@ErictheBald72 @DanielSpeight8 I just wished as a kid I liked basketball as much as I liked baseball, because had I stocked up on 86 Fleer basketball as much as I did on (now worthless) 86 Topps baseball I’d have probably ended up with dozens of MJ rookies.

@RonDeSantis @DanielSpeight8 Similar to a lot of my friends sir, I re-engaged with the hobby in 2023 after I stopped collecting in college back in the 90’s. Now it’s sort of obsessive but i consider it my outlet from work.

@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.

@RonDeSantis @DanielSpeight8 The trading card market is thriving.

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

The statement is a personal reflection on past interests in sports card collecting and does not engage with broader societal issues or public concerns. It is part of a casual conversation about the trading card market and personal hobbies.
