if your bored then get out! Quit crying about it on a message board, because the real collectors who actually love and don't cry if mommy doesn't give you money to buy new cards are really out there. Seriously......if cards don't give you a special feeling then go collect something else. Why come crying about it on here?

Basketball ! ! Some of them even admitted the lack of excitment in collecting this garbage.You know its bad when there are GU Jordans going for $10 on eBay.Not only does the NBA itself suck,they've even managed to burn alot of the basketball card collectors out as well.GU warm ups,wrist bands....etc........LOL! Kind of sad actually!
If you want FUN back in your collecting start collecting football, baseball or yes,even hockey.There are some hot young rookies in all these sports that'll provide you with that THRILL you all have seem to have lost.just our 2 Lincolns!

<< <i>Is there a way to use your own icon and not one from the list? >>
Not anymore. Carol has banned everyone from being able to upload their own icon because people were putting icons of half-naked women or using dirty pictures for their icons. I can understand that, but I don't think it's right for us to be able to not upload icons just because a few people were using dirty pics for their icons. Hell, all she has to do is delete the pics and give them a warning and if they continue to upload dirty pics, then give them the boot. Simple as that.
Another thing...Carol pm's me and tells me that my Andruw Jones picture in my sig is way too big and I have to delete it or just make it a lot smaller...so I said to hell with it...I'll just delete the entire thing. I don't even feel like arguing about it. Yet, you have people with 4 huge a$$ pics in their sigs (like Kbryant used to have with the 'incoming Kobe's) and she doesn't say jack sh*t to them about it. I've seen pics in sigs that were the size of King Kong's balls...but she doesn't say anything to them. It's very lame in my opinion...she's never liked me anyway...for some odd reason...but whatever.

Basketball is here to stay.
as for cards themself as a baseball collector you can't even say anything about basketballs wristbands and warm-ups hell baseball has bases, walls and DIRT in the gu line-up.....don't forget the turf cards in football now come on......
please don't let the actions of some guys destroy the whole image of the NBA

to how I feel about the NBA is all.You all need to re-read those posts about those guys who are whining.I was just making an observation that MOST of them are basketball collectors.
As far as the GU of other sports,most all sports have flooded the market.We don't even collect most GU anymore,except of the players we like & the BAP Hockey which are REAL nice because they limit the run to 90 or less.If you look at price guides & auction sites tho,alot of the pricing of basketball is in the toilet with few exceptions.
Far be it from me or anyone else to change anyones mind as what to collect.Collect what you like.We have an absolute blast collecting what we like even tho some of you on here are relentless in your bashing of hockey.We were overjoyed when we pulled the multi colored jersey/stick card of Glenn Hall(Goalie who invented the butterfly defense move)knowing there were only 89 more of them out there.Now THAT'S a collectible!
We still agree with psavintage tho;go somewhere else & do your whining!
MAY THE NEXT PACK YOU RIP,HAVE THE CARD OF YOUR DREAMS!

