Why Dont Kids Collect Sport Cards Anymore?

[jjgold]

New generation kids terrible now
Lower class and uneducated

In Canada it’s o-pee-Chee that was
and still is the biggest in Canada
they’re now owned by UD.

I tried selling my Derek Jeter rookie cards and New Yorkers laughed at me.

Card Collecting died back when the Major card companies started flooding the market making too many cards of the same players. It was like the video game crash of the early 80's, but it never recovered.

Here is a guy that bought a 400k Mike Trout card. What a guy! What a Legend!

A players Rookie Card use to mean something back then,know they make a boatload of different ones for each player.

My father-in-law died a few years ago and he left me his baseball card collection. He thought it was worth a fortune. Not sentimental value - he thought the cards were actually very valuable on the market. I took an inventory and put them on Craigslist and Ebay. Nothing. I ended up just throwing them away.

baseball cards died along with newspapers, yellow pages, calling information to get a phone number, shopping malls, and this stupid fad\

Hman, are you a pack searcher?

I used to be.

Easier & probably cheaper to just buy the cards you want.

My biggest pull ever was Upper Deck SPX Basketball first year.

4 packs off the top of new box in an athletic store in mall & in 2 of the packs for a jordan auto-redemption card & penny Hardaway auto-redemption. $5,500 and $1,000 value at the time.

Is that right,those are sold online then,don't think their are to many Card Shops around anymore.

Yes sir most hobby cases/packs still go thru dealers online or card shops.

In many cases retail & hobby will have different limited inserts but usually hobby has the better limited stuff.

I know this isnt sports but as i said i also like movie auto inserts.
Have my eyes on a couple in these hobby boxes:

Remember when a pack of Upper Deck cost you a buck at the convince store

I remember when they were a nickle a pack..I used to get my quarter a week allowance then go to the store to buy 5 packs

[lakerboy]

Still have all my cards. Tons of great cards including my Gretzky rookie card.

No, with some of the newer packs you can feel the sides and tell if theres an autograph or jersey card inside.

sounds a bit extreme ? you threw away cards with stars from the 40s-60s?

[jjgold]

One of the worst things that ever happened was video games kids became dumber and antisocial

95% of kids could not name five baseball players anymore

or the employees do it

Higher end packs are unreachable & rightly so, when packs sell for $89.99-$199.99 PER PACK.
