just trying to profit off of it. Also the 1989 packs DO NOT have the Ken Griffey Jr. rookie. That would be in the 1989 Topps Traded set they did at the end of the year in set form ONLY. Whoever says that do not know the hobby.

We had a lot of fun collecting and trading cards in the early and mid 80's. We really thought all these cards and full sets would be a great investment. There were some card shops that did pretty well in my town of Greenville, SC. Still, even some cards I bought from the 60's and 70's are worth a whole lot more than what I originally paid for them. It's good card values have gone up but I haven't really run across too many in the younger generations that value baseball cards. I imagine I could sell my entire collection for maybe a 200-300 dollars and I would say at one point in the 80's my cards would have been valued at 4-5K. You can see people trying to unload their entire collection on Ebay for anywhere from 50-300 bucks.

Topps needs to be careful, because as in the late 90 to the 2000's, the market became oversaturated with TOO much product and companies folded. But, Topps remained. It may not happen again this time, but now with NFT's, collecting may be out of reach for the average collector, who just wants to collect for the hobby and not for the wealthy, after-market. It seems that anyone getting into card-collecting now is in it primarily for the business of focusing on cards for their pristine condition and it's re-salability. Already a pack of cards is waaay overpriced for so few cards. Will it eventually become a hobby for only the wealthy?

I love trading cards and have been colleting off and on (mostly on) for over 42 years. I collect mainly non-sports, but do dabble a little bit in sports. My oldest cards are from Tabaco and date back to the 1880's, and all the way to present day. I would say I have at least a million trading cards. My collection is mostly organized, but is currently out of control due to life happening. Currently I cannot find my most valuable trading card. The sports I collect are mainly from the late 70's to mid 80's. I worked in a sports card shop when I was a teenager in the 80's. I will have to admit even though I love Topps the (1977 Star Wars being my favorite) 1981, and 1982 Donruss baseball are my favorite sports sets. I also collect comic books, Action figures, diecast, and vintage toys.

@@ChosenOne6666 Why would anyone want a real dollar bill instead of a replica? Because the replica doesn't hold the same value. It really is a simple concept. Buying and selling sports cards is a completely legitimate way of making money. I just got into card collecting a few months ago. I take many things into account before buying a card. Those things include: How many were printed, the player's individual stats, whether they are on a good team, previous prices, injury history, and many other factors. As a result of me making informed purchases, most of the cards I bought are now worth much more than what I initially bought them for. Even if it seems crazy to spend a million dollars on a card, that card could potentially be worth 3 million in 2 years. A great example is the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card. In December 2019, the Michael Jordan rookie was worth $32,000. You probably think it would be crazy to buy a card for that much, but just 8 months later in August 2020, that same card sold in auction for $420,000.
