Anyone collect baseball cards?

Not since I was 16.

I have some old ones from when I was young.

I occasionally grab a Tulane or LSU player.

I apparently tossed mine at some point.

No but I have a ball signed by some lady named Babe Ruth.

I quit in '93 when Topps went to Series 1 and Series 2, and there were too many brands.

Back in the day I looked forward to the first new cards and seeing the new design.

I did when I was a kid. I've looked on ebay and amazon for old wax pack boxes but they usually only have 88 - 92 Donruss, Fleer, & Topps. That was when the market became over saturated. Not many good ones to be had beyond Ken Griffey Jr's Upperdeck card. It's hard to find anything 87 and prior.

I collect just Bregman cards, I have over 900 at the moment. I have a bunch of other cards but I quit buying, too expensive to get shite you don't want.

I use to go there in mandeville. Every Saturday morning my dad and I would do yard work early then ride over for the advocate and some packs before football.

I did in the late 80's through mid-90's. Junkwax era. It was fun though.

When my son started collecting, the hobby had changed so much I didn't even know where to begin trying to understand it. Anyway, he only collected for a couple of years and got out of it. That shite can be expensive.

And don't forget, was it, K19 in Baton Rouge airing the Houston Astros? That was a rough era to be an Astros fan.
