Official OS Sports Card Collecting Thread

Here are a few of my favorite cards I have pulled out of packs before.
(These photo's are from my awful phone, so the quality is abysmal).

I guess it's not necessarily a card, but it is 2005 UD Portraits 8x10 auto of him, which is from his rookie year.

Spoiler

The Ted Williams is serial numbered 9/150 and the Ripken 10/50.
I also pulled a Jack Morris button card from that same box with the Ted Williams and I was ecstatic because I knew both were great players and Williams one of the best (I was about 10 at the time).

Spoiler

The card isn't in the best shape, which was how I pulled it, but it was Ernie Banks and even though I'm a Reds fan, it was awesome when I pulled it. Serial numbered 2/25.

I was also looking through earlier some of my "random" boxes b/c of this thread and I found a 5/5 Bob Gibson UD Masterpieces base card that was put in there. I learned a lot about the players when I was younger from the back of baseball cards. Even though I can't collect much right now, it is still nice to look every once in a while at what I have.

Also whenever I can get a decent camera to take a picture of all my cards, I will. I have a decent sized closet that is full of boxes, which most of them my dad & I organized into teams years ago.

Any time that I pull a card out of a pack that's worth like 50-100+ I feel like such a winner.

Even that Ripken now has a book value of like 150.

I'm like you with the back of cards - I learned a lot as a kid from them, and still like checking them out to this day.

Yup they are still warped.

I wish I could show you guys real pictures of my collection. There are so many cards that escape my mind right now. They are all tucked away in a safety deposit box though.
