Thanks for taking a look at my Jordan cards! My collection has grown quite a bit since I posted it here a few weeks ago. I’m now at about 225 Jordan cards, with a mix of cards I owned as a kid, cards I picked up before the market took off, and a bunch of more recent additions. I've been going to card shows and trading events (there are a lot of them in NYC!).

When I was a kid in the ’90s, I was heavily into card collecting. I was 10 during the 1992-93 NBA season, so MJ was far and away my favorite player despite being a Celtics fan. I collected for a few years, stopped around high school, and got back into it a little before the pandemic. At this point I pretty much exclusively collect Jordan.

A lot of the collection goes back to when I was a kid, although the 1993 Scoring Kings and 1992 Beam Team were two cards I always wanted but could never afford on a middle school budget. I got pretty lucky and bought both around 2018 for roughly $150-200 each.

The graded cards are first, and then the raw cards in Card Savers are the ones I’ve narrowed down as my next grading candidates. The goal remains an ’86 Fleer rookie. The Kobe on the last page I found in my childhood bedroom last week - all those cards in the end I'm hoping to grade when the value tier reopens and contribute to the Fleer RC.

Let me know what you think!

I collected for a few years, and stopped around high school. I was getting back into it a little bit before the pandemic, but since his cards have exploded, I've been building the collection back up from where I left off and I now exclusively collect his cards. I sent a bunch in to be graded by PSA and am working up to the dream of an 86 Fleer rookie.

As of now, I have 205 Jordan cards. All the cards shown here were from when I was a kid, except for the 93 Scoring Kings and 92 Beam Team - which were always my absolute favorites but I could never afford them on a middle school budget. I got SUPER lucky as I bought them online in 2018 for like $150-200 each. The first photo is my whole collection, then the graded slabs, and the top loaders are the cards I'm waiting for the PSA value tier to reopen so I can get them graded. The last two pics are of an assortment of non-Jordans that I want to get graded too (and then resell to get more MJ cards!).

Let me know what you think! This is a repost from this morning - I removed the PSA certification numbers.

Spent way too much time tweaking monitor positioning, component spacing, desktop audio stability, and accessory upgrades to get everything feeling as balanced as I can. Not to mention the need for constant hardware upgrades, haha. I use the setup for an equal mix of gaming, office work when I am able to work from home, and music. There's a Denon AVR and Kanto SUB8 subwoofer under the desk, which took forever to set up correctly (Windows does not love working with real AVRs).

Many of my components were acquired over time (and well before the RAM and memory price jumps, thankfully. I was lucky). I'll never stop working on it, but I think it's at a good place right now. If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it!
