Collecting AFL & NRL Football Cards
Football cards are the most widely collected of all sports memorabilia available, and there are a few basic rules to keep in mind as you venture into the world of footy card collecting to make your card collection experience enjoyable, especially if you are collecting AFL footy cards or NRL footy cards.
Rule number one: Have fun. Collect for fun, not for profit. Although you may one-day be able to make a profit on the cards you buy now, the true value of footy cards is in the enjoyment they bring you today.
Rule number two: Try to concentrate your collecting to a specific area of interest. Collect footy cards you enjoy and in which you’re interested. If you like AFL, collect AFL footy cards, and if you like NRL, collect NRL footy cards.
Rule number three: Look everywhere until you find reliable sources or dealers with whom you are comfortable. Take it slowly. Enjoy your search. Take the time to discover new and exciting cards.
Rule number four: Take good care to protect your collection by using nothing but the best in footy card protection from Ultra Pro, and finally,
Rule number five: Don’t forget rule number one!
