My goal has always been to share my love of card collecting with my children and have them enjoy it on some level. I don't expect them to have the same passion that I have, but it is something that I want to share with them.
I decided that the best way to start would to let them pick a sport and go from there. My daughter decided she preferred Basketball. I must admit that my basketball following has fallen off from what it was in my youth. As a teenager I was a big fan of Penny Hardaway and Shaq as well as Larry Johnson. I have several older cards of these players and loved following their careers. Once I started college I drifted more towards Football and Baseball. I have watched and followed Basketball very little in recent years. I know that Zion is the man right now and that the Lakers and Clippers are both pretty good.
After looking at current Basketball card sets, I decided to try a group break with a random team as a way to start. When I told my daughter that we could hit it big or we could get nothing she seemed very excited at the prospect and she is very optimistic that we will get the Pelicans. Our break is tomorrow night through Dave and Adams Card World. (This small blog is not affiliated with any store or company)
I am happy to return to a sport that I really enjoyed when I was younger and I thought that we at least get a few cards by which to start our shared collection. It will at least give us something to do on a Friday night during this crazy Pandemic. Wish us luck, I will post an update after the break.
As always thanks for reading,
Bubba
