This was a awesome interview! Tons of great info! Loved it!😊
Thank god for some baseball talk, bring me more baseball in the future
Same here✌❤ I subscribed your channel just because of baseball⚾✌
Agreed.
Thank you for the video i enjoyed it and it was very informative im about to start collecting baseball topps chrome. I have some of my team but iam ready to rip packs and get some graded
Canseco 40/40 ..Got One of those!🤗
You should make a video on investment on sealed boxes of sports cards for long term investment maybe do low in sealed boxes and middle and high end sets thanks for sharing
“Invest in what you enjoy” and “don’t buy what you don’t know”
Buy what you enjoy. Invest in what you know.
It's easier to invest in what you love because you have more passion for research
The guy showed you the 2018 Update Bat Up RC (or Complete set #698) and described it as the Series 2 SP... the Series 2 was the Bat-Down.
Don’t think he knows his Acuna Rookies.
Glad someone else caught this cause he said the holiday was same as the update which it’s the Series 2 SP...”Topps shop of the year in the heart of Atlanta telling investors about Acuna rookies and completely mixing stuff up”
I think it was an honest mistake. He felt genuine and reasonably knowledgeable. Im a pretty serious collector but mostly hoops and fball. I still spend a few grand a year on baseball, especially when its a strong year like 2018 and 19. I took quite a bit from this. Good episode and I'm sure they will get even better.
Michael Deryder i would think that on normal circumstances but it’s concerning when that misconception has been through the hobby of what set the bat down was really in, and the fact he showed a set variation saying it was the update rookie. He’s a shop owner and in Atlanta he should be the most knowledgeable of anyone on Acuna rookies especially in the last couple weeks. This channel can be informative but I also question a lot of things with it. Anyway mistakes happen, but the entire hobby has been confused by the Acuna Topps rookies and even more added confusion isn’t good for those that may watch these videos to try and learn, not to mention on eBay so many people list the set variation as the update rookie to try and lure a bigger sell price, this can mislead many people trying to get in on Acunas and buying a lesser valued card for a more premium price
Brandon Edwards this is what I was trying to get at with comment. Also a few other things I could take issue with on what the shop owner was portraying regarding Bowman and sought after rookies... but it would get out of hand mentioning it all.
Kyle Beecker yes I’m the same way and I knew exactly what your comment was about as soon as I seen it I told my wife he’s mixing all this up!
For reference if anyone reads these comments, the bat down is a series 2 SP, there’s a card with the same photo with snowflakes from 2018 holiday mega boxes, then there’s metallic versions of the snowflake as well as gold metallic which is 1/1.
The update Acuna (bat up) is the “base” update card, they used this exact same photo in the complete sets as card # 698 EXCEPT the Topps logo and the RC logo are on opposite sides of the cards. The set variation has the logos on the right of the card and is numbered 698 with Series 2 underneath it. The update card has the logos on the left side of the card and will say update underneath the card number which is US250.
There is a SP in update as well which Acuna in a blue and red shirt, this is also card number US250 to further the confusion there are TWO more ssp variations of US250 one of him batting in a white jersey and another of him near the dugout in a white jersey with his glove.
Again there are also colored parallels etc that are numbered, the rainbow foils which are unnumbered etc. but please pay attention when buying as the bat down is obvious the snowflakes aren’t the SP. and that card is in series 2 packs not update packs. The update has 2 that look exactly the same so if buying on eBay and you want the update make sure the logos are on the left and the back says update series and is card number US250!
Hope this helps anyone who is confused and reads this and I may possibly be missing some but this can clarify most of the confusion lol
Seen that card of jose Canseco 40/40 card the other day fliping thru my jose Canseco binder I keep that binder just for him lol
Thank you for your time and knowledge. Great videos.
I love all of your videos but this one is my favorite so far. Thanks for the info! It has helped me in a big way. Please keep these videos coming.
Your knowledge in this area is priceless! Good information that is in depth but also easy to follow, thanks again.
This is one of my favorite channels. When I have the time I listen to every episode.
Thanks for this
Another great episode! Thank you!
This was a great interview. I'm going to go checkout his shop next weekend.
I love this podcast! Keep up the great work!
Can't wait for Sunday's and Wednesday's now! Great content! Keep the very insightful info coming.
Great content thanks! Stock tips next???
I was just at his shop 5 days ago very good stuff
For around 200 or 300 dollars what product would you invest in doesn't matter the year I kinda like older baseball cards of a sealed box thanks
great episode
Hey great to meed you. Just back into the hobbies and buying and selling to support my addiction. Great videos.
Yay baseball! Can’t wait to watch/listen to all of this
🔥
Benito Santiago also played for the Beaumont Golden Gator. In my neck of the woods.
