I'm building sets of vintage baseball cards so hopefully it happens soon. Even if it doesn't, I enjoy doing it

Based. I'm working on a Topps 52-73 and Bowman 48-55 run. About 80% complete. Need 3 more high #s to finish up 67. Have a few Goudeys and t206's but nothing crazy. I don't really fuck w modern stuff too much. Pic related is prob my holy grail card. Bought it in the late 90's @ a local shop for ~$20 and got it graded last yr PSA 9

damn that's a comfy investment to hold on to. younger 'boomers' definitely have the advantage of time to wait on investments. vintage is typically a solid way to go appreciation-wise, but regardless the enjoyment of the hobby brings just as much reward. happy collecting, a 23yo boomer ;]

The market used to be amazing for cards. My father had amazing collections, and watched it all plummet in value as the sports collectible market shriveled.

90s crash was sad, your dad's old balls wont cut it anymore.
anything thats not official and authenticated doesnt mean shit for vintage investors. the markets changed so much, its all about big money prospecting

cards from the late 80s/90s are trash unless its MJ or jeter, random autos still have some value but wouldn't expect much as an investment
Ian Lopez
This. Those years were so mass produced and everyone kept them in good shape thinking they would retire from them. They're essentially worth nothing with the exception of a few cards as this user stated
Joseph Hall
how much is this jeter card worth? Baseball has definitely made a resurgence in American culture because people are fed up with niggerball and niggerball but I feel like generations beyond boomer the card trend dies off real hard. No?

i don't think so but who knows. in the last decade the prospect market blew up, which is basically penny stock gambling on rookies.
i made a few grand this year buying low on pete alonso, the trick is finding the overlooked guys on big market teams
