Hobby Retrospect

Posted By: Jason L

Whilst I do miss waltzing up and down the aisles of the larger card shows in nothing but my Cubs underpants and matching cap, I will add that as dealers began to remove the price tags from their cards on display, that only furthered the attraction to EBay, where the price was as plain as day for all to see...

Major drivers of change in the hobby:
-EBAY
-Third party grading companies
-Added liquidity from soaring stock and housing markets
-The changing patterns of modern card companies' supply to the market from 1987 to today
