Did anyone else get Sports Illustrated for Kids back in the 90's?
I tore this Shaq and ES out of a SI for Kids magazine 30+ years ago. They have stayed in my collection ever since.
I went to a couple card shows as a kid back in the 90's.
Nothing major, I think one was at a church and the others were at a hotel.
I remember being nervous and half way scared. I don't remember any of the adults or vendors being nice to me. I remember feeling like I wasting their time and being a nuisance when I'd walk up to their table with my huge budget of $10.
It drove me right back to buying packs at the grocery store.
I think one of the best things we've done this second time around is flipping that script. Kids getting freebies, having a blast and learning. That’s how we keep this alive. Protect the youth collectors at all costs!!! 🫡

Aka Big Bopper
1993 Topps Stadium Club
This set always had the most aesthetic and detailed photos.
Is this worse than listening to a breaker? 🤷♂️
Buying cards from the shopping channel in the 90's was no joke. 🤣

Wax Era History 📚
Flair was ahead of it's time.
Fleer launched Flair in 1993 as a super premium brand following Marvel Entertainment's acquisition of Fleer in 1992.
@UpperDeckSports purchased Fleer for $6.1 million in 2005.
Initially, Upper Deck had placed a $3.5 million bid, but during the liquidation auction, they outbid rival card companies (including Topps and Donruss) to acquire Fleer's name, trademarks, and remaining card inventory.

#'d 10/20
Numbered cards are few and far bewteen for this 2x All-Star. He was injured/retired right before inserts and #'d sets became a thing.
So when I do find them, it becomes a "take my money" type situation.
So apparently you can now use your ebay account balance to make purchases on the site now?
Well, I geuss that means a lot of card collectors will never see another ebay bank transfer again 🤣
I geuss this makes it easier for you married men to hide your purchases from the wife!
She is going to be doing a giveaway on one of her single row boxes in the next few days
@WildFlowerWS
Look at these beauties! 😍✨
I just put the finishing touches on this stunning 5-row heirloom sports card box! 🪵
I can’t begin to tell you guys how patience goes into making sure all of these slots fit just perfectly

Some people need to grasp that 90's sports cards are old.
Condition matters. Just like any other pre-modern card.
Last ebay comps are a great starting point, but they aren't always relevant.
Say You have a raw Griffey Die-cut that last sold for $325 in banged up condition, but if yours is clean, your card is worth more than $325. And vice versa.
Just sayin.
Modern sports cards are getting wrecked right now.
The vintage sports card market seems to be holding steady.
Is it an economic signal? Or did everyone figure out that chasing the latest trending rookies and unproven players normally ends poorly?
Wait until people start to realize the true scarcity of many of these 90's insert.
Glenn Davis is my ultimate PC player, and the reason is simple
When I was a kid back in the 90's, he got hurt hurt and sent to AAA, and happened to be my nextdoor neighbor.
2x All-Star, 1x Silver Slugger
Once I figured out who lived next door, I knocked on his door weekly to have him sign cards and balls (despite my parents telling me to leave him alone). He never once said no or made me feel like I was bothering him. Even became friends with one of his kids.
We all have our unique reasons for why we gravitate toward certain players.
Who’s yours?
@CardPurchaser
Donruss had some rough years, but everyone has their favorite set for nostalgic reasons.
What's your favorite year?
Which year is the ugliest?
