Don’t buy a ton of expensive wax and expect to hit crazy cards. Start off small. Collect players you enjoy. Treat it as a hobby first. Spend your money wisely. 👍

I got back in the hobby about 2 years ago after a 20 plus year absence. It was very overwhelming at first. An I went about it the wrong way. Buying hobby boxes,buying into breaks etc. Agree with you guys and some others that have left comments. Buy who you like,players you followed growing up,and players you like currently. Growing up in the 80's and 90's in the north suburbs of Chicago. Some of my favorite players cards are astronomically expensive. Lol My best advice is make connections in the hobby,stay away from chasing cards in breaks and hobby boxes,and have some kind of budget. Once you start going down the rabbit hole of spending money it's like any other addiction it'll suck you in. Amazing video appreciate you!!

Similar here. Just started recently again after 22 years. I had an incident when I was a kid where 53 Michael Jordan cards I had in a case got broken open and literally the cards ended up in oil. Crazy story but after that I quit collecting. I think I was 16 then😅

I started collecting the exact same way as you guys mentioned in the video. I became enamored with Michael Jordan in 1991 when I saw the Upper Deck commercial (it had this young black boy imitating the real Michael Jordan who was projected on a large screen). I never found out what card it was until much later. It was the card at the end of the commercial. It was the promo #1 card and not the #44 from the regular set. I quit collecting for the most part. But lately I have been collecting PSA 8+ Michael Jordan cards. I have other players I enjoy watching like Pippen, Shawn Kemp, etc...

speaking from personal experience, If you are just getting into it do NOT immediately start ripping packs. I got back into the hobby like a year ago and spent about $1,000 my first month into it and maybe recouped 10% in value.

Gettin back into collecting after 30 years. I understand the premise behind " let the knuckleheads open the wax so we can just harvest the goods. " mindset, but imo ( and call me a knucklehead if you want 😂 ) part of the fun of the hobby IS ripping wax lol it's just fun to comb through the cards as you open packs, check out all the inserts, mentally berate the company that issued the cards for having to many insert sets and then give up and try to complete all of said insert sets by buying singles lol Yea ok, maybe I AM a knucklehead 😂😂😂 PS: Great content fellas, and the info is much appreciated. I subbed and look forward to more breaks and general collector knowledge!

I think the most important things in collecting are, establish your guy, who is the person you want to see, there are so many sets, parallels, autos, inserts, etc. out there that it may make it overwhelming, then establish a goal, what exactly do you want to collect from this player, numbered cards, autos, rookies only, intersting cards, etc. Finally you need to set a budget, because you dont want to go down the rabbit hole of spending to get it all and end up losing all your money on it, also remember, in thia hobby, a card is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, so try not to fall for ebay 1 of 1s

just like the 50-30-20 rule in finance, same can be applied to sportscards.. 90-10 .... 90% to singles of cards that you want, and 10% to boxes or blasters. to me?... I like about 95-5 rule. 95% to singles, and 5% to blasters, boxes, or wax (and you can adjust the numbers accordingly to how you want it). I don't 'expect' ever to get a good card, I just do it for fun. it reminds me of being young and opening '89 upper decks, '87 topps, and '93 Fleer Ultras.
