**Hman** · 09-30-18, 12:23 PM

Ive collected since I was a kid.

Finally just started collecting only autographed inserts & game worn cards inserted into packs.

It's now turned into the autographs from actors/actresses from movie trading card packs.

No more bubble-gum cards

The market is over saturated, there's no more money to be made in trading cards.

**rm18** · 09-30-18, 02:06 PM

Technology in general not really one thing.

Not as big as the 3 you mentioned.
