My Brees football card collection
 

Thought I would show this off a bit. I started it Christmas 2008 when I got a gift certificate to an online card shop. Up to 270+ cards now, with 30 more on the way.

As a rule I won't spend more than about 10 bucks on any one card, so I don't have a lot of the high-end inserts. But they make me happy.

I also have duplicates of each card pictured here, my ultimate goal with those is to get them put in a giant panoramic frame for my man cave. It'll pretty much cover an entire wall.

never been my thing.

have fun with it, don't get me wrong.

how much do you have invested in all that? curious,,,

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

I would guess around $800 to $1000. Now granted, that's spread out over 4+ years and buying two copies of each card as I go.

Most I will buy with ebay and Amazon gift cards, or credit from some of the online consignment-type shops that I get for cards I've sold. Rarely do I spend actual money on a card. To some extent the online community is one giant swap meet.

I'm jealous. I once had an extensive card collection but that damn Katrina ruined it. That @$%^&... over 15 years of collecting all down the drain.

Stop collecting cards around the time Upper Deck first started doing football cards, now it's just Saints stuff

Yeah, I quit for a long time. Probably around the age of 14 or 15 when I discovered cars, girls and booze. LOL. Got back into it in my 30's when my other hobbies got too expensive to maintain.
