Recently I've got back into basketball cards. I was an avid collector back in my younger days in the early 90s. Back when Fleer, Ultra Fleer, Topps and Upper Deck ruled. The Card Shaq was a regular hangout in Pitt St Mall, opposite Rebel. Decades removed, I've found basketball cards' values have skyrocketed. My old cards not so much because print runs were saturated. These days, boxes cost $500 and some at over $6K. So anyways, I've got involved into box breaks and watch them online. But my question is, where does a Sydneysider buy packets from in-store? Seems like Melbourne and Perth have some shops and hot spots but Sydney is zilch?
Does Anyone Collect Basketball Cards?

That’s gold. I still have all my cards. I almost certainly have this one!
I'll have to have a dig around!
try Hoopsta on facebook
will give them a follow!
I can still smell that new card smell.
I went into a rabbit hole of old NBA memorabilia one night on eBay. The amount of people selling UNOPENED packs of basketball cards from the 90’s was staggering.
indeed - unfortunately most of these unopened packs are barely worth anything because of how mass produced they were. Completely different landscape nowadays.
Check if you have the Menendez Brothers Mark Jackson hoops card! I threw 10,000s of cards out but that one is valuable. Think I would have had a dozen Mark Jacksons,
