Sports cards are hotter than ever, for some reason.

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Aug 8 '20, 14:58

Went to the local shop to pick up some Magic stuff and he had multiple guys come in and buy boxes of Topps Chrome that just released for $285 a box. He's been having his best months ever.

The Brady I have has almost doubled, which really makes me wnat to sell it. He says to list it at $1000 and see if you get any offers.

Also you know those boxes of sports cards that have like 6 packs in them that you see at Wal-Mart and Target? Since they sell for MSRP and some of the more premium sets go for significantly more than that, there are guys who find out when they get stocked and wait there, buy out the big box place and flip them online for sometimes as much as 5 times the price. Anything you see on the shelves there probably isn't worth anything over face value.

Even the shit from the late 80’s/90’s is flying for 3-4x what it was a few moths ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 8, 15:24 4
- When I got it back, the Brady had completed listings for $3-400, here's what it's been recently. -- (link) - Tim Aug 8, 15:25 3
  - I’m buying things for the first in a long time (almost all vintage). The hobby is on fire. Between huge stars and chase rookies, it’s huge. - Will Hunting Aug 8, 15:37 2
    - The hot card in that Chrome set is Luis Robert. -- nm - Tim Aug 8, 15:37 1
      - Oh yeah, him too. It’s insane the hot young talent there is out there. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 8, 15:39
