Finally someone who breaks it down into simple terms, with accompanying visuals that are easy to interpret . Thanks bubba!

[kimioapps]

Thanks for putting this out...I collected in the late 80s and early 90s and am now dreading getting back into the hobby...its no longer about buying ENOUGH packs to get the cards you wanted but rather navigating the manufactured rarity...they are purposefully obfuscating the prints to essentially turn this into gambling.

Great video. I've been looking for something like this that explains the difference between cards, top to bottom. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I was a collector as a kid in the 70, 80s.and early 90s. I just decided to get back in for profit. I was so so lost. I couldn’t believe how much the game is changed. I almost felt stupid. So this was extremely helpful to and old guy. Lol.

The information covered in this video is harder to find than you would think.. This was awesome! Thank you!

[deavonrichards]

Great video! Thank you for giving me some useful information. Just started getting into the card hobby over the past month or so. Easy to spend a lot of money if you aren't careful lol

[winstonkostrzewa]

Needed this bad. Sincerely, thank you.

[pinathepanda]

Thank you for this! Just inherited 1000’s of cards and this will really help me organize them by sets and also separate them accordingly!

[bryantjohnson]

Thank you so much for even going over the little stuff. When I'm trying to get into something like this, this is the type of info and detail I'm looking for so good shit

[Boonedocks]

Great video. Question? Would the cards you pulled from the $400 hobby box get your money back on them?

[caseyclassified]

Thanks a ton for going in depth explanations!! Best video I've seen yet

[louiem]

Good video. This helped me out since I'm a newbie getting started. The ones in the small stack do you sleeve them ? Now with the base cards what do you do with them? Do you place them in boxes and do you sleeve the cards as well? Plus how do you keep inventory on them or keep track of what you have. HOpefully it's not to much to ask.

have a bless day.

[chrisbaber]

Excellent video, thank you. Really informative and easy to understand.

[soccrkid]

I have Baseball and Pokemon cards, and it is very fun to trade for cards I do not have for cards someone else does not have. 😀

[Bobcatz]

Do they only do rookie cards once per that players rookie season or can they reprint the rookie card even though the player has been in the league for years?
