I thought like so many of the great fun kids things of my past, the internet had murdered things like Baseball Cards by now. During the pandemic, baseball cards made a huge comeback.

Now unless you pull a card with a 1 inch x 1 inch patch of game worn jersey glued to it or a prism dyed with the player’s blood, it’s worthless. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand that's not necessarily the case right now. Lots of people my (our?) age with nothing to do during the pandemic have returned to collecting/trading with prices climbing. https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-baseball-cards-pandemic-20210212-225ottvh4ngfjcho6qfixkqajy-story.html Not my thing, but apparently a thing.

Cool. “Investing” in bball cards or any “collectible” makes me laugh though — do it for the enjoyment. You know what’s going to be worth a ton in the future from our time? Something that everyone throws away without a second thought. Maybe Hoarders are into something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, anyone want to buy some Beanie Babies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