Im looking to buy again but Im not sure what hobby box is best? Topps Chrome? Bowman?
What about topps gypsy and topps Allen & Ginter? From an investment standpoint? Thanks.
Not the best cards to appreciate. People like plastic material cards like Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome, Topps Finest, etc. Yeah they cost more than Gypsy and A&G but they also appreciate faster.
If Chrome and Finest is too expensive, just buy what you like as a collector as long as you don't extend yourself. Most people will never make real money investing in cards (most lose money) so it's actually smart to not invest/speculate on cards
@@sp123 tha is for the perspective. I really appreciate it.
For someone like myself who has been collecting for 40 years+, and remembers the junk wax era debacle, it is great to see the hobby once again growing and getting recognition. I hope the card companies learned their lesson and never again mass produce cards for the sake of greed. I would love to see fewer products so the companies could spend more time innovating and curing their checklists.
I have the same concern, but i wonder how many kids are buying 250$ 5 card packs today and will they still want the 1 of 1 card in 20 years and willing to pay big bucks. Starting to think gimmicks like diamonds, pearls, parallels, and sticker autos have become the card compaines modern expensive junk wax and don't get me started on redemptions that expire in a couple of years after release. I guess we will find out in 20 years.
Geoff I have an idea that I would like to ask you about, how can I get ahold of you ? I’m not good at using a compluter
I’m a Big Fan of Topps Archives Auto Numbered Cards that are sealed.
Is Juan soto a good rookie card to buy
Yes just bought one
wha about the people who ONLY collect certain teams?
Awesome
I love the channel and I would be interested in calling to talk cards
Patrick from Valuetainment has a AMAZING High End card collection. He has cards that people dream about
Any chance you're going to make this same type of episode for Hockey?
Ive bought from this guy on eBay occasionally
i have so many damn carrds man ive beeen looking through them some are worrth money how can i get rrid of them legit idk how to psa
I love the intro for your channel, its like a tv show lol
I'm not sure that's a compliment lol
So wait I'm just getting into collecting what's the best current Topps card series to collect and what's the top current Bowman card series? Also is Topps or Bowman better? I see this debate everywhere with no clear answers. Please help, what should I be looking for? Im a newbie.
Do more baseball videos. Love your feedback.
Again great content. I not only enjoy your episodes but they worth re-watching because of the resourceful information. I hope you you consider doing live pack openings or even a paid break. Lots of fun!
ACUNA WAS ONLY A SHORT PRINT IN SERIES 2 YES YOU CAN GET A ACUNA IN EVERY COMPLETE SET BUT IT IS THE SAME PICTURE AS THE CARD IN UPDATE BUT DIFFERENT NUMBER BUT IS SAME NUMBER AS THE ACUNA SHORT PRINT BAT DOWN
Thank you for sharing your channel link with me on Twitter! Great content and I'm quickly becoming a fan. #101
For one, the acuna bat down came out in tops series 2 as a super short print. It did not come out in update. And when talking boxes. Topps update comes in the following. Retail: Feeder packs ($2.99), fat packs $4.99, hanger boxes 9.99 (he said 36 cards - which is completely wrong) comes with 60+. Blaster boxes ($20) retail boxes (24 packs) typically $60. Then hobby and jumbo (hta). Primary differences vary but for example 2018 update. SSP were limited to hobby only. Black parralells limited to hobby and jumbo only. Acetate limited to hobby only. All information you can find on cardboard connections but just wanted to clarify since he isn’t giving proper information
My main surprise was how he got the Acuna so wrong. The bat down, as you said, is only a short print from series 2 or in the holiday, but in that it's just a regular print rookie. The bat up he showed was obviously the regular rookie issue in Update. Someone in the "Know" also told me that 2019 Sr 2 was shorter printed this year than Update, so it may be an excellent product to put aside, with Jimenez, Tatis, Alonso etc
Iv recently got into sports card, I'm a white sox fan/investor. Theres a lot of up and coming sox players so iv been buying thier prospect and rookie cards. Is bowman/topps inception and bowmans best good investments?
Are you interested in looking at some to buy? My dad has had thousands for years and were now going through them. Finding some potential diamonds according to ebay comparisons.
Hope you looking at completed sales and not active asking prices. Lot of people goes by what one is asking and not what it actually sales for. If you comparing them right and see diamonds then you should put them on ebay and sell them to world wide audience. You will do a lot better then what one man will pay you.
THAT GUY "THE GUEST" HAS A SURPRISINGLY COOL HAIRCUT!
You not gay? Why you worrying about a man hair style?
This dang Mike Trout rookie is causing a ridiculous increase in Topps update. It’s silly that a “rookie card” from update could be worth more than the actual rookie in series 2.
