There was a thread started in MLB but I recently moved to collecting NBA almost exclusively. I've been focusing mostly on Wemby in an attempt to get all or most of his Rookie cards. It's my hope that he surpasses MJ and Lebron one day.

I've been purchasing PSA 10 graded Lebron, Luka, and Nikola cards too. I also buy blaster boxes.

Anyone?

I remember after I graduated from college, a few friends and I were going to pool money to try to buy a 03-04 Exquisite LeBron James RPA rookie card. It was like $12,000-15,000 at the time when it came up for auction somewhere (I forget where). Buy it now price too. We chickened out. LMAO.

It's impossible to keep track of what's what now with all of these 1/1 cards and variant sets.

Not since I was a kid. Hope my Pippen rookie card where his name is misspelled is worth millions someday.

My son and I do. It's just for fun. I don't expect to get some big return down the road. I have thousands of worthless junk era baseball cards and a handful of basketball cards that I actually care about lol.

I don't have anything too fancy. I started collecting Dirk cards (and other Mavs) during his prime. My best is his SP Authentic RC, #d out of 3500. I may get it graded some day. I did pick up a PSA authenticated autographed Dirk RC recently.
My son has a Luka RC that he got signed before a Rockets game last year.

I haven't pulled the trigger on any high end hobby boxes. Just can't justify spending $1,000+ on a few cards.

What I don't like about collecting is that everything is Panini now. It was more fun when you still had Topps, Upper Deck, and Fleer to choose from.

Is there a place that any of you recommend buying blasters or hobby boxes? Best deal?

My 5 year old is really into cards, so I buy some for him sometimes. I like cards and had a decent amount as a kid, but never really got into it. My brother in law has something like 10,000+ and give cards to my son all the time.

Ya I've got a shoe box of cards from the late 90s/early 00s. And I've been adding to my Dirk collection on and off for years.

Sorry, staff had me in timeout. This was probably the best card I pulled out of my first hobby box. I had bought this box specifically for "stained glass" cards. Needless to say, I was pumped
