Back in the 90's sports card stores were everywhere, but they're like finding a unicorn these days as far as I can tell
Seems like the best bet these days is to buy unopened boxes online, but even that scares me a little bit... theres so much money in it right now that I wouldn't put ANYTHING past people
As in going through the packs for the top cards, then resealing the box and individual packs
I love the hobby and will always buy cards, but not like in the 90's... too many of my best cards (cards supposedly worth $100 or better) from that era eventually tanked HARD and arent worth anything more than $5-20 these days

Yeah my Walmarts and Targets don't have shit for sports cards. Only bullshit like Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon type of stuff. The only sports cards I see are these giant packs of "random assortments" of what I'm sure is crapola.
In the 90s I collected mainly basketball cards. I have a metric ton of Shaq and Penny rookies and cards from that era. A few Jordans that aren't worth much. But my all time favorites were the Fleer Ultra X-Men cards. I wasn't even really into comics but I got to collecting those and they're just beautiful cards. I still have nearly the whole set.
