Since the pandemic began, reports of former hobbyists digging up their old collections and discovering a windfall have not been uncommon.
A new crop of entrepreneurs is betting big that trading cards are no longer just hobbyists’ collectibles, they're serious investment assets. In this episode of Niche Markets, WSJ speaks with entrepreneurs who have found success in the booming trading market. Photo Illustration: Alexander Hotz/WSJ

I once heard someone saying that we, humans, have a very different ideology for valuation of things. Once our basic needs of Food, Water, Shelter, Security and Internet is over, we go crazy about ho we value things. "Valuations, after a point when all necessities are covered, is all about psychology, the purpose, the asset serve doesn't matter outside the realm of survival necessities." Everytime I see a Car auction or million dollar paint sell or NFTs...I always get reminded of this qoute, and couldn't agree more on it everytime 😌

I collected as a kid back in the 90s and fell in love with it again in 2018!! Not only do I make a decent profit but I enjoy the collecting aspect of it and I'm a huge sports fan so it's fun for me and people who don't understand it or are hating on the hobby are the ones mad they didn't keep their collection as a kid like I did lol!!! I stick to basketball and football since that's what I know!! The hobby has grown imencily and I hope greed and overprinting does not send us into another junk wax era!!

I think the value of these cards do not come in what someone is willing to put in them money wise but based on how many people think the whole idea is stupid, they are essentially a possible future convert, thats value. if everyone is in on it the boat already passed and theres no more value, get it?

A few kids I know, make hundreds of dollars "Shorting" trading cards How? They borrow old cards before the new season comes out, and sell them When the new season comes out, the value of old cards go down (cards which are 1-2 years old) so they buy them back and repay it

Nothing and I mean nothing is like opening a pack from the 80’s or 90’s. Even packs today. It’s like opening a wonka bar and trying to get a golden ticket. It’s just hope and fun. There’s nothing like sharing a fun hobby with your dad or son. My grandfather collected cards, my dad/uncle collect cards, I collect cards, and my sons will. And all of those cards will go to me then to my sons. Eventually they will have a giant value to be life changing but at worst it’s a fun hobby that’s brings great memories of not only the players but watching with family. My only thing that pisses me off is that you can hardly find packs now.
