Hello
When I was 10 years old I came in contact with basketball. We played it at noon at school and I wanted to play competition. In those days Shaquille O'Neill was still a College bbplayer!! One day at the book store me and two friends bought each two packages (my friends actually more then two!) of Hoops '91_'92. We couldn't believe our eyes but TOM opened a package and it contained a rare Autographed "MAGIC JOHNSON's retirement" card. Now he went back in the store and the man from the bookshop looked into Becket He was trying to find the value of the card but there was only the value of a normal MJ retirement card.
End of the story: the guy sold the card to a friend for 1000 BEF( thats 30 $)
Now the card is way much more money worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A month later was the card listed guess there were 10 of them in circulation. You can look it up!
Is there anyone who collects bbbal-cards? I would like to know.
I have a special Jordan and shaq rookie collection. Also complete series from 91 till 95. Later I want to make a trip to the USA and maybe sell a couple. Have got a signed of Danaa Barros of the Celtics. lol
Share!!!!!!!!!!!
