I was a pretty heavy collector in junior high and look back at it all with laughs now. Who knows where all my cards are, and who cares.
But I am nostalgic for just how awesome it was to open a pac and get an error card, or one of the limited edition cards. The childhood version of winning the lottery I guess.

I have all mine, all Topps (none of that Upper Deck shite!). While I was away at school my dad picked up on them again. I still sift around for Nolan Ryan cards while my dad has taken on to collecting all the various Ichiro cards.
- I have boxes and boxes, and plenty of binders full. Lots from the '80s too that I got in Cooperstown as a kid.ismith
- topps aren't worth nearly as much as the new brands.
upper deck, donruss, fleerdirtydesign - the new brands are shit and don't stand up. over time they're not nearly as valuableismith
- also they don't have a license with MLB any more which has a major effect on all new cardsismith
- Topps is currently the only licensed producer for '10 active players.ismith

i have a lot of the late 70's team shots cards.. we always hated those cards.. sometime we used to tape a few of them to a string and apply that to a bottle rocket and launch them over the neighbors yard and watch em explode ..

I had thousands. Back in elementary and early middle school I used to pour over them and look up the good ones in the Beckett price guide every month. Unfortunately they were all stolen in 2006 when my Dad's house was robbed.
For my birthday last year I asked my Dad to buy me the 1 card I really miss; the same one he got me for my birthday when I was around 10:
- ah man thats when the padres were awesome. glad they're doing good this year.pavlov
