Thought this would be some fun. Show off some cards you picked up ONLY because you thought they looked cool. Not someone you normally collect.

I'm not a Yankees (hate them) or a Maris collector, but I NEEDED to have one of these black diamond cards.

I only collected griffey anything at one point. Nothing else got a second glimpse.. Then doing a random search one day I saw this

It literally screamed at me .. Couldn't turn away, I HAD to have it. Idk why.. It's all I thought about for 2 days before I finally pulled the trigger

Changed everything from how I collected, how I stored them,my focus, my wants.. Everything

Nice card George. And thank you for serving our country.

Recently picked up an Eddie Lacy 2 color patch. Which was odd since I don't collect anything not Braun and the Packers aren't even my favorite team. But it seemed cheap.

I work a lot of events and always keep my press passes. No idea how I stumbled across this on ebay one day but I just had to have it. A little cooler than a regular ticket to me. Funny thing is, I created an individual folder to house scans of all the press passes I planned to buy, haven't bought another in a couple of years. Maybe I'll start that niche of my collection up again someday but this will always be the one that got me started.

I don't collect basketball cards, I really don't collect anything other than Randy Johnson. But i like in OKC and my company sponsors the Thunder, and while I don't follow NBA too deeply, I love going to the games and love our team. So I saw these Prism RWB refractors and fell in love with the design. They're not numbered, not extremely rare nor expensive, but I think they're just perfectly designed with the colors. So now I 4 Thunder players in a holder in my office

Nice card and good luck with the set but don't throw the Bolded around too much as people will try and take advantage of that.

Primarily collect baseball, but I do have many basketball cards and actually sought out Gilmore cards at one time, but this card was just too cool looking not to own.
