cardgirl · January 24, 2013 1:29PM

I'm curious what you're collecting this year! Here are some things I'm thinking about:

An 80's Topps baseball set - my older brother collected these!
Derek Jeter player collection - he is still soooooooo cute!
70's Braves - old school! Love my Braves!!!!

Any other ideas to get me started?????!! Thanks guys!

vintage baseball, basketball, a little football, and jordan cards.

dtkk49a · January 24, 2013 5:45PM

I am putting together a bunch of moderns to sell and i plan to purchase some cases to rip. I also have some autos I want to get slabbed.

LeonLuckey · January 24, 2013 11:01PM

I want to find a nice T3 Cobb that is a good value, in the 2-4 condition range.. I think my chances are very good too...also, would like to upgrade my T5 since the one I have is on a weird mount. That will take care of the T card, type card run.

rajah424 · January 24, 2013 11:21PM

Not to get shilled by board members.

llafoe · January 24, 2013 11:31PM

Since you think Derek Jeter is cute, I assume you're a real girl as opposed to BubbleBathGirl...

btw...

I want to make progress on my 1960 Topps Baseball PSA 8 set. My long standing offer is still valid. I will pay FULL SMR for any common in PSA 8 NQ I still need.

Complete one of the sets I am trying to complete (Red Sox and AL/NL champions for each year since and including 1966) for each decade (60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's)Reduce the stuff I am trying to get rid of by at least 25%Get my 1974 Topps BB collection past 25%

fiveniner · January 25, 2013 2:59AM

Whatever I like that matches my wallet primarily pre 64 baseball.pre84 football.Would like to find a 48,50 or 52 bowman baseball in vg-vg/ex.1976 Topps football set with a Walter Payton Rc psa 8.Set must be nrmt/mt.Will do very little till the National.

I don't know if it'll happen this year, but I'd like to get the following...

-Complete my early 90's basketball insert collection. 92/93 Beam Team set, 92/93 Magics All Rookies, 92 hoops Draft redemption.

Start chipping away at 93/94 and 94/95 Finest refractor sets. Am I crazy? I'd like to piece those together some day. And maybe find some more affordable boxes from those years.

-Boxes to buy. 1992 Bowman (never bought one). 84 Donruss I've never cracked open. But hard to justify $200 or $230 for one. 93 SP baseball would also like to crack.

gemint · January 25, 2013 5:21AM

I'm looking for an unopened cello with a Hank Aaron RC on the front and a Roberto Clemente RC showing on the back. Can anyone refer me to someone who has one of these?

cpamike · January 25, 2013 5:40AM

I've got some bad news for you gemint.

Anyone have a 78 cello with Munson on top? Need one of those....

TNP777 · January 25, 2013 5:54AM

I'm thinking about starting a back variation subset for one of the T206 Brooklyn Superbas. I've got it narrowed down to five different players, each of whom have at least 16 and as many as 19 confirmed back variations.

Here are the players I'm considering:

Al Burch fielding (18 confirmed backs), Tim Jordan batting (18), Harry McIntyre Brooklyn/Chicago (16), Nap Rucker throwing (19), Kaiser Wilhelm with bat (16)

llafoe · January 25, 2013 6:07AM

Do any of the Wonderbras have 15 different brands?

sayheykid54 · January 25, 2013 6:39AM

I need to cut back on my card/memorabilia collecting for the next 6 months or so.

I recently commissioned a larger Graig Kreindler painting.

mattinglymint23 · January 25, 2013 7:01AM

i am in between but here are some decisions i need to make:
Buy
1) continue with full 75T psa8/9 set or finsih out wiht full subsets liek HOFers, Stars, Yankees, Mets
2) Continue with full 71T psa7/8/9 or just subsets like HOFers, Yanks, Mets
3) Yanks and Mets team cards PSA 8/9
4) Player sets, Jeter, Mattingly, Munson
5) finish some raw 80's/90's sets like 86TBB and 86TFB and 93 Bowman BB
6) continue to close out 56TBB yanks/dodgers and giants in psa7 or 8 or clean raw
Sell
1) Partial mid grade bowman 48 BB set
2) partial sets and lots of 71T/75T and others 70's that can use a new home
3) liquidate or complete and store moder sets from 2012 to give to my son and nephew hobby starters.

I heard Manti T'eo's dead fake girlfriend's brother has a PSA 11 he is looking to part with.

Redglobe · January 25, 2013 7:45AM

Ernie Banks rookie in a 6 or 7 holder........still have to save

wrestlingcardking · January 25, 2013 7:57AM

Forget about collecting, I do not want to hear about someone being catfished....this thread certainly sounds like a CU version.

cardgirl · January 25, 2013 3:51PM

Thanks llafoe! xoxoxo

JasonM32 · January 25, 2013 5:23PM

My White Whale for 2013 is a Kobe Bryant 1996 E-X2000 #30 graded PSA 10. It's the last card I need for my Kobe PSA 10 rookie set. It will probably take me the whole year to save up for that one. lol

Some other cards I'm hoping to add in 2013 are...

Larry Bird 1992 Upper Deck #33 PSA 10
Steve Nash 1996 Topps Chrome #182 PSA 10
Lebron James 2003 Bowman Chrome #123

This is why this forum doesn't get the traffic that it should. You mention a player that you collect and some unfunny smart-ass has to type some dumb BS like you just did. It happens time and time again. Almost every time I post something here I end up regretting it. If the moderators were smart (if they even exist) they would ban people for this kind of crap. There are plenty of forums on the internet where you can go be a troll. Why the #*@& can't we keep the discussions here centered around the cards? Keep your negative opinions of athletes and your childish mockery to yourself.

1985fan · January 26, 2013 1:29PM

I'd love to finally get my 1985 topps football set done, down to about 60, but some just never ever seem to come up for sale. Dumb black borders.

cardgirl · January 26, 2013 3:28PM

Sweet goals boys

I'm so glad I am not the only forum member who notices that crap going on. I wish something could be done about it.

billwaltonsbeard · January 26, 2013 10:07PM

I think this year I'm gonna step away from most of my normal card collecting activity and focus on one or maybe two sets.

I also plan on spending more time with my boys at the beach or at my place, but always shirtless

I wish we could do something about people who sell trimmed and marked cards. And people who bid on their own auctions.

bobbyw8469 · January 27, 2013 6:07AM

<< I wish we could do something about people who sell trimmed and marked cards. And people who bid on their own auctions. >>

I wish we could do something about people who crack the same card over and over in hopes of a better grade. And people who sell graded baseball cards.

So, we'd still be doing something about you.

rajah424 · January 27, 2013 6:39AM

Come on bobby the suspense is killing us. What's your big hobby news, did you accidently bid on one of your own cards?

bobbyw8469 · January 27, 2013 7:59AM

<< So, we'd still be doing something about you. >>

LMFAO!! You so funny! Calling me a card trimmer would be like calling me out because I am white.....get a clue.

Agreed. If only there was a stickied and locked thread at the top of the page. It could say Forum Rules or something like that. Offenders would be either banned or given timeouts to remind them that there are right and wrong ways to conduct themselves here.

If only.

Edit: I answered this thread once, but I have another goal to add - figure out a way to make it to Chicago in late July. I hear there's a good mall show going on then.

70ToppsFanatic · January 27, 2013 11:50AM

Hoping to finish off the LL, LCS, WS and AS subsets in my 1970 Topps registry set upgrade project and
pick up a few more upgrades.

I can only imagine what your post read before you edited. It's just that I have this gut feeling... it might have added you to the (should be banned) list.

LMFAO, Bobby plays the racist card.
