How does your collection break down ?

pmcollectour · March 11, 2012 4:33AM

Over on the precious metals forum we like to share how our metals break down percentage wise.
Some have 50% silver and 50% gold. Some have 50% gold, and the other 50% in silver, platinum, and palladium. We sometimes
share not the amount our metals are worth, but how we like to collect our metals.

So my question is how does your collection break down in sportscards ?

Is it 50% baseball, 25% football, 10% basketball, and 15% hockey and golf ?

Also, what percentage is graded as opposed to raw?

mcolney1 · March 11, 2012 4:40AM

Football 40, Baseball 30, Hockey 15, Basketball 15.

10 percent graded - HOF rookies and key cards.

ThoseBackPages · March 11, 2012 4:41AM

95% baseball

99% graded

epatmythes · March 11, 2012 4:43AM

40% Baseball, 40% Football, 19.9% Basketball, 0.1% Hockey

Yes, I own exactly 1 Hockey card that I claim to be part of my "collection"

Sean1125 · March 11, 2012 4:43AM

Personal collection is all over the place... No idea percent wise probably 80% peyton manning and 20% other anything.

nightcrawler · March 11, 2012 4:51AM

Hockey 55%
Football 25%
Baseball 7%
Basketball 3%
Misc. 10%

itzagoner · March 11, 2012 4:58AM

my collection broke down when i told it i was leaving it for another collection.

ba-dump-dump

ok, ok. 92% Baseball, 4% Basketball, 3% Football, and then 1% guys on skates and other weird stuff.

give or take. roughly speaking. ballpark figures. in the neighborhood.

i'd better go check to be sure.

WalterSobchak · March 11, 2012 4:58AM

99% baseball, 0.99% football, 0.01% basketball*.

75% raw, 25% graded.

*I have one raw '92-'93 Upper Deck Jordan base card, and one raw '92-'93 Fleer Ultra Shaq "All Rookie Series" insert. Others may have more impressive basketball card collections than mine, but I have to say, these are pretty nice!

Edited to add: If anyone is interested in purchasing my entire basketball card collection, I'm open to discussion. Shoot me a PM.

vladguerrero · March 11, 2012 5:02AM

my collection breaks down as 100% awesome.

elsnorto · March 11, 2012 5:09AM

100% football.

I would guess graded comprises around 60% (most of my pre-1970 sets) with the rest mostly being raw modern sets.

I'm curious what TPG percentages people have in their personal collection as well... mine is 100% PSA currently.

<< <i>I'm curious what TPG percentages people have in their personal collection as well... >>

I'm at roughly 98% PSA, 2% BGS/SGC.

Stone193 · March 11, 2012 5:19AM

That's a good question.

I have absolutely no idea - over the years I've covered the universe.

mlbfan2 · March 11, 2012 5:25AM

My collection gives 110%.

Probably less than 10% of my collection is slabbed even though I have a few complete sets in PSA holders...

I knew you collected baseball as well, but didn't know you collected that heavily. Curious what baseball sets you have or are working on given we have such similar taste with football?

I've got a really nice run of raw completed sets from the '50s through the 70's. Had a few sets I worked on many years back in PSA including 1949 and 1951 Bowman and 1970 Baseball. I've really been lax on my baseball over the past 6-8 years aside from a dabbling in a few rookie prospects every year. I would say that virtually 90% of my collecting over the past 5 years has been football with about 5% each to hockey and baseball with regard to volume and dollars spent...

gemint · March 11, 2012 6:32AM

90% baseball, 9.5% football, 0.5% basketball, 0% hockey. I'd say about 20% is graded.

bobsbbcards · March 11, 2012 6:47AM

YogiBerraFan · March 11, 2012 7:02AM

As far as cards go 97% baseball, 2% other sports, & 1% non-sports.

Brick · March 11, 2012 7:08AM

less than .5% graded. Of those about 90% baseball, 9% football, 1% basketball.
Of raw about 50% unopened evenly divided between baseball, football and basketball. Just a few boxes of hockey, Nascar and non sports. Raw opened about the same ratio.

Ok, I'll bite... what is the football card and why did it alone make the cut?

Foo3112 · March 11, 2012 9:19AM

Great thread. 100% Baseball though. I tried the football thing back in around 91 but I didnt have the passion that I did with Baseball cards. Stopped collecting back in around 93-94 and started again about 10 months ago - sticking with Baseball.

NVbaseball · March 11, 2012 9:38AM

99% stuff I have no use for shoved into a closet

pit · March 11, 2012 11:19AM

100% Football.
PSA,SGC,BVG graded stuff, and probably 10% raw.

mrpaseo · March 11, 2012 2:38PM

I have no idea what I have... All I know is a butt load of ungraded cards from before 1992 (The year I entered the Army). Havn't really looked at them since. I know I have a few random hockey cards, I wouldn't know what to look for so there they sit...

I would like to own a graded card someday.

I have low goals...lol,
Ray

melvin289 · March 11, 2012 2:52PM

I have 3 graded cards the rest is stuff I like, mostly baseball, some Nascar, some hockey, some basketball, and some football. I have not bought a card other than the 3 graded cards and a few items off the BST since 1990.

Toro · March 11, 2012 3:38PM

40 percent sports cards, 30 percent toys, 20 percent shoes, 10 percent other stuff.

Jerry Rice RC. Looks pretty good after that auction the other night

MBMiller25 · March 11, 2012 9:10PM

90% baseball, 8% football, 2% basketball

TJMAC · March 11, 2012 11:40PM

My collection breaks down as follows:

68% Baseball
27% Football
03% Hockey
02% Basketball

I have Topps base baseball sets from 1976-2007, but I am not going to factor those. The above breakdown is based on graded cards which is virtually all my collection.

How does your collection break down ?
