Does anyone still buy/collect TRADING CARDS?

Remember when... 

...we were younger and buying basketball, baseball or football cards at lunch time, or at some other store was the cool thing to do?...  Finding a hologram inside made your day and you couldn't wait to put it in one of those hard plastic cases to keep it in "mint condition"?  Those were the days.  I remember looking soo hard for a binder and those plastic pages that held the cards in em, so that my cards would not get scratched or have the edges bent.  Man, when that happened, especially to a card that you THOUGHT would be worth a lot of money, it was a sad day.  Finding that binder seemed to save my life when i was 11 years old and I still have it today.  

I still have that Ken Griffey hologram from when he was with Seatle...a few Michael Jordans. Penny Hardaway and Shaquille O'neal rookie cards (we LOVED those rookie cards, didn't we?) and a whole host of other cards in that SAME binder.  Can you believe it?  After all these years, I still have it, full of hundreds of cards, neatly packed away, waiting for that day that I could sell them and hopefully make some money.  So, I'm writing this blog because maybe YOU collect cards or buy them and are looking for rare ones from Fleer, Topps, Upperdeck and all the other hot brands they had back then (trust, I took this seriously back then and had the hottest sh*t lol). Who even knows if these are worth much, but I just have them sitting there so I figured why not write about it and see if anyone is interested.  So, if you're looking for cards, holla at me.  If not, maybe at least I brought back some good memories for you.

When I was a kid I had all kinds of football cards they are in boxes now. I had about 200 Jerry Rice cards alone. But I just became interested in other things. I never see them in stores anymore. They used to be everywhere.
