tay tay chiefs 📈all other "sports" 📉

I've been in the hobby since 91, I've seen it in its death throws and then pandemic. I hope it tanks again so I can buy what I want and not have to bid against flippers

It’s become a game of hot potato. Don’t be left holding when the music stops. My advice to anyone looking for singles right now would be to befriend a few people addicted to ripping wax and/or group breaking and are looking to unload their hits for rent and grocery money.

I have been selling a ton of low-end cards. The industry is actually collectors and hobbyists once again.

2 things the Fields "collector" did wrong. 1- "invest" in Justin Fields 2- bought exactly ZERO key cards Great plan.

As a collector i love it when prices go down. I dont care what my collection is worth. I just want to buy cards cheaper. Blaster boxes and hobby boxes will have to come down. Who would pay todays prices for anything new unopened with what the singles are worth.

The random "Fleeeer" thrown in sometimes always gets me 😂😂

As a 12 year old I will make sure that sports card investing wil STAY ALIVE!!!

Why the hell are PSA and Beckett still charging ridiculous grading fees? Most of the graded cards sold for under $20 on PWCC last night.

When all of the "investors" and "influencers" leave the hobby, we will be all better off. Well, except for missing the comedy they inadvertently create. I can say that the world of vintage collectors has never been better. I was priced out of last night's REA vintage because prices in the pre-War and oddball vintage world are very strong, almost too strong.

I can’t wait to go to a local card show in 2025 🎉

When a retail blaster went from sub-$20 to $40 it stopped being fun for me.

This shouldn't surprise anyone that's been in the hobby for years. The pandemic boom was a once in a lifetime perfect storm of events that sent cards to the moon. Guaranteed to collapse big time. These periods of hype and mania with collectibles creates a brief period to sell and make a lot. Followed by years of declines its not surprising and will only worsen.

love that I'm a player collector who still loves my cards and talking about them because I NEVER care about selling them. Just having them! It's the way to be! Hope it keeps tanking so I can get the rest of my guy's cards for less!

Justin GG biggest scammer out there so much so that he got called out and disappeared

Well... You can only pump and dump so many times. Eventually, the suckers' money runs out.

If everything is dead and declining, how come I still lose on 98% of auctions I bid on? Feels like the whole hobby is messing with me

The biggest scam on whatnot is cardboard 47, he has a bunch of friends that bid on the items if it dosent go for the prices they want

I have been in the hobby since 1970 and this is exactly why i am a COLLECTOR and not a sports card investor. Sports cards where meant to be collected. I had no idea that their values would be what it is today. People have turned this hobby into a investment hobby instead of a leisure hobby. Go figure if you can make money by sitting on your arse and doing nothing then why not.

I will NEVER INVEST IN WANDER FRANCO OR IN THE WNBA EVER AGAIN! MOCK MY WORDS!

The edits on this video have me dying laughing right now 😂 “flipperrr”, “I have a gift for you”, “hello”, “fleeeer” lol they’re are all bangers!

I haven’t bought any sports cards in like 6 months, even retail is so expensive that it’s just not fun, so I’ll just wait for single cards I want to drop down in price

The hole business is a scam!! Card market is out of control

I asked COMC if this was the pentagon or a card website 😂😂

“I did send him a Bolt Up message this morning to hopefully lift his spirits” Fucking Savage 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the one area of the hobby that is still going strong is vintage. Sure there has been a softening in vintage prices, but a lot of vintage collectors I know including myself are enjoying picking up cards for a lower price than 2 years ago. We may be a small part of the overall hobby (at least on KZfaq), but we are still enjoying the hobby and having fun. 😊

Good. I’m not in this hobby to make money. I’m in it to spend money. And the cheaper the better. I ain’t paying $500 for a piece of cardboard with a sticker on it

When panini is charging $750 dollars a box that only breakers can afford, you have a bubble. As soon as breakers stop, the hobby can become accessible again to regular joes.

I saw Justins youtube content once and my only question was how much xanax is this dude snorting before he records himself 🤪

Thank you for calling out COMC lol…. They need to change it back!

With SCR, it’s all about the Vibes!

I’m having a blast in the hobby, I don’t ever seeing that changing.

That Justin Gamble fella is always sweaty and fidgety. Hmmm..wonder why😎

Justin gambo gambo became Justin scamble scamble and now is known as Justin scramble scramble

Printing money and inflation is a bitch. I’m only grabbing who I like.

You know for me, it’s all about the vibes.

“The Phillip Rivers guy flexes too” 💀💀💀💀💀💀

I agree Fanatics can't 10x the hobby without gambling and celebrities. They will have to artificially create excitment.

It took for me to see this video to remember people invest money instead of just buying players they enjoy watching

Prices are still high for boxes though, still need to go down. Everything needs to crash so the hobby can heal and build back up.

Sports card market dead for the third time. Get the F out now. Save your money for food and gas people 😊

98$ is a great buy if you like barry worst thing that happens it declines in value and you still have a sick card you paid 98 for

I am putting away my cards and transitioning to a buyer not a seller. Keep tanking please!

