re: Are baseball cards still a thing?

If I recall correctly, 1994 was when the industry was called out for falsely stating the number of cards that they produced.
I had a '93 SP Bledsoe rookie card that in its peak was worth 175 then after the report came out it is worth about tree-fitty, $3.50.

I have a Bowman Griffey rookie card. Also have Steve Yzerman's rookie card (hockey Hall of Famer for those who don't follow the NHL).
One reason people don't pay attention anymore is a pack of cards is something like a dollar for a pack of 5 instead of 40 cents for a pack of 15. That means it takes a ton of money and way too much time to compile a set. And the whole point is to either compile a set or get everyone on your favorite team.
I might occasionally buy one pack (especially an old one) for nostalgia purposes but I don't collect anymore.
