I'm back

[zak]

Been out of collecting for 14 yrs, just started to get back into it and....WOW times have changed......PRICES have changed. Anyways. I joined this forum to get caught up and it is has been great.

So if you had $1,0000 sitting around, what box or case would you buy? (looking for a big score on a pricey card that may be out there)

welcome back....do u mean 10,000 or 1,000??

we are into mainly vintage/prewar....if i were u, and i had a 1000, id buy a sweet t206 card or an old judge.....

with 10,000 id buy a "super freak" t206 print scrap or proof rarity:)

wax cases/boxes/ect....crap;)

Hi Zak!

Welcome back to the Hobby - it's still alive and kicking.

Just a heads-up, this particular board is focused on PreWar baseball cards. Which is an extremely fun, and interesting segment of the hobby to pursue (especially if you're a history buff). With that said, there isn't a whole lot of pack/box/case breaking going on around here.

With that said - if you're looking to open some packs, I would highly recommend checking out The Baseball Card Exchange (http://www.bbcexchange.com). In my opinion, they're the most reliable source on the internet for unopened material.

If you're interested in PreWar baseball - this is THE forum for that sort of discussion. The knowledge on these boards will blow you away. Good luck with whatever you decide to collect and again - welcome back to the hobby.