I mean it only makes sense that the industry would plummet in value across the board. Prices have been inflated since 2020 and now we are starting to finally see realistic prices for specific cards. Not only that, but the current economic situation this country is in does not help the market. Most people are not willing to spend a bunch of money on cards when they need to pay higher and higher prices for things like groceries and gas. Also, at least for the baseball market, I would say that the gradual decline right now is in part due to the season coming to an end, as all sports see this decrease in value as they go out of season. Football, on the other hand, has decreased even with the season starting. People realized that football cards were way too expensive and here we are. Basketball, same thing. Prices were too high and now they are decreasing. The industry overall, will continue to decrease, but once the economy improves or a big player turns up in whichever sport, we can expect to see an increase. Remember, it’s like a stock. It goes up and down with time and current events. Don’t think in the short term, think in the long term if you are trying to invest. Edit: Think in the short term only if you’re trying to really quickly flip cards. Personally, for baseball, I’m looking potentially at Brendan Donovan, as his cards are cheap and he may get traded to a bigger team. There was an article mentioning that he was a good fit for teams like the Yankees. If he joined the Yankees, that is a huge market increase for his cards. But of course, remember to diversify, don’t just buy one player.

ANYONE who watched Justin Gamble for a couple episodes, KNEW bad things were coming

The horrible economy isn't helping the industry

These short form vids are pure gold 🥇

It also doesnt help a kot of the " stars " getting hurt , healthy sitting , suspended, beating women, etc etc ... The ghettoness has taken main stage . Hard to invest in thugs

I personally don't care about the sport cards industry because it doesn't care about me. I collect because it something I enjoy to do. 😂😂😂

The hobby is probably great for true collectors. Remember it was a hobby before a business. Those that jumped in during the pandemic/boom need to go.

Thanks for bringing up the ComC login, I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to quit the hobby due to this.

The sportscard market is still correcting from the overinflated price during Covid when it seemed like everyone was getting free money. Sportscards are very difficult to make money on unless you hold on to them for a very long time My example is the 3 Wayne Gretzky rookies I pulled out of packs in 1979 when they were .25 a pack (I actually sold one in the 90’s for$300 bucks).

All you have to do is go to any sports card show to see that the industry is in free fall. Every single table outside of the couple of tables ran by old-timers with baseball cards from pre-80 are filled with the exact same thing. Boxes and boxes of modern crap, both base and "color" for 10 cents - 25 cents, and a few glass cases with the same 20-30 players with autos and non-player worn swatches with absurd prices on them. Although if you want a deal, they are there to be had, especially with cards that aren't in the glass case. Went to a show a couple months back, and spent $40 for 1k cards with UNC players for my nephew. Almost all modern cards, color, numbered, and even 3 1994 Finest basketball refractors that accidentally fell out of the box and into my collection. Got the sense from the guy that if I could have bought out his entire non glass case stock for a hundred bucks or so.

3 year low for modern garbage. The older stuff still holding values except for cards that got over inflated.

The mojo clips get me every time. 😂😂😂

Avoid buying Merlin Premier Gold 97 boxes from Thailand. The seller's have multiple boxes and have been tampering with them. You get one or two David Beckham cards per box. All they have to do is pull a Beckham and not open the rest of the packets. Take packs out of the remaining boxes to make up a complete box.

I’m UP HUGE on all my Tua cards and he is the only one I collect! Bought like 5K worth of Tuas this off-season and current Value is $13,000

This hobby is just that - a HOBBY. Only a very small number of people will be able to make money on it, just the same way that only a few people who do woodworking or videogaming or whatever will ever make money. I say this again and again in my videos: Do it for YOU, not for your your wallet, and you'll be a lot less stressed and a lot happier.

One individual commented, It's a Hobby!!..WE LAUGH!!!!... Besides my mom saving ALL my cards, after I had flown the nest , now 65, and currently a retired day one Marlins season ticket holder, Hoarding All sports card products up too 2002.... Sick hoarding!!!!.... Nothing graded!!!.... IMAGINE???....

His name was called Justin Gamble Gamble. What a shock

I remember when I was a kid, taking the RTD down to Goodwin Goldfadden's(sp?) place in L.A.. I'd save all month and spend $15.00 on a T206 HOFer. Cards were a kid thing then. Then in the 1980s, colleges and universities began cranking out dudes with the brand new degree of Financial and Estate Planning. These guys began looking for ways to invest in anything to make money. They reinvented the long standing coin grading system into several additional "mint states", after they bought everything up of course, so they could make $. They did the same thing with sports cards, comics, militaria, antique firearms, etc. I think these hobbies have been in a precarious place since. Just my opinion.

They are probably in supplements and energy drinks now...

Fields cards are down. But Bagent cards sky rocketed. Looks like they are up 10x since first preseason start

Fanatics isn't going to 10X anything if you hadn't figured that out

Selfishly I hope it does crash. I would love to get back into collecting but the prices in general are so out of control

Breaking is getting diluted as hell now while the eco is going to shit and print runs get worse every year

Love your videos because you're one of the only ones being realistic about the card industry right now.

