Hopefully this one is better organised. Went there on a trip to Melbourne last year and basically walked in and walked out... cardboard boxes everywhere and the few prices we saw were quite overpriced IMO... just thought, geez, have some pride in your shop.... Maybe we are just spoiled having Sports Card World where its always welcoming and presentable

That's a shame really, even my son said he didn't want to go back next time... We will just stick to online and SCW
I am a little surprised and disappointed by resale on BPPs and BVGs so far
BPPs I understand a little if there is still some risk of season not being completed & impacts the Brownlow. Though again probability AFL do this is low (unless outbreak of virus, as too much $ at stake). This maybe highlights way forward would be 2006 concept of Brownlow predictors and just one wildcard in total.
BVGs on the other hand are a very nice looking card, and best players from each team. At 1 in 2 boxes you’d want to even see some of the not so popular teams for collectors still fetch $50-60. Though maybe the success of the green parallels is what’s impacting these at the moment. I reckon BVG will be a nice set to complete (and probably difficult to find moving forward)
It’s the same with every series though, the gulf between the popular teams and the others is massive, it just shows that there are a lot of team collectors out there but not many set collectors
Re the Brownlow I think this is the worst part of the series, every second card being wild has no interest for me, this should’ve just been the 35 best chances + 1 wild, no one wants to have a shadow on a card
I think people are underestimating the impact of Covid on some of these secondary market prices. Sure, the big cards from big teams will get top dollar as once they're gone, they're gone but I feel many are staying away from the stuff there is an abundance on to maybe pick up down the track.
OK cool, I may be wrong then, I just see a lot of stuff passed on, on facebook at prices I thought they'd be snapped up for sure. I also know a couple of bigger team collectors who have been hurt by Covid, but no doubt there is definitely new interest in the hobby
Absolutely, I should have balance what I said with the prices at the top end have well surpassed my expectations.
Do people realise though it's Jake Stringer on the card though???
