I don't collect early cards, but this was my prize possession - 1986 Michael Jordan Rookie Card PSA 9, which he signed in 1987. Bought it raw on Ebay for $650. Sent it to PSA. Sold it for $4,000. Let's see yours!

absolute beauty!

Like always, regretted selling it! But it's what we go through as collectors! I got into Game Used Memorabilia, which was expensive.

I choose the Ruth! I like that card!

The 1953 Topps Mays autograph was obtained by my grandfather sometime in the early 1950's in Milwaukee, WI. He claims it was his rookie year...he's 91 now so I'll give him a pass on that one. The Wagner is a recent addition and downgrade from a PSA 5 that I sold late last year. Still very pleased to own this one

I"m with you Bob. Nothing beats those years of skating and 80s cards for me.

1980s most incredible decade ever!

One of my first cards and intro into hobby.

I've really gotten into the vintage hockey lately. Love the C56 set and this Taylor card. But I think I like this skateboard more. Took me over 10 years to finally find an original unused Tony Hawk that matched the one I got for Xmas 1985.

Searched for this card for years and years, and all of a sudden a couple of Authentic's popped up, then this one. Glad to own one!

I bought this at a show in Anaheim from Mike Berkus. Encapsulated it many years later:



I wanted a Groucho signed Bowman card but never thought I'd find one. I mean, what are the chances, right? Then I was surfing eBay one night [insomnia] and there it was. BIN:

[begsu1013]

that groucho card is very cool!
