Each “Happy Hobby Sports Card Newsletter” pack has a handful of great sports card subjects, helping sports card collectors working with limited budgets – like me!

The links in this newsletter are affiliate links with eBay, which means we will make a commission on any purchases off those links. So, thank you! Also, all sports card images come courtesy of BuySportsCards.com.

This is the FREE version of the “Happy Hobby Sports Cards” Newsletter, with the PAID version coming again next week.

⚾LESSONS LEARNED AT THE NATIONAL SPORTS CARD CONVENTION

Josh Scarberry of MJ Family Time Cards took his family, including his card-collecting son Micah, to The National Sports Card Convention in Cleveland a couple weeks ago.

First, he shared how he prepared to go to the convention, and in this podcast, he’s sharing all the new things he learned, which he hopes will help him – and others – for the next time he goes!

He talked about the freebies and all the cool corporate stuff that was handed out, including some random free stuff given to his family by other card collectors!

Josh also discussed some of the cards he picked up, as well as some of Micah’s best pickups.

Finally, he shared some tips and suggestions that should help others who might be thinking of going in 2025.

We also discuss the 10 most-graded cards according to GemRate.com during the month of July!

There are five basketball cards atop the list, with just a couple baseball and a couple football cards. Can you think of who they might be?

We move on to list the best rookie cards of all four sports from the year 1997! Of the 12 great rookies we listed, nine of them are in their respective sports’ Halls of Fame!

Finally, we look over all the things happening across the Happy Hoppy Sports Card world, including our current giveaways (like a graded card carrying case from OnlyGreats.com), our most popular videos, articles, and podcasts from the month of July!
