Any Sports card collectors here?

AWESOME ball! I used to collect all cards. FB, Hoops, baseball, and a few hockey. Sold most of my BIG cards a while back. One of which was a Jordan rookie (had almost that entire year of Fleer cards, so MANY HOFer rookies). Wishing I held onto that one, now. Used to have a McGwire rookie, Jerry Rice, Clemens, Puckett, and MANY others. I think I had like Jordan's first 8 or 9 regular edition cards that were out, and many of the special edition ones. As a kid, though I grew up never seeing him play, and I lived in MN, I LOVED Mantle. The first early prizes to my collection was a pair of Mantle cards I got for Christmas (a '66 and '68 respectively).

Had several autographed cards that I also sold. It was when the bottom was falling out of the market that I sold my stuff off. I wish I still had some of it, because of what the money went to (stuff that I let my ex-wife keep in the divorce so long ago).

I know I still have some things left. I'll have to see if I have anything of value remaining.
