I know this has nothing to do with High School Sports but I thought I’d post and ask anyway since football season is over. Do any of you collect sports cards as a hobby?

Looking to find fellow collectors. I’ve got tons of cards.
Started around Boggs, Mattingly rookie years. Branched out a lot since from 50s through Derek Jeter rookie. Leave all those newfangled cards to baby boy to figure out.

He knows all the variants of new stuff. I stick to mostly 85 and earlier but have been known to flip some newer to get older. Just did first PSA grades awhile back. Two Mattingly rookies, Boggs rookie, couple of Griffey Jr rookies and even a Jeff Gordon rookie. Got a few 9s and several 8s. No 10s though

As mentioned above, if you ever decide to let loose of some…😀
One of the cards I sent to be graded was an LT all star from 86 I think. It got a 9.
And I was a freshman with MJ so you should really consider leaving any of his early Fleers to me…
Just saying 😜

Y’all do that. All joking aside if you want to know values, if that even matters, do a search on eBay. Make sure you look at what has been sold though, not what people are asking for them.

I use to collect from way back real early 80’s baseball and some NFL football cards. With the likes of Bob Horner, Willie Stargell, Reggie Jackson, George Foster, Dave Conception, Ken Griffey, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, and many others. Have football cards of Steve Bartkowski, Ron Jaworski, and many others. I have no idea what they worth. I never checked about what they are worth.

And that’s the way it should be I think. You collect what you like.
Only reason I know values is sooo many duplicates. Would just as soon trade with folks but that’s not easy to do nowadays.

My favorite bottle is my Mt Dew with tobacco leaf made special for the Southern Flue Cured Tobacco Convention. Think it’s 1979. Got some fairly decent old Coke bottles too from December 1923.
Did I mention I’m old?
oldtimer sounds like u should be leaving me cards not vice versa lol

So I went into antique store and found a 1966 Rookie All Star card with Ferguson Jenkins from Phillies for $45 dollars. Any thoughts for that price. Would it be worth getting it.

Only card I’m seeing is a Fergie Jenkins/Bill Sorrell Rookie Stars Card. It’s the only thing that shows up for Fergies Rookie card. There is, however, a 2001 Topps Archives Rookie Reprint. If that’s the case, nowhere close to 45$
See that’s why we should all talk about cards, especially when it comes to some we may not be familiar with.
Well done sir.
