Junk wax era was the card industry between ~1987-1993 when the manufacturers printed like maniacs.
You've got to love the end of the hobby's junk-wax era: a "very" limited edition subset of ONLY 150k sets!
You can pick up a set on eBay for less than $10.

Getting zapped 21 sats is more exciting to me now than selling a sports card for $1k.

I ain’t there…yet…also I don’t know that much of the sports card community is into freedom tech.
Perhaps we’ve already won.
This morning's sports card research before the 5 to 9 (mile run) before the 9 to 5 (job): 1914 Boston Garter color cards!
A complete set of 12, which would be nearly impossible to piece together today, would cost over $1M. SGC has graded 43 examples, while PSA has only graded two.
Richard Wolffers Auctions, Inc. offered this pair (plus an Ed Konetchy) in their June 1993 auction.

GM!
I have no idea how a #Nostr man cave would be decorated, but an Exhibit Supply Co. football card machine-front ad display would suit a hobby man cave really well!
I wrote a few words about this one on the blog: https://www.postwarcards.com/1948-1952-exhibit-supply-co-football-card-machine-front-advertising-display/

This is hilarious, "The All-Not As Famous As The Other Guy With My Name Team"
Gary Oyer from Hesston, KS, was pretty clever (this was published in Sports Cards Magazine in September 1993).

But I can’t hold it!
Because of #nostr, clients like nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg (among others), and this community of forward leaning maniacs, I feel a renewed sense of motivation to contribute more to the hobby (vintage sports cards) than ever before!
