I find this stuff kinda annoying

I'm fairly new to all this. But I see they have rookie reprints for like 99, Jordan,.
I kind of hate the card manufac for doing this.

Also now I see these digital cards? And some of them are selling, just
like the reprints. I think maybe people are getting taken.
Who would want a digital card? Y'all collecting digital now?

@newhobby12 The Reprints can be a real issue. You have to be careful as fakes/reprints aren't that far apart.

Also, I am not in the digital space, but it is huge for cards now. NBA had Top Shots, MLB just signed an exclusive deal. And the Topps NFT's sold out immediately. A Mike Trout NFT even sold for over $87k

The reprints aren't bad when the card companies actually do them and they didn't really overuse it. Now eBay is flooded with counterfeits made by people who are passing them off as reprints (they aren't) and now companies like Topps use the 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout image in EVERYTHING. When it was used very sparingly and was a big deal when it happened that was okay (like specific themed insert sets) but now I'm pretty sure every card, year, and image has been done to death by Topps in baseball. There is no "man I wish they made X card" again type thing with them.

Also it already seems like NFT stuff is cooling off but I really don't know that market well
