This topic is for general sports cards discussion. You can post your latest buys, share your favorite card, etc. in this topic. Okay, to start it off. I just bought a Hines Ward UD Choice 1998 rookie card off of eBay. I generally don't feel comfortable buying any Upper Deck cards with the shape the company has been in these past few years, but considering it was a steal for a dollar or two I couldn't resist. I wanted to buy a rookie card before he retires. When players retire, that's when the demand for their cards seem to go up. So, I got it cheaper before the demand brought the prices up. Supply and demand lessons, yes? Surprisingly, there are a lot of Hines Ward rookie cards on eBay for as low as around $0.99. I question why; he's a definite hall of famer. Here's what I got:

My Brother and I have begun to collect MLB Topps Heritage. I would say I have about 150 of them and that includes a 2008 Bob Gibson Game-Used Pants Card that my brother pulled a month from yesterday. It goes for around $40 on eBay.
Cmt, would you mind PMing me the link to some Hines Ward RCs? I can't find any for that cheap.

I don't have any links. Just search around. Upper Deck cards seem to be going cheaper because of the company's condition.

Okay, here's everything I've gotten on eBay these past few days. [spoiler= SPOILER] mirrorimg.net/im1/jds.jpeg[/spoiler] So... How much money was all this? Around $50, counting shipping. Also, I made a deal with my mother that if she pays $20 of it I will give her my $25 Old Navy gift card I got for Christmas from one of my cousins. She said yes. So, I really only spent $30 for all this. I'm generally the frugal kind of guy who never really spends money, but when I came across a sale at favorite eBay sports card store, I couldn't resist. I think of it like an investment. Take note to the fact that most of the cards I bought are of players that aren't in the hall of fame, but probably will be soon. Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Luis Gonzalez (maybe), etc. Jason Taylor, Julius Peppers, etc.

I received a Wes Matthews rookie patch auto #/720. It's the one in the middle, but it's the "H" from his jersey instead of the "H". Also, this DeMarcus Cousins rookie dual jersey #/299.

I'm planning on buying some thicker toploaders this weekend. I only have the basic regular size ones, so I need bigger ones that thicker cards (jersey cards, etc.) can fit in.

I don't have any that aren't being used. So, I may go ahead and buy more regular sized ones while I am at it.

My Chris Bosh jersey card came in the mail on Thursday. I bought it off of eBay for $2.37 with free shipping. It's a simple 2004-2005 Topps Chrome Chrome-Town Heroes jersey card. Here it is: p4.pimg.in/r8yI.jpg
