I don't but I still have a few. They're not in wrappers or anything special but I hear they're not really worth much anyway unless they are of allstar/record breaking types :wave:

I do - I stick mostly with the baseball cards from the lates 60s and early 70s. There are so many card companies now it is difficult to collect everything. My son just started going to card shows with me (he is 7). he is not a big baseball fan but collects football cards. If you have any questions as you get back into it let me know.

I don't collect currently, but I do have a whole stash of them from the 80's and 90's when I was also collecting football, comic and Magic the Gathering cards. Once in a blue moon I do take a gander at the latest Beckett guide at the local grocery store. I still hit myself for not selling my McGuire card before the steroid scandal.

I would love to still be collecting sports card, but they have become way to expensive for a little card board and ink.

Yeah I still bust a pack or two every now n then. It's an addiction I was never able to kick from childhood... LOL, I remember when a pack of cards was cheap but oh how times have changed! It literally is like playing the lottery now...  :D

I used to collect when I was younger.  The packs now seem to be more expensive and you get fewer cards.

I collected them when I was a kid, but the hobby got expensive without being able to work a real time job. I have a ton of basketball cards as well as marvel x-men cards in boxes just sitting there. If I knew a good place to sell them, I'd be rid of them all now.

You need to collect stuff that you enjoy. If you are in it to make a little money then you need to start out with a lot of money. ;D

I only collect cards that remind me of my youth, when players actually stayed with teams for their whole careers.
