I think we see a continued softening on most thing besides uber high end. I keep seeing the average person complaining about the general economy which makes me believe they have less to spend on leisure.

Hope: 2025 will see a sharp decline in the number of scandals, thefts, altered cards, and general shadiness within the hobby.

Prediction: 2025 will see an uptick in the number of scandals, etc.

Hope: In 2025, I'll finally complete my 1956 Topps Baseball set.

Prediction: In 2025, something else will catch my eye and I'll get sidetracked again.

Hope: In 2025, card shows will be filled with friendly, polite collectors who show respect for their fellow hobbyists.

Prediction: At every card show I attend in 2025, I'll encounter lots of people with plenty of ego and very little in the way of manners.

Hope: The hobby will be just fine in 2025.

Prediction: The hobby will be just fine in 2025.

I think we will see some large lifetime collections hitting the market throughout 2025 but am unsure of the ripple effects. I hope for a momentary drop in prices as the flood gates open so I can buy and wait for myself to age out and sell.

People who break cards out of slabs and/or have given up meat will remind of you of that repeatedly in 2025.

Makes sense.

If I'm going to handle my cards while eating a burger, the cards should be slabbed. If they're raw, I want to keep the grease off them.

Hoping the Pirates get a new owner.

Also, hoping for a new MLB commissioner. The putting of a man on second every half inning after the ninth is beyond idiotic. Also, the new pinch hitter idea is equally moronic

Funny, when I was a vegetarian it was always the non-vegetarians that wanted to talk about it. Live and let live (for humans, anyway)

I'd call this a certainty rather than a prediction.

Most vintage HOFer rookies bottomed-out in 2023 and remained flat last year. I don't expect them to suddenly start dropping some more this year. They will either continue to remain flat or slowly start going up.
