If you’re a sports fan — or a sports card collector — October has to be the best time of the 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!

After a long lull in exciting sports card releases that lasted a couple months, October is about to catch fire!

We’re getting new cards for Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, WNBA, Baseball Prospects — it might be time to change the name of this month to Boxtober!
