My Brees football card collection

Jack Vegas · 05-28-2013, 08:49 PM

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.

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.

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
