I love selling and collecting sports cards, it can be any sport but I prefer NASCAR cards or game used cards, their unique and can be worth a lot of money. Are there any other sports fans out there that sell or collect sports cards? and if so which sports and why do you like those the best? I recently bought four boxes of cards and I'm looking into keeping some of the ones I want but selling most of them on e-Bay since many are just base cards but it'll make a good start to selling and hopefully getting returning buyers/bidders.
I wish it was easier to find game used/race used cards, I just think it's so cool that they make cards with game used jersey, race win and race used tire and fire suit etc. I'm trying to get better at knowing which boxes or companies are worth my money, I know Press Pass is very popular in the NASCAR world, Upper Deck is a big company but I see some of these collectors that seem to find all the awesome cards, do they just know what to look for or is it pure luck? I know most cards are limited with serial numbers so their hard to come by.
I would love to hear from other sellers or collectors, it's a fun hobby of mine and I'm always looking for others to discuss sports and sports cards/memorabilia with.

Growing up I collected baseball, football, basketball, and hockey cards. But it was different back then. The competition wasn't as fierce, you didn't have 19,000 different card companies and sets you could buy for any one year. Upper Deck was the expensive brand at like $1.50 a pack. I still have a good deal of cards, packed away, but I was under the impression that the integrity of the trade took a drastic turn a few years back, right about the time these game used cards were coming out acutally. I'm also probably a little biased, for during my decline of interest for sports cards in general, I also lost a good deal of respect for the athletes in general. I collected cards back in the day, more because I liked a particular player. With the whole onslaught of steroids, athletes holding out of contracts, demanding more money, etc.....I don't know, I stopped buying sportscards.
