Vegas Dave: The Sports Card Market will Collapse in 24-36 Months

[bbcard1]

Gary Vee put out a contradictory statement that we have just seen the tip of the iceberg.

FWIW, there are and have been a lot of things that have had pretty big run ups like Aaron rookies / Koufax / that are nice pieces that any collector would want to have but not rare. I think they could moderate. Soto, Acuna, Tatis rookies could dip but not crash. They could all be generational players. A lot of the new stuff has been very liberally produced and it could take a pretty big hit.

Looks like we need a cage match between Vegas Dave and Gary Vee. Might look something like this:

When it comes to my collectible expenditures, I place my trust in Atlantic City Sal, who knows a thing or two about a thing or two.

The only speculation in trading cards is the real high end stuff, the shill bidding within auctions and grading practices. Many of the stories I do not want to hear about when I started in this hobby, but I keep going anyways. Nothing has changed on my end still the same dealer in the middle with fair prices and some eBay auctions

Prices always change - up and down, I never thought it would come back 10 years ago - let's just enjoy the hobby!

Happy Collecting!

I only buy low grade so I'm good..

I have no idea who Vegas Dave is or why he would demean his customers, but I'm curious how he landed on 24-36 months. It seems to me that if the bubble bursts (to whatever extent) it will be sooner than that.

Six months to a year to stampede the herd towards the exit, another six months to a year to buy up everything they sold, then start pimping it all over again.

I collect those type myself.

Precursor to the Topps 3-d cards.

Never heard of this clown...but if those big time 1 of 3 cards or whatever crash, they will effect the 1% of collectors he references, not the 99%. The 99% have been waiting for a crash so we can buy more cards as said...haha. If your 57 Mantle drops to 50 bucks, I'll buy it...and thousands more will be in line. I think he had that backwards.

No matter what is said...what a jerk to insult and demean the man who just paid him millions. My dad would've kicked my ass if I did that.

Glad I sold my 4 T206 cobbs. A couple years ago. I’m 79 did not want to wait any longer. Got a great payday. Joe not sure what this guy is talking about.

Of course, no one knows whether Vegas Dave is right or not. Kind of tough to predict the future. It would not surprise me at all if there were some 'correction' in values down the road. To me as a collector, the answer has always been to buy what I like to own and look at. If the cards increase in value, good. If not, that's ok too.

To paraphrase and bastardize the great Ned Beatty as Senator Meachum in 'Shooter':

‘The truth is what I say it is’

‘It's not really as bad as it seems. It's all gonna be done in any case. You might as well be on the side that gets you well paid for your efforts. There are no sides. There’s no collectors and investors. There's only haves and have-nots. And nobody questions the Desert Douchebag, because they don't want to hear the answer because it's a lie! There's only so many places at the table, so sell out now and you can walk away with something.
