CAN WE SOLVE THIS HOBBY (SPORTS CARD) CRISIS? Video and Discussion

[Bcwcardz]

To be honest, in 2052 I think a card show will be how a stamp show and collecting is today.

Modern is a cesspool compared to vintage. It’s no surprise to see it implode the way it has in terms of prices. Also the scammer quotient is off the charts with modern, ergo the “cesspool” comment. If you ever check out a Facebook scammer page, in addition to being an incredibly depressing scene, a high % of the posts relate to modern cards not to mention people not paying for “razzes” whatever the hell those things are.

That YouTube station has some good content on occasion. However they get people to click with headlines of pending disaster, economic collapse, sell everything etc. It’s the same strategy employed by many news outlets. Red ticker tape. BREAKING NEWS, that sort of thing. If it’s in all caps then it’s especially important.

Add me to the list of those with no clue what "Razzes" are!

I believe they are a new slang term for card "breaks", which was the original slang term they came up with to describe what they were doing.

Thanks, Bob - what was wrong with the term "break" I wonder?

LOL

I don't know, but thought the exact same thing you did. I guess breaks have been around long enough now that the new people entering the hobby want their own slang term to differentiate them from the older, previous generation.

Us vintage collectors must truly be dinosaurs to them!
