    Hi antonio,

    You seem to ask the same question over and over again




    +1





    People around here will be glad to help you out, but they expect you to do a little bit of research yourself. Not saying that you aren't, but use the board wisely.



    If there's a place to find "bargain vintage cards for investment", someone has probably already found it and they probably don't want to give up their information.



    A sincere best of luck to you as you enter into the hobby.

    Antonio, You have started so many threads that are very similar, and now people are wondering if you are actually a former board member just trying to mess with us.

    I think you will get more help if don't keep starting new threads with almost the exact same questions.

    sorry. I am just a caveman and new to the ways of your strange world. Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see these little men trapped in a small cardboard prison makes me want to run into the hills.

    This has been painful to watch from the sidelines. Clearly some clown created "Antonio Blanco" for whatever reason. Obvious from the goofy icon, the ridiculous use of the sig line, and what seems to be someone going out of their way to sound ignorant in their speech.

    I agree. Not to mention I have been collecting for 40 years and just found this board a few years ago, but a novice collector just starting out, with kids to out through college and little funds, jumps on here first and starts 5 of the exact same threads on the same day? Does not add up in my book. Plus sends out PM's to members asking the exact same thing...

    Antonio blanco,

    I've been trying to follow your threads and questions. Card collecting is a hobby to mostly everyone commenting on this forum.

    A select few hobbyists are able to swing a nice profit flipping and buying & selling on ebay or wherever. I've ebayed several times throughout the years. It's not easy selling for a profit. Selling/paypal/shipping fees kill any profits quickly.

    I've been around cards for 35 years.
    Again, it's a HOBBY. I do it because I love it.
    It's taken me 8 years to establish my core collection of about 115 HOF cards.

    Follow my drift?
    If you're not in it for the passion of it, it's a costly venture. You gotta be prepared to lose $$$$$ and still love it!

    Hope that helps.
