I want to show you my newest sports card...

[arrowheadnation]

The sports card market is absolutely booming right now. I sold off enough of my other stuff to buy this. There are only 10 of them. It is indescribably beautiful.

Yep. I couldn't believe it. Persistence paid off.

I can see that sentiment. What made me think about the whole thing was all the Panini Black Box 1/1's they gave out at the National.

I watched a movie the other day where a character had a valuable sports card, and it prompted me to look up valuable football cards. I saw that the 1975 Walter Payton rookie card is valuable, and I thought, "I have that one." So I dug around in the closet, and sure enough, I have it.

Anyone got an idea how this would grade out? When I looked at it I thought it was pretty much perfect, but when I took photos I can see a few imperfections around the edges.

i don't know what the grade is, but i will die if i don't find out who the mystery bear is.

You may have a gambling problem.

We used to pass casino cash around a lot, but it's been ages. I don't remember how now.

I'll give you a hint for free. He played defense.

There's a button in the casino to transfer money. I have paid your debts, and you are now a free man. Perhaps at some point in the future I will request that you do me a favor in return.

Ditka was a tight end, which is a position that traditionally plays offense.

This player was a pro bowler.

Its a card I would totally treasure, but if you check eBay on what its going for... you'll probably be disappointed

Sooo many great old cards like that have been devalued to the point of absurdity, just hang onto it and pass it down

Getting warmer. It's a front seven player. Not a Hall of Famer. He had a short run of dominance.

It seems like there are decent but trivial prices for decent cards, and then it goes up exponentially as you approach perfection. This card's really good looking so I would think it's on the upper end of the range. But I think it's not at the top-end range where I can buy a car.
