I am thrilled to announce my 159th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk about Luka Fever and how he is part of a big sports card boom.

Did you collect baseball cards when you were a kid? It was one of my favorite things to do. The card shop was pretty close to where I lived and I would spend hours in there with my friends when we were in grade school and junior high. I still have tons of cards from that time period that are just sitting in my basement. But they have little to no actual value. They were mass produced by the companies like Topps, Upper Deck, and Donruss to name a few.

But the sports card industry is back and back in a BIG way after a couple decades of being ignored. Young stars like Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks are a big reason why the industry is booming. Luka rookie cards are selling for around $800 right now. And autographed ones are going for over a grand. These cards are not being mass produced like my Jose Canseco card was back in the 80’s.

The card industry is doing a great job of making rare cards, autographed cards, cards with game worn jerseys on them, etc. Luka Fever has caught fire in this industry similar to the Aaron Judge Fever that occurred last summer. The Judge rookie cards were going for nearly $2,000 at one point. My Canseco rookie can be found on Ebay for $19 lol.

I find it pretty fascinating and would like to hear if you collect?

Also, I will give a Lebron injury update and look at the Lakers upcoming schedule.

I would love to tell you all about it in my new Scorum Sports Cast. To check out my 159th show just click the play button below. I look forward to hearing your input and comments. Cheers!
