It's true, I remember seeing these in the stores again many years later. I know I bought a couple just for the nostalgia.

.

I think I spent like $30-$40 in quarters to get the one Jax helmet

you could see it like in the middle of the machine

[TommieGunshot]

I think they did that on purpose and shorted the local teams in those machines, just to get kids to spend more fukkin quarters.

I could be wrong, but did you guys notice that where you lived?

If it was completely random, it would take an estimated 95 tries to complete a 26 team set, or 108 tries to complete a 28 team set. Even without any artificial rarities, taking a long time to complete a set would still be noticeable.

one set of pencils took me tons

my parents told me to go talk to the office and see if i could pick out pencils that i needed

[Louisvillekid1]

the helmets I’m talking about were also from machine

Never “in stores”

I used to be heavy in sports cards

spent all my money on that shit

would walk around neighborhood with lawnmower / snow shovel

to get money for it

the card shows at the malls , Was the best thing ever

do you have any left?

i hope you werent the era where they are just giving away the baseball cards

[KnuckleHeadz]

Not anymore.

Remember I told you I was ALSO into pencil fighting?

Did your school use to have the ball/game shed out on the black top? Back in the day they use to always have those old school wooden pencil boxes that cost a 25c

[JIBBBY]

Lol I remember that.. Ha ha.. Barely I was really young when I was collection those helmets or something similar to that.. Thinking I was like 10 years old or something..

[RudyRuetigger]

great time

so jibby you are like on medicare now?

[Louisvillekid1]

do you have any left?

No the market went down of course dramatically once it got over populated

but I liked to collect certain players so just tried to get as many as I could

then they started with the grading

it’s been over 20 years since I bought anything

My Peyton Manning rookie card collection is prob the most valuable

Got everyone

man I used to even play magic when I a kid

and I made money off Pokémon cards

i was hustling anything I could lol

but no I don’t have any helmets anymore

and couldn’t even guess where they went

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I remember doing that too. You could CLEARLY see that one helmet you want and need and had to have it.

[Louisvillekid1]

Your not young?

jeez man , don’t be an oldEr troll

i thought you were a punk kid that didn’t know better

[Louisvillekid1]

I remember doing that too. You could CLEARLY see that one helmet you want and need and had to have it.

It would never move lol!

[Hman]

Yes

Then years later they sold them in a set

The good thing is that I had friends that also collected these helmets, so we could trade each other our doubles.

I doubt Rudy had any friends to trade with so no doubt he spent a lot more money than me to complete a set.

[b1slickguy]

Did you guys also collect the bigger ones, that were flat on top so you can turn them over and use them as a bowl and eat ice cream out of them like a fat fuk?

Used to get these at Dairy Queen in the 80's.
Also used to get QuikTrip Kansas City Chiefs football cards around the same time.
The good ol' days.

[JIBBBY]

great time

so jibby you are like on medicare now?

I'm 52 ya bastard.. Alive and still kicking.. Going strong bud!!

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Yes

Then years later they sold them in a set

I remember that, but I never bought the set.

That was like a slap in the face.

And no fun. It was way more fun to put the set together one by one.

I did the same thing with sports cards, even though sets were available for purchase, I would still buy packs and build the sets myself.

[Bcatswin]

Dags my bud nice thread, blast from the past. I got sets of them and MLB. Would hate to get same ones over n over. i got em in boxes somewhere will look tomorrow.

When i first read the title of the thread thought it was gonna be these.

[RudyRuetigger]

wow what a low blow


then i start talking shit to you

and all of a sudden im the bad guy and banned


seen it too many times daggles


i would have a 10k loan if not for fukkwads like yourself

Def the only way to do it, i would never go in a shop and buy a set already completed. Card business has changed so much.

[mcmc]

for sell or just pictures?

I think just for nostalgia, but I have combed Craigslist after for sports cards and other collectibles

[Bcatswin]

I didn't really collect these, Go to a Reds game could get a Reds one and whoever the opposing team was.
