It is amazing how much knowledge one can gain by diving in and really understanding a craft. I've found over just a few months after returning to the hobby, how much the hobby has evolved and changed. Just watching videos, reading articles, asking questions of other hobbyists has given me invaluable information that I'll always be thankful for. One piece of advise I'll always appreciate is "Being forced to keep something you love...is never a bad thing, so collect what you love." My personal favorite is collecting Select Certified Rookies. A low value insert, but one of my favorite designs, so it's easily collectable. The player names in script and a simple front design just appeals to me.

Just put this on while I am working through emails so not sure if you mention it but I think the best price to place on that Fogel Mantle is "Priceless". It could literally sell for any price well above 50m if someone truly wanted/needed it.

Great content Geoff but don’t say I didn’t warn you Soccer is not the answer. A player who will hold just as much value as Mantle in the future will be Tom Brady. He’s truly undervalued still. Either way, we all have opinions and that’s what’s fun about the Hobby

great show Geoff and Kelly I got back into baseball back in 2020 and it is all i think about 24/7 it has more to do with the current players and the talent level than the history for me i love it. Although i do respect the history. baseball is going nowhere.

I think baseball's wanning is partially due to societies overall morphing into a society of "I need it now, I need scoring now, and ALOT OF IT"! Baseball as a sport is similar to soccer. If you do not know the underlying cat and mouse game that goes on between the batter/catcher/pitcher and how that affects the other 7 players on the field, you dont know the complexity of the game and sometimes dont appreciate the game as much as a true, die-hard baseball fan. Baseball will ALWAYS have a massive importance in the hobby because of it's rich history and the fact that modern players even look to records set by guys like Mays, Aaron, Ripkin, Rose etc...

@@duanetomka6559 Modern basketball prices are a joke but at least there is interest in the prospects. I buy mostly pre-panini cards. Topps, Fleer, Bowman ect. I think basketball will outpace baseball and football in popularity. Too many baseball players and football players that waters down the sport. Baseball has like 3 popular guys in the entire league. That's a problem to me. Otahni is the only savor in the sport at this point. Good luck in baseball. Vintage seems cool, but the prices never move. I'd rather park my money in Tesla stocks or Apple stock at that point. Doesn't make sense how modern prospect cards go for more than Vintage HOF's. Unless its a goat card. Im not "Collecting" cards anymore. Sell them all off. Trade up.

I'm so tired of the "soccer is the future" argument. That's been a thread for so long. It isn't the case, and won't be the case anytime soon. Eight percent is in no way significant. If Fogel says to buy icons, what soccer player is an icon in American folklore? There isn't one, and there won't be any time soon. Don't waste your money projecting soccer. Horrible idea.

It's not just the increased popularity and participation of soccer/football in the United States that will drive the growth over the next decades, it's the potential growth of the sports card hobby spreading across the globe, and soccer/football benefiting from being the world's biggest sport. The latter is the biggest factor that could have most impact.

I just don’t see it with soccer. Will it increase in value as a whole over time? Yeah, maybe/probably. Do I think people that don’t care about soccer will start jumping on that bandwagon? Maybe some. The problem is that people like me don’t care AT ALL about the sport and know nothing about the players and aren’t really willing to learn. I don’t watch it. I’ve tried. I don’t like it. This is one person’s opinion but I get the feeling that there’s a lot of others like me. Americans drive a lot of the sports card market and there just doesn’t seem to be a huge demand coming from Americans compared to other sports. It’s a low scoring, slow, non-exciting sport to the majority (not all).

@@itsgeoffwilson we’ll just have to wait and see! I hope it gets more demand from a card collecting standpoint because that exposes more people to “cards” as a whole. Having more people in the card “ecosystem” should theoretically lead to more opportunities for those same people to branch out into other sports as well, so I look at that as a win win for all involved. I’m certainly not wishing bad things for soccer, I just have some skepticism. Great video. Thanks for the content!
