Do you collect The AFL footy trading cards?

Question

I have since 1981, and I have a series from 1952.

Answer 1

Hi Big Kev,

A friend of mine has a large box full of thousands footy cards  in it!

He picked them up from a garage sale a while ago, someone must have been mad on collecting them.

I reckon some of them might be worth some money nowadays.

Answer 2

Great collection and hobby Big Kev well done,  over  the last 2 years I have picked up the "Herald Sun"cards , supposedly for the Grandson's , but haven't passed them on as yet ..lol.   My best collection is a signed Tommy Hafey adidas T shirt ,and the 12 VFL jumpers, which includes a Mathews Hawthorn No 3, a Neville Bruns Geelong 19, (still blood stained)  LenThompson Collingwood  No 1 (1978) Phil Carman No 31 Melbourne (1979),  Francois Bourke No 30 Richmond (1980) and David Young No 14 Sth Melb ...to name a few .

Added to that about 24 country league jumpers..   Unfortunately, no Crows jumper as yet Big Kev .
