Another noob introducing himself

Jiggs · 03-02-2008, 10:17 PM

Jiggs from Indiana.

I used to collect when I was a kid in the late 80's and early 90's, unfortunately during the worthless years. I got back into it in 2001, then again in 2004. Now I'm back for who knows how long. I was just getting back into it for some Arod rookie stuff(while its still "cheap") and I also thought I would collect the 1952 Topps set. I soon realized that the Mantle would cost me a fortune for even a graded 1 so I decided to give up on that. I started to dabble in the new stuff and discovered Blowout Cards. Best prices and excellent service, can't see buying from anybody else.

Wow, that was pretty random about the "thought I would collect the 1952 Topps set"... that's a tough set obviously! Good luck with it though, and don't give up despite the steep price. I think it would be a great project. Welcome to the forum!

Yeah it was kinda random, I'm known to do that. I actually did start on it though, I picked up 30 commons in fair to good condition, paid $5 each. I sold 6 of them back on Ebay. I didn't get what I paid for them so I'm gonna hold out on the others and see what the market does come first of the season.

LOL thats a trip. small world. i'm Rounder Wannabe over there.... "regular" over here, but a n00b over there. I am originally a BYOC'r thanks to Quads.

Wow, small world it is. I didn't think there were any card collectors over at Scott's, but I guess odds are there would be a few.

I tried spamming my table raffle over at BYOC, that forum is dead. I don't think Quads cares though, less work for him to have to do.

yah its unfortunate its not as lively anymore... especially because im local to all of them and play in BYOC games whenever i can. oh well... hopefully quads keeps it up and running.

whatever the case may be, this forum and SKPT are def top notch.
