1) When did you start collecting?
As a kid in late 1983, was in hospital and the kid in the next bed had an album of Scanlens cricket stickers - so of course I told mum I wanted one too. By the next year it became league footy stickers as well and by 1986 Scanlens stopped the stickers and did cards, we thought the cards were the coolest since we could play flicks - so thats when the "card" collection started.
Started my American card collection on a 1987 trip to the states, still have a pile of 1987 Topps Baseball and Football cards at home. Unfortunately I never knew about, saw or could buy what we now know as the best modern day sports card set - the 86/87 NBA Fleer cards on sale.
NBA collection actually started in 1991 , good old NBA Hoops, Fleer and Skybox. Drifted away from 1997 until ~2008
2) Who do you collect?'
T-Mac, Aussies (Bogut, Mills, Lauren Jackson mainly) and take a shine to the "retro" auto / jersey cards - Gervin, Gilmore, English, Dantley etc
Back in the 1990's Larry Nance - yep the Ayatollah of Slammola the first slam dunk winner and Run TMC's Mitch Richmond
Aussie Major League Baseballers - have at least 1 card of each of the 29 Australian's who have played MLB
NRL Canterbury Bulldogs Cards - commons, inserts and IP Autos.
3) What do you love about Ozcards?
Pretty much everyone here is not simply in it for the cash, Id say most are genuine collectors and willing to help each other out whether via trading or tips.
