This is just one opinion from a long time collector that has gotten out of the hobby for the past 15 years. Once in a while I miss the fun of pack busting. I have a huge Andy Van Slyke collection (among others) that I built largely through online trading, card shows and occasionally getting lucky with packs. Putting a collection together that way was a blast. I got older and technology allowed me to just click/buy anything that I wanted. Obscure, rare, stuff that was harder to find.... became as simple as a few clicks and it was mine. This collecting bug for many of us was not about what we had.... but about what we were trying to find and acquire. Its not very satisfying - IMO - to just buy everything without having to hunt, wait, or get lucky. Its not the destination, its the journey! I remember going to card shows, hunting for Andy Van Slyke cards. (rarely an expensive pursuit) I'd leave the show with 20-25 new ones, costing me 8 bucks total, and being thrilled at each find. That's what I miss. I have a bunch of stupid parallels and weird variation or regional cards to get now to finish my Van Slyke checklist, all certainly valid entries to my collection... but given the cost of them, the joyless process of paying cash for something easily obtained....... its hard to get motivated to do it. It was more fun getting Van Slykes than having Van Slykes if that makes any sense.

Watched this when I first started collecting several months ago. Wached it again just now (a year after it was posted). Makes me re-examine my collecting goals and focus. I realize I enjoy making sets not for investment but just for the fun of it. As a new collector it's been fun to see the collection grow and change as I learn more. The other day I soent 6 hours to whittle down my collection and gave 2/3rds of it away. For me, that was fun spending time with the cards. Thanks for the vid!

My Collecting Mistakes as a new collector: Not budgeting - spending on impulse and spending more than you thought you would. Not realizing the 2 reasons for collecting - entertainment and investing, and confusing the 2. Buying just to buy without thoroughly enjoying the purchase. Buying cards without a clear focus for the collection. Not spending enough time with the cards you do have before buying more.

I am new to the hobby, I just posted an above comment on the "categories" I would like to collect. However I do enjoy opening a new pack but that could be the beginners buzz. I have read NOT to buy the small packs at local stores if you have a desired goal, but to just buy the cards you want directly. I guess what I am asking is, what would be a good reason to buy the packs you see at target or walmart or anything like that?
@darrensmalley3966
@darrensmalley3966 7 жыл бұрын
Ryan Quinn - I determined that buying small retail packs is good to simply see what the base card design is like. I would buy them to see if I would like to buy the higher end products of a certain brand. When I first collected, I wish I had bought one small pack of each product first before deciding on one brand to focus on. For me, set building is enjoyable, so that is my answer. Others who have different collection goals would answer differently. Carboardconnection.com has great articles on collecting. Enjoy the hobby!

Yes I'm the victim of the Junk era. But I have to admit, I wouldn't trade those years for anything. As a kid, buying those packs, chasing the UD Griffey or the Jerome Walton face profile card, or the Murphy reverse card... etc ...etc. The point was, that we were all hoping those cards will bring so much money in 20-40 years. Now that I'm back in the game, I've learnt a few things over the years. Before I drift off too far, I like to comment you (both of you) on your love for the game. I've watched a lot of your videos and i can still see that you two still have that fire and desires. As for me, after over 20 years later, I see this game as more of an investment. I came up a fool proof method that will guarantee at lease my money back (of course minus the inflation). At this point, if I chose to liquidate I would quadruple my money. BUT THE POINT IS, I don't even look at these cards anymore. When I get them in the mail and after a few mandatory cross references, they go directly into storage. Perhaps due to other obligations and priorities. So, I do have mad respect for you both. KEEP UP THE GOOD GAME.

Like many collectors, I grew up in the 80’s and saw the boom and crash in the early 90’s with my collection. It was still a great lesson in supply and demand. I’m interested in getting back into collecting as my focus would be 1980’s PSA graded rookies of the 4 sports. 1981 Topps Montana, 1989 UD Griffey, 1986 Fleer Barkley, etc. It looks like PSA 8 is in my price range for most of these rookie cards as PSA 9 is alittle out of my range and PSA 10 is not even on my radar. Is it worth it to have a collection of PSA 8’s from that era? I’m collecting for the fun again, but obviously I still want them to hold their value as I know they won’t appreciate much. I do worry PSA 9’s and 10’s rookies are overvalued in this market, but I could be wrong? Interested on your opinions?
@BaseballCardJunkiesTV
@BaseballCardJunkiesTV 6 жыл бұрын
The price of the higher grades is partly driven by the completive nature of the collectors in the set registries. Buy the card not the grade, 8's are a great collector grade and you can get much more bang for your buck.

