Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another one of my little adventures. This time, I got into collecting 1983 Topps baseball cards. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride!
Getting Started
So, I started this whole thing because, well, I’ve always been a bit of a baseball nut. And 1983 Topps cards? They’re classic! I remembered seeing these cards when I was a kid, and that nostalgia just hit me hard. I figured, why not try to collect them all?
The Hunt Begins
First thing I did was hit up the internet. I searched for anything and everything about 1983 Topps baseball cards. Apparently, there are 792 cards in the set. That’s a lot of cards! I learned that some of these cards can be worth a bit of money, especially if they’re in good condition. Some names that are in bold print means they are big shots, you know what I mean? I also found out that Topps is like, the big name in baseball cards. They’ve got all the licenses and stuff, so their cards are the real deal.
Checking the Prices
I headed over to some website called PSAcard or something, just like the instructions I found online. You can check the prices of your cards there. It’s pretty neat, you just type in the year, the maker, and the player’s name. It’s way better if you also put in the card number. It gives you a rough idea of what your cards are worth. I spent a good few hours just looking up different cards and their values. It was like a treasure hunt!
Making My Collection
- I started buying a few packs here and there.
- I found some good deals online. I mean, who doesn’t love a good bargain, right?
- I even traded a few cards with some other collectors I met online.
My Thoughts So Far
This whole experience has been a blast. It’s not just about the money, though that’s a nice bonus. It’s about the thrill of the hunt, the joy of finding a rare card, and the memories these cards bring back. I’m still working on completing the set, but I’m in no rush. It’s all about the journey, you know? Plus, keeping these cards in good shape is important. I heard that getting them graded by some pros can really bump up their value. Might look into that later on.
Anyways, that’s my story so far with 1983 Topps baseball cards. It’s been fun, and I’m excited to see where this little hobby takes me. If any of you guys are into collecting, hit me up! Let’s talk cards!
