@DanielSpeight8 Well, also the fact that the card companies jacked up the printing presses which helped tank the market.

@RonDeSantis The strike absolutely killed the baseball card industry. It was the Yankees' rise that really brought baseball back as well as cheating with PEDs.

MLB never recovered from the 94 strike. The McGwire/Sosa home run chase in 1998 helped mitigate short-term damage but the league suffered the permanent loss of some fans.

Baseball was the national pastime for most of modern American history; now, football is far and away more

@RonDeSantis The ‘94 strike nearly ruined the MLB. It was a fun Summer of baseball until that strike

The statement 'Not in the early 1990s it wasn’t' is part of a conversation about the impact of the 1994 MLB strike on the baseball card market. The discussion involves historical events and their effects on sports and related industries, which can be considered a public issue. However, the specific statement in question is a brief, factual correction or clarification about the state of the trading card market in the early 1990s. It does not engage substantively with broader societal issues or policies, nor does it contribute significantly to civic dialogue. Therefore, it does not constitute public discourse.
