re: Are baseball cards still a thing?

As a lifelong collector I have seen it all with the hobby. Most of you commenting are basing your comments on cards that are overproduced and/or caught up in the steroid scandal era. Cards for years now have gone over a vast overhaul. Many boxes and product these days are highly sought after. The quality is better, the production limited. You can walk into a store and buy a box of cards and walk out with a four digit card. I promise if you pull an Odell Beckham autographed patch card for example in football or a Kris Bryant/Carlos Correa autographed rookie card in baseball you are looking at serious money. If you get onto eBay for any appreciable amount of time and you will know exactly what I am referring to. So please keep in mind that when you're dealing with garbage cards you will get garbage value however there is a while new realm of worthwhile card collecting out there should you seek it...
