New to collecting!
 

hey just wanted to introduce myself. i have been collecting for about 8 months now. I kinda' stumbled on the hobby by accident. I was browsing a local collector's shop for some yugi-oh cards for a gift, and was curious as to why cards were so expensive. the guy (thanks steve from Guam)convinced me to try something out. I bought a pack of 05/06 ud trilogy and pulled a 9/25 jordan/james duo signature card and have been hooked on collecting since.

although it is not as popular or lucrative as other sports i only collect basketball.

Nice way to start a hobby!! Welcome.

happy collecting bro

it was a nice start! i was so naive i thought every pack i opened would be just as enjoyable. my luck has since run out...hehe! although, i am still loving this new hobby

Run! Run while you still can!! lol.

Wish I could say my start was as good as your's, but my collecting started with a rather simple auto.

Welcome to the hobby and hope you do well!! Good luck breaking!!

talk about a cornerstone to start a collection with..wow! Wish my introduction to the hobby was that nice..welcome to the board!

Yeah that is awesome, Ive been collecting on and off for 20 years and have never pulled a Jordan auto or anyone close.

That's a great start. All I had were the Stan Musial puzzle pieces from donruss! Still not sure if I every actually put one together or not.

Welcome anyways!

thanks for the posts!

i got a coworker into the hobby too! he saw the jordan/james card and thought he'd like to try his hand at the "on average" hobby! (i just broke a depressing box of 08/09 hot prospects and it was definitely not "on average")

btw here is the pic of the card

Very sweet looking card. Best BB card I've got is a Durant RC Auto
