4 Smarter Steps For Collecting Cards!
Mr. Collect shares some of his favorite tips for collecting cards to help sports card collectors get more bang for their collecting buck!
Many of the baseball card collectors on our YouTube channel and in our newsletter chat are among the group I call, “The Renewed Collectors.” We were all former card collectors when we were kids in the ‘70, ‘80s and ‘90s, then we stopped for a decade or two, and now we’re picking it back up because it brings us back fond memories!
Scott Hedrick, one of our favorite Happy Hobbyists, loves to buy old wax packs and boxes off of sites like BBCExchange.com and DACardWorld.com.
For collectors looking to dip their toes into the wax pack pool, Scott shared six great tips on buying wax packs and boxes that should improve your chances on getting good cards without spending too much money.
We also share another awesome sports card trivia question, in which you could win a free baseball card, and Patrick Imhoff gives us another suggestion we hope Fanatics will listen to in 2026.
Finally, I look back almost 70 years at one of the coolest rookie cards in history, from 1948 Leaf, with our “Cards That Make Us Happy,” section.
