Thank You, Collectors: Reflecting on 2025 at Major Sports Cards

As 2025 wraps up, we want to take a moment to thank every collector who walked through our doors, visited us online, or reached out with a question, a card to grade, or a story to share. You’ve helped make this year one of our most exciting yet.

From blockbuster rookie releases to once-in-a-lifetime Pokémon pulls, the passion we’ve seen across the hobby has been incredible. Whether you're a longtime sports card investor or just starting your first Pokémon binder, we’re honored to be a part of your journey.

Pokémon Continued to Lead the Way

Pokémon was a major force in 2025—and one of the most important parts of our business this year.

• We saw unprecedented demand for both vintage and modern Pokémon cards, with collectors chasing everything from original Base Set Charizards to the latest Special Illustration Rares from Scarlet & Violet.
  
  

• Graded Pokémon cards saw strong interest, with many customers submitting to PSA through our shop to preserve and protect high-value cards.
  
  

• Sealed product releases like 151, Obsidian Flames, and Paradox Rift flew off the shelves, often selling out within hours.
  
  

What stood out most was how the Pokémon community continues to expand—bringing in collectors of all ages, from nostalgic adults to excited kids opening their first packs. We’re proud to be your local source for the cards, knowledge, and support that keep the hobby fun and rewarding.

Highlights From the Year

While Pokémon was huge, 2025 also brought growth across every category:

• We expanded PSA grading support and helped dozens of customers preserve their cards with confidence.
  
  

• Women’s sports cards became one of the most exciting segments of the market, with athletes like Caitlin Clark creating real momentum.
  
  

• We witnessed some of the biggest pulls of the year right here in the store—ultra-rares, low-numbered autos, and chase cards that made our team just as excited as our customers.

• We welcomed more new collectors than ever before, from parents introducing the hobby to their kids to longtime fans diving deeper into sports and TCG.

What’s Coming in 2026

Next year promises big things, including:

• Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary, which is expected to bring high-impact sets, reprints, and premium collector products
  
  

• Fanatics-era sports cards starting to roll out across MLB, NBA, and NFL
  
  

• Continued growth in graded card demand, especially for TCG and women’s sports
  
  

• More support, services, and inventory here at Major Sports Cards—both online and in-store
  
  

If you're planning ahead, this is the perfect time to organize your collection, make grading decisions, and lock in key pieces before markets shift in the new year.

Thank You for a Memorable 2025

We say it every year, but we truly mean it: thank you for supporting Major Sports Cards. Whether you bought your first Pokémon pack or added a sixth PSA 10 to your collection, you’ve made 2025 a year to remember.

We’re grateful to serve this community—not just as a card shop, but as a place where collectors connect, learn, and grow.

Here’s to even bigger pulls, stronger collections, and new adventures in 2026.
