Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

First POP. New guy here..

Hi all, like some of you I haven't bought a pack of cards for over 15 years. Bored one day and browsing ebay, nostalgia caught up to me. I sniped an auction and got taken back into the hobby. One day I snagged a psa graded Barry sanders rookie and liked the case so I decided i would get the other cards I've snagged from ebay graded via the collectors club. I'm thankful to this forum as I've browsed for a few months to learn about the process. Overall, the sub was very fun. I was pleased that all cards came back authentic and unaltered as they were all ebay auction wins over the last 3-4 months. Especially the Lemieux cards. The only card that surprised me a little was the Bourque. I must have missed something on it. Anyways...results:

    Welcome! Nice selection of cards.

    On the Bourque you missed a surface wrinkle that the grader caught. A surface wrinkle is a 5 everytime.

    Welcome to the boards. You will find a wealth of knowledge here. Like other others mentioned, I really like your selection of cards. Should be a nice new start to your overall collection. Do you plan on displaying them ? Also, do you collect baseball at all ?

    Thanks guys. I usually just look for rookie cards of players I grew up idolizing. Not huge into baseball except Tigers. Grew up a big Detroit fan (and still am). I did pick up a Alan Trammell rookie recently. I browse around often for tips on buying and whatnot.
