    Estate Planning & Card Collections - What to do?

    I was just admiring another of the Green Train of Happiness threads when the thought occurred to me as I'm in the midst of doing some estate planning - given how enormous I expect many of our personal collections are - what are my heirs going to do with all my cards? Few key concerns off the...

    UD SP Authentic Sign of The Times Decades (Multi-year) - Nearly Complete

    As I'm sure comes through, UD's SP Authentic line is - by far - my favorite line in sports cards. The assembly of this particular set has reflected the major transition in the way I collect; it started as mostly hits from my own breaks, to exclusively cards purchased in the secondary market. In...

    18-19 UD SP Authentic Limited Auto Set (Finally Complete!)

    After waiting four years or so, I was finally able to locate the last piece here - Dominik Hasek's limited auto was quite difficult to find for some reason. In any case, great to have this one done... Thanks for the look and to any & all of you who helped me put the set together. Winding...

    Where to from here - adapting our collecting approach

    I, like I expect many of you, was deeply into breaking my own wax with a fair (sometimes a lot) of breaks in addition. The pandemic completely changed that (at least for me) as wax prices exploded yet the underlying value per box remained, at least in my opinion, either flat year-on-year or...

    Fall Expo - Questions from First Time Attendee

    Hi all Planning to head to Fall Expo in Toronto this year and had a few questions on what to expect: 1. Payments. Should I have EMT ready to go before I attend? I'm assuming some vendors will not accept PayPal (and very few will accept Venmo) so having a CAD-based account would make a lot of...

    Good Times; Bad Times: Have we now had our share?

    With 20-21 SPA now finally being released in the next few weeks, I'm again wondering whether we're getting close to some form of major correction in wax...

    Defector.com: Those Extremely Wrong Topps World Series Cards Might Or Might Not Be The Future

    I don't know if many (or any) of you formerly read Deadspin.com or its reincarnation at Defector.com but they have a pretty fascinating look into what the future at Fanatics may look like. Worth the read.

    NYT: US CPI Rises at Fastest Pace since 1982 - up 6.8% in November

    The above is a graph from the front page Saturday NY Times article (NB: Paywall may be active) - with the following opener: So question becomes, how does this affect card prices. Was thinking there might be a fun (fun?) way to track this using e.g., a basket of marquee cards for which there...
