This is one of the very few cards I insisted on buying graded. Have a few Ohtani Update rookies I pulled in 2018 but this is my first and only Series 2 rookie. Bought it mid summer when I felt he had a chance at 50/50 and it paid off nicely with it now worth 2X+ what I paid.

My all time favorite Nolan card. These could be had for about a buck until Covid hit. Now they run about $5-$6 each.

These are playing cards but they still count. These are super nice in hand!

i collect 1970 through 1980. 71 Topps are the best. Need a NrMn or better 71 Clemente

This is a fun one. No that ain’t Derek Jeter no matter what it says on the card.

I'm jealous....

These are from 1985 Topps and I pulled them when I was 7 years old. They were pulled from packs my Grandmother bought me almost 40 years ago. For years these cards were worthless but they have skyrocketed in price lately because many consider it his rookie. These are in typical child owned condition but they are priceless to me.

That's right Brother!

I don't have much worth anything....lol. I have a Kobe refractor, not atomic....a Frank Thomas RC that was worth something at one point. Speaking of being worth something at one time and not longer, I have a Mark Mcguire RC. The only 1 of 1 I've ever pulled was a Press plate of Garrett Anderson. Everything else is probably under $2..... oh how much money I've lost....

If you really want to get sucked back into the hobby make the trip to the Dallas Card Show in March. Its actually held in Allen but its worth the drive from San Antonio. Its the biggest card show in the U.S. other than the National that happens once a year. I usually go on Friday and Saturday and still cant see everything in 2 days. Lots of value boxes to go through. I have spent as much as 6 hours at one dealer before just looking through value boxes. There is plenty of high end as well. I have seen Million dollar cards there on more than 1 occasion.

I've already started, and I'm on full tilt. I'm trying to stay in the known territory, mostly older cards that won't be so the volatile. Starting with some UT legends.

I might make a trip up there, it sounds cool.

That's what McGwire looked like when I played against him in the NW League. He played 3rd base at Modesto, and was tall and rather thin. What a difference those 'roids made.

Oh, man ....I'm all in. and in deep. I'm gonna head up there next month.

I have 4 Gretzky rookie cards in plastic in my climate controlled safe. 1978 O Pee Chee. Everything else I own is meh.

Here is most of my Mantle collection with somw othera in there as well.

wow!!!

Very nice

I've got a bunch of my dads cards from the 50's and 60's. There's a bunch of Mickey Mantle, Hank Arron, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Stan Musial ect ect. I'll try to remember to take a picture this weekend and post them up. None are graded but I'm thinking about sending some of the better condition ones to PSA.

I collected in 80' and 90's but as mentioned it is a pretty worthless era for card collecting. About 15 or so years ago I got the itch again and bought some graded cards from back then. now I cant even remember wat I paid for them.

I have boxes full of cards from the 80’s-90’s and a ton of comics from the 60’s-80’s. I have girls and they’re not interested in that stuff.

I’d entertain getting rid of them if someone is interested.

I would be interested in the cards, I know nothing about comic books.

So i finally bought my first box of cards. I pulled the trigger on a bowman chrome hobby box (60 cards), and boy was it expensive. They go for a little under $400 out the door, but i lucked out and pulled $700 in raw cards. I sent 5 to PSA, if they grade well they should bring over 1k, fingers crossed.

I added a big card to my Clemente collection. Im trying to complete a complete Mantle run and Clemente run
I care more about the eye appeal of a card than the number grade. This one looks amazing.

1955 Topps Clemente Rookie

I picked up a PSA 9 Earl Campbell last week. That's the oldest card I own.

How did that come in as a “2”? Is the back scratched off? It looks like it ha great margins and corners. Was it shaved?

I agree! That card looks well above a 2 just based on the front. Wonder is there is tape or wax stain on back. Wish I could afford to collect vintage but I just have to many other hobbies.
