Dr. James Beckett: Sports Card Insights
Business:Investing
We delve into the realm of sports card alterations, distinguishing between deceptive modern alterations and childish alterations from the past, such as thumbtacks or tape on cards during the 1950s and 1960s. While altered cards are indeed worth less, they should not be considered worthless. In fact, in some cases, an altered card could possess more value than a lower-graded, unaltered counterpart. We oppose deceptive alterations aimed at increasing a card's value fraudulently but acknowledges that cards altered innocently in the past hold a certain charm and authenticity. He further explores specific types of alterations including the use of tape, glue, and other materials, and how these affect a card's grading and overall market value. We suggest the market is evolving to appreciate the unique history and authenticity of such cards, potentially leading to a reevaluation of their value in the collectors' market.
