QUOTE(northicehero99 @ Nov 27 2019, 11:49 AM) Arty great point on the group breaks. I did not even think about this, but you are correct. A perfect example is Black Diamond hockey, it used to be a 24 pack box with several hits and box priced under $100. Now it is a "higher end" product with 5 cards per box, some of the cards contain either manufactured patches or diamonds and the box is mostly "hits", and only 1 numbered base. This does lean to group breaks rather than set collectors/builders, unless you are a gambler or have $ to throw around. Trading is another animal, too much confusion on what is the value, some use beckett, some use ebay sales, others COMC sales, others who knows how they come up with it? Then postage to mail the trade, is more than some cards are worth, especially to Canada, so that makes it harder to trade. Also, the fact that everyone wants the top players vs. teams players in trades makes it hard. I don't want to "trade down", but lots of traders want you to, because it is what you collect. Some are fair, but there are a lot of "flippers"/"investors" nowdays in the arena. Great point Brian, it is almost impossible to trade anymore especially if the person knows that’s who you collect for instance I primarily focus on my Keith van horn collection these days and if some has something I’m interested in they usually ask for Jordan, Kobe, Lebron or whoever the hottest rookie is at the moment. Now I don’t mind trading in their favor but I’m not looking to trade a $400+ card for a card I could buy for $50 And don’t even get me going on shipping 😩 pay $1 for the card and $4 to ship hoping they at least use a bubble mailer |