Yes u certainly can. The cards from those stores are the same as any high end place. The difference is that the packaging they come in might be less likely for u to hit a rare card. If u want a rare card it's easier and maybe even cheaper to just buy that specific card online.

Great video!! I collected as a child, now I'm 34 I collected Don mattingly only, in late 90's early 2000's I was out of the loop, but got back into it here+there, life happens and slowed down collecting, now over the past 10 years I been collecting a lot! How do you guys feel about 1/1's 1/5's etc...? I try to always grab all number ones if possible in autos, (if the condition is mint). In my hay day I always thought I would be able to obtain every mattingly card, until they started making all the 1/1 cards, no way one person will own them all. I also will just pay! If it's what I want price wouldn't matter. So question on my mattingly collection, my goal is to try TRY lol to get the run in all types and brands that I like. Ex. get all the signature series colors, try to get all topps museum auto colors etc. mattingly is still very very sought after!! You guys have way more expierence in modern new era cards. Is this the way to go? I would really like every single mattingly made, but that won't happen I know this. I have 1/1's so know other mattingly collector are in same boat as I am. Would just like your thoughts. I will be making a video soon of a mattingly room with almost all my cards. (Recently bought house with extra room for that reason. Lol) thanks guys sorry for long comment. Thank you

Well, I totally agree - if you want a card then just buy it - don't go out and spend tons of money on boxes if you're only looking for one card. Now on the flip side of that you can always but a product, break it and maybe you will but if you don't there are numerous message boards online where people trade all the time. So you may not pull what you're looking for but you will certainly (usually) will pull something someone else wants and you can trade. That's what I do because I enjoy breaking product and I have good luck as far as value and in most circumstances you'll get your value out of the product, you may just not get the cards you want - but that's why we trade, that's what the hobby's about... And yes try to buy hobby unless you're looking for format exclusives.

Thanks for the great video! I have a couple questions. I collect Cincinnati Reds team sets from Topps. Should I focus on chrome cards or regular series 1,2, update cards. I personally don't like the look of chrome cards but wondering if they are that much more desirable. Is a bowman RC better than a Topps RC or vice versa? Thanks! I'm subscribed now.

+Jacob Burress chrome is more desirable in the hobby, but, that being said, if you don't like the look of chrome then don't collect it. This hobby is so personal... you are going to look through your collection more than anyone, and what's the point of looking through something you don't like...? Generally speaking, with modern rookie year cards (that have a RC label), the topps cards tend to be more popular, if only because bowman already has cards featuring players from prior years. Usually the really hot card will be a parallel of an earlier bowman card. Hope that helps! ~Eric "Titanic Taters"

Other than sentimental value, is there any other reason to still collect such players? 2. Is there a difference in value between the sticker autographs and the on card one's, and are the sticker one's worth investing in? Thanks in advance, great channel! :)

I personally PC Mcgwire, and Nate's PC is Bonds... While we are labeled "super collectors" as far as those two players go, there certainly is merit to still collecting those players, ESPECIALLY key rookies, rare inserts/parallels and autographs... even early game used materials (pre 2003-2004). For example, all of their KEY rookie cards graded PSA 9 (or even better: PSA 10) fetch pretty handsome sums (I bought my 1985 Topps Tiffany McGwire RC for around $90 about 3 years ago, an example of that same card sold for $290 on Dec 2, 2017 on ebay, and sold for over $500 in October 2017 TWICE). Rare 90s inserts of these players also sell very VERY well. Both of these examples are HOT in the hobby right now. Depending on the type of sticker auto, some can still be very attractive to buyers, but as a general rule: on card autos are more sought after

Thank you for the great video! I am new to the hobby and am getting into it just for fun and build my own collection. With a few exceptions, I don't plan on buying high end cards so to speak (yet). I want a binder of every yrs: World Series 25 man team, AL/NL All Star starting lineups/ pitchers and AL/NL rookie/MVP. Are these "categories" a waste of time? I do know they sell World Series team packs at the end of the season. Also, I found the "Topps Now" cards interesting to keep cards of milestone moments for players and the game. (For example, I have become a huge Aron Judge fanatic and would like the cards they make if and when he breaks the rookie HR record.) Are there other cards out there that capture "moments"? Other than that, I want to collect all things Yankees and Cardinals as that is mine and my Fiance's favorite teams. g As well as any hall of famer's from around the league. I plan on only buying "Topps" as of right now and have gotten the series 1 and 2 packs. Should I be buying something else to improve my desired collection? Any tips would be great.

