When will Baseball Cards make a Comeback?

Maybe we can start a baseball cards are racist campaign and convince some libs to start burning their cards.

I have 4 upper deck Griffey Jr rookie cards. Worth anything?

about the same time as soada fountains and drive in movies make a come back

The industry destroyed the market.

Nothing is rare if everything is rare. Overproduced and too many gimmicks.

There will always be rare cards of key players that fetch high prices but the glory days are long gone.

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.

Dying just like the sport itself

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 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

Back in the 90's there were a handful of baseball card shops in Baton Rouge. Most places had at least one in town. There were shows every other month or so at the Holiday Inn. There were always dudes with card booths at the flea markets. You could buy packs at just about any drug store or grocery store. I guess all of that is gone now.
