Great opening. I think retail took it this time with the Lamelo RWB and the Cade variation. Hobby had some good pulls, but not enough today. Thanks for the shout-out again and the feature card up top.

Great stuff! Can never go wrong with a hobby v.s. retail battle. Volume wise, retail won. If you're going off top-5 from each, I think it's a draw. Diggin' the Bane /50. Subbed!

I believe there is an element of ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response) while opening packs. The sound and feeling of tearing them apart. The great hope and expectation of riches for the deprived inner-city child, that excites me so much watching these videos. Really, im my perspective...an interesting and deep topic. Regardless of loving the game more than anything... Thanks again sage. It almost feels therapeutic...in a way. What a simple rush. Jeez, we are such sweet kids. :)

Before you opened the last Chronicles pack, I was gonna say retail won easily, but I’m not so sure now. It was definitely a close battle, but you got multiple numbered rookies from hobby, including some other very nice cards as well. It’s too close to call!

LMAO I love the commentary! Cracked me up here. And yep, you really do feel for some of the players whose face will forever be imprinted (pun intended) on a basketball card, looking like they're sucking on a sour lemon! Poor sausages. But also, yay, good laugh for us! What a conundrum of ethics... 😇🤣 Am I the only one that every time someone says "Garuba", immediately "Jamaica" follows in my head? No? Just me then.

I've just gotten into collecting as a beginner. Can someone please explain why you sort the cards you pull into separate piles, and how you can tell the value of a card. I also do not know where to buy these basketball cards. They seem to be sold out everywhere. Someone please help 😣
@SageTheCollector Жыл бұрын
I just put notable cards up top, and semi-notable cards in the middle stack. To see what a card is worth, go to eBay, search for the card, and click "Sold Items." To buy retail cards, just go to Target or Walmart (or some Barnes & Nobles) or any of their websites.

Just rambling about other comments... The wax, that sticks...and ruins your Jordans... Maybe perhaps we can contact the companies...and ask them of the specific temperature to raise in order to relieve , restore and cool down that tension. Obviously, it needs to be a precise measurement...yet I think perhaps possible... Cards and Science. Upgraded. Woooooaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Hey sage which do you recommend for someone just starting out again.
@SageTheCollector Жыл бұрын
Card collecting is a hobby, so it's all about collecting what you like. I rip a ton of different stuff, so I'd recommend watching some of my videos, and see if anything looks cool to you. You'll also have to decide if you have more fun opening up packs or just picking up cards of your favorite players.
