I am so excited to share I will be set up at the National for the first time this year!
I will be set up along with the Sports Cards Nonsense Media group, and will have a dedicated table throughout the week where anyone can come up, check out the cards I have for sale, or offer me cards they might have to sell, and make a deal!
For every deal we do at the National, a donation to the National’s Youth Collectors Club Initiative will be made with profits from the deals we make at the National!
If you are looking to sell cards - here is what I am looking for:
-1900-1980 Vintage Graded HOF Baseball
-Rare, Low Pop, HOF cards (Signed Vintage, High Grade, or Low Print Run Sets)
-Graded 1980s -1990s basketball
-1933 Goudey
-1950’s Topps and Bowman
I have pictures of some of the inventory I am bringing to the show in my post this morning about it - check it out and email me at bonkerscards@gmail.com if you would like to arrange time to plan a deal!
The National is right around the corner, and I want to see as many of you there as possible. I’m hosting a Bonkers Cards Club Happy Hour Thursday, 7/30 at 7:00PM at Crust — mark your calendars now!
Whether you’re a Club member or just a reader of the newsletter who wants to come hang out and talk cards, I’d love to see you there. More details to come, but lock in the time and place now.
📍 Crust Brewing, Rosemont IL — Thursday, 7PM
This week on the show I recapped Fanatics Fest, looked ahead to the National and also talked about a recent post I made that seemed to divide the vintage community surrounding eye appeal vs. high grade cards.
You can stream that episode here!
Bonkers Cards Club members can also read my blog post diving deeper into the scarcity value of high grade cards:
In case you missed it last week - there’s a new feature on VCP now for data insights and hobby news - VCP News! (They’ve also got a new headline cover photo on the site of some guy holding up a ‘52 Mantle!)
As part of my partnership with VCP, I will be contributing once a month to VCP news, bringing more of my hobby insights to their audience. You can read the posts for free on their site here:

Greg Morris Cards has been a great sponsor and partner of mine, and I am so grateful for their continued support of both the Bonkers Cards LIVE show and this newsletter.
For those that aren’t familiar with Greg Morris Cards — they are one of the largest and most respected eBay consignment partners in the industry. They’ve made a name for themselves especially for selling high quality raw vintage cards, and have been able to get record prices for the cards they sell on their platform.
I am always looking to buy and sell vintage graded cards — however, sometimes you guys have cards for sale that don’t always align with what I’m looking for or make the most sense for my platform. If you have raw cards, modern cards, or vintage cards that might not be the right fit for me and my show — email me at bonkerscards@gmail.com with the cards you want to sell, and I will make the personal introduction to the GM consignment team.
If you would prefer to go to GM Cards on your own — click “Consign” on their main site at gregmorriscards.com/consign-raw and select Gordy Bonker’s Cards under the referral drop-down menu.
Zion Card Cases are honestly the best buy I’ve ever made for storing and protecting my cards. If you need a case, I can get you 10% off your order!
Use promo code GORDONBONKER at checkout for 10% off.
👉 Shop Zion Cases — use code GORDONBONKER
