I buy Topps more often but do like Panini to add variety. Of the Panini products I like Prizm better than Don Russ. For my PC I definitely buy Panini along with Topps as well as some other brands as well.

I’ve been only sports since I got back into collecting in 2022 but in the last few weeks the Pokemon bug has bitten. A young friend collects them and was showing me his collection so I started looking at them online and ordered a few indivudual ones on eBay. And now I’ve ordered my first retail packs.
For me it’s fun to learn something new. And it’s fun to see the simliarities to collecting sports cards. Pokemon appeals to me for the art and big variety of characters.

Whoa!! But lots of fun!!

HOFers are definitely worth collecting. Nice!

Nice! This hobby fits right into what you’re teaching kids. Every aspect!
I taught high school English for many years.

This is a very cool card. What do you teach?

Black goes great with both team uniforms

Smart to be choosing the cards you want in black. I can really struggle with choosing cards for grading!

Cool! I think people tend toward collecting players who play certain positions. Quarterbacks and running backs in football of course but other positions too.
When I really think about it the player’s personality is a big factor for me—probably the biggest (along with being really good at the sport)
I also tend to choose to collect players who grew up somewhere near or kinda near me.

I’m one who does think mistakes can be cool. With cards…and in life. Sometimes oops turn out really well!

If they could come back and win the whole thing those cards might really hold value over time. I’m rooting for that to happen!

I sent 2 to Degree and should get them back sometime in July. I’m really interested to see how they grade. One is an Acuña so might ultimately have more value. I’ll sell my Acuñas quicker than I will the Strider and Harris cards which are more meaningful to me

I was pleasantly surprised when I came across some of my old cards from the 1990s. Nothing worth anything but it was fun to see what I’d gotten back then. I’m much more into it now though. Probably because I have more time AND money

I had to zoom on the Sandlot one because it was so different and I didn’t recognize it. It’s a cool card! It’s kind of like the Garbage Pail Kids ones I posted yesterday. Sometimes it’s fun to venture out of the usual card types. I was so surprised when I just happened to see there were Garbage Pail Kids cards of baseball players

How about favorite players? Current ones or HOFers are a mix of everyone? Did you have a big favorite when you were a kid? That’s often who people like to collect.
