Re: Baseball cards

I just recently completed my 1974 Topps set that I began collecting when I was 6. It was a fun venture. I have some other partial sets from 1975 on that I may start trying to complete.

When I spend time with my cards it isn't with dollar signs in my eyes but it takes me back to a time when these things were the most important part of my life.

Re: Baseball cards

im a hardcore vintage collector. I ocasionally will buy a few modern day cards but its mostly vintage. I have many impressive cards as well. my goal is to collect a mantle card from every year that he played. Even though im just 16 i already have around 7 mantles varying years. but back on collecting as a whole i love it. there hasnt been a time where i stopped at the mall or even the local grocery store and not bought at least one pack of cards. its a good addiction lol

Re: Baseball cards

I bought 3 Barry Bonds cards after he broke the single season record. An autographed card, a bat card, and a college card all in mint condition.

I thought they would skyrocket in value over the years, but it don't look so good.

Re: Baseball cards

I have over 100 complete sets of baseball cards. (I also have football and basketball sets) I have a few vintage and rare cards as well. My grandfather owned and operated some card stores back in the day and he was a collector himself (so am I) and when he passed that is what he left me. I have over 1,000 sets of cards ranging from Basketball, Baseball, Football, Hockey, and even some Nascar stuff as well.

Re: Baseball cards

I used to collect a lot, but took a long break. The last two years, I've really been getting back into it though. Gotten a few killer scores lately too!

Re: Baseball cards

not recently, but have every Topps set from '85 to 98, and also got the '85 Topps Football set when I wanted baseball cards -- needless to say, not too shabby to have Jerry Rice RC

I used to love having McGwire's RC from '85 (Team USA)..

Re: Baseball cards

I collected alot when I was a kid. But for the past 10 years I have been on and over. Buying a ton of cards and then selling them off. Only to start over a couple months later. But this past year my son who is 9 years old has really gotten into it. With all the jersey cards and etc. But he is really old school. He likes getting cards of Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and guys from that era. I really enjoy collecting cards now with my sons. I like seeing his face when we're opening a box of cards and he pulls a jersey card or autograph.
