It's more so you've missed the window.
The hotness is whichever athletes were popular when current 24-26 years olds were children. The group that is just getting their first taste of disposable income and starts chasing the things they missed as kids.
I'm about the same age and watched cards like Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter spike about a decade ago and come crashing back down. These days its Lebron James and Ichiro Suzuki.
- lizknope 3y agoI probably spent about $100 total on sports cards as a kid. I never bought an individual card, just a random pack of cards every once in a while. I had a friend with thousands of cards. His dad was a doctor and he would buy multiple boxes of Topps, Fleer, Upper Deck, and more. He would open one and categorize everything in 3 ring binders. Then he would have unopened complete sets. He also had a hundred or more individual cards in plastic cases. I know he had a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card. That one is probably still worth a lot. It was cool to look at and that kid is a successful lawyer now but I haven't seen him in 15 years. I wonder if he still has all those card. They took up multiple book shelves in the guest room they had.
