Can the Market Go Down Even More? 

HOF cards always sell and don't move much in value, especially from the 50's-70's , the rest of the market is saturated, there is nothing rare about a modern day athletes RC out of the box.

You were right all along, there is no market for cards that have no real value. Cards are just a hobby and hobbies do not make money.

I enjoy this video very much. I have an opinion and I hope I don’t rub a few feathers … BUT imo here’s what’s holding the (nba) market up , Logomans , 2012 prizm, 1/1’s, autographs of elite players , rc cards of high valued players . Once those fall then yea market come down and it will Look crazy but that’s where most of the money is in. lol maybe I sound crazy but yea

I would be interested in the dealer network thing. I have probably 80k sports cards and about 50k Pokémon cards. The Pokémon cards I have an idea on the value but the sports cards I couldn’t tell you what they are worth. I have just bought collections over the past 8 years and never really looked at most of them. I do have some newer stuff since I too bought a lot during Covid.

I’m just getting back into the hobby and love going to shops/shows but I gotta say…the hype and big money around WNBA players has me thinking the bubble hasn’t resolved itself yet

Hi Doc. It`s been said before a lot. But if you are a collector and realistically spend what you like and can afford. And don`t get caught up on influencers and propagandist I still think you can enjoy the hobby. Do you agree? Thank You. Jim.

Thanks!

Its too hard to sell cards, I have a bunch of cards but way too much trouble trying to get rid of them.

I am bullish on the card market. I think much of the spike from pandemic has corrected off and we have a super solid floor/base with so many more collectors and their money in the game now. Fanatics is attracting even more new people to cards who have collections to build.

I think its impossible to create a mathematical formula for how much a card is worth IF it is a modern card. The reason I say this is because of what so few people consider which you have mentioned and that is manufactured rarity. The Mickey Mantle PSA 10 is rare because it is SO old and the likelihood of another PSA10 surfacing is so unlikely. Take a 1980 Rickey Henderson....a mathematical formula could probably be used for that...looking at print runs, time elapsed since print, player ranking, and other metrics. BUT a modern 1 of 1 Wemby is not the same. In the SAME set you have 47 different wembys...all the same freakin photo just different color borders/bkg essentially (how lazy!) and the manufacturer chose a particular color to be the 1 of 1...hence manufactured scarcity. Add to that multiple sets from multiple manufacturers. Wemby has no ranking yet (and may or may not in the future), there are 46 other cards of his in the one set alone and there are ALOT of people gambling on him. Some overly wealthy person who got into the hobby may pay $1,000,000 for a 2023 Wemby 1 of 1. Good for them. BUT what if 3 years from now Wemby turns out to be a dud and not an all time great. Is that 1 of 1 still "worth" a million just because it is rare? No! BUT will the Mickey Mantle still be worth an insane amount? Yes!

Nobody is paying $25 for 50 commons dippy

Go down? This year my sales have been the strongest they’ve been since 21’.

We’ve been in a recession ever since Sleepy took over….

the 2-year recession that everyone was screaming for has not happened, Financial markets have recovered from Monday's hiccup. The Vix is back to 20 and heading lower. Everyone can scream recession every day and be right once.

Yada yada yada. How is a down market a bad thing? Besides, I don't think Fanatics or Poopini got the memo.

Who tf do you think you're talking to?
