It does actually exist. It’s niche but there are people who seek those Fantasy Gods. Priest Holmes, Jamal Lewis, Ocho all have a decent following mostly for that Fantasy hay day

I definitely appreciate old games. Haven’t really gotten into the collection side yet. Always seemed like a really fun hobby

That’s fair on the global demand, but I don’t think supply is the best explanation. If anything, the hobby had more licensed competition back then—Upper Deck, Fleer, SkyBox, Topps, Donruss, Score, Pinnacle, Leaf, and others were all producing cards. Today, baseball is essentially a Topps monopoly. I think the bigger difference is where the demand comes from. Basketball has a uniquely global collector base, plus Jordan and Kobe have become cultural icons beyond sports. If MLB can continue expanding internationally with players like Ohtani, Soto, and the next wave of stars, I think baseball values have plenty of room to grow.

Yeah Chrome Black has been a lot of fun. I’m a Bucs fan so I lost it when I pulled the Emeka. The Burrow is probably the most valuable.

It’s the rule of the hobby, if it sits, it hits. That was from the last box of Finest we had.

Personally I’m just saving up my cards to send in later. I am eventually going to send in to Degree once those new slabs are out but those are just PC cards
-
It’s really more for fans than investors though. There is a chance the market moves to them one day. 10 years ago 90s inserts were niche and now they are some of the most valuable cards on the market. So you never know.
-
Yeah I think that’s the problem, there isn’t a lot of sets that do those widevisions, so limited demand.

Heck yeah! Loved Big Hurt. His no name card is on my all time grail list
-
Yeah that’s why I keep Chrome in top loaders or binders, just makes them stay flat. But don’t worry chrome bending is normal, it won’t hurt them

It’s hard rn with PSA value being shut down. You really gotta like a rookie to send it in

Way I see it, we are all here because of decisions both good or bad, so even the heart breakers made us better collectors
