Hey Boys And Girls...

[metallikat87]

i think im getting out of the hobby
i know you guys hear it a lot but im not going on some sob story, im not having any major family problems(not that i am insensitive to those who do have problems, im just telling you thats not what this is) im just getting away from it since i hate opening boxes. they cost too much and i have never pulled anything even remotely good. and i hate singles now since i cant now nor will i ever pay hundreds for an adrian peterson auto
i think im gonna try to expand my memorabilia collection with more mini helmets and jerseys and such

mostly im letting you know because i want to give away whats left of my sad excuse for trade-bait and whatnot

i think this site is almost completely former cp guys(or i hope so since thats who i want to give the freebies to)

just to let you know now im not paying the outrageous prices for bubbler shipping so everything will be packaged nicely and sent via the PWE Express

anybody who wants some,pm me a few guys or your team or your college team and i will try to make some packages then i will ask for your addy

for now im going to bed and i will check back and try to keep up, i think i will still post and read this site since i like the people and the content beyond the cards

[sliqwill]

brad smith or kyle boller :salut:

[lafanguy (#1 T.ChangFan)]

hey man, i know exactly what you mean. lately, besides my timmy chang and spencer havner collections, i havent been really interested in anything. i have, however, been looking all over for memorabilia that appeals to me.
anyways, good luck with whatever you decide, and if you have any timmy chang's or spencer havner's, i'd be happy to have any.
Thanks

Just dont leave us. :p

[seahawks4ever]

I hear you on the reasoning. Even a cheap box is 50-60 and you get absolutely nothing out of it.

If you have some Seahawks stuff lying around, I promise it will go to a great home! :)

[jwilliammoore]

Dallas Cowboys or Ohio State Buckeyes.

Sorry to hear your getting away from the hobby.

[Zeeck]

You can just send me all your Tommie Harris cards. Thanks. :p

[hoosierdaddy]

im thinking of doing the same thing. cards don't entertain me as much anymore...memorabilia is a lot nicer.

But i'll still take your Rams if you want to give them away :)

[onyxdragon5977]

Steven Jackson or Michael Bennett. Sorry about the luck man, but you'll be back, they all come back! :)

[busyb85]

Yeah I agree with you. I haven't been buying much of anything the past few months just dont have the money.

I'll take any Chad Johnsons or Titans. :)

[GiantFan]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you still post on the site. I'm a Giants fan so whatever you have I'd be willing to take. ;)

Do yourself a favor and hang onto something of sentimental value to you no matter what it's worth. Some of the most fun I've had in the hobby was going through some old O-Pee-Chee hockey sets I built in the late 70's and early 80's. I regret my complete lack of consideration for condition as a kid, but it was a blast to check out all the old names and how into actual "collecting" and trading I was then compared to now.

And you are probably right, memorabilia and such is the way to go. Others can appreciate it with you when displayed as non-hobbyists rarely appreciate cards in any form.

[rexvos]

Peterson will be cheaper later, do not lose heart, running backs are hot at first but their prices cool.

but if you are going to do this

Tim Rattay and any and all LSU Tigers!

[rb45070]

OVer the past few years, I have been going to more and more minor league games and getting broken bats signed by the players and hats and such signed. It is a lot nicer imo but I still can't shed my wax and single habit. Im trying to, and reserve it to only a select few. But best of luck with whatever you do, and if you have and derek hagan or notre dame laying around, ill give them a home.

[Chadjacksonfan]

dont do it but......

[Chadjacksonfan]

chad jackson,maroney,jones drew ,tom brady !!! but dont give up !!! prices will go down like rexvos or uhhhh xerxes said

[metallikat87]

i will probably still pick up some sooners stuff here and there and im definitely not getting rid of what sooners i have now, and i still want to stay on the site since i love the people

i have been wanting to go through and just freebie out everything thats been sitting here for months anyway

for everybody that asked im working on it but its a lot of stuff and a lot of requests so you gotta be patient with me for now

I know exactly what you mean. Card just get quite boring after a while, especially since they are getting so expensive. I quit a couple months ago, and now into memoribilia. I have one card left (or at least one that is worth anything), and am trying to sell it to buy myself a Walter Payton Auto. I also just kept up with my Lions collection. Mainly full of base/inserts/RCs/#'d cards and a couple GU or Auto'd cards.

If you are interested in some memoribilia, I have some extra I may sell (Sayers Auto'd Jersey, Jim Brown auto'd jersey, and some more

[andy]

Purdue Boilermakers :)

And LMK if you have any 03 or 04 Pristine gold refs or reprint refractors.

Good point. One of my favorite cards that I will never get rid of is a Don Mattingly GU, the first decent card I ever pulled. Of course, not quite from the 70s, but sentimental value nonetheless. :p
and I'll take Pats if you have any that you haven't burned yet.

thats about what im aiming for
i really just want sooners memorabilia though for now, maybe when i get some more stuff i will be interested
i would definitely love a sayers or brown jersey but i think its outta my league for now
