Same here✌❤ I subscribed your channel just because of baseball⚾✌

Agreed.

I have the same concern, but i wonder how many kids are buying 250$ 5 card packs today and will they still want the 1 of 1 card in 20 years and willing to pay big bucks. Starting to think gimmicks like diamonds, pearls, parallels, and sticker autos have become the card compaines modern expensive junk wax and don't get me started on redemptions that expire in a couple of years after release. I guess we will find out in 20 years.

Buy what you enjoy. Invest in what you know.

It's easier to invest in what you love because you have more passion for research

Glad someone else caught this cause he said the holiday was same as the update which it’s the Series 2 SP...”Topps shop of the year in the heart of Atlanta telling investors about Acuna rookies and completely mixing stuff up”

I think it was an honest mistake. He felt genuine and reasonably knowledgeable. Im a pretty serious collector but mostly hoops and fball. I still spend a few grand a year on baseball, especially when its a strong year like 2018 and 19. I took quite a bit from this. Good episode and I'm sure they will get even better.

Michael Deryder i would think that on normal circumstances but it’s concerning when that misconception has been through the hobby of what set the bat down was really in, and the fact he showed a set variation saying it was the update rookie. He’s a shop owner and in Atlanta he should be the most knowledgeable of anyone on Acuna rookies especially in the last couple weeks. This channel can be informative but I also question a lot of things with it. Anyway mistakes happen, but the entire hobby has been confused by the Acuna Topps rookies and even more added confusion isn’t good for those that may watch these videos to try and learn, not to mention on eBay so many people list the set variation as the update rookie to try and lure a bigger sell price, this can mislead many people trying to get in on Acunas and buying a lesser valued card for a more premium price

Brandon Edwards this is what I was trying to get at with comment. Also a few other things I could take issue with on what the shop owner was portraying regarding Bowman and sought after rookies... but it would get out of hand mentioning it all.

Kyle Beecker yes I’m the same way and I knew exactly what your comment was about as soon as I seen it I told my wife he’s mixing all this up! For reference if anyone reads these comments, the bat down is a series 2 SP, there’s a card with the same photo with snowflakes from 2018 holiday mega boxes, then there’s metallic versions of the snowflake as well as gold metallic which is 1/1. The update Acuna (bat up) is the “base” update card, they used this exact same photo in the complete sets as card # 698 EXCEPT the Topps logo and the RC logo are on opposite sides of the cards. The set variation has the logos on the right of the card and is numbered 698 with Series 2 underneath it. The update card has the logos on the left side of the card and will say update underneath the card number which is US250. There is a SP in update as well which Acuna in a blue and red shirt, this is also card number US250 to further the confusion there are TWO more ssp variations of US250 one of him batting in a white jersey and another of him near the dugout in a white jersey with his glove. Again there are also colored parallels etc that are numbered, the rainbow foils which are unnumbered etc. but please pay attention when buying as the bat down is obvious the snowflakes aren’t the SP. and that card is in series 2 packs not update packs. The update has 2 that look exactly the same so if buying on eBay and you want the update make sure the logos are on the left and the back says update series and is card number US250! Hope this helps anyone who is confused and reads this and I may possibly be missing some but this can clarify most of the confusion lol

I'm not sure that's a compliment lol

My main surprise was how he got the Acuna so wrong. The bat down, as you said, is only a short print from series 2 or in the holiday, but in that it's just a regular print rookie. The bat up he showed was obviously the regular rookie issue in Update. Someone in the "Know" also told me that 2019 Sr 2 was shorter printed this year than Update, so it may be an excellent product to put aside, with Jimenez, Tatis, Alonso etc

Is the Heritage the same brand as the Gallery?

You not gay? Why you worrying about a man hair style?

Yes just bought one

Hope you looking at completed sales and not active asking prices. Lot of people goes by what one is asking and not what it actually sales for. If you comparing them right and see diamonds then you should put them on ebay and sell them to world wide audience. You will do a lot better then what one man will pay you.

Not the best cards to appreciate. People like plastic material cards like Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome, Topps Finest, etc. Yeah they cost more than Gypsy and A&G but they also appreciate faster. If Chrome and Finest is too expensive, just buy what you like as a collector as long as you don't extend yourself. Most people will never make real money investing in cards (most lose money) so it's actually smart to not invest/speculate on cards

@@sp123 tha is for the perspective. I really appreciate it.

You’re not suppose to answer it publicly

@@ronaldsettipane7143 Whoops! Sorry!

Baseball.the great American past time.

Pokemon, Fortnite, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic the Gathering, etc

Thats a good point

I think i currently agree about this generation and I think it's mostly the older Generations 30s-60s that are moving this market and showing new interest and now that many of them may have money to come into it and actually complete sets and get cards they wanted, where they didn't have that extra money when they were younger so fell out of it, also that they remember loving it as kids but grew up realizing the cards weren't worth much because of the over production and supply exceeding the demand... but now that the companies learned from it and are creating intentional scarcity and the grading system is around it's all coming together to give new life to the hobby and market from an investing standpoint... finite commodities are always good ways of storing value and profiting... I think as long as the manufactured scarcity remains it's going to be a good investment.. As for the kids, I think that comes down to the parents in their 20's and 30's now, I think with their renewed interest in it, it will begin to carry over to the kids... as they grow into their teens and early twenties and in ten years from now I think it will be a different situation with a new, much larger generation coming into the market and hobby and changing the dynamics again. Also crating more demand, which is my concern that the companies will get greedy and start flooding the supplies again. If they don't and stay the course, people getting in now or that were already collecting and trading, will all be doing very well in a few years and decades time financially from their card investing. That's my two cents

Only 100 of each base player ? Secondly which Topps soccer product are you referring to?

@@90210bribri The Topps Now online cards. Many have prs under 100 of Kane, Messi ect. Get them graded and you make a rare item even more so.
