Evening all, I am new here. My name is Euge and I am wondering why all the excitement about NBA cards? Of course I can see why, it was just a shock to learn how strong everything is going. Normally, I collect numismatics (coins and bank notes) but the market is quite slow at the moment, they're a real long term thing. Anyone heard of the 'Red-back coin'? It was awesome.
So I'm saying hello to the community, using my manners and introducing myself. Gee I just read the thread about the alleged Jordan card theft, naaaaasty!
I have spent the better part of this weekend trying to learn about modern/ish basketball cards. What does everyone think about my intention to try and purchase graded cards (PSA and BGS only) at 'reasonable' prices. Don't worry I understand the thrill of hunting and collecting, been collecting everything from river stones as a kid to toys and comic books as a teen. Now it's about the kids as well.
Or am I just going to keep card shops in business paying for ridiculously over-priced cards.
If I might, what's everyone's thoughts on two cards I have in mind...
1. 2002-03 Amare Stoudemire RC Auto Patch 1485/1999 graded 8.5 by PSA. I was thinking of offering AU$75 for purchase and postage from the US.
2. 2010-11 Panini R&S Evan Turner RC Auto Patch 1/10 ungraded. I was thinking of offering AU$180 for it with postage.
I just wanna let everyone know that Mr. Paparazzi has been more than kind offering help and information, sounds like a decent guy so THANKS Mr P.
Okay guys everyone have a good night, happy 4th of July to the US members, supertoad out.
