Anyone Collect Baseball Cards?

I just noticed one of the advertisements was showing BOSS Baseball cards... just wondering if anyone actually collects cards any more?

I used to collect cards when I was younger, but I was more into football cards. I was(and still am) a Cowboys fan and I really collected Emmitt Smith cards. I was also a pretty big Nolan Ryan fan(what Texas kid who pitched wasn't), so I collected those as well. I still have them, but they really don't have much value to them. They are stored in a box up in the top of my closet. My newest cards are probably mid nineties cards... I'm not real attached to them, and if someone offered me $100-200 for them, I'd probably just hand them the box and be done with it.

Astros Cards

I bought a lot of Astros cards about 1-2 years ago (over the timespan, not all at once) so I have a couple of hundred of those. I have about 20 or so signed or game used cards, mostly for Berkman and Everett, but a few others as well. I haven’t bought any in awhile.. there are so many it’s hard to keep up.

What is this "baseball card collecting" you speak of?

Heh, I’ve lived in Australia and New Zealand most my life so I never experienced the hobby every American kid seems to have (whether momentarily or lifelong). I did acquire a massive 400-card retro basketball card collection for about $10 at a garage sale once though ;)
