    lol issues. People got some issues spending a grand a month on CARDS. There are other things out there besides CARDS! LMAO I personally would rather spend less money so when you do trade or buy a pack you can have more fun with the cards you get! I'm lucky if I spend $20 a month at most on buying cards, otherwise I only trade. A grand a month.... save for a few months and you can go on a nice vacation.

    actually some people who spend a grand a month ON THE RIGHT THING "say a babe ruth autograph" are actually pretty smart. They get a cool item and always have the money they spent incase they want to re-sell someday.

    the people who spend a grand a month on fast food, lottery tickets, and cigarettes are the real idiots

    so jason, the ones who WASTE A GRAND A MONTH HAVE ISSUES.

    t1mac, you think you have a great life? YOU COLLECT SWEATY WRISTBANDS FROM BASKETBALL PLAYERS, that's all I gotta say about that bro.

    if you enjoy the hobby then money shouldn't matter, some of you are just jealous you couldn't spend 1 grand a month on memorabilia or cards.

    we'll I had to say something, because I think kids don't understand how hard it actually is to earn a dollar.

    When you get older KIDS you will realize spending a grand and having nothing to show for it HURTS. It's not always about fun and games when your an adult....that's why your kids!! I know your mommy isn't going to give you a grand so you try to make fun of people who work hard and actually want to save some money or even make money off cards? ADULTS HAVE TO PAY RENT, BILLS, AND YOUR 50$ ALLOWANCE T1MAC TO GO TO ORLANDO MAGIC GAMES!

    as a matter of fact i do have a great life, i have fun going to magic games, seeing the players in person at the hotel, and hanging out with my girlfriend on friday (you should try it sometimes, its kinda fun)
    I Still don't see why you guys think its so weird or gross, cause contrary to belief, your jersey cards where sweated upon at one point, why are they cool to you? Cause the player wore them correct?
    thats why my bands are cool to me...
    and nope, i didnt spend a grand a month On them, lmao

    I don't get a damn allowance. You young people ( image ) don't know what it is to have to stick your butt up in a 90 degree attuck for 2 hours fixing some idiots A/C for about 40 bucks pay once a month except in the summers. and due to that fact If my mom doesn't send me some cash, I usually spend about 1-10 bucks a month on cards considering I don't think I bought anything this month, so that is about an average. The most spending I do is the show in Jan. where I drop like 65-75 bucks.

    t1mac,

    you make no sense, you say MY jersey cards? What jersey cards? I don't collect GAME USED PERIOD. Ok my bad you pay 10 bucks for tickets and I thought you might of bought food at the game, but I guess your mom packs you a lunchable with an extra capri sun eh?

    you say I didn't spend 1 grand on my tmac wristband? NOBODY WOULD SPEND 1 GRAND ON HIS WRISTBAND PERIOD.

    I said if you spend a grand on the "right thing" not GAME USED JERSEY CARDS. wow buddy you hang out with your girl on friday nights? COME BACK TO ME WHEN YOU HAVE A GIRL LIVING WITH YOU AND YOU HAVE IN HOUSE "HUMHUM". Oh my bad you wouldn't know about that kid

    if someone can afford spending a grand on cards, IT'S ONLY OBVIOUS THEY CAN AFFORD GOING TO MAGIC GAMES AND BEG TMAC FOR HIS WRISTBAND

    P.S zardos is a perfect example, the guy is married and he spends A FORTUNE ON CARDS

    I think his wife even collects cards

    yea i spend a lil, but i go by myself, maybe 5 bucks for Taco bell b4 the game... i dont get stuff at the arena...
    and a grand on cards is stupid regardless...
    i spend the rest of stuff on my girl, yea ok im 17, im really a *Kid*...
    but being 17 i dont gotta worry about all that... But i still am no fool, if u wanna spend grand a month on stupid crap, be my guest, my GU is more valuable, and who says i beg? hah! Last year was my year for tmacs ( 9 total) this year i only went for his a few times 2 pay a debt i owed and got it once...
    the rest i got from other players...
    so don't come back at me cuz i collect wristbands, 1. Full Game Used Item...
    2. I know there from the player...
    3. I Didnt Spend a Dime on them!
    4. Well almost every one's a *Patch* card...
    and its always a new High when i get one...
    And i chase my own "Sets", Color Wise.. I Completed Erobs (black , red)
    and im close 2 Ricky davis (BLue, BLack) need white
    and tmacs all i need is Black...
    so its all good n what not...
    of course if ugot a family , or wat not maybe theres other things u could spend ur money on... Me im not an adult yet so i aint gotta worry, and kid get it str8t, no capri Sun Here, its frickin HI-C for real, LOL

    200 dollars? WOW BIG MONEY KID

    for the last time, I DON'T BUY GAME USED CARDS PERIOD.

    I could think of about 1 million cards that I would rather have than a sweaty wristband.

    go beg tmac for his socks next time kid, maybe you can actually wear them when you grow up
