Good to see there are other card collectors here. I, like so many others, lost all the cards I collected when I was a kid (in the 70's) when I moved out to attend college. I started back up for a few years on the 80's, but like you said, they were printing them like crazy and are just about worthless except for the memories. I didn't get back into it until I moved to Phoenix just days before the Diamondbacks Innagural game and for a good ten years, attempted to get my hands on every Diamondback…

I didn't get back into it until I moved to Phoenix just days before the Diamondbacks Innagural game and for a good ten years, attempted to get my hands on every Diamondback card produced -a lofty and impossible task! Every few years, in the months between the World Series/Arizona Fall League and the start of Spring Training, I will pull them out, try to organize any new cards I acquired, and pretend I'm a kid again. Except that now, I know not to clip them to my the spokes on my bike.<br />

I will save my insanely neurotic method of organizing my collection for another time, but will mention that I have a good contact for anyone interested in "team" specific collections. I have a buddy who buys every conceivable set and then sells off cards for all the teams he doesn't collect. I buy all of his Diamondbacks cards at a lofty discount off the Beckett's guide pricing. He also sells individual cards for those looking to complete a set. If interested, drop me a line. I know exactly what you mean.…tag:www.ballparkchasers.com,2012-03-15:1681163:Comment:1088042012-03-15T00:16:55.048ZScott Heaton (12)https://www.ballparkchasers.com/profile/ScottHeaton
<p>I know exactly what you mean. I started to buy packs for my 5 year old about 2 years ago. We spend about $10 a week on cards to see what we pull. Target has had the 2012 Topps for a few weeks now and we buy them. I pulled out all of mine from the attic and we have spent many hours organizing them and putting them into binders for him and my 2 year old! It does bring back memories from the early 80's!</p>

<p>I have been collecting signed baseballs for years. I have over 2,000. My son has also enjoys doing this. This is awesome because now I can send him to the players that are hard to get as they don't sign for adults (ARod) and its better than spending $500!!!!</p>
