Quick Basketball Auction Plug

I was finally able to get rid of all the basketball base cards that I had offered for trade previously.  Two 11-year old boys came with their Dad to pick them up after I listed them for free on Craigslist.  They were very happy and I'm glad the cards found a place where they would be appreciated.

I still have a few inserts and serial-numbered cards that I am trying to get rid of on Listia.com.  It's like a big swap-meet with people giving stuff away.  You start off with 400-500 free credits to spend, so go get some and use them!  :-)  I have posted before about some of my free Listia gets. 

Here is the stuff I have posted there....1) A lot of Serial #'d cards  2) A lot of NBA insert cards  3) A gold Lebron James Parallel

more free stuff on Listia

Check it out and go bid -- I would love for some of this to end up with one of my blog readers.

Does Anybody Collect Basketball Cards?

UPDATE:  (6/20/2012) All of the base cards were given away free on craigslist. Two 11-year-old boys came with their Dad to pick them up.  They were very excited.  :-)  I think all those cards found a good home.

I need to get rid of my basketball cards.

As I've mentioned before, I love buying card lots on Craigslist and at Garage Sales.  You get a lot of variety that way, and it's fun to sort through them and see what you got.  However, with that variety, you find that there will be stuff that does not suit your collecting goals, and it just ends up taking up valuable space.  That is where I am with basketball cards.  I have not paid attention to the NBA in years (since the early 90s), so the whole thing doesn't do much for me anymore.  My focus is narrowing to certain players (as seen on the sidebar to the right--->), so anything I have bought in these lots that is basketball needs to go. 



Lebron James - Phenomenal Beginning - 2003-04

I WANT TO TRADE THESE TO YOU.  I have pulled out all the "stars" (or at least those I considered to be stars) and serial-numbered cards and listed them below.  If you are a player-collector, LET ME KNOW.  I also have several boxes of mid-level players/commons.  If you are a team collector, HIT ME UP.  I'd be happy to sort through and pull out all the Denver Nuggets or Philadelphia 76ers (for example).  If you collect guys from a certain college....give me a list of names and I'll take a gander for you.  These mostly range from the early 90s through about 2007.  It is primarily base cards, but there are some inserts and serial numbered ones, too.  No relics/autos here. 

Allan Houston - Topps Chrome Black Refractor

Here's the list of stars along with the # of cards I have for each one.  If you want more information on what I have for a particular player, let me know.  None of these are high-dollar cards, but there are some with  COMC prices of $2-$5, so it's not all junk.  I would love to get KC Royals back in trade.  If that's not possible, I would take football or any of the basketball players shown in my want-lists.  If you wanted to do Paypal to cover shipping/supplies instead of a trade, we could probably work that out, too. Anything not spoken for will be disposed of in some as-yet-undetermined fashion.
