I haven't done a group break in months due to the ridiculous prices right now, but when I did, it was with Bateson or Laytons.
But like he said earlier, the fact that a standard Bowman box that only guarantees one auto will soon approach $350+ when just last year they were $150 or less at release should tell you something. The sportscard market is on a heater like we've never seen. Basketball has abso-freaking-lutely EXPLODED! I sold a 2012 Prizm complete set that I had priced at $70 on my table at shows for years for $1600 two weeks ago. Seriously, between Prizm Basketball, Mahomes, and Ronald Acuna, a guy who bought deep stashes of a few hundred cards for very little $5-100 (some maybe more) each, could pay off his home and almost retire off the current market. I think I've done close to $11,000 already just since the start of COVID. |

One big thing I noticed, the younger athletes seem to not really care or put any effort into their signature or autograph, it's almost like a scribble. I'm sure they sign a million items, but guys like Arnold Palmer, who I have one from '62 looks perfect and looked the same 5 years ago. Cal Ripken signed more autographs than anyone, it was perfect.
These are from 1967 Baltimore Colts camp, I got them all in person when I was 17, everyone of these you can read and this when they were from sweaty jocks working out in summer camp. This was a good day and I got about 10 more that same day such as Bubba Smith, Jimmy Orr, Rick Volk, Lenny Lyles, Bruce Laird and Don Shinnick to name a few. Players had no problem signing, talking to the fans, in fact we stood on the sideline right next to the field. Actually Gino Marchetti had retired and showed in a suit driving a convertible Cadillac Eldorado with the top down. He pulled up in the middle of the field, got out, took off his jacket and grabbed rookie Bubba Smith and starting showing what to do. Raymond Berry, Don Shula, Johnny Unitas Bill Curry, Ray Perkins, Gino Marchetti, John Mackey ![]() |

The card market is NUTS.... a pretty average Mahomes rookie can garner 500 bones if it's a 10...

National Treasures are amazing. The Duo, Trio & Quads are great ideas too.

What sport? A lot of the 80s and 90s cards (with very few exceptions) are junk

I like cards to have real life action shots. I really don't care for cards with players cut out- into disco ball backgrounds.
Now , I don't hate all of them. Some are done with balance. But prism and optic make it too passe. /overkill. |
