If you collect baseball or football cars, what are your favorites that you have?
For football:
2004 Upper Deck Jonathan Vilma rookie card
2004 Upper Deck Chad Pennington Master Printing Plate. (1/1)
1999 Upper Deck Daunte Culpepper rookie card.
2002 Upper Deck Laveranues Coles (He's in a Jet uniform and celebrating a TD).
2003 Topps Anquan Boldin rookie card.
Unfortunaly all other Jets are in bad photos or I can't find them, and that Pennington card isn't a card, it's like a metal thing.
For baseball:
2003 Upper Deck Bernie Williams.
2005 Upper Deck Hideki Matsui.
2003 Upper Deck Rocco Baldelli rookie card.

OO, I was waiting for someone to ask this, I love baseball cards, and I must say I have a pretty little set going, but first for football, it has to be either my autographed Chad Pennington college card(I bought it for $2.50 before they even drafted him)

But for baseball, I have been trying to get a set together, one original baseball card of a Hall of Famer for every ten-year span starting with 1900, here it is-

1909 T206 Gold Border- Tris Speaker
1916 Spalding Honus Wagner/Tris Speaker
1921 StripCard Dazzy Vance
1935 Batter-Up Mel Ott
1940 PlayBall Chuck Klien
1959 Topps Stan Musial
1969 Topps Mickey Mantle
1973 Hank Aaron

Great set, hard to get, happy I got it!!!

[Chadforpresidentin08]

MY DEAR GOD! Where do you find those at the amount they'd sell for? But don't you collect modern cards of guys like Jeter?

[Maynard13]

Well I Find good deals in lucky ways, like the Tris Speaker, its worth about $1,000, but I only Paid $30, cuz I got it on EBay, and the guy who sold it listed it as " Trs Speakre card" And I always spell stuff wrong just to see, and stuff like that

I don't really like modern cards, cuz their not a great investment, but I do like to get any Cal Ripken Jr. Card I can, I have about 450 different ones and counting

[Chadforpresidentin08]

Nice little plan you got there. What do ya mean not good investments? It took a couple of years for those cards to get $. And don't you buy packs.

[ellisjersey92]

I lost track of my card collection years ago, I do remember having a ?Fleer? Ray Lewis rookie card. I know I had a shit load though, gotta dig them out sometime.

[bobzero11]

My two favorites are my Derek Jeter rookie card from '92, I believe it's Upper Deck... and my Michael Jordan wearing #45 from Flair... I wish I did have some of those old time cards... and I would love to sell 98% of the thousands of cards I do have... I'd rather have money now... but I don't wanna go through EBay... so my options are limited.

I actually went through most of the boxes of cards i have, and i found some damn good rookie cards. I like to check these boxes every year or two, liek i bought a few topps packs in 2002, i looked thru them, noticed nothing special, then 2 years later i check them out (yesterday,actually) and i find 2 carl crawford rookies and a rookie card with both mark tiexeira and hank blaylock, which i got excited about lol. But here are some notable rookies i found....
Larry Walker (topps)
Todd Helton (topps)
Andruw Jones (Topps)
Mark Prior (upper deck)
Manny Ramirez (donruss)
Manny Ramirez (topps draft pick card)
Ty Law (classic)
Marvin Harrison (fleer)
Steve Mcnair (upper deck)
Derek Jeter (classic)
Zach Thomas (score)
Ray Lewis (topps)
Pedro Martinez (upper deck and topps)
Sammy Sosa (topps)

Vlad (topps)
Jason Kendall (classic)
Jim Edmonds (topps)

[Chadforpresidentin08]

I got a Blalock rookie and Texteria rookie too, also 2004 UD Sean Taylor rookie. I aslo have 2003 Topps Carson Palmer, Kyle Boller, and Dewayne Robertson.
2005 Upper Deck football is coming out early, July 29. Usually UD football comes out late August to mid September. Anyone know when 2005 UD Baseball Series 2 comes out? I have all the stars from series 1.
One more thing, am I the only one who noticed that 2004 Upper Deck messed up Wayne Chrebet's stats? They said in 2003 he had over 600 yards, in reality he didn't even ave 300.
