clydedrexler Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 About the legendary Inscriptions, they sure are rare cards. No wonder the person I wanted to trade with is looking for these cards but well, its ok that's what the hobby is all about right? The thrill of acquiring the cards that you really want and like.

revi Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ^^ Even though at times, you get suckered into buying cards that were selling cheap and you thought they were expensive.. That is the sucky thing about the hobby, clyde.. Masyadong madaming smackers na ginawang negosyo ang card hobby.. Its not wrong to make an extra buck or two and buy more cards kaso yung lokohin mo na ang kapwa mo, that is wrong.. --- Well, my internet connection speed with PLDT just got very slow today, and it only became fast again this hour.. Due to this I lost in a lot of items in the bay.. One is an Adam Morrison Sweet Shot Rookie #d to 99.. 12.51 dollars lang nag-end!!! ARRRH.. This card usually sells for $40-45.. But then again, hindi kaya pababa na talaga ang hype ni Morrison.. dahil he has been inconsistent in all of his games.. IMO, he is not the player you would want to build your team around and definitely, not All-Star caliber.. Will post some of my pick-ups from e-bay tomorrow.. That is if my internet connection do not get distorted again.. :cry: Quote Link to comment

clydedrexler Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 you're right Revi. Problem is collectors are too busy and there's not much cards to get around with. So in a sense these "runners" or "smackers" you call them does the job for the collectors who can't find time looking for cards. At least for these smackers or smuckers they even go around the country trading and buying and selling cards that ends up in the hands of collectors. Th sad part if of course is the skyrocketing of the prices of the cards because they have to earn from the sales. I hope there will be a better way. So maybe we should start intiating a call to all collectors out there who wants to share and trade their collections. it would be good to find a good place where hobbyist and collectors can congregate and exchange cards, infos and the like. What do you think? It will be good for the NBA card hobby in the Philippines! Besides Galleria is just too far away from me although I do go there once in a while. Quote Link to comment
psa10 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hello, nice to see the hobby is thriving here. Have been into bball cards starting 1995 but had to stop a few years back. I still visit the shops and buy a little here and there. Mostly, I'm just into collecting sets. There are a lot of thrash cards for sale out there and it just fulfills me to be able to make a set at the least possible amount. At least la rin ako kahati sa mga runners ng inserts. I'm satisfied with this version in the hobby. If there are other SET collectors out there, please PM me and maybe we can swap cards. :cool: Quote Link to comment

