    Don’t buy a ton of expensive wax and expect to hit crazy cards. Start off small. Collect players you enjoy. Treat it as a hobby first. Spend your money wisely. 👍

    I got back in the hobby about 2 years ago after a 20 plus year absence. It was very overwhelming at first. An I went about it the wrong way. Buying hobby boxes,buying into breaks etc. Agree with you guys and some others that have left comments. Buy who you like,players you followed growing up,and players you like currently. Growing up in the 80's and 90's in the north suburbs of Chicago. Some of my favorite players cards are astronomically expensive. Lol My best advice is make connections in the hobby,stay away from chasing cards in breaks and hobby boxes,and have some kind of budget. Once you start going down the rabbit hole of spending money it's like any other addiction it'll suck you in. Amazing video appreciate you!!

    I do mags. Even for 2 dollar autos of guys I liked when I was younger, fan favorite types.
    Remember, it's your collection. Collect what you like and don't collect through boxes unless you are into building sets.

    It's easy to become overwhelmed. Starting out simple and spending time figuring out what you want to collect is important. Do research, be patient and have fun.

    I think the most important things in collecting are, establish your guy, who is the person you want to see, there are so many sets, parallels, autos, inserts, etc. out there that it may make it overwhelming, then establish a goal, what exactly do you want to collect from this player, numbered cards, autos, rookies only, intersting cards, etc. Finally you need to set a budget, because you dont want to go down the rabbit hole of spending to get it all and end up losing all your money on it, also remember, in thia hobby, a card is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, so try not to fall for ebay 1 of 1s

    The demand changes so quickly in cards that the best strategy is to collect HOF’ers and to do it for the hobby and not the money. I have a Barry Sanders PC, most cards are 2$. That’s the right way.

    It should be about COLLECTING first! Love the video. I still buy a little bit of wax, but it's rare. I'm collecting what I liked as a kid. Sure, it's fun to invest and flip, but I got back into this during Covid to collect and enjoy the cards. This should be required viewing before people go to the National.

    just like the 50-30-20 rule in finance, same can be applied to sportscards.. 90-10 .... 90% to singles of cards that you want, and 10% to boxes or blasters. to me?... I like about 95-5 rule. 95% to singles, and 5% to blasters, boxes, or wax (and you can adjust the numbers accordingly to how you want it). I don't 'expect' ever to get a good card, I just do it for fun. it reminds me of being young and opening '89 upper decks, '87 topps, and '93 Fleer Ultras.

    That's exactly what they are is knuckleheads people say buy singles instead of wax because normal joe can't afford to open hobby. Everything in the hobby has increased, but mostly prices for boxes I mainly open hockey and you can't tell me a box normally sub $100 is $200 now that's messed up maybe one day things will come back to reality
