docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 @DoctorEncore @TDIRunner thank you guys! its funny you guys had very similar collections. the years were 94-98 ish. you both had that 95-96 skybox and tdi had some nice fleer metal. i tried to keep what each of you had, that made it into top loaders seperate, to capture it for both of you. thank you again! while these cards arent worth a fortune it would have cost me much more to add them to my collection. doctor you had two kobe rookies (one base and one insert). top pic is doc second pic is tdi 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm glad they went to a good home. It was fun going through them one last time. It brought back some good memories from those years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the boxes? I got most, if not all of that stuff for free from a card shop that was getting rid of it. This was back when I was still collecting it.

I don't really remember where that came from. I might have come from the same place as the boxes. I used to visit a small coin shop that sold cards and I got a lot of free stuff from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 This is the Penny stuff I kept. And the only remaining Jordan card in my collection. And some Wheaties boxes that I kept for some reason. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I guess I never got around to sending that in. You know, my parents still lived in that house up to about 3 years ago. I even used that phone number up until that same time. Don't know who is living there now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 527 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That's great to see. The mid-90's was the time when I was heavily collecting basketball cards. I have and recognize a lot of these. Nice for bros to help out other bros. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks for making this post. I'm really glad they found a good home. I'd been lugging those things around for way too long without any appreciation for them. I looked through them, reminisced, and felt content that I no longer wanted them. As Marie Kondo says, "Discard anything that doesn't spark joy." Also, '94-98 would have had me at 10-14 years old which fits perfectly with my memory of collecting. I specifically remember summer to trips to Northern Michigan (or as we called it, "Up North") where I'd spend what little money I had on cards at a local shop. Gathering those cards was definitely a precursor to my videogame collecting habit. Like all good junkies, I just transitioned from one addiction to another.

captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I don't think I have any basketball left (I slimmed my stuff down to hockey and pre-1986 baseball), but if I find any I'll send 'em your way. Would be from late 80s/early 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your joy at receiving them does bring me joy. Joy for all! Also, Grant Hill was definitely my guy. Can't forget Joe Dumars and Lindsey Hunter and the rest of the dudes that no one outside of Michigan cared about. I also loved Penny and Shaq. Maybe it's the Michigan-Florida connection (it seems like everyone in Michigan is related to someone in Florida, vacations in Florida, or owns property in Florida) or just the fact that they dominated at the time I really liked basketball.

Grant Hill drinks Sprite! And I think he did this one other thing waaaaaay back when I was in 5th grade (1992) but for obvious reasons I'd rather not talk about that.
