    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    @SymphonicMetal Jeff, that is so cool that you followed the ABA back in the day, that was some HIGH class basketball from some all time great players....Iceman, Dr. J, Moses....some real legends there! Just a quick google search showed that this is an expensive card at the moment, hard to come...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    Hilarious! I have no idea how The Big Hurt could ever look weak! I saw him play many times in Chicago from the cheap seats and even from the top row, he still looked powerful! My friends from SF came to the ballparks in Chgo in 1990 and brought me lots of cards, including this one! He...

    The Bench - what can we do to ramp up the activity?

    Those things at least get people checking the Bench more frequently and scrolling through the forums, and get them checking other threads. That potentially leads to more trading! Blessings, Kevin

    Gretzky RC....real or fake?

    @mm1sub @SymphonicMetal That is REALLY interesting, I had no idea! A guy I hang with sometimes is a big Jordan collector, so I will mention this trick to him, might be good to try at shows before purchasing, he goes a lot in Missouri and I go sometimes as well. Great info! In other related...

    @PRosefan1 That's what I was thinking....and believe it or not my wife said the same thing, which is unusual! She's not a collector.....I may send it off, Nathan coaches at Iowa State now, so this summer might be a good time to try him! Blessings, Kevin

    So, not a card, but I happened upon this Nathan Scheelhaase jersey yesterday afternoon at the local resale shop in our hometown for a buck. Yes, $1 and a frame that was sitting around work waiting to be thrown away, though its in fine shape to hang on our Illini Wall in the garage!

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    I have another memory to share today. My beloved Grandparents took me to my first ever baseball game on August 23rd, 1988: Cubs vs. Astros at Wrigley Field. Jamie Moyer pitched a 9 strikeout complete game, and we sat in the section right below the announcers' booth, so we saw Harry Caray...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    @pinetarboys Josh, you are not kidding. Bo was a BEAST, just an amazing physical specimen who could do anything on the field.....multiple fields, really! My brother in law is a Conservation Officer for the state of Illinois, and met and also had the chance opportunity to hunt with Bo south...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    @bfd13 Those are awesome memories, of an awesome set! So cool that you associate your start in collecting (positive) as serving to get you through your dental work (not so fun). And here you are all these years later, still enjoying it! 1970 Topps were a cool set featuring amazing players, and...

    The Bench - what can we do to ramp up the activity?

    @shig You are right, I think baseball is always the hottest commodity, at least that has been my experience at shops, conventions, shows, online, etc....I feel like everything baseball is typically going higher (other than Michael Jordan stuff right now, my gosh...) For me right now its...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    @cornwellfamily GREAT stories my friend, what awesome memories. That is why I have continued to collect and be around this hobby for so long (almost 37 years now, since the Bears were hot in 1985!!), because of the memories of finding fun cards as a child. As far as your sons' hits, I am going...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    @criollos Luis, those are two REALLY cool cards, neither of which I have ever seen before! Thanks for sharing....the 74 Garvey was way ahead of its time in terms of the out of focus background, I dont know how photography was in those days, but I would say that would have been a hard effect to...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    @SymphonicMetal AWESOME! Thanks for your great reply Jeff, and that is so cool to know that those are your favorites! Jim Brown was an amazing all-around athlete, and I feel like he doesnt get his due today, as many people remember him for leaving at the top of his game to act, rather than to...

    Your Favorite Cards of All Time?

    Hey friends, In an effort to get some more dialogue going, I am interested to see what your favorite item(s) in your collection are? It would be fun to find out what cool things everyone has that are special, and most interestingly, WHY are these particular items special to you? What is the...

    The Bench - what can we do to ramp up the activity?

    The Bench is the BEST! It would be nice to see more members getting into it, personally I like the idea of an auction, more contests, etc. Also, maybe incentives for the most active traders, etc? I do think that we all realize that life is busy, but we also need to realize that less than 2...
