Anyone here still actively collect cards?Archived Message

Recently back into it strictly as a hobby (not investment) and I've had some fun browsing local shops/shows as well as Ebay to put together old Cubs team sets. There's also a lot more licensed college stuff than I remember thirty years ago. The unlicensed stuff is heavy on autographs in order to have any traction and I've amassed a decent Illini football collection. Wish I would have snagged a bunch of DeVitos after he was named starter and then it actually would have been an investment.
Bowman U hoops dropped this week and they did TSJ dirty, though I might wait before getting anything more than his base card. How do you not double-check that you have the name spelled right?
The only Illini in last year's set was Skyy Clark so not really on a good run. Anyway, just curious if anyone else still collects.
