Hello All, reentering the hobby

[shadow2493]

Hello all! I am jumping back into this hobby after about a decade totally being away. Anyway, I primarily collect Baseball, but am thinking of branching into NFL and NBA. Within the baseball world I have focused on Cal Ripken, George Brett, and other various Royals.. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and getting back into the hobby. It's been a slow reentry with a few Bowman Blasters and a Topps Hobby sitting on my shelves as I do a slow burn on opening up the packs.

WELCOME to SCF. When you get the time, please check my threads. Most of my threads are in the baseball trade and sell forums. Since you "focus" on Ripken, I have a good amount of his cards up for sale. I have a thread concerning his cards on the baseball buy/sell forum. Again, welcome to SCF, Rodney

Hi @shadow2493 - welcome back to the hobby and the boards! One of the other things you can try to build with your collection is trying out TTM autograph requests. For the cost of a couple envelopes, a couple stamps, and a letter plus a couple common base cards, you could jump start your autograph collection cheaper than any hobby box or blaster.

Here's a couple Royals guys who sign:

Bret Saberhagen ($5-10) - https://www.sportscardforum.com/scft...wplayer/2/2985
Brian McRae (free) - https://www.sportscardforum.com/scft...player/2/14065
Danny Tartabull ($5) - https://www.sportscardforum.com/scft...player/2/10791
Jeff Montgomery (free) - https://www.sportscardforum.com/scft...wplayer/2/1441
Mike Sweeney (free) - https://www.sportscardforum.com/scft...owplayer/2/914
Jeff Suppan (free) - https://www.sportscardforum.com/scft...owplayer/2/401

If you have more questions on getting started, let me know! You can always tag something by putting an @TheirName to tag em.
