Just A Little Patience

Trading Card Therapy ·

2021/12/17

Proud moment to share a collection that required an incredible amount of patience to acquire. It includes cards from the 1930s to the 1950s that have been stored and preserved untouched for over 70 years. The first card from the collection that we discuss is 33 G oudey Ruth #149 Red Background, that seems to have had a bite taken out of the corner. Because of this we will probably end up calling this collection the “Once Bitten” Collection. The reason I had to be so patient with this collection was

This week is all about my experience at The Philadelphia Sportscard & Memorabilia Show that took place this past weekend at the Valley Forge Casino Resort Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, as detailed in my first story of the show. The first was a collection of 1927 Exhibit cards, which included a Babe Ruth. This was a collection that I really wanted. The seller did mention that he was speaking with a different potential buyer who gave him some

Best Intentions

2021/11/26

Intention is the topic of the week! No matter what your position in the hobby is, collecting with intention will make for a more purposeful journey to reach your goals. My story of intention begins with Joe Namath, and how I recently acquired my FOURTH graded Namath rookie card. My fourth Namath rookie set off a trickle down effect for the other three Namath rookies that I own. By collecting and dealing with intention, I was able to position each of my four cards exactly where I wanted them. Our

Acquiring Ungraded

Trading Card Therapy ·

2021/11/19

On today’s episode, host Leighton Sheldon discusses how to buy and access ungraded card collections. There are quite a few challenges that you should be aware of if you are in the market, especially if you are acquiring vintage. Our story begins with a collection that Just Collect just took in and the process we used to acquire it. The most important starting point is identifying what cards are in the collection and setting an early expectation of value in the open market. This leads to a more

Adventures In Baseball Cards

2021/11/12

This week’s episode is all about my trip to the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Convention at the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, Massachusetts. Being a long car ride from my home state of NJ, I decided to make a stop at Dugout Dreams to see my friend Sean. His store was awesome and offered a significant selection for hobbyists no matter the budget. As my sights were turned to the show itself, my best advice to any show goer would be to get there early. You never know what deals you may miss,

Find Your Passion

Trading Card Therapy ·

2021/11/05

Today we are taking a look at some of the potential barriers to enter the Trading Card Hobby. It is very clear that it can be intimidating when you see cards selling for hundred, thousands, and even tens of thousands of dollars or more. My best bit of advice would be to find your passion and find your lane. This will help you manage your budget and have fun with the experience. Sometimes, sticking to your passions can pay great dividends, regardless of your budget. Start at the auction houses, as

This week's episode is all about an incredible Road Trip to Yonkers, New York to purchase an amazing collection! It included hundreds of cards from the 1930's including a massive stack of Goudeys! The collection included a ton of Hall of Famers the major highlights including a 1933 #144 Babe Ruth and two 1934 Lou Gehrigs! One of the best parts of being a Professional Baseball Card Treasure Hunter is learning the history behind the collections. This particular collection was steeped in history as the

For The Love Of Collecting

Trading Card Therapy ·

2021/10/22

This week's episode begins with an incredible piece of sports history! I discuss my experience in a REA Auction for a 1921 World Series Game 1 Ticket Stub, one of only 6 in the PSA Pop Report. Using some foresight and experience earned through some research of the ticket market, this seemed like an absolute no brainer. This stub is absolutely worthy of the museum at Yankee Stadium. To sweeten the haul, I also picked up an original photo from the 1921 World Series, which will make for an amazing

Our first topic this week is eBay Comps and the best way to add them to your buying and selling strategy! From the importance of understanding the differences in platforms like eBay, auctions, and social media, comps can end up hurting you if not used properly! Next up we talk about how we are seeing the Sports Card and Pokémon worlds colliding. With the Pokémon space moving more to grading and long term investing, I am confident we will see our more and more crossover between communitites very

No Shame In Selling

Trading Card Therapy ·

2021/10/08

With buying cards being so easy, why is selling them so difficult? Our lead topic this week is how selling our cards can sometimes bring along feelings of shame. I dig into how a strategy of selling when you want to vs selling when you need to is almost guaranteed to yield a more positive result. If we allow the selling process to be dictated by the need to cover things like an upcoming auction bill, we may be backing ourselves into a corner. The conversation shifts to resources in the community to

Welcome to Trading Card Therapy Episode 7! Coming off the heels of The Philly Show, there is plenty to discuss on this week's episode. While we will get around to a show report in the second half of the show, we begin with a very special card that I picked up from the show floor. I picked up a 1921 Exhibits Babe Ruth SGC Authenticated. While I was walking the floor on Saturday, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this 21 Exhibits Ruth tagged and ready for sale. It didn't take long for me to

Manufactured Scarcity

Trading Card Therapy ·

2021/09/17

We have some spicy topics for you this week on Trading Card Therapy! Our main topic of the day revisits manufactured scarcity. There are a few different areas of thought on this topic that are worth digging in to. The first is how the printing machine that makes the cards has such incredible power over the market. Is it the small stamped numbers on a card that give it value? Is it the limited ownership pool of a specific card? Whatever it may be, it is worth taking a step back when considering what

Thinning The Hoard

Welcome to Trading Card Therapy Episode 4! Host Leighton Sheldon discusses how Thinning The Hoard can not only be cost effective, but can also help you manage you collection and collecting habits. There can be many reasons to need to thin things out, but no matter how you spin it, managing your collection will bring you closer to your cards and the reasons for keeping them. Another topic that comes up is the online sentiment of the Grading Industry "Printing Money", and how that impacts the market

Collect What You Love

2021/09/03

Leighton explains his perspective on the topic beginning with the initial approach to understanding that market itself. If you wanted to start collecting art, you wouldn’t go after a Rembrandt for your first piece, you would look to what is available and affordable. That being said, the discussion turns to sincere vs manufactured scarcity, which proves to be an interesting perspective on approaching the market. In the end, collect what you love!
