Have you ever found yourself scrambling to make it to a card show, only to realize you’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem? Recently, a collector shared their experience of a monthly card show that turned out to be a delightful surprise. With just a couple of hours left in the event, they managed to snag some vintage cards, including a 1969 Topps Lee May and a 1965 Topps Galen Cisco, all for a mere $15.
This got me thinking about the thrill of the hunt in card collecting. What’s the best deal you’ve ever scored at a card show? Was it a rare find that you had been searching for, or perhaps a card that you didn’t even know you needed until you saw it?
Moreover, with the rise of online marketplaces, do you think the traditional card show experience is losing its charm? Or do you believe that nothing can replace the excitement of flipping through bins and discovering cards in person?
Let’s also talk about the impact of player trades on card values. The collector mentioned continuing to buy Walker Buehler cards post-trade to the Red Sox. Do you think this is a smart move, or do you believe that a player’s value can plummet after a trade?
Share your thoughts, experiences, and predictions! What’s your take on the current state of card collecting, and how do you see it evolving in the future?
