After the junk wax era killed the hobby, a lot of people are getting back into it. Especially now with people in their 30's and 40's having disposable income that used to collect. There is a lot of using cards as investments and flipping cards going on. A lot of sneaker kids bringing that money to basketball cards as well. Anyone else start looking into sports cards again?

I collected cards in the 80's and 90's, and my Son who is now 24, has dug out all of my old boxes and containers and has started. I guess I am collecting thru him because I will buy him cards for his collection.

I should also add, there is sports card collecting vs sports card investing. There is a difference, although someone can be both. If you have cards that you feel are in good enough condition to get graded, you should look into. Although most raw cards go at the same price as a psa 9, unless it is a Jordan RC, Gretzky RC, Mickey Mantle RC, etc. But if you have cards that you think can grade as a psa 10, there is money to be made! Getting a 10 grade isn't easy though.

As a collector myself, I take great pride in having high quality cards and while I want them to be in pristine condition... the point is useless because I’ll never sell them. A true collector at heart, no matter how much my cards are worth .

It would be fun to try to complete sets again, but then I would have to store it somewhere. haha. Big ups to you.
