We had a Pen Machine in Middle School, 50 Cents and you got a MLB or NFL Team. Nothing was worse than Marlins or Jaquars lol.

Marlins had just come off a WS win though when I was that age, so Marlins > Plus I liked the colors and mascot lol.

I could see the putridness of owning anything Marlins related at any other time though lol

That's how the rapper spells it, since his name is Chris.. not actual spelling..
But anyways, I don't buy packs or anything, but I've scored some nice singles on 3bay
Stuff I have/had:

Michael Turner (Falcons) Topps Supreme relics, game-used jersey (1 color) + auto, #4/5
Devonta Freeman (Falcons) Topps Platinum black refractor player-worn jersey (3 color) + Auto, #36/125
Harry Douglas (Falcons) Donruss Absolute Spectrum, 3 patches (3 color patch, 2 color patch, and Football patch) + auto, #3/10
Desmond Trufant (Falcons) Panini Absolute Spectrum silver refractor Rookie auto, #14/25
Breshad Perriman (Ravens) Topps FIRE Rookie player-worn jersey (3 color) + Auto, #'d 1/100
Desmond Trufant (Falcons) Topps platinum Auto (on-card)
Ricardo Allen (Falcons) Panini Rookie player-worn NFL draft Hat card.

Autos (personally received):
Andruw Jones (Braves)
Deion Sanders (Falcons) RC
Deion Sanders (Falcons) (Signed Prime Time under normal signature)
Joe Nathan (Giants) RC
Paul Molitor (Twins)
Brad Radke (Twins)
Christian Guzman (Twins)
Jayson Werth (Nationals)
Gio Gonzalez (Nationals)
Tons of other Twins, Rays, and Braves that I can't remember. I lived in FL for most my "growing-up" so I went to a ton of Rays games and my best friend was a Twins fan so we went to them all.. and Braves when they were interleague.

Not bad, I'm a Fan of Turner, I'm from Northen Illinois (NIU) so always rooted for him. Was glad he finally got a shot in ATL.

Only collect the serial #'d autos and relics anymore. Sometimes short prints depending on the player.

I usually place bids on eBay, so I get a lot for good prices.

I also have the Rangers Topps Now cards from this season.

Do you like the Topps Now program? I wanted to do it, but feel like Ive missed the boat for the most part. Plus at $10 each or so seems a little steep unless you commit and get lots of 5 or whatever to lower it to $5/$6 a card.

Some of them I have gotten for cheaper on the BAY I think those people are buying the big lots and change pricing based on demand. The preorders on there are cheaper usually. The only thing I'd want changed is since they are limited edition cards, I wish they would put serial #'s on them. But that's just me.

I stick to rcs, autos, sns, and some old nostalgic cards

I just go on the bay every once in a while and buy

Current favorite card is a 1955 bowman color tv Hank Aaron I picked up
