    Ok I went to my local Sports card distributor last Sunday and purchased 4 packs of 2000-2001 UD Hardcourt Basketball cards , On my 2nd pack I got and Etan Thomas Rookie #'d to 900 and a Ray Allen Game floor in the same pack along with a Wally Sczerbiak Insert , all this in a 5 card pack.

    Today I went to the Same place and Bought 2 packs of Fleer Premium and Got A Glenn Robinson insert [​IMG] but the next pack I got a Shaquille Oneal Game Used Jersey! [​IMG] . Exicted with my luck I bought two packs of 2000 Bowmans best football cards , 1st pack nothing good , the Next pack I Got a Chris Redman rookie #'d 478/1499 . So this has been a pretty good week .

    Where can you find cardpacks nowadays? I remember back in the day when I used to go to Wal-Mart and get em or Stop and Go. Now, you have to go to the mall or to Trader's Village or A Sports Cards shop. Anyone know any other places?

    Walmart stopped carrying them. Kmart, Target, Sams, or a Card Shop are the places where one can buy a card pack from.

    Thanks Rockets03. I have a bunch of good cards from back in the day. I stopped collecting when Duncan and Iverson came into the league. I have Duncan's rookie, Iverson's rookie, Stephon Marbury, Marcus Camby, Sam Cassell, Chris Webber, Glen Rice, and Larry Johnson's rookie. I'm trying to get back into the game.

    I used to be obsessed with collecting cards. Now, I just check out the price guides every now and then. I stopped collecting after Shaq's rookie season. I used to want to have my own Card Shop when I got older. Oh, how times have changed.

    My best friend has 703 different Hakeem Olajuwon cards. Anyone have an idea what his collection might be worth?

    I'll give you $1.49. Take it or leave it. [​IMG]

    I used to collect when I was a little(r) kid...nothing real good, though. David Robinson's rookie, Tim Hardaway's, Glen Rice's, etc......

    It's been about a year since I've done any purchasing. I mostly buy singles anyway because my pack luck is not good.
    I have a collection of about 250 different Olajuwon cards, including a '98 and '99 Flair Showcase Masterpiece.

    I used to have a Dream Rookie card. It's value stayed at around $80 for a while and I ended up selling it to a friend for $100. That was about 8 years ago.
