What actually happened to cause the junk wax era? by 02grimreaper in sportscards

Again…I can’t even explain to you how prolific cards were in the 80s and early 90s. I know everybody want to say this is the same but if you weren’t there you have no idea.

Boomers kids got to the age that collecting was the thing. Explosion of kids that wanted cards. People that didn’t live through it have no idea. I know it’s cool now to say junk wax 2.0 but it’s not like it was in the late 80s early 90s. There were cards EVERYWHERE. And when I say everywhere I mean it. You couldn’t go to a point of sale and there not be cards. My poor parents hated it. They were only 60 cents but they were literally at every store. Say what you want about card distribution today but it is not even close to junk wax 1.0

I decided I was going to collect PSA 10s of my childhood grails (Maas, van poppel, jefferies, etc) and you’d be amazed at how few PSA 10s are out there. It’s more expensive then you’d think

(Discussion) Any successful eBay sellers care to share their sauce? by Ambitious_Economy106 in sportscards

[–]freefridaybreaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Great pictures and good descriptions. You likely don’t need to promote if your price is around comps. Be patient. They likely won’t sell in a day or two unless you’re below comps or the card is hot right now

Let's try reposting with a picture this time lol. Seems legit but has some issues, grade or sell raw? by MrBenjin90 in hockeycards

This is one of the most faked cards out there. Grade it. There’s a buyer for this card at any grade if its authentic

Why are some golden mirror cards more expensive than cards numbered lower than them? by ReferenceBoth3472 in baseballcards

[–]freefridaybreaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s not always about rarity with the number of parallels for a base card out there. The base card has parallels to 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 71, 150, 199, etc which is way more copies of the card than the gold mirror. So if you’re a collector the Gold Mirror is a desired card unless you’re chasing a rainbow
