<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3697255, member: 15588&quot;]Wow, great video. I grew up in the great sports cards craze, so I personally remember the crowds, the noise and the excitement of a floor filled with people, three-ringed binders and lots and lots of cards. It was huge. Then, as the video states, it crashed because companies threw too much stuff into the market. In 1981, one major card company (Topps) became three (Topps, Fleer, Donruss) and collecting became more of a drag. Then more sets and variations were added, then more, and more, then brand new cards started selling for hundred of dollars. It was ridiculous. I bailed and sold out pretty early. I regretted it for a while, now I feel lucky. I did have a Wayne Gretzky rookie many years ago, which might be nice to have now, but otherwise... anyway, the footage of that card show was downright depressing. Ugh.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think coins are there yet, but they could be someday. They at least have inherent value, unlike cardboard trading cards. Who knows?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
