I recently picked up several complete sets fopr $5-$7 each. They probably retailed for $25-$30 at the time. @ Squeaky – yeah, the market for 80s/90s cards is pretty bad.

It's interesting to hear how the market opened up and the companies tried to squeeze more money out of the collectors. Did that impact the value of the cards you had been collecting?I haven't ever been a card collector (other than the original Star Wars cards back in the late 70s.) I loved that and would trade with friends every chance I got. I'm assuming you were the same way with B-Ball cards but on a much more serious level.Glad to hear you're saving your money and investing in some good quality coffee beans, microbrews or whatever your liking.Have a great one.Squeaky...
