Hey guys,
well, Im Haydz, from Western Australia. I collected cards when I was a teenager and garnered quite a large collection of NBA cards. 93-94 Topps season 1 and 2, 93-94 Hoops S1 & S2, 94-95 Fleer S1 & S2, 91-92 Fleer, 90-91 Hoops, 95-96 Jam Session and theres probably more i cant remember. I went on a hiatus of about 12 years, but still kept all my cards stored away. I also collected Chicago Bulls cards and ended up with roughly 500 Bulls cards, including about 150 Jordan and about 90 Pippen cards.
Anyway, my 6 year old son started collecting football (AFL) cards that came in chip packets.... so I dusted off the collection of NBA cards to show him and its reborn my love. Just ordered a box of 08-09 Upper Deck, and got in the mail today a box of 91-92 Upper Deck... brings back memories opening packs, especially since the first 3 packs I opened I got 4 Jordan cards (none of which I already had!!). Anyway, I came here in hope of filling the gaps on some of my incomplete sets and hopefully being able to help out some people fill gaps in their collections with my doubles and such.
Welcome back to the hobby Hayden, always good to have another NBA collector around the joint! Look forward to seeing a few of your cards at some stage mate!
thanks guys, thats great to know. Seems like a really cool place from what I have seen in my brief browsing of threads. I look forward to being an active and helpful member. Im about to start organizing my shoeboxes full of cards into groups and sets and will start working out what I need and what I have available. Im not much into inserts, apart from Bulls players, but I have a few so they could be good trade bait for helping me complete my numerous almost-finished base sets.
welcome back to the hobby Hayden its good to be reborn again got back into it myself last year,unfortunately my childhood collection was long gone.All the best filling in those gaps mate.
