They’re cool cards. I’m trying to gradually learn some about Pokemon because a friend is starting to collect them. And someone at my hobby shop pointed out that, unlike athletes, Pokemon don’t get injured and have their cards lose value

[KJXploR]

I’m looking forward to seeing what you share from your PC. I do really like seeing what others collect

[KJXploR]

So you were an “early adopter.” It’s good when you can get in on the ground floor

Fascinating that Pokemon caused the boom. I’ll follow that page on Instagram. I find all of this very interesting. I don’t collect Pokemon but have a friend who just started. I’m wondering if the Covid time of not going out sent more people into card collecting/trading/flipping

I’m especially liking the Hunter Greene and the Skenes. Don’t think you can go wrong with any Skenes

Holliday’s a nice card. He’s one I enjoy collecting to a lesser extent. I did buy a rookie bobblehead kind of as an investment hoping he makes it big

[KJXploR]

That’s what’s so impressive to me. It tells you a lot about who he is. And it sure explains his routine and focus

[KJXploR]

Thanks, it’s very helpful to have input from folks who know a lot about cards and sets and how cards are usually packaged

It sure seems to be booming right now, and there’s a cause. But what the cause is (many causes are) is the question, at least for me. I wonder if there will be a crash. How long can collecting boom? That’s one reason for me to focus on my PC. It will have value for me no matter boom or bust in the hobby

Thefts? People stealing cards? I remember reading about some really pricy cards being stolen at a show. But is it happening a lot? I guess I should assume it is since there are cards that bring BIG BIG bucks

[KJXploR]

You were a Skenes fan before everyone else got on board 🙂

[KJXploR]

I’m now following that page. If you have other Insta pages you recommend I’d love a list. Maybe even a video taking about the different social media sites that could be helpful to us collectors?

[KJXploR]

Wow. Just wow!! Thanks for sharing. Sooooo interesting. Now I you’ll have me researching past years. We’re in a boom right now aren’t we?

[KJXploR]

I haven’t reached out yet but I will. I was wondering if there was something about the loader that was connected with Allen & Ginter. But after talking with my hobby shop guy and y’all here I don’t think believe that

[KJXploR]

I’m glad y’all are sharing other graders you’ve tried. It helps me in considering them and having an idea what to expect. Thanks for the recs!
