I know it's a boomer hobby now but is /sp/ into trading cards at all?
>>154048288Whats the Pokemon equivalent of this card?
>>154048288yeahi just scored a 9/10 charizard rookie card from a market
I be played Pokemon cards from 2007 to 2013
>>154048288I had a bunch of Yugioh cards when I was a kid, as did my friends.Never played. Just collected them, and I didn't have many I stopped pretty quick.Never was much into collecting, sorry OP
>>154048288I used to love swapping football stickersThere were no cards at the time with any popularity though
>>154048288i collected football and basketball cards as a kid. used to have fun trading with my friends and stuff.also collected pokemon cards of course but everyone did back then. pokemon hit my elementary school in 98 or 99 whenever it was like crack hit the inner citiesoh i also collected crazy bones, those were fun. not sports related but i just remembered them
>>154048288I don't think it's just a boomer hobby anymore.
>>154048314OG Charizard
for me, it was pogs
for me, it was Flippo's
>>154048288It's not a boomer hobby these days, it's a bunch of degenerates of all ages buying huge amounts of cards chasing RELICS and AUTOS and other gay shit. They just throw most of the base cards right in the GARBAGE.
>>154058974>>154059086Based millennials.>>154049614Were Crazy Bones the same as Go-Gos? I think that’s what they were called. If they were, please feel free to include yourself in my above comment.
i have a shinny France football 1998-1999 ronaldo card, it must worth a few dollaridoo
>>154059562Yeah, Go-Gos was the brand and Crazy Bones was the product like the little plastic figures. At least that's how the packages looked here in the US
>>154048288I thought about getting into them for sports cards. I never see anyone lining up to buy sports cards at the store like I do with other TCGs though. Also I don't know how to play games with the sports cards. If you could play card games with them, I probably would. The seasonal nature of actual sports and players coming and going would make me want to buy cards more often.
>>154059832>Also I don't know how to play games with the sports cards.You don't. And people don't really trade the outside of the hobbyists websites. It's really about collecting rare ones of players you love or to have a keepsake of their rookie year or something. Most of the time it's like >>154059550.
>>154059832>>154060257There actually was an MLB TCG called MLB Showdown. My only memory of it is getting a pack of MLB Showdown cards and being disappointed that they weren't regular cards.
>>154059598You did well, will you sell it or keep it forever?I have a Postal Stamp of Stalin
>collecting sports cards instead of antique French furnitureDo americans really?
>>154048288Every once in a while I see some reel about card collectors, and the new stuff is so fucking gay. How do they keep up with all the variations of slop that these companies shit out?>POV: opening 100 giga platinum chrome boosters blasters
>>154067735Card companies found out you can just churn out a billion variations of ULTRA-CHROME-HOLOGRAPH-SERIAL NUMBERED cards and people will chase after them them up like savages. It's like how record companies figured out you can just churn out 50 color variations of some record and people will fight to get a copy of the "SPECIAL SPLATTER GREEN GLITTER" edition.I hope we see a sports card price collapse.
>some guy paid 2 million dollars for this card https://goldin.co/item/2021-22-panini-flawless-triple-logoman-3lg-lbj-lebron-james-game-usedc3kir
>>154067786breh, it gets even worse with "breakers"
>>154067891>not watching hours of card breaker footage every day on instagram reels Ngmi
I collect pokemon cards with neat art
Is there anyone else where the card is more famous than the athlete?
>>154048288I used to collect hockey cards. I loved the Upper Deck Series as they usually had an exquisite photography which captured the game in an exciting way, a large set with a majority of the players and sometimes included interesting facts about their season. There used to be so many crazy and wacky designs. There still are and I love all the different designs. But some of the more beautiful cards are also very rare and therefor extremely expensive. I'd love a set of SPX 2007-08 Flashback Fabrics or Ultimate Nicknames 2010/11 but when the cards are numbered to #25 copies each it becomes too expensive to collect them. Therefor I enjoy the mid 1990s period, they printed plenty of those cards and some of them are among the most beautiful there is.>>154059550Around 1995 or so the producers began crunching the #ers and made more rare cards each year. I remember back in 2004 when I checked ebay and was stunned by an awesome Steve Yzerman collection with multiple 1/1s being for sale. 20 years ago 1 of 1s where actually rare. These days I wouldn't be surprised if there's over 1000 different 1/1s of Yzerman. When everything is unique nothing is unique. It's kinda sad when people collect not for the love of the game or the player but because the producers lures you to think they made something of quality.
>>154071022Bill Ripkens baseball card?
Sports cards lost their SOVL once they stopped being for kids and started being made for the adult collector market
Never cared for sports trading cards, had some Pokemon ones when they first came out but didn't really playActually played Yu Gi Oh and it was a mistake, never play that game
>>154076047VERY good post
>>154067511For what that old junk costs you could get a TRIPLE CHROME RELIC GAME USED AUTO SERIAL 1/15 TOPPS ULTRA ORANGE EDITION
>>154048288>is /sp/ into trading cards at all?Once every other year I buy a pack and crack just to get a nostalgia feel
there is no feel like ripping open a pack and getting a super rare shiny cardwell maybe getting the rate up in a gacha game i guess
As pointless as NFTs
Not sports cards but magical cards.
When I was in high school I wanted to beat up the Magic: The Gathering kids
>>154069086it is a little bit funny to watch people completely lose their asses on ~$1000 "ultra-high end modern" stuff like upper deck the cup if they pull the wrong rookie
