Only briefly. The nephew does football cards, but they were all new and boring. So, for Xmas I went on a Marketplace/Ebay run with the goal of assembling the 85-86 Bears. Ended up with an album of Chicago players spanning the late 60s to about 2013.

Is that still a thing? I thought that fad went away like Beanie Babies.

Yeah it is, they move too, so full time $flipping is a possibility if you're good but i get attached too easily

My sister's friend bought me the entire set, 750 cards IIRC, of the 1984 TOPPS collection. Sat in my closet for a few years and I gave them all to my nephew in 1987 when I left to join the Navy. Prolly worth a load of $$$.

Edited: It was 1984 because it had Roger Clemens and Darryl Strawberry's rookie cards. Plus the olympic baseball team.

not a Bears fan either. Rams have not had too many memorable games vs Bears over the years, except for that Singletary hit on Dickerson game...the horror of that memory. I did admire Walter Payton tho...but not that jackalope QB who wore a too tighty whitey head band...
