Are you concerned about the state of baseball cards with a potential lost 2027 season due to an #MLB lockout?

LeBron James Chalk Toss cards are hot. The Chalk Toss card I like is unique, because not only is LeBron doing the Chalk Toss, but his name is spelled in Chinese. The 2024-25 Panini Prizm Chinese Name Variation is the only licensed card of his name spelled in Chinese. Super cool!

If you're an Allen Iverson & Kobe Bryant fan like me, you'll love this card. This 2000-01 Stadium Club card features the icons strangely with Kobe blocking AI on his own card (Lakers fan must've picked the photo). What's cool is the Lakers & Sixers played in the Finals that year!

An under-the-radar football card insert with upside from the 90's is 1996 Fleer Metal Molten Metal. They were a tough pull - 1 in every 120 packs (1 in every 5 boxes; 4 in every case). No Barry Sanders or Jerry Rice, but there's Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Brett Favre and more!

How many autographs do you think a star athlete and/or celebrity signs a day?

This LeBron James 2004-05 Topps Chrome 2nd year card has gained momentum over the past few months. A few months ago, raw versions sold in the $60-$75 range. Now, they're selling upwards to $200. PSA 10s were selling in the $1,000 range, now they're selling around $2,000! @sixers

Logan Paul is extremely gifted. He's an incredible athlete and made the transition to being a wrestler seamlessly. It's hard to believe this 2025 Topps Now card is his only rookie card /4,940. It's a card to have in your collection. He has a bright future in whatever he pursues.

I've posted other Allen Iverson cards previously with Kobe Bryant featured on the same card. It's always special to see these two on the same card. This 1999-00 Fleer Force card is a sweet one to grab. Raw versions sell in the $15 - 25 range.

An underrated Allen Iverson RC is his 1996-97 Hoops Rookie Gold Foil card. Raw versions can be found in the $15 - $30 range. Imperfections are common. It has a low Gem rate of 9%. For comparison, Kobe Bryant's card raw sells in the $175 - $250 range. Iverson's card has upside!

In the coming weeks, I may do some streams on Whatnot. We can talk cards, you can buy cards, and I'll do some giveaways as well. Stay tuned!

Here's an insert you may not know existed, 1998 Metal Universe Football Decided Edge. These cards were super tough to pull - 1 in every 288 Packs (1 in every 12 boxes). It's a unique insert with an outer foil cover & an inner color card. They're undervalued & have great upside!

If you collect hockey cards, an awesome insert to get is from 1999-00 Topps: Stanley Cup Heroes Refractors. They were a tough pull, 1 in every 120 packs (Roughly 3 - 4 in a case). Gretzky doesn't have a card, but there's Lemieux, Roy, Jagr and others. Plenty of upside with these!

I love to prospect as much as anyone, but the bottom line is roughly 1% of #MLB & #NFL players, 3% of #NBA players & 4% of #NHL players made the HOF in their sports' history. Collect who you want, but before you spend big money on a prospect you've never seen play, opt for icons!

The gambling aspects in sports cards are buying packs, boxes & cases. It’s equivalent of spending on lottery tickets/scratch offs. Don’t buy junk or every product/fad item released. Invest in the icons, top HOFers & current players in sports. Get in low on select young players.

With the cost of GOATs rookie cards increasing daily, there are plenty of other key cards to target. In the case of @TomBrady, his first Topps Chrome card was in 2002 and featured a super clean design! Raw versions are not cheap ($250 - $400), but more affordable than his RCs.

There will be a boom on the 1995 Gold Medallion cards. Jordan's card has exploded & Griffey Jr.'s has received love, but there are so many Hall of Famers, stars & popular players across the Fleer Ultra sets. These cards are a tough grade due to the sensitivity of the gold foil.

Overall, the 1995 and 1996 (Baseball) Gold Medallion Cards with the all gold, embossed background are doing well. A lot of the top names continue to climb. One of the most overlooked cards is Mariano Rivera's rookie Gold Medallion. What a stunner that should go for much more!

A RARE baseball insert gem from the past not talked about much is 1997 Metal Universe Mother Lode. They were a super tough pull: 1 in every 288 packs (1 in every 12 boxes). These die-cut beauties are ready to rise! Raw versions of Ken Griffey Jr sell in the $1,500 - $2,300 range.

A lot of people viewed cards during that time as junk. And, if you think something is junk you’ll treat it like junk. It’s not junk when some of the greatest players in the history of sports played during what many refer to as the junk wax era.
