Basketball Finds

Working at home I've been using my lack of commute time to go through old boxes and see what I want to keep an what I will give to someone.

 I found my old basketball stash and found some nice cards.

 Here are the top ones:

This is a 1997-98 Metal Championship cards.  The regular Metal series card has skyrocketed.  This one has gone up also since The Last Dance documentary has been airing on ESPN (I have NOT been watching it.)  I pulled a couple of other Jordan's out also but did not scan them.

A 2007-2008 Topps Gold Parallel Lebron.  It does have some wear issues but this is a keeper for me so no worries.
2014 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions Giannis (I am not typing the last name!)
I remembered I had this card someone and thougt it was my only Giannis but I stumbled upon this:

2014-15 Panini Prizm Prizm Parallel.  It's shiny!  This is by far my most valuable basketball card.

 That is it for my Giannis collection.

 I also found 2 2009 Press Pass Fusion Steph Curry cards that represent my only ones of him.

 Not bad for digging around.

    Jordan and Kobe have really inspired me to go and dig out my basketball cards. Some of the Jordans are selling for insane amounts. Must be all of the stimulus checks ;D

It's All About George

Welcome back everybody! A friend of mine who asked me why I didn't restart SCAMB so I decided to take the suggestion since he is a professional writer.  I'm not saying this is great literature though. I've been looking for topics for the relaunch and have a few in mind, but to start I wanted to highlight my number one player collection. I've been a George Brett fan since I saw him play at Tiger Stadium in 1980.  He hit a home run and got into a brawl in the game.  I was hooked. Like many collector's I've been going through my cards and other things during all of the extra time I've had at home and came upon two card albums.  I think they came with Topps Attax kits that I bought randomly.  They each have 26 pages so I decided to put my Brett cards in them and discuss each page in an installment. This will be a long term series that will be interspersed with other topics as I find cards I didn't know I had or want to highlight my favorit...

I Think I'm Done

 I'm at the point that I am not feeling the trading card hobby anymore.  It is too much.  The ridiculousness of people fighting over cards at Target or Walmart even when the stores have jacked the prices up and the insane focus on spending money to have everything "slabbed" just has completely turned me off.  I have tried to focus on the vintage cards I've collected the last couple of years and the autographs and memorabilia pieces I have from some of my favorite shows and movies but I no longer have the desire to open a pack of new cards. Maybe someday if I become independently rich I will continue collecting vintage cards to add to my Tigers and Braves collections or buy rare autographs from Star Wars or Games of Thrones or some other pop culture sets but that time is not right now as living paycheck to paycheck does not make that possible. I have away the huge stack of boxes that I had full of cards, probably 200,000 cards, over the summer by putting them out by t...

The Golden Age

I recently purchased boxes of 2013 and 2014 Panini Golden Age. These sets were similar to Upper Deck Goodwin's Champions in that they featured retired players and historical figures.  They also tied in with Panini Americana as far as having memorabilia and autographs from pop culture figures. Each box promised two autos or relics. I had bought boxes when they orginally came out and pulled these a John Belushi shirt card and autographs of Angie Dickenson, Jan Stephenson and John Schneider. Here is what I got from this purchase: 2013 Bob Denver is most famously remembered as Gilligan from Gilligan's Island.  I also have a memorabilia card of him from Donruss Americana. Billy Sunday was a baseball player but is better known as an evangelist.  This card is a short print version as well as a rare white bordered parallel of the base card. I also got an autographed card of former Miami Dolphins running back Jim Kiick that I forgot to scan. 2014 Tatum O'Neal was 10 when she starr...
