I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but among the many things I collected as a kid were sports cards. The set in this binder is the semi-key 1988-89 Fleer basketball set that was a favorite of mine in my early days of collecting due to the look of the cards and the many valuable rookie cards in the set. Even within a few years of the cards hitting the market, packs sold for more than a set sells for now. The value kept me from purchasing one until last year, and I'm glad that I did, as my collection really feels more complete. This also makes up for my elementary school classmate Nathan's aunt making him reverse the trading of cards from this set that I made with him in third or fourth grade due to their value. At the time, she was right, but how are you going to college on that $50-75 set now?
