[4fifteenRolla]

[Anaheim*Rob]

I got a pretty nice collection. If I had a digital camera I'd throw up some shots. My best card is probably my 1970-71 Topps Pistol Pete Maravich rookie. My favorite's probably my 1970 Topps OJ Simpson rookie. I've been thinking about sending it to Beckett to get it graded. I still buy and resell every now and then, I even got the little ones collecting too.

@Gas, Upper Deck, Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Leaf, Score, O-Pee-Chee (the Canadian Topps), etc.

 

[Gas One]

I used to collect baseball and football cards like a mofo, i have a nice collection of about 10+ 1960's Mickey Mantle cards each go for atleast 150-200. My favorites are probally tho a Dan Marino autograph card i pulled out of a pack of cards from 1998 i was tryin to get a Peyton rookie but that card was even better . Another was a Yogi Berra auto i pulled out of a pack of 2001 hall of famers.

 

[LAZYBOY408]

i got a nolan ryan gold card from upper deck

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

My folks used to buy me the janky ass kind (forget what they were).

All my friends would have the nice ass little photo album looking things with perfectly preserved cards.

My shit was a round cookie tin with bent ass cards lookin all broketified. It was embarassing. Even people who were more poor than I was had hella good cards in good ass condition in their little faggy cardbooks. It was bullshit.

 

[Mike Manson]

So you don't get money for them cards anymore? There goes my retirement plan...

 

[SocialResponsibility]

got the official jordan rookie card sitting in 3 inches of plastic......last time i checked it was at a couple of geeze

 

[ESFCE]

I got alot of cards sitting around....wonder if they are still worth anything. Becket magazine was the mag you would check each cards worth in lol...

 

[MRTHECOSE]

cards have gone down alot..i would say ca$h out while u can b4 the bomb drops

 

[ESFCE]

I also got alot of Marvel comic cards....hologram and chromium ones...Im gonna do some research and see what I can get for em. With the easiness of printing and all that these days, all they are is pieces of cardboard with pictures on em.

 

[los-nssj408]

yea i remember that shit i used to have about four big ass binders full of football, basketball and baseball cards. but if you really want to take it back what happen with those pogs. any one remember that shit?

 

[drunkaholic707]

and if anyone gives a fuck about the buffalo bills ill send you a minature helmet (for free that i ganked at qualcomm, i dont need it) shits like 30 bucks retail

haha i remember the lil helmets that you would get from the quarter machines hopin to get a new one every time u put a quarter in

 

[Gas One]

haha oh naaah not those quarter ones..theyre bigger.you get em at football games andshit..but yup i remember them too..

yeah i need to get rid of my comics AND my cards...pronto..

 

[DAT NIGGA TAZZ]

i still got dumbass football and basketball cards. i think my best cards were this rare ass autographed and numbered iverson card from when he was in college. and i had a kobe autograph from his rookie year, but i sold them. i still got some hitters, shaq, kobe, t mac, tim duncan, mike bibby. i still gotta payton maning lil game used card

 

[killahoe666]

Damn I used to collect like a mutherfucker used to get baseball, basketball & football beckets each month (I wonder if I still got em)....I got me some a-rod & jeter rookie cards, all shaq rookie cards a grip of jordan cards but nothing like rookie rareites of jordan, I even have a mini box of wheaties of jordan from way back when. I bought cards a few years back when Lebron & carmello came in looking to get their rookies but I never did damnit

My favorite card is the bo jackson black and white with the bat & shoulder pads aint worth shit no more but it's still tight

 

[D-Rose]

Man, I used to collect cards since i was like 5 years old. With those topps football cards with the gum in the pack, and nba hoops, LOL. I stopped probably midway thru high school. But every now and then i buy a pack or 2 for shits and giggles.

It seems like the value of cards plummeted ever since ebay blew up, and it made it easier to get cards. Look on ebay, cards aint worth SHIT no more.

 

[D-Rose]

baseball at the time was ken griffey jrs special ass card...shit was like 80 bucks back then

Yea, i remember that one, his rookie card right? It was upper deck and it was a big ass pic of his face right? lol. Anyone who had that card was a G back then.