Sell your cards now before they fall another 30% next year

Geoff Wilson's PPP money must be running out... he's buying up from dollar boxes in his latest video like an average collector.

Have you guys seen that you can only pay with a credit card up to 10k on PWWC auctions. Guessing PWWC got hammered by cc companies. Also explains some of the crazy low prices on their last premier auction have to pretty much pay with cash now.

Fractional sale of a shack in Oklahoma lol

Just found you today and subscribed. Great video. I hope cards can finally move back in the hands of the colector and not in the hands of the rich. I've collected since 2009 and make good money but I'm smart with my money so when boxes of cards went from $110 to $500 with only 2-3 autos in the box I quit buying. I went to retail or buying only 1 box a month that cost less than $200. I am not a fan of breakers but to get some of the rookies and players I wanted I was forced to get in a few breaks. I can say that I did hit a few bangers too which was pure luck.

Cant wait to buy in that recession dip 😮‍💨

The hobby isn't crashing. The hobby was just inflated. I remember buying hobby boxes of Prizm Luka rc year for 250 and thinking that was alot. If Prizm goes back to 250, I for one will be happy even if there is no one to sell to.

How's Vegas Dave's Derek Carr collection holding up?

Anything you like about the industry?

Bye bye….! Now things can get normal again.

200 million last month in 2nd hand marketplace sales. I don't think that is a decline. Sure, cards have came back to realistic pricing but we all expected that didn't we?

A Rafael Nadal PSA 9 rookie card sold for $1.27 yesterday haha.

Im 40, just got into collecting cards....last time was in the 90s. It seems i just got right on time...because i wasnt awared of what happened during covid times.

Even with some of these other youtube card guys you can tell all the covid boom fly by nighter viewers are pretty much gone.

2020 was a bewildering year. Wanted the enjoyment of pulling a base card from my favorite team again... Didn't really understand the value of flipping. I lined up just like everyone else at Target and people asked why I was ripping stuff. Everyone has said this, but feels like the hobby has transitioned into only investing or speculation, not the enjoyment of the cards themselves. I walked into my LCS this weekend where I would normally pick out base singles of players I liked/teams I liked... and the boxes to do so were gone. I asked the owner and was told there just isn't any money in it. Disappointing to say the least :(

I never fell for the whole "influencer" crap. Almost all of them are unlikeable and/or sketchy to me.

Not kicking it while it's down, kicking those that told people it would only go up and to invest more in cards.

This is the best time for true sport card collectors..I’ve been buying non stop..what is going to be left is true collectors and not the scum that try to make a quick buck

People.... ITS A HOBBY!!! JGG and those other knuckleheads deserve the massive losses on the horizon. Oh me, yeah i'm just a collector who still has stuff from when I was 10 which includes the 1986 Fleer Basketball Set, some Kobe rookies, some other players I enjoy others as well. Im good.... Keep exposing these jack wagons, #SCR

My morale has gone down in the dumps.

Just for kicks and giggles. I would like to ask these folks. "Who told you to buy that card"😅

Pretty funny Panini is adding Tim Duncan auto's now that they can't sign wemby. How long until Duncan stops signing, Like thier other exclusive signer, Doncic who now has tons of redemptions

Fanatics is trying to 10X their bottom line. The licenses and acquisitions are a cost of doing business. They are paying to tap into a largely unregulated and untracked data pool that will likely lead them to the next population of gamblers. Apparel buyers and autograph collectors are fairly easy to track and they have done that for years. But nobody has tracked people who open sports cards. It’s largely a cash business (so the wife doesn’t find out…etc). Now to get allocation you need a POS system, everything needs barcodes, the data must be shared back with Fanatics. Sports cards are worthless to them, consumer data is priceless and that’s what they were buying with Topps and whatever else they can get. It’s the data, it’s always been the data. Once a store is not increasing their reach or not growing their data pool, watch the allocation slow down and or stop. Grow or close. The stores don’t matter, there will always be someone else willing to try and open a new store.

This hobby, just like any other hobby or collectable, is nothing but a bunch of hype and lies. People who believe this is an investment probably bought beanie babies too.

COMC seems very easy to log in for the past couple of weeks.

Calling the flu a pandemic is relatively ridiculous too.

I don't get it, all the cards selling on ebay for 100's make no sense. Doesn't feel like a crash

That defeated Geoff Wilson NFT clip lol

5:17 it's nuts they post wrestling market info over the UFC market. Wrestling market has nearly zero RC!!!! wth

Dude I haven’t seen a F1 card in like 2 years !!! What the hell happened!?

Laughing my ass off at the guy who said “That’s it I’m done!!!” after investing in Fields what the fuck did you imagine could happen

Seriously, how can I short the sports card market?!

How much do you let the market drop before you start buying again? The ideal situation being buying low now, then selling high when the market rebounds. How much lower do you think it will go?
