Anyone collect modern relics,etc?

[t206blogcom]

When I was collecting Bryce Harper, I bought stacks of these patches and relics. I'm no longer collecting much of anything and have been selling off much of my collection. The relics still bring more $ than regular cards, even some graded cards, but I'm not getting anywhere close to what I paid.

In general I'm against cutting up jerseys or shaving bats just to make a card. I understand the concept behind it, but I think it's a shame to cut up game used materials. I have less heartburn about cutting up modern day players than I do seeing vintage HOF player's uniforms or bats being hacked up for a card; that in itself should be a crime.

I'm still on the fence... It seems these cards aren't losing any speed selling on eBay so I think that's what keeps me buying them. Not to mention my auto card collection is getting pretty large so I'm praying they don't decline too much

i collect only new stuff.
imo i would stay away from low end mass produced stuff. i think in the long run autos will always hold their value, and multi color low numbered patch cards as well.

I agree soxfan

I love modern autos, not a fan of relic cards at all. There's just so damn much of it and they make a ton of money on it creating a false sense of scarcity.

Autographs on the other hand--huge fan, always will be. There's just something 'sexy' about an autograph--even for non collectors. I tend to pair all of my vintage rookies with a nice looking certified autograph (Frank Robinson's Fleer GOTG Auto for only 15 bucks, doesn't get better!).

I don't like what Topps has been doing the last few years with a lot of their high end sets. Even the high end sets all share the same, tired Photoshop filtered look that just doesn't jive well with me.

That being said--I collect modern Chrome autos like crazy and love the Museum Collection Framed Autographs. Just great looking cards.

On those 2 auto relic cards, I did send you an email, while I realize a low offer, neither of those cards are really sellable at this point and thus I would be putting into dead inventory. But at the level I mentioned, I would be interested

Actually those cards are very "sellable".
