    I'm the same as you. Collected a bunch as a kid, then just stopped. Woke up a week or 2 ago and thought "I'm going to collect cards again". This time it's more serious and I haven't gotten off of eBay since. Lol

        I'm just gunning for Autos on eBay right now. At first I bought a few packs and boxes, but got absolutely nowhere. I never really trusted eBay either, but it really is a good place to find what you want. Gotten together a nice collection from eBay. More pictures to come.

            I definitely want to get Julius Randle, Andrew Wiggins, and Joel Embiid auto cards when they come out. Possible Jabari Parker too. Patiently waiting.

              The reason not to use the 9 card pages for any card that might have a little value is simply protection factor. They just don't do a good job. Turning the pages can bend the cards. You should always keep anything that has any sort of value, whether its to you, or monetary, in soft plastic then put that in hard plastic. And in my opinion, if its a card worth $20 or more it should be in a screw down or at least snap down case.

                  Every card I have is in a penny sleeve. for what I have for my PC, all rookies are in RC too loaders. Anything more than a quarter card, and minor league cards of top prospects or stars are in top loaders. I have a four 3 column boxes for cardinals, brewers, rams, baseball RCs and prospects. Lots of top loaders. And two column box of just Harper, Strasburg, trout, and puig. Plus all autos and jerseys in top loaders.

                    I would use a penny sleeve + top loader for all of the autos + the "valuable" base cards like that Abreu blue.

                    For the more expensive cards I would use a one touch magnetic case. Those are like $2.50 per I think.

                      I stick to top loaders unless the card doesn't fit I'll use a different case then. The only skinny card I have in a case is my LeBron topps chrome RC. But it's also under lock and key buried 10 stories below my parents house in a small vacuum sealed room.

                        I use soft sleeves and top loaders for almost anything that's not a base card.

                          Thanks guys for all the tips, I really appreciate the help for the newbie (myself) ! Lol

                          & for the Bowman Inception cards, those are kinda thick, do they go in the same sleeves or toploaders ?

                            Check that site I linked, they sell thicker toploaders/sleeves designed for the bigger cards that they can fit in. I would google what PT the Inception cards are, then go to that site and see what toploader you would need.

                              Thinking about making a run at a Kiko Alonso card. Sucks what happened to him, but he's young and will hopefully bounce back.

                                Currently putting together a "watch list" on eBay so I can follow what I want. I am really enjoying this hobby.
