Vintage by Sports
 

I do some selling on eBay (and at shows) and it seems that baseball vintage always outsells (quantity/amount of players) vintage hockey, basketball and football cards. Granted there are some guys that will always sell for their selective sports but it seems it takes a lot longer/less people buying vintage sports outside of baseball.


I have some theories on why with it mainly being set/team builders for baseball compared to other sports along with baseball being America's Past Time. Does anyone see it differently? What are your thoughts on vintage sales, whether it being buying or selling in general.

I personally like that people ignored vintage sports besides baseball. Makes everything cheaper for me with less competition!

Pre-war hockey can be extremely expensive, especially tobacco-era stuff.

Baseball has a bigger collector base, more sets, older sets, larger sets, history, etc...

Because it all started with baseball. It is literally the foundation of the hobby.
