RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - Troubless - 12-13-2012 More of the same for today's update: RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - mickey7mantle7 - 12-13-2012 jesh...I give up. Where and how do you do it? RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - kenarm79 - 12-13-2012 You win. You have the best Jordan collection period. RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - blingting - 12-13-2012 ...now the sickest MJ collection I have ever seen and I am in total awe. RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - craigconway - 12-14-2012 Holy X-mas ! Sun is shining on a winter evening. Would you mind giving us a little insight about the collecting habits of high end MJ collectors around the century mark ? How was it acquiring such tough cards ? Did you use the internet and eBay, a nice card shop around the corner, spending hours at shows, trading with other collectors, busting boxes, etc. ? At the end of the day, even a well funded collector today, would need years to accumulate such a near-complete collection of Jordan 90s. Would be great to get some info from, what seems today like, a different era of collecting.

When I first started collecting, it was mainly at LCS and shows. That was until 1997 when I first started on Ebay. That changed everything in a flash. Those cards that you would almost never see at shows or in shops were right there for the taking. That meant a complete change in buying habits and I pretty much bought most of my collection on Ebay. I used to buy boxes too, but never had a big Jordan hit in any of them. I did find some pretty good cards which could be used as trade bait, and I also sold some on Ebay. So in the end, I guess the hobby hasn't changed much from the days I used to collect, but the main change is the price of some of those cards. Today's update will be slightly different. As I said, I only collect Jordan cards, but at the time I also picked up some older RCs of all-time greats: And now a few more Jordan graded cards: RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - laugustin - 12-17-2012 I am amazed and dumbfounded. I looked like Alton Lister (#53) when I finished the first set of scans. <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1c6636ef13c4345c9bf8477b8dbac2f0/tumblr_mf08xkBuLM1rkxafgo1_1280.jpg" width="400px" height="500px" /> RE: You've asked for it, so here it is - Troubless - 12-17-2012 (12-17-2012, 12:29 AM)laugustin Wrote: I am amazed and dumbfounded.

The gaps are holes that HAVE to be filled... |
