    Do you collect baseball cards?
    Some say collecting cards is for 12-18 year olds.

    I havent bought a pack of cards in what feels like forever. I stopped collecting in my early 20's. Got all of my memorabilia boxed up in the garage. Probably rat food by now.

    So are there any grown men who collect cards here?

      Justin how old are you? How much do you spend on cards per month? Do you buy packs or singles?

        I am 28.

        I buy both. I buy boxes as well. Hobby exclusive stuff. I probably spend around 600 a month. It's like the lottery for me.

          I use to collect, but I stopped around 22-23, no real reason I stopped. I buy a pack every once in a blue moon.

                  JJ. That's false information.

                  JJ. There is a good market for cards but you have to spend money to get the good stuff.

                  JJ. I just sold a kawhi Leonard rookie patch auto redemption on eBay for 360.

                  JJ. Making love to a transgender is still gay.

                              Those sell really well on eBay.

                                                          Gum? Didn't they stop inserting stale gum into packs like 20 years ago?

                                                              I am 43 and i collect baseball and football cards. I buy almost daily. I dont sell anything, so it is getting a bit outta control. I am am master set collector of 1980 -91 baseball.. everything.. errors, mini, traded, tiffany, inserts,.. everything.. and i collect pro set anything.. and there is a crap load of pro set.. and the errors! omfg!! was pleased to pretty much complete my 1989 pro set master set.. for those that collect pro set, this one is hard to do because of the D variations (employee only cards).. but i got everything and it is now stored away..

                                                              now why would i do it? I stopped gambling a few years back (I was an avid poster for 2 years here and even got JJ Gold to mention me in a vidoe one time.. i know he forgot thought , so i found another hobby..

                                                              good luck with your bets fellas! it was good to post here again !!

                                                                  I still have some baseball cards along with football and very few basketball. Not a big time collector but I did started collecting at an early age. I bought cards on and off, mostly packs when I was younger and then bought singles but eventually stopped buying completely in early 20's. I feel the value of cards has gone down and the autographs and authentic patches that used to WOW you are worth commons nowadays. Invest in gold better!
