re: Are baseball cards still a thing?

I've pondered what it would take to revitalize the market. First and foremost, they'd have to cut the production runs. The main reason comics and cards from the early and mid 20th century was because of the paper rationing. They'd have to go heavy in a relationship with the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL to generate interest. I'd love to see cards come back. I'm sitting on my 89 Score Football set and a few other really good RC's that have potential if the market shook back.

Good part was being able to see through some packs and cherry pick the ones with the good cards in the back spot

My uncle had a card shop in Slidell for awhile. I figured out that the inserts weighed a bit more. Used to go weigh the packs on a gram scale and pick the ones I wanted to buy.
