I think it's going a bit far to say that, $350 cards aren't in everyone's price range. I for one cannot afford that kind of money, So I have to stick to lower-end stuff does that mean I'm wasting my time?If I could give you one tip, don't waste your time with the low end stuff. I'd select a few reasonably prices cards and save towards them. Having 100-200 $1 cards is nice of course, but think of the postage spent on all that. You could've probably saved and had an awesome $350 Exquisite auto of him (possibly an auto patch?). Or a sweet refractor maybe (not too sure how high Rose's cards go).
I always find if I buy quality cards ($30 - $50 range) they at least hold their value, sometimes go up a touch, then I sell them (even if pc unfortunately) to get something VERY nice. It's kind of another way of saving + collecting at the same time.
I had 100 Tim Duncans, but they were nowhere near as nice to look at as my Playmakers Theatre T.D.
not to contradict any of the above posts, but in all the time and bucket loads of money ive spend on the hobby its good to also learn the hobby. I think that to completly get the most out of what and why u love it is to get the base - then realise you shouldn't have got the base - then get the gu - then realise you souldn't have got them - then to the cheap autos - to the high end stuff ect. This then makes you a better rounded collector and will help you define your own collecting goals as everyone is different to what they expect and want from their own collections

Firstly, Every Bowen is only average to ok that's why I collect himIt certainly does not, it's just advice. How much is your collection worth? Let's say someone purchased it for what it's worth, then you had that money to buy the best Bowen's out there, would you? Or would you keep the collection?Would you rather the 3 best Bowen cards or 200 average to ok ones? Each person is different. I'm a quality over quantity guy. Does'nt mean I don't have plenty of low end stuff, I have loads.
It's not for everyone, but I pick up things here and there when I have money, then usually sell some stuff to gather the money for something "nice".
It's not often you have $350 lying around to spend on cards like you say.

Secondly, I deffo see where you coming from. I'd sell my entire collection to get that 1/1 DeMarcus Cousins RC Logoman
oh wow... Can't get him any lower? The Cousins one went for $3,500haha
I have found the Blair NT 1/1 Logoman.... asking $1500 for it?? I can't bring myself to do it though! My 3 daughters can go to dancing class every week for a year for that! I know what I choose!
i said to my wife the other day if i won lotto it would ruin my love for collecting as i could and would buy what ever i want

Hi mate,
If Rose is your fav player then you have to stick with him. But you need to accept that it will almost close to impossible to collect all his cards. Not unless you have $$$ to burn. For me, my fav player is Shaq, during the time I started collecting him, I never had the $$$ to spend to get all his cards, so I just focus on what I can buy/trade and it took me years to get some of the cards I was not able to get during the time the card was released.
Honestly, I would probably just collect all Blair's in Spurs uni then stop!
I'd be the same. I know rose will be there for another 5 years and has no plans on leaving. I couldn't throw big $$ at anyone not in a bulls uniform
I am a Spurs fan for life and if he leaves by choice, he is dead to me... if he gets traded against his wishes, then he is just permanently disabled to me!
Pretty this is the best thing Adam has ever typed. I'm exactly the same with my Nuggets.
Back on topic, As Adam said, you don't need to collect your favorite player, I collect Bruce Bowen, not my favorite but is in my top 3 and is rather affordable.
Kenneth Faried is my favorite player, obviously there is no cards of his yet so DeMarcus Cousins was the next best thing and I used to collect him and if you ask almost any of the guys in the basketball section here they'll tell you I had a pretty decent PC but his prices went up and up and up which made him unaffordable (for me) but every now and then I'll treat myself to a nice Cousins card.
But it is hard because everyone likes good players and good players are expensive.
So hard cause I love the bulls and rose is the man. Loving the advise
