      ​@@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.

    unless it`s the top 1% of players, Brady, Jordan etc. you will never get the money back that you invest unless you get the rare great deal. You will have difficulty selling your cards. Card shops are rare, ebay is a crap shoot. I`d collect for your enjoyment.

    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.

    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.

    Jeff I'm 45 years old been collecting my whole life and when I pull or purchase a sweet PC it goes on my nightstand right next to where I sleep they are my babys until my next one comes along, you know I only have so much room on my nightstand. I hate it and it almost brings me to tears that my 8 year old son doesn't hardly get to enjoy the heavenly joy of pulling a sweet PC like I have done my whole life up until about 7-8 years ago when the price of boxes or hell even packs seemed to almost tripled. I can't even afford to rip anymore but what bothers me more is my son doesn't get to. Having a family and putting a roof over their heads, food in their stomachs, and clothes on their backs. There's not enough money left to pay the price they want for just one pack never less a hobby box or retail for that matter. It just kills me that my son will probably never get to experience the joy and the love of ripping😢

    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.
