I’d get 5 $20 Pokemon cards: some versions of Umbreon, Eevee, Charizard, Charmander, and Pikachu.
OR I’d get an Olivia Miles draft night card plus whatever other of her cards I could get for the 100.

I’ve used wooden stands on shelves where I’d set up cards though I’ve gone to other things on my shelves lately. I ordered from Etsy and had some custom made for the specific shelf space I had. But that was just for a handful of cards. I displayed autographed baseballs and bobbleheads in the same grouping based on favorite players.
I’d say it depends on how many cards you want to display. I saw all kinds of options when I was looking online to decide how I wanted to set up my displays. I bet some people on here have some great suggestions based on cool stuff they’ve done.

Amen, I agree with you. I love that your whole family collects and has such diverse interests. But that collecting is a family commonality. I was never much of a collector until now. It ties in with my choosing to watch the Braves almost every day because I’ve had retired family and friends do that (and I grew up watching and playing sports). And now I’m that age. I made that decision in 2022 and decided I needed favorite players so I chose Strider and Michael Harris. And then added Adley Rutschman because I wanted more than only Braves. And then I remembered “hey, there are baseball cards and you can get them online from all kinds of sources.”
And an addiction was born!

I started off PCing the Braves but that got to be too much and I decided I had to limit that. I just mailed the Ozzie part of my collection to an elementary-school-age cousin and he was PUMPED to get it. I put it and some other Braves cards in a little binder. His mom filmed his reaction. I’m pretty sure he appreciates the little collection a lot more than I did!!
I don’t see how you could keep up with the many many many many cards released now and collect a whole team. Maybe certain sets. I kind of did that with Topps Chrome Platinum and A&G for the Braves a couple of years.

Not that I follow this very well but often I try to buy in off season, so since I collect baseball and WNBA I shouldn’t be buying sports cards now. Pokemon on the other hand…
And with the Pokemon I’m wondering how the big 30th anniversary release will impact things. I’ve seen some previews and they’re really cool cards! But will they flood the market so we all can afford them OR will it be a limited release which means the most popular ones will be out of the price range for most folks??? What’s your guess?
-
Too funny! Did you tell her which she matched best with??
-
Makes sense to me!
-
Would you get a sports card or Pokemon?
-
Why Psyduck? I’m not questioning your strategy but want to know how you’re thinking
-
I don’t mean the “good” cards just any of their cards. lol
-
I agree. The talent level, mental toughness, and work ethic of the big stars would translate well to the knowledge and technology of today. Fast-twitch muscle and hand-eye coordination and sheer strength weren’t just invented, were they? 😁

Though sometimes out of curiosity I’ll ask someone who knows next to nothing about sports if they’ve heard of an athlete, and yes, they’ve heard of Shaq. He’s a part of popular culture so maybe that’s it??
-
Yes! I’ve seen the Shaq values jump in the last two weeks too. Why do you think?? It’s puzzling to me!

I think PCA is a smart investment. I’ve like him from the start but haven’t chased any of his cards. The fact that he’s in the NL MVP conversation with Shohei says a lot about what people think about his season and skill set. As for the 30th Anniversary Pokemon I won’t be standing in line anywhere so I’ll be waiting for… well something! I’m not sure what! I do look forward to seeing what the set looks like.

Apps can sure help, especially with a collection the magnitude of yours! And some apps can help you sell if/when you decide the time is right. I’m guessing Market Movers is one of those. I’ve looked at it but decided that it’s not what I need.
