My Brandon Roy Exquisite Card COllection

HCP is now jealous.

 

I have a ton of cards somewhere.... but they aren't in nearly as good of shape as all of yours.

 

Nobody cares about your Pokemon collection, Nate.

 

I'd think you would want to have them signed yourself for a more personal reasons.

 

Not really. It ruins the value of the card for the most part and does not look as nice. Of the autographs I have gotten in person, only a couple were not acting like they would rather be doing anything else. Curt Schilling was by far the biggest asshole.

Surprisingly, Paul Allen was quiet but very cool.

 

My favorite autograph experience last Christmas.

 

I just thought the card would have more value to yourself if you had got it signed. It's kinda like when I took a picture of the ruins in Athens, it means a lot because I took it instead of downloading or buying it.

 

hey midnight welcome to the board - i invited him over from a card collecting board to talk blazer bball - it's a pretty small contingent of Blazer supporters in the South Pacific so im on a recruitment drive.

nice Roy collection, mate

 

in regards to the above point, yes. some people do get things signed in person - but as not everyone lives IN portland or another city that has an NBA team there really isn't a good plan B floating around. Some stars do sign mailed cards and return them though. if you are planning to keep as a part of a personal collection the cards signed in person are cool as hell, but in the 'market' they aren't really given any credit at all - comes down to authenticity, proof, non-endorsed etc

 

^ good point
