In the 90s, it was all about Jordan and Kobe. Nothing else mattered. Back in the day it was easy—Topps, Fleer, Upper Deck, Skybox, and NBA Hoops.
Remember flipping through the latest Beckett Magazine? Simpler times.
You ripped packs, organized your cards, traded with friends, and kept them in your special binder or shoebox. The sounds, the smells, the textures…the anticipation. Sports cards, my god, what a drug...
And it was never about the money, it was about the chase. The magic.
As a dad, it might seem like a never-ending cycle of morning tantrums, dinnertime standoffs, and chaotic bedtime "routines".
Everyone says it gets better, but does it?
Being a Dad is The Greatest Job in The World—But Somewhere Along The Way, The Rest of You Got LOST.
You love your kids, no doubt...
but when was the last time you did something that excites YOU?
You used to have something—gaming, hitting the gym, playing guitar, whatever.
Now? You parent. You scroll. You sleep. Rinse and repeat.
Always filling time with mind-numbing activities...
but never feeling filled by it.
Phones. Tablets. YouTube. Reels.
You’re together...but not really connecting.
The days are long but the years short. You blink, and they’re gone.
What if you had something real to bond over?
Millions of dads are feeling the same—and thousands are finding something unexpected in the hobby they once loved.
The sports card market is booming again—but it’s not just about flipping and profit.
Now the hobby is back, bigger and better than ever. Truth be told, it never left; you did. Life happened. Career. Mortgage. Kids. The whole nine yards.
Today’s hobby? It's louder, faster, and more complicated than ever. A dizzying maze full of paninis, parallels, blasters, slabs, gems, comps, and breaks. HUH? What language is this?
