Cards are still valuable outside the period of over production
No shite....the 1909 T206 Wagner I keep in my wallet is probably pretty valuable right

When will Baseball Cards make a Comeback?
When people who are/were into baseball cards have more money. When people become nostalgic and have money to burn, the demand will increase.

They won't.

First upper deck card to ever be produced. I would get them graded

I collected a ton of cards in the 80's and 90's. It would not surprise me if I had 200,000+ at one time. Looking back on it, what I liked about collecting was having several brands (Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score, Upper Deck) for each year. It was feasible to collect a complete set of each. What I didn't like, starting in the 90's, was each brand having a dozen or more sub-sets and inserts. The rarer the insert, the harder it was for a kid on allowance money to complete sets, unless you were lucky enough to pull it out of a pack (which I never was).
These days, you pretty much have Topps. If I could wave a wand, I'd bring back the five major brands but keep the insert sets to a minimum.

You're in the wrong era... maybe if you wait another 100 years or so.

I don't think it will ever come back like it used to be. Kids are different and they are the lifeblood of the industry.
I bought my kid a rookie Bregman and Nola last year for a good report card. He was excited to get them.

Lolz. Baseball isn't dying. It's certainly in decline and has problems appealing to younger viewers raised on instant gratification, but one could argue the NFL has far more issues going forward, especially with CTE. You can play baseball until you're 50. Some NFL players don't live past 50.

Make Baseball Cards Great Again?
Price them so that they will be worth something later. In the 90s the card makers priced them way too high. Bought them while sons were young, 83-90 something.
Rookie cards of Don Mattingly, Cal Ripken, Strawberry and Doc Gooden. Also have each version of Billy Ripken's censored bat knob - one uncensored.

Went and bought a Box set of the Topps 2017 series. Checked out the list of names from the series. Has most of the Astros which is what I was hoping. Altuve, Springer, Bregman (and his rookie card), and Correa from what I remembered.

When everyone throws theirs away, because they are collecting dust, yours will go up.
Posted on 11/11/17 at 6:37 pm to tketaco
when you have 100 companies now producing cards, it makes them worthless, unlike many years ago when they had just a few out there. i haven't bought cards prolly since the 90's

I have complete sets of Topps going back to the mid-1950s with the exception of one or two years and only need a couple of cards in those years to complete the sets.
Been collecting since I was knee high to a grasshopper and my two older brothers did as well. I ended up with all the cards when they went off to college, war, etc. My dear old late Mom knew how much they meant and she never threw them out.
Since the 70s I've bought two sets a year and have never opened them (Topps mainly) and even have all this stuff listed in my will to my kids and grand kids.
I keep them in a large safe along with several early, real, Ty Cobbs, one Honus Wagner, and some other tobacco cards including Tinkers, Evers and Chance.
As to the cards from the mid-80s forward they really mean nothing to me other than possibly being worth something in unopened sets several years now when my grandkids need some $.
For those who give a damn my favorite set is the 1960 (or 61) set where the Pirates beat the Yankees even though the Yankees blew them out in three of the seven games.
