memories - got a story to tell?

[ryawil0]

Wanted to share this with you guys.

One of my greatest collecting achievements...

I was around 15 or 16 in 1993 - ebay was unheard of and I bought so many packs of 93/94 UD that year that it makes me feel sick how much money I must have spent on it. I was after the MJ's Flight Team set (still my all-time favourite inserts lol) which was 1:30 if I remember right.

Anyways I pack pulled pretty much the whole set except the Pippen and the Malone, which I traded for after finding some other random card junkies at the mall.

I was pretty damn proud of myself. My dad taught me how to frame things and its been on my wall wherever i've moved to ever since. Even when I gave up cards a few times over the years, it always been there.

just wanted to share this pic (i know its not great quality but you get the idea).

Cheers

Ryan
