I'm 42. Stopped collecting in 07. Started back up about a year ago. What a joke. Every card is the same except one will be blue one will be pink and so on smh. Decided to just collect the older stuff. Getting Kobe rookies for great prices.

@CharizardChad Месяц назад

It's because cards now are about value but back then they were about the fun of it.

@getpaid200 Месяц назад

@@CharizardChad funny thing is most of them aren't worth shit. To many. You get a wemby rookie say prizm base I doubt it will ever be worth what a lebron james topps chrome base rookie is. You have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good rare card. Just don't see the return on that.

@michaelkeaton32 4 года назад

I used to collect cards back in the day (early 1990's through the early 2000's). We used to just buy a box at Wal-Mart and enjoy the experience. I get it that people get into this for the investment, but looking up what's in the box and all that takes the fun out of it to me. I get it if the box is several hundreds of dollars; back then the boxes were like $20-$40. I got a lot of joy out of those boxes. When things get popular, companies try to make as much money as they can, and that's why we have these crazy cards that are rare - to drive the price up.

@PackmanCards 4 года назад

Yea these days are crazy. I just like having a good time and collecting but it’s much tougher to do rn

@SPACESPINACH 4 года назад

Panini sells most boxes/packs at a reasonable price. The only problem is that if you don't get to Target at 8 AM on Saturday before Dave and Bill (random white guy names), you're stuck either buying 10 card packs, paying double on eBay, or finding a card shop in town where you're still paying 1.2-1.5x retail.

Tyson Fury Rookie Boxing Cards are the cards to buy and hold on to. There are more Michael Jordan Rookie cards and Wayne Gretzky Rookie cards then there are Tyson Fury Rookie cards. Tyson Fury cards are very Limited and only a small amount were made. As long as he stays Undefeated, his cards will continue to rise even Higher!!

8). Nothing wrong with resellers? You know what collectors call someone who doesn’t care about the hobby, and is only looking to profit off someone’s passion? They are a leech, and many in the hoping can’t stand resellers, or flippers.

@AfterHoursCollector 4 года назад

This was really nice. Sports card market is nuts. I was very into it when I was younger but like you said it really matters who the hot guy is even more so than a good player. I’ve recently gotten back into Pokémon cards but sports cards just scare me to death lol like once that guy isn’t hot anymore the card can plummet

I know this is an old video, might not respond, but how do you value 1/1 cards. I’m just getting into the hobby and pulled a 1/1 Chase Weekend Warrior Jalen Tolbert, and I have no clue how to value it. Not a known player but I saw a 1/1 non chase weekend warrior Tolbert sell for $100, so not sure if it is more or less to have the chase logo on it.

@PackmanCards Год назад

Usually you just take similar cards and use those as a comparison. Stuff like having an auto, the set it’s from, serial numbering, desirable qualities, etc would raise or lower the value accordingly compared to comps

Well man this is a hard question. One thing that you can do is try to find a friendly store employee and try to ask them about when the store gets restocked. Also usually it’s not store employees restocking it’s usually on outside vendor which makes it harder to find out when they restock. I hope I answered your question!

I opened my first pack yesterday and I got a mosaic silver jam masters lebron and I was amazed to see what it’s worth. But I honestly don’t want to sell the card. Just seeing how rare it seems to be has me interested and I think I’m going to start a collection. The only problem is I can never find packs they’re always sold out. How do I find packs if they aren’t in stores?

As someone trying to get into cards for the first time I wanted to buy $20 blasters. I have yet to find a single one in Walmart, target, or cvs. Online they cost anyway from $95-$135 for the current year. I don’t know how to start collecting because people sweep all the cards instantly for resale. Is there anywhere the average person can buy a $20 box these days???

@jaredchromy8448 3 года назад

Right now, you can find Contenders draft picks (football) blasters on target's site for 20 bucks

@Imperium2939 3 года назад

So, I'm barely getting into it as well and have bought some singles off of eBay already. Justin Hebert card is my best buy, also graded 10 LaMelo Ball RC. I actually scored 2 blaster boxes at Walmart. Best advice a coworker gave me was go extremely earl, like 7-7:30 a.m.

Great video, Packman! Wish I saw this video about 3 months ago, would have definitely helped me out alot and would have saved me some $. But it was fun, just buying any box and ripping. I think this is a tremendous help to everyone looking to get into the hobby. Thanks for posting this video, bro!

I live in Spain and I would like to start a collection of NBA cards. I see millions of types and prices. My goal would be to have cards of all the players and teams of the league, something very basic, having few prisms or special cards, but something affordable. I dont want to spend more than 100 USD in a box. Is there any affordable collection to have complete players and teams? With few special and not very rare cards. Thanks. Great vídeo.

@PackmanCards 4 года назад

Hey thanks! You could get a lot of players in retail hoops and Donruss boxes. You could also try complete sets online with all the base cards or lots of inserts/numbered cards

@PackmanCards 4 года назад

Probably ebay

@predatorshelby5780 3 года назад

The Walmart right next to me has the mega boxes for 45 bucks a piece. Might wanna just check places like that and target every now and then.

@desdes9470 3 года назад

So do you recommend not to buy base packs from local retail..only hobby packs?

@geethunder1 3 года назад

He’s probably recommend not getting the base packs at a crazy mark up after the local retail stores get cleared out.

Packman thank you for the video really informative, been collecting on and off since 1991, but it is so much more now. What Hobby Box would you be looking for to try to pull some NBA 2023 draft class collectible winners i.e. victor wembanyama?

@@PackmanCards just asking, you don't have to answer, but I have a 2020 panini contenders justin herbert rookie of the year, no signature, silver letters, so you think that will be worth anything, as in being in the 100s dollar mark in the future?

Did my LCS rip me off or I didnt do research first? Im a new collector. bought a blaster for $50 from them. On ebay... i seel them selling for $30-$35? Now just seeing this. better do research first i guess. I want to support their business but not be a dumb buyer either.

@geethunder1 3 года назад

I don’t think so, I’ve heard of other charging 4x eBay pricing so a 15-20 difference isn’t too bad.

Thank you so much for your help,your video was very helpful. I think I took 6 pages of notes. I am so much more confused than I was before but I have the notes, I have the time to process it all and I already see my cards through different eyes. My biggest dilemma now is how to sort them. It's unbelievable how many different makers of cards there are and how many different types of cards, my heads spinning! Lol, but I can't wait to dig into my new hobby, it's so addicting. Thanks again foe your help and I'll be checking out more of your videos that's for sure. Newbie, Angie

I totally agree with you that it takes time to learn how everything works in collecting. I started collecting cards in 2017 but didn’t know much about them. I though it was all about autos but realized there’s more to collecting like parallels, mem cards, short prints,etc. I started watching your channel about a year ago, and since then have been able to learn a little more about collecting each video. Now I know a lot about collecting because of you. Thanks! P.S: Your killin it, 30k subs? Your channel has grown a lot

@PackmanCards 4 года назад

Thanks a lot! Yea it’s crazy to think back to my days where I knew so little. The growth over time is so much fun tho!
