bouncing_boy77 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 hi guys! i used to collect basketball cards and x-men comics way back in college. collecting cards, especially if youre concentrating on a player can be a hit or miss thing. i used to collect penny hardaway cards (rookie, regular and inserts) when he was back in orlando. sad to say, he wasnt able to live up to expectations coz of his injury and everything. as far as comics, the most valuable (i think) that i have would be the fatal attractions crossover within the x-men comics. its when magneto pulls out the adamantium out of wolverine's body. i also have the 300th issue of amazing spiderman.

Why? Its the most true fact that every collector in the sports card hobby should realize.. Penny Hardaway is one of the players whose cards were sooo huge before but just fizzled like nothing when he came out waaaaay short of his hype.. In other words, parang sugal yan or stocks.. To name a few, Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse, Harold Miner, Darius Miles, Lamar Odom.. these players' cards before skyrocketed but due to injuries, sub-par performances night-in and night-out.. collectors just lost interest in them.. There are still Penny, GH33 collectors out there.. But sobrang kakaunti na lang nila.. A lot of collectors either gave up the cards, tinambak sa isang tabi or just plain sold their collection at a lower price.. I collected Dajuan Wagner rookies before.. Diyosko hanggang ngayon injured si Wagner.. :thumbsdownsmiley: Yun nga lang autographed cards of these players are still sought after.. especially the players who rarely sign.. example are Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway.. Grant Hill's autographics (series 1) still books very high in e-bay.. Why the phenomenon you ask? Its because of the fact that there are many autograph seekers out there.. who want to get their hands on a player that had a significant time in the hobby or in the league.. (like yours truly..) Just to share you some of my experiences.. I was lucky enough that since the time I started collecting.. (late 1994).. I never had a certain player to my liking.. So I did not collect Hills or Hardaways or Shaqs.. But at one point, while opening packs I got lucky in finding a jersey card of Tim Duncan (Press Pass Jersey that sold for USD250 at that time).. Then pack per pack after that I got hard to find Tim Duncan inserts.. A friend of mine told me to start collecting Duncan.. So, I said to myself.. Bakit nga ba hindi.. People/collectors at that time were questioning my choice.. Keith Van Horn and Ron Mercer were better hobby players coz they don't play the F/C slot.. He won ROY but still they questioned his hobby impact.. Then championships, MVPs came.. no one questions the stability of Tim Duncan now.. No one collects TD coz mahirap dahil rare na ang mga cards niya.. so mahirap at mahal.. But I have most of them already.. Some I bought for 50Php to P150.00 before and now they can be had for 2000 pesos.. Tim Duncan has established himself as a future HOFer.. Van Horn and Mercer? Where are they now.. their cards are nothing now compared to the arguably the most fundamentally skilled player in the L right now.. Na-tsambahan ko yung player.. swerte naman!!! :thumbsupsmiley: Same with Manu Ginobili.. I had his rookie cards at a cheap price before and now they are skyrocketing.. swertihan talaga.. :thumbsupsmiley: Edited June 2, 2006 by revi Quote Link to comment
Samurai-X Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'm looking for autographed cards of legendary players (basketball, baseball, football,etc) as well as autographed non-sport cards. Pls PM me if you want to sell any from your collections. Sawa na ko sa ebay, most of them are true-blue swindlers, maski PINOY. Quote Link to comment

revi Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Sir Revi would it be possible na mag times 10 yung mga ordinary cards nila Jordan in the next 20 -10 yrs???? I had a Diecut na parang oblong at v pinagsama Another die cut na mdyo square shape tapos my half oblong sa may ilalim. Alin man sa dalawa yung nging Jordan ko.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Malay natin.. Syempre may chance dre.. But right now, they way I see it.. Jordan's cards have reached the pinnacle of their peak.. Why? Coz he is not playing.. Yung rookie card niya sa Fleer at yung XRC niya sa Star ang volatile ang prices.. But yung mga inserts, commons, and jersey/autographed cards.. I think matatagalan kapag gumalaw ang prices nila sa Beckett.. Mukhang SPX yung die-cut mo ah.. If I am not mistaken nasa USD20.00 yun - kung regular card.. If that's the SPX card that's during the time of Kobe's rookie season.. Kung yun namang isa.. parang yung time nina Garnett yun na SPX.. Kung inserts sila.. hindi ko masasabi kasi pare-parehong die-cuts ang regular cards and inserts.. But if they are inserts nasa USD 50 to 80 siguro.. Quote Link to comment

Topps Finest ata yung mga protector na parang plastic sticker dba?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> USD70.00.. Still has lots of potential if KG will get out of Minny and go to a better team that can win him a ring.. Or if Minny gets help for KG to make a good run in the playoffs once again.. Meron ako niyan dude.. I bought it nung nasa USD40.00 lang siya.. It went to as high as USD80.00 before when KG was named the MVP of the L.. but stabilized in the USD70 range.. Quote Link to comment

Dre, I am still elbowing in the Jordan thread.. Well, it really depends on your collection.. kung inserts ang mga ito.. Jordan still sells at a premium.. kaso kung regular cards lang.. Hindi na.. Kaya nga minsan.. lugi ka kapag hindi premium cards ang hawak mo.. The money cards nowadays are really the autographed, jersey cards and hard to find rookie cards.. Ano ba ang mga yan? Commons, inserts, rookie cards? Back read ka a little bit dre.. Para malaman mo yung mga pinag-usapan namain ni andrean.. But if you really want to find out about the prices of your cards.. try buying the Beckett Basketball Card Monthly sa Courtside, Megamall and Galleria available yan.. Quote Link to comment

revi Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Good pm naman.. Just wanna share that the Upper Deck Exquisite Basketball Set is coming..(this mid June - for those who are interested).. This is the USD699.00 per box of basketball cards.. Yup, you read it right approximately Php35K.. Kasing mahal na ng isang high-end na cellphone ang halaga ng isang box nito.. It contains only 1 pack of 5 cards.. If you're asking who is crazy enough to buy these in the Philippines.. I am telling you na meron.. He reportedly opened 30M Pesos++ worth of Exquisite Basketball last year.. Meron ding mga pailan-ilan who opens around 1M - 5M.. And they say we are living in a third world country.. sheesh! Grabe!!!
