Bored With Cards?

Agree with a lot of people here. I think photos prices have been rising and hopefully are ready to break out. It seems they have steadily been rising for the last 2-3 years.

Many of us who come from the "card" side of the collecting world are most comfortable there...just like everything in life, taking some risk and being willing to learn new things takes courage, success and failure. I'm hoping the memorabilia world will also bring excitement and reward. Reminds me of when I first began collecting when it wasn't just about the money. That said, the more I reasesrch, the more I see opportunities for memorabilia investment / upside.

In the last month I picked up a piece of baseball art, a 1923 ticket stub, an old negro league magazine, and a 1906 postcard from BST. None of which I’ve ever seen anywhere. Variety variety. More variety.

I feel like the sheer volume of cards that have hit the market in the last year + has just created a totally different vibe on the card side. Auctions never end. One rolls into another into another. Every auction had scads and scads of highly regarded, coveted cards. Miss the build up and suspense of an REA auction rolling out and everyone being absolutely floored by what they were looking at.

Don't get me wrong, I do love rare / vintage baseball cards...just looking at the same cards for me has gotten a bit old. Many of the cards that I see are auctioned every year or two...literally the exact same card...just sold to a different person from a different (or the same) auction house.

Agreed that is true. However, this year I am seeing many cards that I have not seen every hit the auctions or have not seen in over a Decade. Many of the cards I picked up I never thought I would have a chance to get.

Any many I missed out on because not liquid enough to get everything I want

My specialty is autographed faux wrestling memorabilia






On other days I just enjoy sitting back and remembering the perfect game with Scott





Don Larsen was perfect but don't belittle my casino buddy Yogi





And it's hard to forget when Harvard beat Yale 29-29
