Hi all,

Back when I was in mid primary school ('93 '94 '95) I was really into collecting trading cards. Mostly Basketball (as wall all the rage at my school then lol). I enjoyed it a lot but as soon as I hit high school I sort...well forgot about it. I was rummaging around in my room a while back looking for music CD's when I found my old folder. Brought back some memories :woot:

Now as much as I'd like to collect them again I have so many other hobbies now it just wouldn't work out. I've been meaning to get around to it for a while now (and as I'm a busy person these days I keep forgetting about it) but I was trying to find out if they were worth keeping, selling or just plain throwing out.

Basically if they are worth nothing (or even next to nothing) I'll gladly give them away for free (else the bin will be their new home...). They are a mix of NRL and Basketball cards, mainly in good condition though I have no idea what constitutes a "good" rating. :lol:

I'll be posting around looking for things about them so I can get a better understanding of them, but I just think that if there are people out there that would actually want them then it's better they have the cards than no one at all.

And yes I am known in my family as a person who hordes everything/"can't bring myself to bin it" kind of person.

Um, I can't really say much more than that!!

Cheers.

- Matt.
 
hi and welcome.

if theres any clyde drexler in there, let me know. your best bet would be to take pics of all the cards you have and post them up in the for sale sections. most of my cards are from the mid 90's so i might be interested in a few.
 
There is one Clyde Drexler card...

Not sure how to name them properly but its an Upper Deck 93/94 "NBA SIGNATURE MOVES" Gliding Layup card. Not sure really what else to say about it lol.

I'll attempt to scan the faces of all the cards in tomorrow at work and post them on the web somewhere so I don't have to type them all out lol. Some of them look pretty generic but I wouldn't be on here if I knew anything about them :lol:

EDIT: Taz Cardz - not to be rude but I have no idea what inserts and parallels are...seriously!!
 
Hi mate, welcome to the site! With the NRL cards if there are any Panther ones i would happily give them a good home :)

Mate, welcome to OCT, you will have no trouble off loading the League cards to a good home, me, I am always looking for more................lol
 
Welcome to the site. If you take some pics and post them we will be able to give you an idea of what they are worth (if anything). But very few NBA cards from that period have much financial value.
 
Yeah not really doing this for financial game - though that would always be a bonus.

I've scanned the cards in and will upload them today and will probably post links for them in the sellers section and reply to PM's people have sent me.

PS. Sorry no panthers cards - I only have 3 NRL cards but they seem special lol.
 
welcome along mate... i love it when an old collection is unearthed, so much fun going through it all
