I've been watching these and there are now 7500 PSA 10's!. They regularly sell between 30-40. There was a recent at $54 but that seems odd when theres BIN for 15 cheaper.
I started to get cracking on collecting the 1954 Topps set.
You missed the boat on that one. Aaron, Kaline and Banks rc cards. Thats a big set. If you don't mind lower grades it achievable.
Yeah, I have kind of a system where I am going to incrementally acquire the cards. As I go I am going to upgrade as well. Going to try to spend less (including shipping) than the psa guide price. When I upgrade, going to try to get more than the price.
I'm in the process of going through my house and selling a lot of junk (and other stuff just taking up space) in order to fund the machine.

If you haven't read about it. Bobby Witt Jr played a game with 7 of his rc cards in his pocket and signed them and sent them off to PSA. Pretty cool for the hobby and a player who collects.
I have his Flipstock card that I'd love to trade him.

Did he have them in a slab/protective case or were they loose when he played with them in his pocket? That would be funny if it was the the latter.

Filthbomb breaks is looking sus. Not sure if any of you follow that sort of thing or not?
Also Fanatics. Mark my words. Will; take over the card aftermarket industries too. They will open up their own breaking and shops soon. They really are evil.
Yes, 2 williams cards. #1 in orange and #250 in yellow. Jackie is in the next batch I am going to need to find. Plus upgrade 1 of the first 5. Raising funds first. Going to start off with a 1 or 2 for Jackie and maybe upgrade later.

A really good set for legendary players.
Absolutely. Just think of the players whom rookies are in this and the next years?! A great time for legendary players. 54 Kaline, Banks and Aaron. 55 Clemente, Koufax and Killebrew. 6 HOFers rcs the same 2 years.
So for the pulse of the hobby right now its dead... I guess everyone is gearing up for the National? The Jackson Holiday SSP's seem to be selling nicely even though they don't seem too rare... Elly Da La Cruz is exciting but no one cares. Judge and Ohtani are slaying and nobody gives a hoot.
Buy vintage.
oh and my boy Trout you might ask? People are asking 4 years ago prices for his cards today and are not getting them. I am buying up rarer Trout stuff when I see it.
Juan Soto maybe? He is looking like an emerging stud (well already was good but kind of stashed on Washington and San Diego). If he continues his play and signs a big deal with the Yankees, that could be a big one.
Im sure people have been on that one a long time ago though.

There was a rush when he first came over. Even Gunnar was big a bit ago too. Jackson Holiday was a buzz too. The hobby is in a funk. Seems like everyone is chasing the new stuff and not knowing what to be excited about.
The hobby is eating itself. Way too much product, way too many variants of the same cards, too many people with an “investment” mindset (remember how Todd Van Popple RCs were going to make people millionaires) thinking their PSA 10 Jackson Holliday is on par with shares of Microsoft or Amazon, and a lot of greed between Fanatics, breakers, flippers and sleazy card shops clearing out blaster boxes from Targets and Walmarts then marking up them in their shops It’s somewhat gross.
Ive been collecting off and on since ‘86. My seven year old kid is starting to get interested in sports. Figured I’d pick up a blaster to rip with him. Something fun. Stopped by the local Target, nothing on the shelves. Stopped at the local card shop, guess what they had… piles of retail blasters marked up $10-20 over retail. Fuck that. We went home and looked through my collection instead.
Nowadays, all I’m collecting is vintage (mainly 1970s baseball and basketball), autos of HOF players.and Ohtani/Ichiro. I’ll let the “investors” and gamblers have at it.

yeah unless you have a 1/1 lock of a HOFer that u puled retail there is no investment. A bunch of us talk about the massive print runs and then you have the "cheerleaders" who see everything is good and nothing to worry about.
This will continue for a while as the hobby is still experiencing growth. Once that growth stops is when everything comes crashing. What is crazy to me is you have people that will come up to me w a backup running back card that's numbered to 5 and want to trade it for a Josh Allen card. No no no no no. Shoo.
It's people like that that are keeping the hobby afloat. People w junk that still pass it off as worth. I saw this playout in the 90's. History will repeat itself. Loricana might replace sportscards, who knows...

150K for this card!

Once you get the Aaron and Banks the rest will be easy.
Enjoy the hunt!!!

Again, maybe the hype is all about the National?
