      Very thorough and concise. Very helpful. Thank you.

      is it better to have a 1/50 or 50/50

    • @junichihayashi5202
      @junichihayashi5202 Před rokem

      ​@@eaglesfan0965 the hobby treats bookends fairly similarly, FOTP (first off the print) and LOTP (last off the print) are terms used but it's a perceived premium by collectors. Jersey match numbers are also popular and equivalently treated.

    As a 45 year old father and new to the hobby, I cannot thank you enough for these instructional videos. They have been ridiculously valuable, and my nine year old son and I watch at least one of your videos every single night before he goes to bed. Really appreciate you.

  • @Carlos-ey8qi

    EXACTLY!!! I buy them for my son because he loves opening them. It does get pricey but to see him smile and get excited about opening them makes me happy. 😊😊😊

    So I haven't collected cards since the mid 90's and needed some education. My six year old son in wanting to start collecting, and I might as well be a rookie in this hobby again. I found this video and it's so incredibly helpful. The app is amazing as well. Thank you for this.....and Go Gators.

    I was a huge sport card fan in the 90's I kinda stopped when my favorite card company Upper Deck went away. Now I see my little brother is into getting into the hobby & teaching me about all the different variants of cards & what to look out for. I'm in my late 40's & my eyes are not to keen on spotting defects on raw cards. With grading being so expensive I can't afford to pay high end money on a raw card & hope to get a 10.

    I'm starting to love this channel and I'm a newbie..I'm gathering so much knowledge before making mistakes and there are wayyy more than I thought! So thank you for that. I come at the sports card world again after buying a small shoebox worth of cards 1990s football primarily but I bout from retail, mom and pop and even bought some cards off a friend who was a huge collector. I started scanning my box with the Ludex App and most were worth maybe 15c 70c or not much over $3 a good number were worth between $5-40....whether or not I command any such dollar online or at a card shop might not be likely but and ungraded but perhaps there's a couple.

    @jesusavila7620 Před rokem

    Wow!! So I recently got back into collecting and when I say recently I mean about a month ago. I would say 100% of what you said about ripping sealed wax boxes was true for me. I did purchase some hobby boxes and opened them up immediately and even though I did it for fun I also did it for investing as well. Clearly big mistake lol. So I’ll take a new approach from here on out and get 2-3 hobby boxes so if I DO get the urge to open a box then at least I’ll still have one or two left to store lol. Thank you for what you do, definitely subscribed to your channel after this video even though I have been recently watching them. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

    My dad, cousins, and uncles passed on hundreds of random cards to me and my brother when we were growing up. I have been going through a few of them. Some cards are very old and very cool but the newer ones seem to go for more. I'll never understand it. Also it seems like every time I have one worth money my dad either wrote on it when he was a kid or I damaged it growing up.

  • @astrozombie1984
    @astrozombie1984 Před měsícem

    Also, when did people start saying "ripping wax" and calling good cards "hits"? I'm also from the era when the packs actually felt waxy and I've never heard this until recently. I like the new terms, but I'm just curious when they started?
