Anyone collect baseball cards?

[ChicoRodriguez]

I'm starting to get back into baseball card collecting, mainly the material cards (i.e. jerseys, pants, bats, etc.).  Looking for a talking/trading partner.  Let me know if you're interested.

Kinda OT:  You wanna be depressed about something?  Check the prices for your treasured $$$ cards you thought you would retire on when you were a kid.  I think most of mine are worth less now than when I was 13.

QFT.
I have nearly every card printed in the 80s. Football, baseball, basketball, you name it.
Except for a few, they aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

I collected cards starting in 1980.  I always got the thrill of building entire sets by opening packs (then 30 to 50 cents per pack).  I'd always fill out my set with a card collector out of Bennington.  As I got into my college years, the prices of cards skyrocketed and the number of cards per pack were shrinking.  I bought a couple of full sets in the early 90's, but that was it.  I always seem to buy a pack or two every year, just to maintain the thrill of getting a whole bunch of nothing in a pack.  Getting a George Brett card was always the best.  *sigh*

I've got a Brett rookie that sits in the safety deposit box.  I've also got an uncut sheet with a McGwire USA team and a Dwight Gooden rookie.  It was $9 when I bought it.  It was about $500 at the height of McGwire's chase, but it probably wouldn't bring much more than 50-100 now.  Haven't checked in awhile.  I'll just hang on to it.

Dang.... I coulda sold it for a few hundert a couple years ago.  *sigh*

It's not mint condition either.  It's got a touch of wear on the corners.  Bought it for $35 way back.  Good thing I didn't buy it as an investment.

Thanks for ruining my day, SD.

Pavel Bure was my fave growing up, along with Alexander Mogilny.

I dug out the cards that I had collected 15 years ago and put all but 3 back in the box.  I figured I'd give it one more go around and see if I can find enjoyment somewhere.

I collect cards, too.  Oh wait, no I don't, I'm not 13.

If you're not 13, then what are you doing hanging out on jonas brothers message boards

People can be so mean 

To refute this for the record, the average age for baseball card collectors is now 26.

I've got some hobby boxes coming and will scan in any hits.

I used to collect baseball cards back in the 80's and quit in the early 90's when the prices started to skyrocket.  Back in the good old days a pack of Topps was like 35 cents and you got 15 cards and a free delicious piece of gum was included!!

Another reason that I, along with most males quit collecting baseball cards, was the discovery of pussy.  Let's see, I can research card prices in the new Beckett Monthly, or chase some tail.

My parents bought me a complete set of tops every year  from 81(born) to 99(turned 18). Then they burnt in a fire . My dad sold his Manle and Maris rookie cards and put down a nice down payment on their house

I used to collect football, baseball, and basketball cards in general, but for the past 8 years I have been focused more on KSU alumni players (either college or pro uniforms).  I have about 1500 different KSU cards (not counting duplicates), and about 60,000 cards all together.  Got a couple of serially numbered 1/1 cards of Darren Sproles.    

I'm always looking for trading partners for KSU cards including the promotional cards they give out at games.
