First of all I would just like to stress how much of an absolute beginner I am. When I was younger I had an obsession with trading cards and the excitement that comes with it. Basically all of my money went towards it until I grew out of it in high school. Anyway, I'm at university now and playing poker semi-professionally for my income. Considering all is going well and has been since the beginning of last year I thought it would be a great time to start a proper collection as I have always wanted to.
I would love some help from anyone that is willing on this site because I do not know where to start. I was intending on waiting on this years Select release of AFL cards, but from what I have read on a thread on this site it is going to be a massive dissapointment again in terms of the variety of the cards. I am very fond of the NBA but I think I am not into it enough to pour all of my money into a collection for it. I also love cricket.
I hope someone could help me out soon because I'm struggling to hold back from buying a 08/09 Hot Prospects NBA box, haha. Thanks.
Welcome to the site Tim! There's a lot of people on this site who can help you out decide on what to do or who to collect including me (but Im only familiar with the NBA cards ).
