As you ask our opinion, let me humbly represent mine:
I\'d rather not. Football cards pass by. What if those are golden? They\'re still piece of paper.
They\'re just over-priced that\'s all. And are you so sure you can get a new playstation 2 rightaway? If you can, then go ahead.
But I do remember when I was little, I collected Ice-hockey cards. I spent about 3 years collecting them, and I spent ALL my money into them. When I just got an opportunity, I ran to a shop and bought few booster packs. They were around 4-5 dollars each.
Eventually, I had thousands of cards, most of them completely worthless, aided with few "jewels". I never got really pricy cards, but I still loved to collect them... it was like opening a christmas-present.
Life was like a pack of cards... you never knew what you were going to get[/i]
But then I got bored, and never bought cards anymore. And those cards still are somewhere in a stash, and I still wonder what went to me and my friends and why exactly we collected those piece of papers?
