Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

I often wonder...

How many players collect cards. If I were a player I would want each and every card of at least myself and my buddies. I imagine card companies may send them courtesy cards.

    The card companies couldn't give 1/1 cards to them even if they wanted to. Then they wouldn't be 1/1.

  • I know Phil Hughes and Pat Neshek collect cards of themselves. They buy their cards on ebay.

    Here's Pat signing a few (around 550) stickers..

    Oh yeah. All kinds. With autos, super shiny, with pieces of their jersey etc.

    Red 1/1 sheet ***edited to add- I know some Bowman Chrome Red are 1/1 and some are /5. Unsure on those in this pic.

    Superfractor 1/1 sheet *notice some players were printed twice. I guess in case of a mishap. But where does the unused extra go...2040 Topps Vault?

    I know Patrick Roy was a collector.
    Kevin Dineen was a collector of all cards of players he played with.

    That would be sweet to sell a player a card of themselves. I would request they pay with check or Money order and not cash it image

    I guess a lot has changed in the last 10-15 years. I love the auto and relic cards. I think it best if I not venture back into the hobby, Would have to relearn everything lol.

    Good Day,
    I have sold cards of the Stars twice from the 1953 Television and Radio Stars of NBC Set, once to one of the Stars who has a card, and once to a Relative who wanted a memento.
