Sports Card Collectors!

Maybe we could start a trade group on here? Post some things you may be up for trading. My only concern is the majority probably collect the Braves.

Have you guys ever thought about trading? Me and my son have been looking into it but I just don’t feel comfortable doing it through Facebook or Reddit.

If you go to the big show at Nashville fairgrounds next weekend (which I recommend), they have trade night on site Friday and Sat. There are a couple of local shops, Brentwood and Mt Juliet, that have a trade night every now and again.

Take your collection to the Nashville fairgrounds show next weekend. There are people there who will give you decent value so long as you leave them room to make a profit. If you want to maximize your return without directly selling, use a third party seller. I like COMC. They will do the work for a small cut and you set your own prices.

I wish we could, just can’t justify driving from Knoxville to Nashville for baseball cards.
Are you attending?

Yes. It’s a 3 day event. I will go Friday with a specific list of stuff I want and then Sunday I’ll go back to see if I can score some deals.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Share some pics of your collection. I’d love to see it as I really enjoy seeing what other collectors have.

My son and I have only been collecting for about a year now. He has a decent collection, considering.
I collected as a kid but all of that junk wax stuff is pretty much worthless, nostalgic but worthless.
I’m having a lot of fun collecting with my son, he’s 10. The hobby has changed a lot since I was young.

There’s still some holes in my 1955 Topps All Americans set (I posted some pics in this thread) and I always lookout for the really big names from the 2005 All Americans autograph cards. I recenlty had a really big hit in a online soccer break that I’m going to look to trade, assuming it gets to me next week. As for my actual list…

We attended the Knoxville sports fest a few weeks back and I passed on a Griffey UD rookie and a Shohei Topps chrome rookie for $100 for the pair and a ‘62 Topps Doug Atkins auto(not certified) for $15! I’m kicking myself for not getting all 3.
😞
I have an Atkins autograph and I’m pretty sure it was legit.

Kind of sucks that there’s not much expensive things out there unless you have a Mantle or some jersey patch card

I collected Pokémon a few years ago and made thousands from it. Sports is by far a lot tougher.

I think they should do reprint of the old sets (60’s era) and do jersey patches from that time.

Imagine pulling a Mantle with a piece of his jersey

Today’s pickups.
The Acuna is mine but the boy hijacked it as soon as I brought it in the house! I’ve been after a nice ungraded version of this one for a while now.
It’s not worth much, I just really like this card. 🤷‍♂️

The name of the game with modern baseball, is sell while they’re hot, unless you’re just a collector, which me and my son are.
Example:
My son pulled a super short print Vaughn Grissom rookie(extremely tough pull) and there where 2 on eBay for $600+
Now, 4 months later it’s a $200-250 card.
Which is still exciting for us because it came out of a $4 pack and we tend to be sentimental towards our pulls and can’t bring ourselves to let them go.
