In the world of baseball card collecting, the thrill of receiving a package can be akin to the excitement of a walk-off home run. Recently, a collector shared their experience of navigating the complexities of mail delivery during a postal strike in Canada, which got me thinking about the broader implications of collecting in today's world.
How do you feel about the current state of card collecting? With the rise of online shopping and the unpredictability of postal services, do you think the joy of receiving physical cards is diminishing? Or does the thrill of the hunt still hold strong for you?
Moreover, the collector mentioned their preference for vintage cards over modern ones, particularly in football. This raises an interesting debate: Are modern cards losing their charm due to the prevalence of college uniforms and retired players being mixed in? What do you think? Are you more inclined to collect vintage cards, or do you find value in the modern sets?
And let's talk about expired redemption cards. Some collectors actively seek them out, while others see them as a waste of space. What’s your take? Do you have any interesting stories about redemption cards that turned out to be a pleasant surprise or a complete letdown?
Lastly, with the ongoing changes in the hobby, including the quality of card designs and collation issues, do you think it's time for brands like Topps to take a step back and reassess their approach? What bold predictions do you have for the future of baseball cards?
