Hi, just thought would start a anything chat about collecting cards any thoughts, tips, crazy ideas anything welcome here.
I have been collecting since kid at school I guess without really knowing it, just loved trading at school playing closet to wall wins all cards, flights see who could fly there card furthest again winner takes all, tips throw cards till someone’s lands on top of other and win all cards. Keeping your swaps pile seperate from your flick cards. Was awesome that was primary school and early high school, that’ was late 70s early 80s for me. Once at high school we also played closet to wall but the cards turned into 20 cent pieces, a couple of wins and was good day at tuck shop lol. Plus more money to buy more cards haha.
stopped collecting when left school work world took over, anyway blah, blah, blah, down the road like 30years later did 16 years army got medical discharge now retired so started collecting again last 7 years playing catch-up lol. But have done quite well happy with collection I have of rugby league and non sport also folders/sets etc. I have resolved myself to not getting some chase cards as prices are just insane and have postponed chasing them, I still look bargains do come up now and again, but completing sets, finding upgrade cards etc is more satisfying I find at moment.
being a kid in 80s the football was awesome dragons actually had some really good players and we did good, I remember going to mid week comp amco, pananasic, etc etc cup games was awesome my mate mad broncos supporter we used to beat a jersey every time dragons played broncos hence to say during 90s I had to buy him a couple from grand finals. But each time we will buy other team jerseys not just our team, I have a sharks, penrith, I was actually born at Nepean hospital year they joined comp so yes I should go for them but no dragons, do have soft spot for them as u would.
but collecting cards brings great memories home, and I really enjoy looking through folders at cards, guess us collectors are a crazy breed, lol.
anyway could go forever, would love anybody’s thoughts, etc, why, how when anything about trading that I might not know,
cheers. Craig.
