Collecting Tip Visit the Cheap Seats Sports Cards web site often!!!! - tip from www.cheapseatscards.com
Frequently Asked Question Should I be into trading cards as a hobby, an investment, or both? The trading card industry has all types. Some collect purely for the joy and hobby of it. They collect the entire set, their favorite players, or their favorite teams. Others speculate purely on the monetary value potential of cards and how to most effectively sell their cards. Others do a little bit of everything- they enjoy collecting and holding onto some of their cards while moving others that they don’t think they want, that they can make money off of, or that someone else would enjoy more. Choose your own path, but if you collect for the pure enjoyment of it, then you are less likely to be disappointed if the value of your favorite player goes down, because you chose to collect the player because you liked him/her in the first place and not how much his/her cards were worth.

Glossary Term Condition - Trading cards (even cards taken directly from factory sealed products) have a wide range of condition types depending on several factors like card being centered, crisp and sharp edges, no print spots, perfect gloss, and no surface flaws.
Conditions range from Poor (the lowest) to Pristine (the best). Several categories in between from Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent, Excellent-Mint, Near Mint, Near Mint-Mint, Mint, and Gem Mint complete the entire realm of possible conditions for a card.