If you were to grade cards who would you prefer, Beckett or psa? I've watched the packers guy videos on psa vs. Beckett so I was just curious of your input on getting cards graded. I have a whole slew of mattinglys that I wanna send out. (autos, game used, jumbos, and 1/1's) I have some graded already from both sides Beckett and psa. I like the way they both seal their cards, Beckett seems a little harder to get gem mints. From what I see is psa grades is more sought after than Beckett grades.however Beckett gives a price on graded cards through them. They don't list psa graded card prices. It would be nice if psa and Beckett would combine their graded cards for better pricing and population reports. I have a few psa gem 10 mattingly autos that are population 1. THROUGH PSA. Does Beckett have one of these autos as a gem 10 I don't know. That's why it would be nice if they combined them together so we as collectors would know both sides Beckett and psa.

I've been collecting for 30 years using screwdowns and then stored inside thick custom boxes that I line with good quality Styrofoam. I have both vintage and the newer thick auto-relic cards ...and of course I use the proper thickness holders. I haven't ever had any negative issues so far, other than with refractors sleeved and put in top loaders, but that's another topic. But I've heard "somewhere" ...that it's not good to store cards in screwdowns. Soooo... I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. And if you'd be so kind as to suggest the best way to store refractor sets too? Thanks a lot.

@BaseballCardJunkiesTV
@BaseballCardJunkiesTV 8 жыл бұрын
Casey Walker honestly, it's all pretty much the same. there is an equivalent with football and basketball for everything in baseball... you'll have your high value stuff and your low value stuff just the same. Panini is popular with football and basketball, while Topps is popular for baseball. if we are talking "investment" collecting for baseball, I'd recommend vintage cards (anything issued 1980 or earlier) that are graded at a 7 or better (PSA or SGC), then once you get down to cards in the 1950s and earlier, depending on the player, you can go lower on the grades. for some, even a PSA 1 will have a decent resale value. for modern cards the HIGH grade 1980s and 1990s rookies of star players are doing well, and we are talking PSA or BGS 10 pristine grades. for cards in the last 10-15 years, it's tough to say because the values fluctuate so much depending on the player's actual production... in 2015 Bryce Harper was SUPER hot, but now it seems like you can't even GIVE AWAY his cards. I'd say that unless you are doing high end product, and the player is doing well, there is very little profit in ANY modern cards, no matter what sport you collect. If you are just collecting for fun and enjoyment, just collect what you want and what is eye appealing to you... If you are a player collector and love the hunt, go for products that have lots of parallels (Panini Prizm and almost any offering from Topps), if you build sets, then just pick a product that looks good to you and fits your price range. I hope that helps. thanks for watching! ~Eric "Titanic Taters"

I got a plastic bin/tub full of loose cards for $50.. There is also a binder & in it i know of 3 cards alone which are worth $200 together after grading of course.. which I likely won't bother with lmao..

hello good fellows, hey i have a question that id really like ur guys opinion on.... I'm pretty sure u might know what i mean when i mention this and that being all these 22kt. , 23kt., 24kt., gold and gold foil etched sports trading cards i see sum that are legitimately from a big brand co. like fleer or topps, then i see sum from like the Danbury mint or highland mint, theen their i see sum that have been graded by an authendicator that are reprints of a big name players rookie card but the manufactuer of the card is unknown even though they are individually numbered and certified and graded by an authendicator. thanks for reading and would appreciate urs thoughts on this subject, heck who knows maybe u can maybe post a vid explaining these cards and ur guys thoughts on them, thanks u 2 guys stay cool and have fun no matter what u collect brothers.

Great question on the gold cards. For the most part they are unlicensed cards made as a novelty item, not worth anything but they are cool for player collectors.

Depends on what you're trying to do. Are you collecting, buying & selling, flipping, investing, or combination of all?

I'm assuming "Topps85401" refers to the 1985 Topps #401 (Mark McGwire's Olympic rookie), since you're a McGwire fan. :)
