I'm a card collector and have collected sports cards for the last 20 years.  I own almost 40 rookie Lebron James cards.
Wow, that's impressive! I enjoy collecting as well, but you could make a lot of money selling them, some cards can go for 500,000!
I know, but I don't plan on selling them.  I hold them dear to my heart since I'm nostalgic about a lot of the cards I own.  My favorite cards I own are my 3 rookie Michael Jordan cards.
Oh my, you sure are a collector then, they started being made in the mid 1900s, what's the earliest card you have?
My oldest card I have is a rookie Lew Alcindor, who as you may know changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.  Which makes that card extra special to me.  I received that one from my dad.
That sure is a unique one, he dominated the game in the 70's and 80s, what was your favorite team to collect cards for?
I really enjoy collecting the Cavaliers cards since they're my favorite team.  But I collect every teams player cards.  It creates a special connection and makes me feel like I'm part of the game in a way since I love basketball.
Yeah for sure, I love basketball as well, i enjoyed watching the early NBA games when they first started airing in the mid 1900s, do you prefer the older games or the modern day games?
I prefer the older style of play compared to today's game.  But, the athleticism of the players playing today is insane.  The older basketball didn't have the level of athletes we see in today's modern game.
Yeah but even some of todays athletes cant keep up with some of the record set back in the day, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored a whole 38,387 points!
The game has changed some much!  Bigger players dominated back then, now it's about being able to shoot and be quick.
