@RonDeSantis @DanielSpeight8 Agreed, junk wax era, obviously you’re a bit occupied, but if you’ve gone to a show recently they are always packed. National Sports Collectible Convention in Chicago had record attendance.

@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

The statement is part of a conversation about the trading card market and its fluctuations over time, particularly in relation to events like the COVID-19 pandemic. It does not engage with broader societal issues or public policies, but rather focuses on a niche interest area.
