[POD] 7 Lessons Learned From Collecting Cards in 2024! - Ep. 2.02

Patrick Imhoff shares how he's changing his collecting goals for 2025 based on how things went for him last year!

Each Happy Hobby Sports Card Newsletter For Collectors has a handful of great sports card subjects, helping sports card collectors working with limited budgets!

Happy Hobbyist Patrick Imhoff takes the wheel for this week’s newsletter, sharing all the smart decisions he’s planning to make with his sports card collection in 2025 based on what happened in 2024.

Specifically, Patrick shares his takes on collecting prospect cards and when to buy rookie cards. He also shares his opinions on “breaking,” as well as buying great single cards over hobby boxes.

My favorite lesson that he shared was about how he targets cards on eBay using both Auctions and Buy It Now cards that have Best Offers. It’s a brilliant strategy!

Patrick thinks hockey is pucktastic! (My word, not his.) He shared a pretty awesome baseball/hockey card trivia question from the junk wax era that blew my mind!

Finally, Patrick also loves his Pittsburgh Penguins, and this week’s “Cards That Make Us Happy,” really makes Patrick happy because it’s Super Mario’s rookie card!

Happy Hobby Sports Cards Newsletter For Collectors!
"Happy Hobby Sports Cards" Podcast!
Happy Hobby! We talk about sports card collecting hoping to help collectors working with a limited budget. With a positive, family friendly mindset, we discuss hobby news and recent releases, while also looking back and talking about vintage cards and players from decades past. It's like opening a pack of cards with 11 with different sports card subjects!
This podcast is essentially the read-out-loud version of the "Happy Hobby Newsletter," published every other Thursday on Substack.
I’m David Gonos, former Fantasy Sports columnist at CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated and The Athletic. In 2021, I was inducted into the Fantasy Sports Writers Hall of Fame. (No, really, that exists!) I’m also a sports card collector working with a limited budget, so I create content based around just that!
I got my YouTube channel going in 2021, and I’ve been posting two or three videos up each week ever since. It’s a fun, free, festive spot to talk about cards, collecting and … cards. I don’t take myself too seriously, so I beg that you don’t take me seriously either.
We also do a ton of giveaways to subscribers!
