I think the biggest reason I love these types of vids is the same reason why I enjoy card show footage or scrolling through eBay… to see great cards and ideas of what should be on my radar for my ‘next big investment’. As collectors, I think we all think about the potential value & growth of our hobby dollar & time. Also as an added bonus, these types of videos provide an insight as to what and how fellow hobbyists collect- which I always find interesting (whether high end or low end cards). Keep up the great work on all your uploads!

Heritage is my favorite product so I had to get that 2012 Harper in a PSA 10. I still need his auto from that set so I see these come up in my saved searches and people ask for the moon and the stars for them. My other favorite rookie of his is the Archives, but the PSA 10 auto, which I have, sells for less than the PSA 10 non auto, which I don't have. Some pretty strange pricing histories on them.

Always love these to 50, top 25, top 10 videos as it’s fascinating to see what someone collects. I have to say I’m surprised at how many of your vintage cards went down this year. These are iconic vintage cards. I collect mostly 80’s/90’s so I don’t follow vintage prices except from channels like Mid Life Sports who do daily deep dives. I hear from the vintage channels all of the time the ‘vintage is safe’ in this hobby. I think this video show that nothing is safe in this hobby as even lower pop vintage cards are vulnerable to a correction. Obviously ultra modern cards have fallen off a cliff, but I’m surprised at how many of your big cards went down this year.
