WWAW Sports Cards?

[MonsterSteve]

I have a two whole binders of old cards that havent seen the light of day in like 15 years.
Apparently in the 80s they started printing so many cards that it made them all completely worthless

Yep mid 80s to mid 90s is known as the junk wax era cuz they printed so many cards and so many SHIT cards. You can have a hit once in a while with certain rookie cards but mostly it’s all useless.

With all the sets and parallels, dude's literally have 100's of rookie cards. It's absurd.

I went down a rabbit hole the other day on YouTube with breakers who scam their customers. It’s crazy. I bought into a few breaks when I got back into the hobby just to check it out but it’s really a huge waste of $$$

It's like playing the lotto except worse odds.

Faggots playing a boring game printed on cardboard is not a hobby, the cards are completely worthless and you are a queer for idolizing strong young men playing ball.

They were probably all bricked. A big problem with some of those factory sets.

Legit- all junk wax. 1987 topps is like the definition of junk wax.

I found a 2001factory set at my parents recently and went to go find the Ichiro rookie and they were all bricked and I couldn’t get them apart without peeling and destroying them.

All in looking at prices on tuff stuff and Beckett. My Dennis ‘oil can’ Boyd card never really took off.

Fawkin sucks and it was a problem that Topps knew about. The sets were essentially made to keep sealed or atleast be sealed for a number of years. It's a fucking Shane because the Ichiro is a great RC to have the collection.

Yeah that was a bummer

I have an unopened giant box of cards from the year I was born. I looked up the price for the goof and it was $90 on eBay haha. I have like 4 or 5 full sets too. I guarantee you I spent triple what the one is worth just to put it together. The rest my uncle gave me so I can’t sell them but I also have no use for them. Probably have two thousand random ones from when I was young but I assume they’re mostly worthless.

I 2023 is abysmal now since they’re not allowed to use current players in their packs, only prospects and players who have retired. Fawkin sucks man.

What?

 

[EraGodless]

What?

I believe Panini lost the contract they had with the major league players so they can only make cards of prospects (a-aaa ball abd college players). They haven't been able to use mlb logos for quite some time, but not being able to use mlb players is kind of a death blow. Panini had some really good card designs- especially with their Donruss product and Optic.

That’s really fucking goofy. I’ve never seen a sports card without the team’s logo too. I remember the Donruss cards from when I was younger.

That stinks. Most sets are sorted by teams too. That sucks for them. “New York” lol.

I'm a retard. Fanatics acquired Panini and Topps. So they will now have logos and players for all of their Topps and Panini products. Everyone expects customer service abd quality to turn to shit because there is now literally zero competition in the card hobby. There's some bunk shit put out their by other manufacturers, but that shit is starting to sit on retail shelves-- shit, stuff you couldn't find 3 years ago (resellers waiting for multiple days outside Walmart/Target) is now available on the shelves or online with zero issues.

I expect Topps to have Panini quality now, not the other way around.

I can’t stand how Fanatics does their COAs for hockey pucks. Beckett is far superior.

Exclusivity and grading have completely ruined collecting. All the parallel sets, lame relics, and autograph cards are so cheesy.

Grading has ruined every hobby - cards, comics, and in recent years, toys. It's only done to propagate a sense of elitism among collectors, and it's been proven many times how faulty and selective the grading system is. It's bullshit.

I love how you can mail a card in to get it graded. Like it might not get messed up in the mail.

I don't trust that shit at all lol. Plus I am a tactile person. I might occasionally want to hold the comic, card or toy. Can't do it if it's permanently encased in a plastic coffin.
