Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

How many of you actually watch the sports you collect?

I am currently collecting baseball cards...not because i particularly like the sport, but because i like to find new and rare cards...anyone else share my weird passion?

    I love watching the NFL the best but there is nothing like playoff baseball IMO

    I only watch NFL football... and I only collect football.

    I know what you are saying about the wealth of baseball items though... so many cool baseball cards from pre-war to modern... no comparison to the other sports.

  • from april till september if there is a game on (and with NESN, there usually is) ill have it on in the background. Not a Sox fan, but I enjoy the broadcasts/announcers they do a great job. I'll catch some games at Fenway and if I travel to other cities ill try to see the Indians image I also play softball....and pretend im Jim Thome (alas, i'm a dead pull hitter too)

    Die Hard Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots fan (yes, it's been in that order for my whole life). I really enjoy hockey but wouldn't call myself a Bruin Die Hard. I like college football and watch a ton of it but never liked Boston College. I'm also a college basketball junkie. I can watch Wake Forest play Clemson or Pepperdine play Gonzaga in December and be the happiest guy around.

    Football is the only sport I watch the entire season. Every game from Thursday to Monday.
    Basketball I watch the playoffs and the finals.
    Baseball the world series.
    College Basketball I watch March Madness.
    Golf and Nascar every Sunday.
    I watch sports every chance I get.

    But when it comes down to it, I collect football and can't get enough of the game.

    It has alot to do with growing up in Buffalo and we had no pro basball in the 60's.
    I enjoyed hockey at that time but have lost interest over the years.

    I watch baseball and college football religiously, I collect cards and memorabilia from both.

    NFL, NHL, NBA, PGA, NASCAR, and all other sports I enjoy, but I watch less frequently and collect whenever it strikes my fancy.
