🔥 OLD SCHOOL UPPER DECK GAME USED vs. MODERN TOPPS RELICS! ⚾🏀🏈

💥 Are all memorabilia cards created equal? NOT EVEN CLOSE!

🎥 At the Card Show Con at the Cow Palace, Craig of Craig Buys Cards explains why he prefers the early Upper Deck Game Used cards from the late ’90s and early 2000s!

🧐 WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

🏆 EARLY UPPER DECK GAME USED
✅ Original inserts featured actual game-used memorabilia!
✅ Some were incredibly rare and tough to pull!
✅ In 1999, Upper Deck even cut up a Babe Ruth game-used bat to create cards! 🤯⚾

🆚 MODERN TOPPS RELICS
🔹 Can contain game-used, player-worn, or event-worn memorabilia.
🔹 Not all relics were actually used in a game!
🔹 Many standard relics are more common.

💰 CRAIG'S PICK? OLD SCHOOL UPPER DECK!

🔥 WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?

🅰️ Team Upper Deck 🏆
