Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

Noob Here!

I registered a while ago, but I've just been lurking while I try to relearn the hobby. I collected from 1988 to 1992 or 1993 and had about 50,000 cards or so. I was a kid, so I sold a lot of 'em - turns out, for a profit on most of them! image

I just started collecting again in the last year or so, buying a lot of junk wax from my childhood. I like to get enough wax boxes to fill a box. I've been buying various blaster boxes, but I haven't opened them. I'm still not sure how into the new stuff I really am. I want to get into vintage, but I'm broke! image

I'm a Braves fan. Feel free to pity me.

    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!' Mark Frost

    Welcome Derek.

    No dough? I promise you're in good company.

    I collect board games - the last one I just picked up cost 9.99. I'm sure you'll find something to collect that doesn't necessarily have to have you selling a kidney.

    Good luck and don't be a stranger.

  • Thanks, guys!

    I definitely enjoy buying the newer stuff, too, I'm just not sure what direction I'll take this little hobby of mine.
