Okay guys....I'm going to start getting back into sports cards collecting. The past few years I've been collecting Pokémon cards with my son and I've been getting the itch with sports cards again. It's been a long time though and I just want to know what are the best card sets to buy? Which ones hold there value the most?

Things could have changed but Topps cards for baseball. Upper Deck for hockey. Panini for all the other sports. @cobbwebb0710 might be the best to ask on this subject. I know he and his son have been collecting.

That depends on the amount of money you want to spend? Be very hesitant on anything from Panini going forward. They lost the MLBPA license and now can’t feature any player on a current MLB roster. They never had an MLB license and couldn’t feature team logos previously.
With baseball, I like Bowman and you can’t really go wrong with anything fromTopps.
There are things that will cost you $3-4/ pack, up to $1,500/box, which may only include 2-3 cards!
Topps owns Bowman btw, actually Fanatics owns them both.
My suggestion is not worry about the value and find something you both like and collect that.

As far as NFL or NBA, Panini is great. Try “Select” or “Prizm”

On July 2 in Baseball History...​
  • 1903 - Pitcher Jack Doscher, making his debut with the Chicago Cubs, is the first son of a former major-league player to also play in the major leagues. His father, Herm, was a third base with Troy, Chicago, and Cleveland before the turn of the century.

  • 1941 - Joe DiMaggio extends his consecutive-game hitting streak to 45 by hitting a home run off Boston's Dick Newsome, surpassing Willie Keeler's all-time record.

  • 1950 - Bob Feller, wins his 200th major-league game, a 5-3 Cleveland win over Detroit in the second game of a doubleheader split.

  • 1951 - Bill Veeck gets the necessary 75 percent of outstanding stock on the last day of his option to buy the St. Louis Browns from Bill and Charlie DeWitt.

  • 1963 - At 12:31 A.M. in San Francisco, Willie Mays homers off Warren Spahn in the bottom of the 16th inning to give Juan Marichal a 1-0 victory in the National League's longest game ended by a home run.

  • 1970 - Detroit's Joe Niekro no-hits the Yankees until Horace Clarke singles in the ninth inning as the Tigers win 5-0. This is the third time in the month that Clarke has broken up a no-hitter, having spoiled bids by Kansas City's Jim Rooker (June 4) and Boston's Sonny Siebert (June 19).

  • 1986 - After 14 wins, Roger Clemens suffer his first loss as Toronto scores three times in the eighth inning to down Boston 4-2. Clemens was one game short of the American League record for consecutive wins at the start of a season.