<< <i>NBA is the least skilled sport there is. All you have to do is be tall. How many Hall of Famers in the NBA are under 6'1? In baseball you can be any height and be an all-star. Baseball is harder than basketball, period. Basketball is so boring and all you ever here about basketball is dunking. WOW he dunked the ball. All he or should I say she LMAO is jump like a foot and drop the ball in the hoop. Now that is skill, NOT! Baseball is better, period. >>
Height has nothing to do with it. If that was true, Manute Bol (7' 7"), Gheorghe Muresan (7' 6"), Shawn Bradley (7' 6") would be Hall of Famers. Dunno if you knwo this or not, but the taller you are, the more uncoordinated you are (with a few exceptions). That's why you rarely see any 7 footer being a consistant 3-point shooter. With their long arms and size, they should have a longer range than a shorter player. So, height has nothing to do with it. And the reason dunking is all you hear about is because that's all that is publicized. I agree that basketball isn't what it use to be from the lack of talent, but in the days of Jordan (schooling people), Magic (no look passes), Kareem (Skyhook), and little Spud Webb winning the Slam dunk contest, those were the glory days of basketball. And since basketball takes no skill, I'd be willing to put money that you couldn't hit 8 3-pointers in a row. The basket isn't that big. I like baseball, but baseball isn't all that. How can you have a player batting .200 or less still be in the majors. The games last too long.You want to talk about boring.. *cough*Hockey*cough*. Back and forth, back and forth with no points being scored. But as each sport, you have to be a fan to like it.
<< <i>I'd like to see Shaq try to hit one of Randy Johnson's pitches. >>
I'd like to see Randy Johnson dunk with authority. That would be interesting.
Of course, give me football over all that crap.
<< <i>Can you say randy johnson soared through the air from the free throw line and hit a home run? NUFF SAID >>
I can't even say that I know how to soar from the free throw line and hit a home run.
Andrew
Man all of the good players are tall. I didn't say that they had to be 7 foot. All you have to do is be tall like from 6'4 + and be an all-star. Basketball is everything related to height. How many short basketball hall of famers do you know of? Or anyone know of?
Ok now running is a skill, didn't think so! Shaq and Karl Malone are both fat though especially Shaq. He is like a mack truck! He just plows through people and jumps and places a ball in a hoop. That is not a skill! Baseball requires more skill! Try hitting a 98 mph fastball and then try to hit a curveball the next pitch. If you can do that you have more skill than any NBA player. Try catching a a 100mph + ball in a mit! Try that I dare you all! Baseball is the most skilled required sport there is, period.
He absolutely sucked at baseball. Even if he hit a minor league fastball out of the park that is not that big of a deal. You can't compare minor league fastballs to Major League fastballs! you just can't. I will tell everyone one last time, Baseball requires more skill than Basketball and any other sport.
<< <i>I would like to see Randy Johnson at 6'8" is it.. try to post up on shaq.. or Karl Malone..a whole inch taller than him.. Basketball does take skill and hand eye coordination.. as does baseball.. but a NBA'er does more running in one game.. than a baseball player in a week of games... heck..the 1B rarely moves at all. >>
Randy Johnson, I believe, is 6'11" so he might have a "slight" chance...
Actually, I'm going to have to agree with islandboys (for the first time ever) that baseball is probably the sport that requires the most skill of any sport. Hitting a baseball is a lot harder than shooting a basketball or laying it up in the bucket for 2 points. Not only do you have to have great hand/eye coordination, but you have to be looking for a certain pitch to hit...baseball is the toughest in my opinion.
Have you ever played the game of basketball, baseball or football? I doubt it because you dont have a clue.
I never played professionally but i played major college baseball and basketball and can tell you basketball players are better athletes by far. True the 7 footers may not be , but i know some 6'8 guys that are terrific athletes that could compete in a triathlon
As far as basketball cards being dead-not in San francisco area. The hobby stores near me regularlly sell out and say its a strong sport for them
I collect basketball ONLY and i am not bored with it at all-but i collect sets with ALL the short printed rookies. This keeps me busy year round just chasing one card (even if its a common rookie ).I know, i know people will say they dont have money to do that..well you could have made several sets cheaply this year for under $200.00
Xpectations
Force
Chrome
Heritage
Plus you get the satisfaction of completing something. Besides, how many complete sets are out there when you count say 1000 of a rookie run less unopened boxes, some stashed by player collectors, some stashed over seas, some trashed and thrown away. For the expensive set like Ultimate i would guess that no more than 20 complete sets were made. Force perhaps 30.
It is doable and the longer you wait to do it the cheaper the rookies get, but the harder it is to locate the minor rookies and surprisingly they get more expensive while the star rookies decrease in price

a. homerun to win the game
b.hole in one
c. touchdown to win the game
d. last second buzzer beater in basketball
basketball won hands down.
I would love to see baseball players come do some windmill jams or actually run up and down the court for 48 mins.
Basketball is way more athletic PERIOD.
Sure a-rod can hit a homerun and catch some fly balls, but WHO CARES.
Basketball superstars can do a bit of everything and spend alot more energy. When do you actually see a baseball player sweat?
'especially when you play with a broken arm like (i think) Jack Lambert did
well its easy for me.
another point.. the batting crown should be won by somebody in the .340-350 range this year.. which is about the same percentage as a very skilled 3 pt shooter.. why is hitting a baseball sucessfull 34-35 percent of the time a skill... but sucessfully making a 3 pointer with a guy inches from your face 34-35 percent of the time not a skill???
and lastly... Mo Vaughn... I dont think I need to type any more about this one.

6' + is common. And 6' 4" in the NBA is considered short. It's about dribbling skills, the ability to see the entire court, and accuracy. Spud Webb was 5' 7"
You better recognize the dunking skills!
