Taking The PC To The Polls

[gladdyontherise]

please check my pc and lmk whats missing, i havent posted some rc's including upper deck mvp, topps pristine, topps ten and have some #ed stuff and a patch not on there yet but please tell me how i'm doing. i really need advise, and though im not selling this how much would you pay based on the bv of my collection

you know thats a decent start for a amare collection, how long have you been collecting him? and my opinion to you is, start working on getting his autos, the gu will come easy so will the rookies but his autos are the hardest ones to come by so stop with everything else and devote ur self within ur budget of course and start getting his auto before they get even harder to get right now, but keep up the good work :D

"Voted Pretty Good"

:D

i;ve been having trouble with his auto's. i will continue to get base only because there easy to get and dont require much. but ive been collecting stoudemire for alittle less than 2 months. but i will start to get some tradebait in

Pretty good. You've picked up a lot of his cards in a short time.

I've been collecting Duncan for a few years and I still don't have any auto of his. Eventually I will...just haven't found the courage to drop $70-100 on a card.

thatd my problem. im in highschool so i have little/no money, ive seen acouple on here but im told i never had any. the only time i did was with a 160bv durant and the 30-50bv auto was the only thing i could find :(

You've done a good job with collecting Amare. As a Suns fan, I'm impressed with your efforts as I don't have that much of Amare, but that's because I don't collect base/inserts, lol.

I've got an Amare Stoudemire auto from ebay for $15, but I haven't seen many Amare autos aside from high-end products.

So i read this and I remember the days....I actually grew up in Ann Arbor and went to high school in Birmingham...definitely was a collector at the same age you are now and it was tough(even tougher because the internet was expensive back then)...at the time I mainly collected Ryne Sandberg and small pc's of a few others..nothing too special but also worked from a limited budget....but with that limited budget, just wait till you see things pop up. It would be hard to add to the tigers pc just because you catch the premium in MI. With the amare pc(yes I collect, yes I live in Arizona now and yes I agree your working on a high caliber player who hasn't got the credit yet) try calling around to different shops in Michigan. You might be able to pick a few cards on the cheap because of the region. Otherwise hit the boards hard for trade chances and search through ebay listings throughly. Also, if you can pick up a star who hasn't hit their spike in prices, it is great trade bait for he Amare auto's. I know you asked me about a trade before for the Amare triple jersey I have and I will hold it for a while and hopefully in the meantime you can have a decent Nash pull and then I will trade in your favor simply because I understand where you're coming from. Anyways, gl with your collection!!

ps. nice collection so far!

Thanks & Thanks Again!!
i collect stoudemire because he is a star and he is just so cheap and easy to get. i mean the guy averages 20+ and 10+ a night throughout his career and gets little recognition for his playing. i do work at a cardshop sometimes so i can get a few of my needs there still cause no one in michigan is intrested. i am going to trade for a gu /23 of lebron from my boss, i figure i trade some cards build of some store credit then i will get an amare auto and other trade bait so i can get more amare. its very hard to have a nice budget, especially cause my bucket has gone very downnnn in tradebait, i do what i can, i am planning on getting a hobby box of basketball, proably bowman so im hoping for a nice rookie auto or something. but i have to change my ways of collecting only because i find myself a nicer person than some on this site. some only trade autos for autos i dont as i think thats stupid but everyone wants to trade gu for my auto so now i have 1 left. i will only trade my autos for amare stoudemire or tigers autos now if there a decent one, but thanks for the advice!
