I'm pulling for you to win the lotto someday, your story left a lump in my throat.Naw, I never got into that. I know I lost tons of money. I'd spend a couple hundred in a weekend, easy.
650 might have covered a month or two, maybe.

Paid $7.00 for a large plastic bag full of the cards. Don't normally buy cards at thrift shops, usually nothing but overproduced late 80's to 90's (which I have multiples of). When I saw card designs I didn't recognize from sight, I said why not. When I pulled that 1973 Clemente I near sh*t my pants. Pulled a lot of 1960 Topps commons as well.

When I was a kid me and my dad attended one of these card shows every other weekend. We usually bought a couple of packs every week, baseball, football, basketball. I remember buying Post cereals, Mother's Cookies, Duracell batteries, Hostess cupcakes just for the free promotional Ken Griffey Jr. cards.
I was obsessed, I also collected sports magazines, news papers, Starting Lineups, Headliners. I wrote letters to teams to get free stickers, cards, posters, schedules, etc.
I actually still have all of it buried away in my closet at home. One day when I'm not so lazy I might try to go through and organize everything.

Same here.
Thank you man. But I didn't mean to depress anyone. Was just talkin about how much I used to spend on the hobby. Really my biggest regret is not having a photo of my entire collection in it's entirety. I think I have some photos of pieces here and there somewhere, but not one of the entire collection in one room, organized. I wish I had done that.

I did that with the Cubs once to try and get Kerry Wood's autograph. They mailed me back an envelop full of some really cool stuff, remember a team picture or something, I gotta look for it. No Kerry Wood autograph, but I didn't even care. I was just shocked they wrote back

I looked into selling my cards a few years ago. They all lost so much value that I would rather just hold onto them. Some great pics. All my cards are packed away, I wish I could take pics.
Randy Moss Topps Chrome rookie
Kobe Bryant Fleer rookie
Vince Carter Skybox or something like that
the eMotion basketball cards spent a lot on those.
I sent my Deion Sanders rookie card to get signed. Don't know if the signature was real or not but he signed the plastic sleeve it was in

Out of all the teams I wrote, I received one autograph, an Elton Brand signed photo of Benny the Bull.
