Part 1 - 2010 Topps Opening Day Baseball Cards Box Break

Well, Beckett has listings for Opening Day Attax cards, but they don't match the players on the cards that I got on this video, so I am not sure what the deal is with those 2 Attax card types. These cards are not numbered and there is nothing that says Holofoil or Rainbow Holofoil. Eventually, they will get something in there for them. The 2 types of Attax cards that you saw me get here may be only found in the Blaster Boxes. That would explain the delay in the price guide. I might put the Holofoil cards on Ebay to see how they do.

speaking of the boom but in years to come do you think the cards from that era will be worth anything?

[krisbenham]

@spongebobskywalker -- Maybe in 50 years, but not before then. There are simply too many of them out there to be of any significant value. I can still get wax boxes for $6.

Are baseball cards even worth anything anymore?

I have a box of Topps cards from 1990 and it isn't worth shit.

[krisbenham]

@DiverseLA -- Cards from that era are not worth much because almost everyone has some of them. Because no one needs them, so there is no active market for them, therefore prices don't change. I call that era it the Baseball Card Boom. The cards from today are not worth much more, but the market is very active with them, which changes the values daily. That, combined with the ridiculous amount of inserts and low print runs of certain cards, certainly makes the hobby more interesting.

@krisbenham Thanks for the info, man. Yeah I heard a lot of cards from the 90's aren't worth much because they were mass-produced too much. And everyone was trying to capitalize and get rich. I was only a little kid in 1990 but my uncle bought a bunch and gave me a box convincing me they'd be worth something.

Do you have any idea around what year the baseball card boom started? Mid 80's? Late 80's?

[krisbenham]

@DiverseLA -- I would say around 1986, based on the large amount of inexpensive Bonds XRC from the 1986 Topps Traded set. 1985 Topps seems to be much harder to get a hold of at low prices. I would say that the boom peaked in 1991, and started declining from there, but that is completely my opinion. For 1992 Topps, the cards stock was changed to white, and gold foil cards were introduced for Topps, which I believe led to the increase in retail card prices, and decline of the interest in cards.

@krisbenham Thanks

@Timmy519 -- There are 220 cards in the 2010 Topps Opening Day base set, Timmy. I believe the only number in this set that is the same as the regular set is card #1, Prince Fielder.
