Collectors were back in Fishers, Indiana on Friday and Saturday for the J&J All-Stars Midwest Monster Sportscards Show. This was the 2nd go, for the Monster, as the last show was held over the summer, and there is talk already for a Midwest Monster 3, to be held sometime next year. Thanks to all the collectors, dealers, and friends that we got to hang out with this weekend…. Till the next one #MidwestMonster3
For all the collectors out there, now thinking dam we should have went!!!! Below are links to some of the fun that were missing out on…. Enjoy, and let the countdown to NSCC2023 begin!!!
Overall, I would stay away from this product. The packs are nothing but junk, and not worth the $29.99. The Mantle card did add some value to this box, but Im not sure that every box has a Mantle in it.
We’ll start with the Good, and that goes to Dave & Adam’s Card World for the launch of their new series called “Cards Matter” According to D&A, “This initiative was created to bring positivity to hobby members dealing with adversity in some way, and to show the support that surrounds them in this great community.” Check out the first episode below which tells Jimmy Freiberg Jr story.
THE BAD
The Bad goes to the awesome dealer, that was set up last week at a local show. He had a case of cards and some singles, along with a few boxes that had signs on them that said, “All cards $2, unless marked” I spent some time going through the boxes, not much I was looking for and grabbed 2 cards that were not marked. So according to his sign, thats $4. So I show him the cards I was buying and he goes $5. So I look at the toploaders back and front just to make sure I didnt miss something and I looked at his sign again. He points to one of the cards and goes, “Thats one $3” Now mind you before the hate mail, the $1 didnt mean a thing to me, but the point of the sign does. You wanna change prices on your cards, its your table go right ahead, but dont put signs up advertising one price and then changing them when a collector goes to buy, thats complete horse shit.
THE UGLY
The value box is not for everyone, some collectors like to spend hours searching boxes looking for deals, sometimes you find some and sometimes you dont. So I’m at this guys table, and he has two four boxes set up of $1 cards and some decent stuff in it for the asking price of a $1. So I’m half way through one of the boxes and this collector, (we’ll call him that) come over looks through about half of a row in the box, calls the dealer over and goes, “I think I’m wasting my time here, did you plant any big prize cards in your boxes?” For what he had in there, alot of it was pretty good deals for $1, but I guess everybody is looking for the Big Score handed to them…
As great as this hobby is, there is a handful of just bad “collectors” “Dealers” and downright “crooks” Check out the latest video of The Hype from Mojobreak Media, as they talk about Card Scams to avoid in 2022. Dan, Doug, and C-Rad does a great job this week talking about things from fake autographs to shady retail.
