I simply don't understand the market for these cards. Does anyone still make cheap cards that I can buy for about a buck?

And thrill over getting a Lee Mazilli card? Shut up, I was young.

Yeah, they actually do. I reviewed a box of Baseball cards just recently like that. Um... - Jim Aug 1, 11:29 3
- Here's my review...if my boys gave a shit, we'd have collected this one. -- (link) - Jim Aug 1, 11:31
- Awesome. That's what I'm talking about. Screw collecting for value. - musubi Aug 1, 11:31 1
  - Yeah, this set has a Mascot subset...it has cards where a player gives tips on baseball skills - Jim Aug 1, 11:33
Topps does....their base set is about bottom dollar. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:27 5
- I'm not looking for value. I'm looking for enjoying opening a pack to see if your favorite player is in there. - musubi Aug 1, 11:30 4
  - the joy now is not in the cards, it is the inserts. - groiny Aug 1, 11:31 2
    - That is a shame. I probably still have a billion Topps 88 Alfredo Griffin cards in my parents house somewhere. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:34 1
      - A billion more and we've started to remove the glut of Topps 88 Alfredo Griffins that exist. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:40
  - I hope you like stars cuz they don't do cards for everyone. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:31
silly moose, baseball cards aren't for kids anymore -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 11:27
nope. - groiny Aug 1, 11:27 2
- Damn. Two bucks just for cheap card stock. Collectors have ruined baseball cards. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:29 1
  - yup, I started to hate the business right about the time my shop bit the dust. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:30
