Not really a collector

Sad_Mushroom · Apr 22, 2011

Hi all,
Just looking as I have no idea about cards at all.
I used to buy them each month for my sons, but they have grown up, left home and told me to sell them on ebay or something.
These cards were bought and placed in slips in books and have stayed there, in my cupboard now for over 10years..LOL
Don't think they have anything special but might be something for someone.
Will work out how to load photo's.

Welcome Kellie! What sort of cards did you buy?

OutlawNinja · Apr 22, 2011

Hi Kellie. Take a photo or scan them so potential buyers can see what you have.
Welcome to the forum

Welcome Kellie, hopefully you get some buyers!

Hi all,
Thanks..
Trying to go through the boxes.LOL
Long story short..We lived on farms in the middle of nowhere and shopping was once a month trip of up to 3 1/2 hours each way.
My sons always wanted Basketball cards are their "treat" (no lollies in this house) and as it was a once a month thing and I had 4 boys we tended to buy packs and packs of cards...which eventually extended to old baseball cards etc.
Collecting different cards and riding motorbikes was all the boys had...

Going though the boxes I now realise there is more than I thought..even those Tazo's LOL

I know with the basketball basic cards ((that everyone gets doubles/triples of)) there is a whole box full. My sons have told me to put them into lots and send to "young'uns" who are just kicking off their collecting phase. So, if you know a young'un starting off in need of some basic cards,,,plz let me know.

The others I will post pics of. As I said probably nothing special but hopefully something that someone is looking for.

Hi Kellie, welcome to Ozcards.

Did you buy American basketball (NBA) or Australian Basketball (NBL). I may be interested in any NBL inserts (these are the better cards in the pack and look something like this if you have any

Did try to take some pics but scanner is busted and cam isn't cutting it....
Is there anything on the cards that lets ya know what they are?

Ummm, basically if it says Futura on the back with a little kangaroo, the cards are NBL. Anything else should be NBA

Look at the back of each card and look for these logos. It will help you work out what sport each card belongs to

Australian Basketball (NBL)

American Basketball (NBA)

Australian Rules Football (AFL)

Rugby League (NRL), or the tackling one as you called it
