How much potential growth on investment do you see in the next 25, 50 years in cards? I haven't bought a card in over 25 years and feel like I need to raid my parents basement before I royally regret it.

The junk wax era from our youth hasn't made a come back yet, but some are predicting it will. 70's and earlier have started coming back. Early Basketball if you have any in the basement would be worth finding. Qb's are your hot cards for sure. New Basketball. I'm lost with Baseball, still learning the new stuff. All the cards I put up today are also numbered. Some to only 25. So rare prints. I just won a Josh Allen card in an auction, I had the Bills. When it was pulled the auction went nuts, said it was a case hit. Which I guess means 1 card in every 200 to 300 cases I was told today.. Very rare. We'll see when it comes. I have talked to a few deals. Low end value $1000, High $5000. Every time I talk to someone the price goes up.lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really interesting how things/collectibles go through phases and certain companies step in and reinvigorate the medium being collected. I’ve seen it happen in vinyl records many times the last several years. I know NOTHING about sports cards, but I do have a few dozen NFL cards from the mid 1970s (was obsessed with the LA Rams back then for some reason) that I can’t seem to part with. I like to look through them every once in awhile to remember those times. I am sure they are next to worthless, but I like having them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point the junk wax era caused by Topps flooding the market, will make a come back.

Lostin76 Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 Have been on a bit of a classic Case (for me that means 1970s- mid 1980s) kick recently. Just picked up this 1976 Stockman - love the “For Flesh Only” etching on the spey blade. Second pick shows most of the Case from the above era that I’ve picked up over the last couple of months. Lots of good condition knives out there, but the prices are definitely climbing. In the second pic, bottom row on the right side are two Case knives that were a collaboration with Tony Bose. I’m guessing people on an IU message board might know of Tony. LEGENDARY knife maker from Indiana (Wilfred), who breathed new life into traditional pocket knife patterns. His custom knives started at a couple thousand up to like $12K. What’s cool is that he started working with Case each year on a collaboration knife. He would give them two knives he built. One put together and one in pieces. Case gave those two knives to a small team of their best knife makers and they used those two examples to build a limited set of Case/Bose collab knives - usually in runs of about 100-300 per year. You can basically get a Tony Bose *this* close to custom for MUCH cheaper. These run about $400-500 if you can find them at list price, or up to $800 on Ebay. The finish and tolerances on these knives are insane. They just feel like quality in your hands.

If you ever want to move them yell at me. They are pretty sweet - the Youngblood twins, Vince Ferragamo, Lawrence McCutcheon. Can’t imagine ever moving them, but now I know how to if I want to. They are probably not well protected. Just in a little tin box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostin76 Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) All these Case knives are from the time period 1964-1986. Pretty sure most of us grew up with Case knives. They are classics for a reason. Edited March 26, 2023 by Lostin76 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted March 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Pulled this rare PM from the card shop in Btown today. From a pack. The owners didn't want me to leave with it but didn't offer enough yet. Eli's s is selling for 600 on eBay. What should this one sell for?

Really cool stuff. I've got unopened boxes of baseball and football cards that I need to eventually do something. I cringe at knowing somewhere I had Tiger's rookie card (SI for Kids) in 90's. I had the subscription growing up and we never got rid of it until late 90's. Just knowing a landfill in Northern Illinois has that card makes me sick.

My Mom always had a good eye for buying things and setting aside (Star Wars stuff I've mentioned on here before). She passed away early in life (1985) and I just can't bring myself to sell them honestly. I showed one collector here in Indy my 1981 box of Topps cards and he goes you know what might be in there right? I said yep...Montana. One of these days we'll see.

I said you kind of just shot yourself in the foot? We had a good laugh. It's just one of those things I can't get rid of yet. Maybe if I need $10M bail or something down the line I'll start selling stuff. I love collecting things though or trying to find the value in what other people think is junk. Estate sales have been a small little gold mine over the years. The kids want $ and they have no clue what some of the stuff is worth.

If he owned a card shop they pay about 80% of market value to make a small profit while taking the risk it doesnt tank. I was talking to the guys in Btown. They paid 10,000 for a Daniel Jones card, its worth 1,900 today. Which it could go back up if Jones has another ok year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 I wish I kept all the cards and comic books I had when I was a kid. I wasn't a Big Bang Theory level nerd but the card store I went to had all kinds of stuff. I had basketball, baseball, football, and Nascar cards and comic books. I even had the desert storm set and those old Bank One IU basketball cards. Maybe I was/am a nerd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched in an auction break the other night a 1 of 1 Messi card pulled from a pack they thought would sell for over a million.
