Reddit mentions: The best sports collectible trading cards

> But there's just no justifying the blatant exploitation of kids through psychological carrot and stick in my mind

I know people have only been reading about behavioral science as it applies to reinforcement for a few weeks since this loot box thing became big, but if you think these games are the first industry to take advantage of intermittent reinforcement, they're really not.

Remember these?

What about these, ever buy your kids one of those?

Ever promise your kid dessert so he'd eat his broccoli, and not tell him it's fruit salad?

Everyone uses this. The whole entertainment industry is built on the back of intermittent reinforcement. We use it to train out dogs. We use it to educate our kids. We use it to reward good work, in big companies (sell x of y product and win a trip, to be revealed soon!).

Casinos are just the most obvious, most direct way of doing it.

    Thank you for the contest

I was 6 or 7 and just learning about football. Family had relocated to the NY area not long before, and I didn't have any hometown loyalty.

Bought my first pack of football cards, and the first one on top was John Smith, K. I liked the colors, and the name.

For the first 20-some years, admitting to being a NE fan got me laughed at for being a chump. For the last 20-some years, admitting to being a NE fan gets me eye-rolled for being a bandwagoner. Still have my signed 1978 Steve Grogan card on my desk at work though!

Ouch. This feels like a low assessment.

MSRP for the latest season is $59.99 Even if you want to round down for easy math, 30 complete seasons at an even $50 a season would be a value of $1,500.

Seems like the complete '85 season can be gotten pretty close to that, unfortunately.

Well, guess I'll be holding on to these a few more decades... :/

I'll probably never buy this for myself because I'm not a big baseball fan or a collector, but it sure makes me giggle like a little girl! 1989 Bill Ripken Obscenity Card

Also, this thing that converts your sink into a water fountain.

Each box he opened has 1 pack in it.. the pack contains 3 cards and a chance of a redemption card. Redemptions are ones that you have to contact Topps (the manufacturer) and they will mail it to you. They tend to be higher in value.

"Each Prime Performers Autograph is also available in the following parallels.
Bronze Ink (serial-numbered to 25 copies)
Silver Ink (serial-numbered to ten)
Gold Ink (one-of-one) "

That being said, just because the redemption he pulled will only have 10 made.. it doesn't make it necessarily valuable. As a Cardinals fan.. it would be cool to pull a Molina redemption, but its definitely not one of the sought after ones.

The guy in the video gets a group of people together to purchase the box. Example would be a box that cost $500 would be split 25 ways. Each team would cost $20. How they decide to divvy up the cards is by buying a team.. any card with that team goes to the person who bought that team.

Here is an example of a more sought after silver ink auto from last years set:
https://www.amazon.com/Tier-One-Performers-Autographs-Autographed/dp/B07FZC25GP

The box (that had 3 cards and chance of a redemption) costs around $150.

He actually did play for the Cubs, but that was last season, lol.

Back when this ball was signed he would've been on the Giants. But that is definitely an early version of his signature (it changed later in his career). Here's a matching example: https://www.amazon.com/Nathan-autographed-Baseball-Francisco-Giants/dp/B01MSBYL4Y

Must've been a score. It looks exactly like this, but with Jagr. I need to see what the series is, because I have a whole bunch of people from that set. Are they worth anything?

Edit: Found it. Now if you'll excuse me gentlemen, I'm going to go sell this sacred treasure and blow all my profit on 2/3s of a McDouble.

I found this:

20 cards, 3 more than the pack on the team site. Would you say that's the best start I could expect?

Thank you!

Huh. Thanks for the learnin, professor. Happy cake day.

Was looking for some more info about Israel. Not much out there. Did find a trading card in case you want to flesh out a collection.

Will do!!!! I also found this on Amazon... For 22.99 seems like a good deal!

Looks like they're pretty inexpensive on eBay and Amazon:

I would LOVE a card from St. Louis.

[This card has both the words St. Louis and Cannons. I thought it was fitting.] (http://www.amazon.com/Minors-Featured-Preview-Pujols-Albert/dp/B00BYKAX52/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377538756&sr=8-1&keywords=St.+Louis+Cannon)

I was trying to figure out if the puck really says 14 after the sig, or if it says '4 for some reason, and it kinda looks like a y too. I was just trying to help figure out who #14 was that year. In the process I found out that amazon is selling his 93-94 hockey card for three bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Edgerton-Hockey-1993-94-Atlanta-Knights/dp/B00WB086OO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503426133&sr=8-1&keywords=devin+edgerton

I just grind the offline stuff and I'll be th4 guy that pulls packs cause it's fun lol, takes me back to being a kid. Only thing closer to being realistic is if I pulled a Todd Van Poppel every pack. Upper deck must have made millions of that dudes card.

https://www.amazon.com/Upper-Deck-Poppel-Oakland-Athletics/dp/B00BYK3SRC

you dont have 7 bucks brah?

also pretty sure sports cards collecting is kind of a thing of the past so good luck

Here's a sealed box of 36 packs for $90. So, not really valuable at all

That's still a pretty neat find. I wonder why there was a random unopened pack of cards there. I could never resist opening them.

I like yours better than the real one I found....
