Golden greetings and silver salutations. I loved collecting baseball cards. Every cent I had when I was a kid went to cards, mostly baseball (though I collected football, basketball, and hockey as well). Then something happened. The cards became MASSIVELY overproduced. Then the number of cards sets grew, the prices went up, # of cards per pack went down, inserts became more important then the cards. Then a very sad thing happened. The card market died.
Recently a silly E-Bay listing made an absolutely common card valuable. Let's just take it in:
As far as I can tell, there is nothing rare about this card. Now there are a ridiculous amount of these cards for sale. Frankly, I do not even know if this is the original listing, but this same seller has a 2nd one listed at the same price. Though one listing has "free shipping", what a bargain!
The sad part of this story is that PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEM!!! Not at this outrageous price, but LOTS of them have gone for $20 + all the way up to a $100. THIS CARD IS WORTH A NICKEL!!!
I don't get it, please explain this to me!!! Until next time, keep stacking and supporting #SteemSilverGold, #SteemUSA, and #TheAlliance!
