Was anything more Pandemic-hobby than 2019-20 NBA Hoops Premium?

Charismatic44th · 07-12-2023, 12:03 PM

When I think back of the hobby during the Pandemic, 2019-20 Hoops Premium always comes to mind first. What comes to your mind?

It's baseball but Topps Project 2020 will always remind me of the pandemic

I'll never forget selling base cards for hundreds of dollars....

selling 2nd year luka prizm base for $50 was fun

Zion prim draft might have been pre-pandemic but that was the start of the PUMP

2019-20 Hoops Premium is the perfect example of how the hobby has switched from 98% collector to 98% seller. If you just looked at the cards to collect which would you rather have? 2019-20 Hoops or Hoops Premium? Everyone's answer is going to be Hoops Premium. Which one sells for more? Hoops.

Mentioned already above:

Topps Project 2020 (will forever be #1 for me)
Lebron 1st Year Lakers Rookies

...+ F1 (the hobby falling over themselves re: the cards and being big "fans" of the sport)

Topps Project 2020, Griffey Shore was the kiss of death. I have 10 of those in my basement and each time I see them I gag. They remind me of crappy the first year of Covid was along with the jump off point for the Hobby.

Was the Mark Jackson Menendez Bros card during the pandemic? If so...that one

Brobocop · 07-12-2023, 02:56 PM

I think what I'll remember about the pandemic hype is NBA Top Shot. Stuff went from the moon to sinking to the bottom of the ocean with what feels like zero chance to ever recover.

Yep, that was definitely the top.

That was in December of 2018. I remember going to the local card shop, buying and ripping boxes of Hoops just to get more of those to list on eBay because they were selling so fast.

This is the correct answer.

It summarizes everything about the pandemic pump perfectly.

Sure, but the 18-19 Optic Holos and even base were incredibly pumped and hyped. Im not sure how much hype the Revolution got.

msucollector4 · 07-12-2023, 04:28 PM

What will always remind me of that era is every single base being graded. If the guy had a semi decent name it was off to PSA
