The January 1997 issue of Sports Card Trader...so much to unpack from the cover: Topps’ resurgence, Iverson’s rookie year, 1996 Football Starting Lineups, and a T206 Wagner. All the hobby feels. #cardsky

No PSA 10s. Just 65 PSA 9s. The 1969 Topps Deckle Edge set might be the most condition-sensitive issue in the hobby.

Honestly, if I had to pick just one set to spend the rest of my hobby life on, writing about it, researching it, collecting it, just staring at it, it’d be 1952 Topps. Nothing else comes close.

This Wacky Packages Stickers sell sheet just popped up for sale on eBay for $39. The seller dated it to 1980, but given the 483 product code, I think it might be for the first re-run set from 1979 (I'm no expert on this series, though). #cardsky
