Card Collecting | KnockBack, Episode 268

Welcome back to KnockBack! This week, instead of focusing-in on a specific game, movie, TV show, or whatever, we thought we'd do another one of our reminiscing episodes instead. Thus, today, our focus is card collecting. At different stages of his childhood, Dagan collected Star Wars cards, Garbage Pail Kids, Wacky Packages, and even caught the Smurfs bug. Colin, meanwhile, went through three distinct card-collecting phases: Sports (baseball and hockey), IP (Marvel Universe and GI Joe), and outright gaming cards (Magic and Star Wars CCG). So join us as we recollect on the time-consuming, money-demanding, and strangely-addictive world of card collecting that we were both sucked into at one time, and which many of you out there are still very much involved with today.

. Highly relatable for me. Collected Baseball/Football cards in late 80s early 90s era. Even Collected some of the TMNT cards. I was constantly cataloging all my cards. Whether it was by team, value, year whatever. You would have thought I was a 10 year old accountant. I did the binders and plastic sleeves if Beckett valued them for more then a dollar. My Dad and I were at card shows, what seemed like every weekend. He also swore I'd retire off the value of the cards in the future (now). Surprise, they're not worth shit. Great documentary on Netflix about that specific time and date of collecting cards and how printed way too many and essentially saturated the market with supply. Anyways, great show 👍👍
