We delve into the world of baseball in my cosmos of regret. Here are some of my favorites that I sold on e-bay, I got this card as a surprise insert in an Upper Deck tin. It had their version of "Old Judge" cards in it. Also got some nice autographs and memorabilia cards in the tin but this one stands out as the first Playball card I ever owned. Rookie cards of 2 future Hall-of-famers. I collected the heck out of this set as exhibited by all of the gold parallels I have listed on my trade page. I took a chance on some packs of Royal Rookies just in the hope of getting this card and then I sold it. Why?!?!?!? I still have the regular card. I'm a sucker for mullti-sport sets and it was nice to own a bat piece from the last .400 hitter. What a great card. It's even numbered 60/60 while Mr. Cub wishes Topps a Happy 60th. Practically perfect. I had no idea who Trout ...
Yes. Hockey. I collect everything. My dad grew up a Red Wings fan so I inherited the fandom. This is just pretty. Gold, on-card autos just pop. Bought one box of Upper Deck series 1 that year and lucked out. Needing money made us sell a card of our favorite paper from our local team. When we used to have a local team. I paid some top dollar for some UD Black boxes but love the set.
As with the basketball cards there are some football cards I wish I still had: I bought a whole box of Bowman a few years ago and got this. I think I sold this for what I had paid for the whole box. I've always like these mini-helmet cards. It's a sticker autograph but you gotta love Deacon Jones. Not a huge fan of this Greats of the Game design but love the autos. Also had a Staubach and a Lott. Might be the best card I ever pulled from a pack.
Everyone once in a while I would sell cards on E-Bay to get come quick money. I found the DVDs that I had saved the images on. Here's some of my favorite NBA cards I let go of. I hate the Celtics and hate Ohio State and still, somehow, love Havlicek. An on-card auto of a Hall-of-Famer is always nice. Greats of the Game is one of my all-time faves across all of the sports that used this design. Hated to let go of a Michigan player but..... This was a weird multi-sport set from Press Pass that I only bought one box of. This is the best card I got. I think this was the first basketball autograph I ever got so it held a sentimental place in my collection.
Memorial Day weekend revolves around auto racing for me. Sunday is the greatest single day of the year with Monaco, the Indy 500 and the Nascar race rounding out the weekend. Here are some of my favorite racing cards that represent all of these series. 1992 Grid Formula One - A rookie card of the most successful F1 driver ever. 2008 Press Pass insert - Montoya was successful in all 3 series. 2006 Topps A&G mini - The only woman to win a race in F1, Indy Racing or NASCAR.
I'm happy to say that I am old enough to have seen Star Wars when it came out in 1977. If only I had kept my Star Wars toys in their original packaging..... I passively collect Star Wars cards. Here are a few of my favorites. And now I will play Star Wars online. Good night!
