hey mate, yeah just have way way too much stuff lol, yeah actually i started the hobby with nrl cards back in the day 90-95, wasnt really serious with them then tho, i restarted collecting them when select came back in 2000 i think it was, i still have full base sets from 2000-2004 but then they really started targetting kids and its just crap.
Ive collected nba since 96 and helps that i love bball. yeah some of the autos and patchs are unreal but unfortunately unlike a few years ago theres only 1 manufactuer (panini) and there starting to go the way of select, that sucks.... i definately recommend joining the nba circle if your thinking about it, theres some great blokes in there with awsome collections, let me know if ya wanna joing ill help get ya going ;)
cheers
