I agree. Once you sink a ton of money into cards that could have been put into better investments you have to tell yourself it's an investment or you'll feel like a moron.

The problem is a lot of these channels with so many viewers and subscribers are linked to a lot of companies so whatever’s “popular” is what they push. They feed the narrative on what’s supposed to be “good” and then everyone follows like sheep.
@elcoyote22563 ай бұрын
Preach on, my grumpy, old, brother man! As a collector nearing 50 years old, I agree with you on your view points. As far as the card cleaning goes; Some people are suggesting that the grading companies should have a "restored" label on the graded cards that have been cleaned. And while that seems like a good idea on the surface, they don't take into account that collectors may get a raw card not knowing that it has been cleaned. They can label a graded card as restored/cleaned, but raw cards cannot be labeled as such. I'm an old school, raw card collector and I WOULD NOT want to buy a cleaned up card in any which way shape or form. So basically, what are your thoughts on the "restored" label being put on graded cards? Also, I have always thought that Geoff Wilson is bad for the hobby. I wish he'd just go away... He's the poster boy for "stupidity"-- Him and his funny looking hair and ferret looking face ...

I’m old enough to remember the late 80s and early 90s when I heard cards being investments for the first time. This is when Beckett the pricing magazine really got their start too. There was suddenly a feeding frenzy that fueled what we now call the junk wax era. Everything fell off after that, lots of consolidation occurred and now we are seeing the same story repeat all over again. Can’t wait.

I hate to say it...but I do get a morbid enjoyment out of watching on-coming train wrecks specifically when the engineer(s) is a DOLT like SO of these "influencer's" (of which Paul is NOT). I think back in those days however, dealers were making it out like EVERY single card and every single set was going to pay for your child's college education. I think most people now do know most cards are just .....well......worthless (no doubt there's a lot of vintage cards that ARE worth some money....but hell, there's a ton of vintage commons that are still only worth $3 to $5 each). I've seen what some people have paid for some of these ultra-modern cards......I think they are all going to lose their asses...on those BETS. (not investments....BETS).

With all due respect, you're one of the VERY few sports card yutubers that ACTUALLY DO respect the hobby...but for the intrinsic fun and enjoyment of it...and that's it. ....which is the WAY everyone should treat it. You show respect by trying to keep it clean, honest safe, enjoyable, and real. You rarely ever talk about the money end of it and how to "make a buck" off of it....and that's they way it should be.

To be fair, Santiago had to grind like most new shops in the begining, same with Up North Collectors, and I am sure many more. Now are there some that do get more than others that are "newer" shops, probably true whwn you compare shop to shop. And buying on secondary market is what a lot of people do to get started. To make money, it takes a lot of work. No easy way kids, remember that!
@vintagesportsshack3 ай бұрын
I don't know up north collectors. But my point is, if topps just printed cards and didn't want to control the process they could allocate more and have a card shop in every town over 15k people
