Still excited?

This was the one I was excited about. Just arrived.

TBH I did right up until a few weeks ago. Since this scandal, I've not bought a thing. I hope this feeling passes.

Being a set builder, and with every card getting me closer to completion, I've frequently been known to get as excited about commons as I do stars.

Well, I hope they are at least centered commons?

I don't get as excited as I used to but still somewhat.

Very nice card.

Yes, I still get excited. I have a shot at a card that I've been looking for for five years. I'm looking forward to that auction.

For all the ups and downs in the hobby — as well as my own ups and downs — collecting baseball memorabilia is just as rewarding for me today as it's always been. The Christmas Day and candy store analogies are right on. How many of you find yourself excessively checking tracking numbers to follow the progress of your purchases as they make their way across the country?

For me it's dependent on the acquisition. I routinely buy inexpensive cards for my yankees/hof binder...which can range from a 1975 topps hal lanier/excitement level of a 1 perhaps to a 1956 topps clemente which might be a 6 on the excitement scale to a cobb/ruth pickup which could be a 9-10!!!!!

nice e90-2 wags! I sold mine too soon! I miss him!

Thanks guys. Figured it was relatively safe given the current climate. It was fun having it show up on my day off.
