Get your popcorn ready.


I thought he meant JJ Stokes. Maybe Tai Streets.

I had a JJ Stokes football card with lightning and #*#* all over it when I was like 10

I think it was an "action packed"... Joint went hard.

When Hakeem Nicks had a disturbingly low score that made big news.

 I had the same $%%* but the ones I had were Stan Humphries and Larry Centers

 

[dmxfury]

I always though JJ was going to be so good because

A I liked his name
B His football rookie cards with him at UCLA were sweet
C He played for SF and all WRs were good (in my mind)

I agree. I had felt bad for guys like Dalton and Green before the season thinking they were going to be trapped in football's abyss, but they've done well so far. Maybe Cincinnati turned a corner.

A rookie QB showing more leadership than Carson Palmer EVER has. Dalton doesn't have the arm that Palmer had, but his leadership is so much better than CP's already. The linemen really have tried not to throw CP under the bus, but you can even tell in their statements. Getting rid of Palmer and Ocho were probably the best decisions Mike Brown could've made. Now we need to get rid of Ced Benson next year

It has to be impossible to do that now. At least I hope so. It seems Mikey has given Marvin more say so and there aren't any massive egos around. Cedric could be though.I wonder how Keith Rivers will fit back into this team.

 

[651akathepaul]

I agree on Carson's leadership. It was lacking, but that team was at least credible for second until the unraveling. It just seems to be the Cincinnati way. I like this new direction though.

 

[dmxfury]

Weren't those gold Action Packed cards raised and '3D'?


RKO, you know Mike can still find a way to screw this team up. For as genius as his dad was, he is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum

 

[gunna get it]

its easy to step on Carson's leadership but he put up and went thru 300 times more than Dalton.

Carson Palmer had to deal with +*%* ownership, bad draft picks and selfish WRs.

there's only so much someone can take.  


Lets see what Dalton is made of after a couple years and some adversity.

Yup raised letters and players

I coulda swore I had the best card on the market when i was 9.

That Deion card went hard... I remember sittin on my grandmas stairs checkin it out after my mom copped me a pack at the mall.

 

[dmxfury]

The only bad thing was with how thick the cards were you only got like 9 a pack instead of 15 or so. I need to get my card collection out and look at it, I swore as a kid it would make me rich (unfortunately we all thought that)

 

[CP1708]

Yeah I musta had 250+  boxes of cards, 30 or so binders, 10 monster boxes, TONS of cards.  I spent I dunno......50,000 maybe more maybe less in my lifetime on cards. 

Sold all of em minus maybe 500 cards,  for about 650 bucks total. 

 

 

[ag 47]

You guys collected trading cards? Wow, I feel young.

 

[proshares]

Yea I have all of those bad boys in storage

might dig em out one day soon. Can't bring myself to sell em.

 

[Hahahaha]

SMH, I felt the same way as a kid. I still got the cards with him making all these crazy catches and acrobatic moves to stay in bounds

naw its past sellin em at this point... I couldn't do it... Imma save these things forever.  I got like a full set of the whole team of the Jags the first year they came into the league.

I have so many cards from my childhood, not selling them. Spent way too much just to make a hundred or two. 

 

[651akathepaul]

All my cards are locked in a chest in my parents storage. Waiting to bust those out in 20 years or so to reminisce.

It's kind of sad to see trading cards fall off. Trips to the card shop were always so exciting.

 

[airmaxpenny1]

My pops has some really nice baseball cards that I'm set to acquire eventually.  Said he has like 5 times more but my grandma through them out after he went to college.  Still got multiple Robinson, Mays, Mantle cards though and some other pretty great ones.

I've been meaning to get around to making a sports memrobilia thread one of these days, just kind of have slacked on it.

I think Carson had some leadership, it just got washed away by Chad, Mike Brown, Marvin, TJ, T.O AND etc.

Plus the O-Line was never rebuilt post Willie, Rich Braham and Stienbach leaving.

Sometimes enough is enough. It was a circus.

I liked Carson and still do but I like this new team so we're moving along.

 

[651akathepaul]

Agree with the crap Carson went through. Took its toll and Marvins leadership needed to be questioned too. That receiver crew did as they liked and never took accountability. Pisses me off, because I'm still certain Carson could be an above average quarterback on another team. Not sure how a year off changes that.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Man, I was hooked on sports cards back when I was younger.

I have a card shop around the way, so any time I got money I went straight there.

at how much I spent over the years.
