It's unfortunate (Reply to this comment)
by pmills1210
You're right that most cards from the late eighties to the present will probably never appreciate in value. Topps was bad at overproduction, but Pro Set was the king of overproduction. Also, the card companies just don't get that they're putting too much product out there. It was fun in the early nineties when companies competed and added lines, but they kept expanding their lines and losing collectors. I'm still around because I like sports, and many card lines are reasonably priced. When you look in card stores and online auctions, you will find an inordinate amount of unopened product. That will be the legacy of the card hobby of this era of collecting. Thanks for sharing!
Sincerely, Pat

755 is referring to the number of homeruns Hank Aaron had.
Yea, I know. I guess my sarcasm didn't come through as clearly as I would have liked.

755? Are you talking about the number of 87 Topps Bonds' cards I actually own?
Well, not that many, but the 87 Topps set was clearly overproduced. I personally consider 87 the first step to the destruction of the baseball card industry, with the second step being around 92 when the "ultra premium" and "chase card" phenomenon was born.
Sure, the hobby has continued, but not with the same shine.
Stepping off soapbox now

Will he tie, or maybe break Aaron's record?
Thanks for the review - I didn't realize there were sports cards in the database.
