I remember it vividly. Sitting at my desk during recess with a couple of kids, shoe boxes piled high with singles from 1989 Pro Set and Upper Deck, trying to do the unthinkable – complete the base set. It was a tall order. Grabbing a couple packs home from practice, exasperated that yet again I couldn’t pull one of the few I needed. However at the same time, giddy with joy that I had pulled the one card that I knew a kid at school sought, and could flip for one or two of my missing links I knew he had.
Not only did I buy countless boxes of 2008 Razor Signature Series, I even threw down about $500 buying Razor Metal singles, which were available for purchase exclusively by the single on eBay.
I had high hopes for SportsBuy / Naxcom, I really did. When I first heard about them 3 years ago I was convinced that by now they would have eclipsed ebay as the marketplace of choice for buying and selling sports cards. Boy was I wrong.
I am really confused by this new phenomenon where collectors pay for sports card boxes and ask other people to break them for them on video. This just seems so stupid to me. Isn’t breaking the box the most fun part of the whole experience?
