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.

and going

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

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.

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

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

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

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.

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

That being cars, girls & booze?!

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

Very cool! I am a big card collector myself. Have quite a bit. It can be a lot of fun trying to keep up with everything that gets released.

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

Thats a nice collection. Thanks for sharing!

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

Damn that really sucks

Before there were 900 companies selling cards I was trying to find all the Saints cards. I did pretty good for the late 60's, 70's & 80's, even some for the 90's. but after that it got way to hard & expensive

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

Did alot of Collecting throughout the 90s.

Baseball, Football, and Basketball and had quite a collection.

Unfortunately Katrina took it, but even today, their was literally nothing much there in terms of money. Cards in this era was worthless except about 3-4 key ones. I collected some cards out of the 80s and some of the early 80s had some good ones.

I went to Pokemon in late 90s and I believe it has a far bigger return money wise than Sports cards.

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

My collection consisted primarily of baseball cards but I did have quite a few football and basketball cards as well. I had a few Ken Griffey Jr. rookie cards, a Barry Bonds rookie card, Greg Maddux, Alex Rodriguez, among others... which all would fetch a pretty penny these days.

Funny you mention Pokemon cards. My friends little brother made a killing selling those things while in junior and senior high school. I couldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. I on the other hand, branched out and collected some Magic cards... just to play though.

I totally feel your pain and empathize with you on that one...

Re: My Brees football card collection
 

Jack I have a huge collection of autos, patch autos, and sick patches. I only collect saints and get it all from eBay. Start going for the numbered cards, they will be worth some serious jack one day. I have about 8 grand in numbered saints cards. Go for the gold brother because when Brees retires, cha ching!!
