Anyone collect relic cards anymore?

[CobbSpikedMe]

I collect Mark Teixeira game used cards and GU/Auto cards. I started picking them up years ago when I followed him but only grab them now and then these days. Plus, most of them are quite affordable so I check for them on eBay when other things are slow.

My Favorite…

Love the older ones from the late 90s/early 2000s. They've become so incredibly redundant and abundant that they're rarely anything more than an insert that makes me groan and sigh at the same time.

I have a shoebox full of game used cards that I pulled from packs most of them are early 2000's.

Most of the Upper Deck cards say that they came from an item used by the player in an official major league game.

Some of the game used cards have photo's on the card of the game used item.

Some of them like this Clemens World Series base (looks more like it could be a piece of the pitching rubber to me) say what game or series the game used was from.

This is one of my favorites a duel Yogi Berra and Cal Ripken Jr.

I still purchase relic cards of players I collect, been picking up some here and there lately.
Mostly I have been getting the ones I had graded with SGC as I like how they present in the holders.
