Sports card collecting

Beast said

I used to collect as well. Still have some of the more valuable (albeit not much) cards that I'd collected to that point. The market became saturated with ultra high end varieties IMO. I'm not going to pay upwards of $10, $20 or $100 a pack for a *chance* at an auto or memorabilia card and 3 or 4 other potentially worthless cards. I'd rather cherry pick cards that I'm interested in via eBay, etc. But I did pass the card aisle at Walmart the other day and *almost* bought some on clearance.

The name of the game now (Jersey/ auto )sn't what it was 20 or 30 years ago. The price per pack isn't either. I have a saints jersey quad from 06 and a talman Gardner auto just because but that's it for saints stuff. Some reg base set saints cards but I toss the rest of the base set non jersey auto stuff. I'm a sucker for Allen and ginter baseball and gypsy queen finally kissed up this year. Goodwin champions gets way much of my money as well. A couple packs a week when they are available but that is about it.
