As a passionate collector, I find myself constantly chasing the elusive cards from the 1980s, particularly those featuring my beloved Dodgers. It's fascinating how the perception of accessibility in the hobby can shift over time. I once thought I was just a few cards away from completing my collection, but the reality is far more complex.
This brings me to a thought-provoking question: How do you define completeness in your collection? Is it about having every card from a specific set, or is it more about the journey and the stories behind each card?
Moreover, the concept of artificial scarcity in the hobby is something that intrigues me. With the rise of digital cards and the ever-changing landscape of collecting, do you think we are moving towards a future where scarcity is a thing of the past? Or will the thrill of the hunt always keep collectors engaged?
I also want to hear your bold predictions: What do you think will be the next big trend in card collecting? Will we see a resurgence of interest in older sets, or will modern cards continue to dominate the market?
Lastly, for those who have ventured into the world of obscure sets like the TCMA or the FBI discs, what has been your experience? Are there hidden gems that you believe deserve more recognition?
Let’s dive into this discussion and share our insights, experiences, and perhaps even some of our most cherished finds!
