Hello all,
Hope all is well with everyone.
I stumbled across these boards by accident, BUT I'm glad I did as there is definately a sense of community here (more so then on other forums!).
Ok, a quick introduction (feels like first day of prep)
My name is Vince and I reside here in Melbourne.
Collected basketball cards heavily during the early 90's and stopped late 94-95. Not sure why I stopped, could be due to puberty or simply I ran out of money!!
All I remember is that late 90's I got really hooked onto the WWF/WWE due to Stone Cold's feud with McMahon!! (YES! I'm over it now)
I got back into the hobby this past May as I was packing up to move into my a new place, I found a box of shoes (no not shoes ladies) I mean a few shoe boxes of cards! Going through them I started to remember the good old days of buying packs and pulling cards of various players I followed. Even base card of my fav. players (no inserts) I was still in awe of just pulling them.
How the Hobby has changed since I left it. It's simply amazing on the amount of different types of cards there are now. When I first heard about Game Used cards, I was thinking "cards that players had on them during games!", but quickly I learnt that wasn't the case #-o . Also what happened to the good old days of walking into your local Target and Kmart stores to buy basketball cards!
Anyway, I am a big Miami Heat fan and collect Dwyane Wade cards (I'm sure that was already obvious).
I also enjoy breaking boxes and sure to have cards (old & new) that would be up for trade with anyone that's interested.
Hope to get to know as many of the board members as possible.
Thank you for viewing!
Best regards,
Vince
