Seeking advice from card hobbyists

Today Upper Deck released the first-ever AEW trading cards. I have been looking forward to getting a set for over a year now, but the price for a hobby box is outrageous - $279!

If any of you are hobbyists, I am asking for your help with two questions:

1. If I wait for a month or two, would the prices come down considerably?

2. Do you think a basic base set will become available? (I would love autographed cards and other special cards, but my main goal is to get an entire set of regular cards.)

Thank you in advance!

 

has anyone here noticed a shift in value or popularity with vintage wrestling cards lately? I’ve been picking up some older sets and I’m curious if others are seeing more interest in those. Also, how are you all storing your cards—binders, sleeves, graded cases? Looking for ideas to keep them safe without spending loads.

 

I collect hockey trading cards and ran into the same thing with fluctuating values. I use Card Dealer Pro to manage my inventory and list faster—it helps cut the time on checking comps and uploading. It's way more efficient than doing it by hand, especially if you’ve got a lot to go through. Cards with low comps I usually lot together or just move quick at shows.