Ngayon puros TOYCON na lang wala ng Sports Cards Convention dito.. Upper Deck PI kasi closed shop eh.. Not all "smackers" are after big time sales.. I have my own sets of runners for my hobby that I meet once in a while and this includes bigmawsy.. But meron kasing "smackers" na nanloloko na eh.. Yung tipong sasabihin sa iyo puros kasinungalingan.. Going back, the hobby before was better IMO.. There were more collectors than smackers as compared today.. I got tired of going to Galleria every Saturday coz I see the same faces and see the same stuff.. Usually, nowadays, they just text me if they have new Duncan stuff.. And we meet somewhere.. Atsaka rather than talk to the smackers, I just play badminton on Saturdays.. A lot of people in the hobby kasi nowadays are first and foremost businessmen.. When it comes to the hobby, I am more of a collector than a businessman.. Its not the love for the hobby anymore but the love for a few bucks of earnings.. No one really shares a lot of ideas once your in Galleria.. Its all about, ito ang presyo nito, trade ko sa ganito.. Wala yung, si Diogu kaya gagamitin sa Indiana? Ganda ng pinapakita ngayon ng Utah ano? Basta ako love for the game and the hobby.. Some do not even watch basketball.. I talked to one smacker and he is saying that Bargnani is a flop.. Sabi ko have you watched a lot of NBA lately? Morrison is inconsistent, Tyrus Thomas and Sefolosha are not being used by the Bulls, Rudy Gay has been inconsistent.. Brandon Roy and Bargnani are two of the most consistent rookies in this batch I said.. Sabi niya yun daw ay kung tatagal si Bargnani sa League.. Sabi ko bakit hindi tatagal si Bargnani dahil ba payat siya.. When Dirk came into the League, he was only playing 10-15 mins and he always was a disappointment.. He was also a skinny kid.. Look at Bargnani, he has shown that he can score from the trey and slash at an early stage of his NBA career.. IMO, Bargnani's rookie year is better vis-a-vis than Dirk's rookie year.. Haay Naku!!! Sabi ko sa sarili ko, are these people NBA fans? or what? :grr: He can't even give me the reason why Bargnani would not make it in the L.. Gut feel lang daw.. Sus!!! Sino siya Madam Auring? :grr: Your idea would be good.. Sana lang wag naman putaktehin ng mga smackers yung convention.. Dati kasi madami ang kolektor na pumupunta sa ganito eh.. Ngayon, baka puros same faces lang ang makita natin.. <_< Quote Link to comment
clydedrexler Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 ya I agree. YOur thought on a convention is really nice actually I was thinking small time first hehehe. I mean would't it be nice if there's a place that we can really promote and encourage all the collectors to come and visit? I mean that would be great. I share your sentiments. Actually I stopped many years back because of the lack of cards in the circulation. And basically the same people going to the same places and usually these are "runners." I beleive that there are many collectors out there and collectors to e who would want to visit such a place--friendly and not be ripped off by some smuckers or something. We need to maybe resotre some respect and integrity in the hobby. I mean its should be fun and worthwhile! So maybe if we could just get more people who loves the hobby to visit a place. i mean it can still be robinson galleria or maybe some place else. I mean I have not seen much Drexler cards in over a month! heheheAnyone who has autographs, Jerseys or patches of CLyde Drexler please PM me. thanks Quote Link to comment

breakaway1 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 any guys seeling pierce cards .?? Quote Link to comment
clydedrexler Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 sorry breakaway got no pierce cards. Just want to let everyone know that I'm looking for CLyde Drexler autographs, Jerseys and PAtches. Thanks Quote Link to comment
revi Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Its funny how MTC peeps are now flocking this thread.. Dati rati si kupalking, DShock and dreamshocker lang ang kausap ko dito.. Guess this thread was able to rekindle the sleeping fire in some folks to start collecting again.. :cool: Just bought the new Beckett (Yao Ming cover).. Deron Williams' rookie cards have had considerable increases.. Also Andrew Bynum, Monta Ellis, Dorrel Wright and Carlos Boozer's RC are on the watch list.. I think Dorrel Wright's won't continue to increase.. Monta Ellis, Carlos Boozer and DWill are very hot in the NBA and this might just translate to more price increases in the coming months.. Prices of some cards of JJ Redick are slowly decreasing while Brandon Roy's cards are slowly being noticed.. :cool: Paul Pierce? I have several.. But not really something to salivate about.. This is part of my rookie card and autograph collection.. I scanned some of the best ones for your viewing pleasure.. But these are not for sale nor for trade.. 1) UD Encore Rookie Encore Gold #d to 1000 - $15-20 (Rookie Insert)2) SP Top Prospects Autograph (Rookie) - $203) SP Top Prospects Destination Stardom - $10-15 (Rookie Insert)4) SP Signature 05-06 Scripts for Success Auto #d 200 - $155) EX RC6) UD Ionix RC7) UD Black Diamond RC8) Fleer Ultra Here are the scans............

revi Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 @breakaway1: I have this Paul Pierece jersey card for sale or for trade if you need it.. This is 03-04 Fleer Focus Shirtified #d 250.. The price is not listed in the new monthly Beckett.. I would assume that it might be valued at $12 HI.. Sorry, but I am not selling or trading my other Paul Pierce cards coz I also collect rookie cards, autographs and I have several inserts for my player collections.. Just PM me if you want this card..
