There was a trading card thread a while back, but we never saw one measly picture. It has come to my attention that @wllm , @JT13 , and others may be sitting on gold mines that they should be selling to fund hunts, save the earth, and whatnot.
When my boys were a little younger we liked to trade some cards, which was mostly an excuse to give them mine and talk about old players.
I never had much special…quite a few mid 90’s Jordans, a pile of Jeters, pages and pages of Chipper Jones’, steroid era home run hitters, some Kobe RC’s etc. Unfortunately as a kid I sunk my hopes, dreams, and 10 year old birthday money on Shawn Kemp memorabilia. He was Zion + Ja three decades ago, but too many wild nights and milkshakes took their hefty toll on his career.
I was the type of kid who liked to take cards out, hold them, trade with friends, etc., which doesn’t lend itself to maintaining things in mint condition. One reason that I like euro mounted big game.
So…let’s see a favorite card or two (or stash) that makes you feel like a kid again when you pick it up. @Randy11 you’ve got to have a few great cards of The Kid from yesteryear.
Does not have to be sports, though I’m not promising you Magic and Pokémon collectors won’t be judged harshly by the jocks. Their loss when your cartoon rabid squirrel or whatever is worth a cool $1K.
These were one of the more interesting base card sets from the day IMO, metal, a decent size stack weighs about a pound.

This is probably the highest monetary value card I have, though I’ve never been a Kobe guy. I’d gladly sell it if it wasn’t such a pain to get stuff graded.
