Basketball Sports Cards

Posted by ark on September 7, 2010 · Leave a Comment

As an avid fan of the NBA, I have been collecting basketball sports cards since 1996.

I don’t want to be redundant regarding how I happened to stumble into this hobby so I suggest you read my blog post titled My NBA Trading Cards Hobby on my old web site.

During that time, the hobby had an explosion here in the Philippines.

I remember trading with hobbyists of all ages: from a 7 year-old kid to a 40-something professional.

However after the shortened NBA season in 1998 due to a lockout, many fans were disgusted with the turn of events. As a result, they left the hobby causing it to die gradually.

When Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh along with a strong draft class exploded into the NBA scene in 2003, it revived fan interest in the NBA and as result, it also helped revitalized the hobby when they turned back to collecting basketball sports cards.

I was one of those.

Thanks to the power of the Internet, even though we have no card shops here in our place, I can still buy and trade cards of my favorite players, Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard.

I buy and sell at eBay and trade with other hobbyists all over with the various sports cards forums too numerous to mention.

Here in the Philippines, there’s only forum: NBA Cards Philippines of which I am one of the first ten members and actually helped to put it up.

Filipino fan, if you want to return to the hobby, you are very much welcome.

You can also visit my newly-put up web site dedicated to basketball sports cards (of course); where I posted my box breaks and showcase my collections: Basketball Sports Cards

See you!
