Who collected baseball/football/bball/hockey cards when they were young?

[sawastea]

I have boxes full of them. My collection consisted of basically rookies from Mark Messier to Walter Payton. I have basically every cool rookie after '75.

I'm pretty sure every single red-blooded American male did this.

I think I have every Donnie Baseball card ever produced. Got some good autographs too - John Havlicek, Mantle, Joe D, Warren Spahn, Bob Feller, etc

i have the complete topps 60 set (baseball)
and every topps set from 77-90 (bb)
then i stopped
i have a few topps fb sets, i think one of the sets has marinos rookie card in it

bb = baseball? If it's basketball, you're rolling in dough. The Marino set also contains Elway. Nice pickup with the '60 set. Major players in there...

I had like a 76 john Riggins card and a 78 nolan ryan. Upper deck used to rock. I had all the Donruss and Fleer sets I can remember.


Anyone else here go apeshit over seemingly cool baseball card holders? Did you organize and reorganize your collections?

I did. All my cards that are over $300 are in fuckingt brick holders that are like 5" thick.

1986 Fleer basketball = best set EVER produced
