1980, I'm old now. lol

I just bought my 13 year old son a subscription to lowrider magazine for 12 months $20 bucks.

I remember buying that shit and streetlow at the corner store when I was his age and my obsesion with what kind of old school I was going to get then turning to the page with the rims and fantizing about the rims I would I get.

I told my son you want to build a lowrider bike this summer. He was like what ever. lol

-------------

Another thing I've noticed, my son is 13 and his mother who I'm no longer with doesnt think he's old enough to ride bart a couple stops over in the burbs. When I was 13 I was all over bart and AC Transit.

Now its all about saints row, what happened to double dragon lol

No your right streetlow wasnt around when I was a kid it came out later when I was in my late teens early 20s I just threw them in there cuz its the same type of magazine.

I just remember being all about lowriders, hanging around my mom's friends body shop but now adays kids dont even give a shit about anything but video games.

Shit I was all about the Bash Brothers and the A's had Ricky Hendersons autograph and that was my prized posesion. lol

Now all the kids do is stay in the house

My mom threw away all of my baseball cards when I moved with my dad. Or sold them and lied about throwing them away. Either way it pisses me off. Then, my dad tossed a bunch of my football cards.

I have always kept my 1989 Score Barry Sanders Rookie card which the whole set dropped like crazy and it's barely worth anything now. And I have a Mark McGwire autograph on a ticket stub from the season he hit 70. That's about it.

1984- I STILL collect cards. They made way too many in the 80s and 90s though and the value dropped hard on almost everything. The only shit worth anything now as far as new cards go are autos and serial numbers. I still love the feel of a waxy ass pack of 80s baseball cards.

Ya man I cant see kids gettin on the trend, older people all put me onto cards because they did have such a great value at one time, but I got really good memories as a kid and my dad comin home once in a while with a pack of cards, I have some good ones too but kinda worthless without the autograph as it is

as soon as baseball cards stopped being made out of cardboard they took a huge L to their value. the market became saturated with the "new" glossy style.



might aswell keep them if you still got em.

It almost seems like some asshole had like thousands of boxes of all those sets in the 80's and 90's in a safe and decided he didn't care about sports and gave them away and flooded the market with them with mint condition cards. That Barry Sanders I have went from $225 to like 20 bucks in a couple years time. Troy Aikman, Deion Sanders etc..., those cards are worth like .50 from that same set now.

I have like 10 autographed baseballs that haven't aged very well which is pissing me off too. They are in plastic cases and they're not doing too well. I have a Matt Kemp, Jeff Kent, Rollie Fingers and Fernando Valenzuela. Those are probably the only ones worth anything

my daughter started collecting Yugioh cards when she was like 5 maybe. a couple years later she got into Hollywood Zombies cards. then quickly into Wacky Packages. then she started fuckin with the original 80's packs of Garbage Pail Kids. she got pretty deep in that one and gained a respect for the GPK's that us 80's babies had/have. she damn near 13 now and dont collect cards but she still has all them cards throught the years in her card binders. and shes always down to stop ina comic shop to see if they have any 80's GPK's.

i think Topps did all those mentioned except Yugioh who Upper Deck brang to America. them cats aint leavin a game that has a big market.