Here’s my lower end affordable top 5 list
1) Bowman draft
2) Bowman prospects
3) Topps chrome
4) Topps heritage
5)Topps base ie; series 1/2 and update
Is the Heritage the same brand as the Gallery?
Lebron Topps Chrome RC!
You’re not suppose to answer it publicly
@@ronaldsettipane7143 Whoops! Sorry!
What about non-sports trading cards?
Pokemon, Fortnite, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic the Gathering, etc
Geoff - I have a question and would love a reply/ maybe even a video on it?
I am 40. Started back in the hobby 3 months ago after being like many of us 1989 to 1993.
Grading is a new world - so I have been learning.
My understanding is the following.
1. Grade for Grade, PSA>BGS unless BGS is Black Label.
2. PSA is worth more than a BGS grade.
3. Yet, many feel a BGS 9.5 is that of a PSA 10.
I just picked up a 2013 Bowman Chrome Carlos Correa Refractor /499 Auto. It’s a BGS 9.5 with 2 sub 10s on corners and centering, a 9.5 edges and 9 surface. I paid $228.
Yet, the same card has an ASK well into 4 figures as a PSA 10 - and is POP 11 at that grade.
So why not crack that BGS case, submit to PSA get back what is likely a 10 (subjective I know) and $$$, in theory.
Am I missing something?
As an investment banker that loves analytical work, buy low sell high and collecting - this is a lot of fun and I can really relate to your thought process. Thanks.
PSA 8. I like it. You speak well but wish you’d make your points more efficiently.
Great conversation man..I feel like you all and I could talk for hours! I'm getting back into collecting and I'm looking to open a shop before too long. Investing at this point is one thing, but bringing in the right reps to help get off the ground is about impossible! I'll keep watching thanks!
Soccer 101? Topps Now. Any soccer print run under 100. You don't need to wait on your profit either.
Only 100 of each base player ? Secondly which Topps soccer product are you referring to?
@@90210bribri The Topps Now online cards. Many have prs under 100 of Kane, Messi ect. Get them graded and you make a rare item even more so.
Given the interest in Acuna, that was a key talking point, and it was messed up completely. Anyone walking in with no knowledge of the situation is now 10x more confused, and to be honest it's not all that complicated. Yowch
They almost know as much about cards as I do. Not really but good show regardless.
Jeff is rich!!
Did someone say BASEBALL 😀
Baseball.the great American past time.
My concern is card collecting was something we did as kids, now that I'm older and have money I buy expensive cards from my youth, the ones I could not afford like Jordan and Gretzky rookies two cards I put serious cash into this decade. The issue I have when I go to card shows or card shops is all I see are older men like me buying ridiculous priced special and hobby break boxes now. When I talk to my son and his friends they don't even watch baseball never mind collect baseball cards. Better hope us old men keep buying cards from each other in 20 or 30 years because this generation could care less about sports cards or even the sports like how i grew up. I often wonder if I would have watched as much sports or collected cards if I had internet, iPads, ps4, you tube, esports, mobile phone games, Instagram ... i seriously doubt i would be spending mid size car money on pieces of cardboard or acitate 20 years later.
Thats a good point
I think i currently agree about this generation and I think it's mostly the older Generations 30s-60s that are moving this market and showing new interest and now that many of them may have money to come into it and actually complete sets and get cards they wanted, where they didn't have that extra money when they were younger so fell out of it, also that they remember loving it as kids but grew up realizing the cards weren't worth much because of the over production and supply exceeding the demand... but now that the companies learned from it and are creating intentional scarcity and the grading system is around it's all coming together to give new life to the hobby and market from an investing standpoint... finite commodities are always good ways of storing value and profiting... I think as long as the manufactured scarcity remains it's going to be a good investment..
As for the kids, I think that comes down to the parents in their 20's and 30's now, I think with their renewed interest in it, it will begin to carry over to the kids... as they grow into their teens and early twenties and in ten years from now I think it will be a different situation with a new, much larger generation coming into the market and hobby and changing the dynamics again. Also crating more demand, which is my concern that the companies will get greedy and start flooding the supplies again. If they don't and stay the course, people getting in now or that were already collecting and trading, will all be doing very well in a few years and decades time financially from their card investing.
That's my two cents
Awsome video !! Thanks for all the info. I have been out of the hobby for like 20yrs but getting back at it . I made a video about some cards i bought lol
Good interview BUT GOSH LET THE MAN TALK EVERY TIME HE TALKS U SAY YEA YEA KINDA INTERUPTING HIM RUDELY
this guy sounds just like Al Gore....Blaster Box, Wax Box, Lock Box
Also... all bowman chrome “silver” refractors are numbered to 499. Get the facts right please. Topps chrome silver refractors aren’t numbered but topps
Chrome update refractors are numbered to 250
