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

[Devastation]

i did, i usually just bought rookie cards early in people's career and had some good luck. there were a few tho i bought after they had gotten big, '68 nolan ryan. best deal i ever got tho was an '86 mj rookie card for $75 from a retarded kid (he wasn't really retarded but he needed money for drugs i think) and turned around and sold it on ebay 8 yrs later

i did cash in my bonds at almost it's peak value tho. glad i did

none of my cards are graded. some of them i wish were but that's so fukin expensive, imo

i have a grip load of shaq rookies, but most of his rookies were way overproduced, ala hoops david robinson, so they aren't worth shit

I only collected cards from like 86 - 89

Among my priced possesions are a Carl Ripken Jr rookie and Carl Yatzrimsky (however the fuck you spell his last name) 2nd year rookie. Other than that just rookie cards of a lot of the current great players.

i remember stealing some shitty cards...i'm thinking regular fleer baseball from like 91-93. or maybe it was donruss. damn those were crappy pieces of cardboard.

but anyway, one of these brands had a chase set called 'elite'...one day i found not 1, but two of these cards IN THE SAME PACK. and they were BOTH the same card..ryne sandberg. at the time, beckett's listed it at $150 apiece. i was happy.

good times.

Beckett Grading has specials where you can get 10 cards done for $10 each.

I wait for these to happen. I have rookie cards up the ass. I'm sitting on 21 Bonds rookies that look to be a close BGS 9.0.

I just chucked 18 Rapheal Palmeiro's the other day.....

I have some Tom Brady rookies that need to be graded. You can make some serious money if you have the patience to locate cards.

Collect them?


I use to put them between the spokes on my bike, and they would make cool noises.

did anyone have that one card.. i think it was cal ripken. where his bat said "fuck you" on it or whatever.. that shit was hilarious

 

[jackangel]

i think that's billy ripken.

 

[sawastea]

Lestat, it was Billy Ripkin in '90 UD I believe...

Define rookie cheeseball. Isn't rookie the first year they came up or first produced as in the '86 Fleer basketball?
