Dear Babe: I have collected a lot of cards over the years. I would like to know if
I should try to collect cards needed to complete sets or just sell the cards I have that
have value. Also, when it comes to storing cards, I know boxes are cheaper, but it makes
it harder to see what you have, not to mention the chance of damaging a card putting it
into or taking it out of the box. Putting them in binders is more expensive, but they're
easier to view.

Two good questions that aren't focused on the value of an item. Good job. Certainly when
it comes to your commons, they're only worth something when they are part of a set. But
most sets from the late 1980s and into the 1990s aren't worth that much. I don't give
advice on buying and selling, but I've told others they can try to sell off the valuable
cards or use the commons in a package deal. They're probably worth more if you itemize
on your taxes. You can donate them to a children's ward at a hospital or to special
education teachers in your area and then write off the donation.

Just in time for the U.S. Open, Ace Authentic recently released its 2005 Signature Series
set - essentially the first "high end" tennis card set, with all the bells and
whistles collectors have come to associate with baseball, basketball, football and hockey
issues.
The Florida-based company made a name for itself selling posters, photos, calendars, apparel,
autographs and other tennis memorabilia before issuing its first officially-licensed tennis
card set early this year, taking over for the defunct NetPro company.

Josh, a typical 13-year-old kid, rushes into his local 7-Eleven with a fist full of money he earned
from mowing lawns that day. He quickly walks up to the counter and purchases $30 worth of scratch-off
lottery tickets from the store clerk. Josh promptly scratches the tickets, one after another, discarding
the losing tickets to the side. Consequentially, one of the tickets produces $50 in winnings. The $50
ticket is immediately turned in for another $50 in tickets and the process is repeated.
Does a 13-year-old boy scratching lottery tickets sound legitimate to you? Well, a similar process occurs
daily in the sports card industry. In my opinion, it's hard to see the difference between buying a lottery
ticket at a convenience store and a premium pack of collector cards. Sound silly? Not so fast.

The 2005 Ace Authentic Debut Edition tennis trading card factory set, produced by Ace
Authentic of Tampa, Florida, arrived on the market in January offering the first officially
licensed tennis cards since the 2003 NetPro products.
Building on previous tennis card products, the new cards from Ace have a nearly identical design
to the NetPro Premier Edition set. Cards in the Debut Edition set feature a standard front design
that integrates the player's name, country name and country flag over a full-bleed, color action shot.
The card backs follow a standard design of player vitals; career statistics including tour record,
rankings and prize money; career highlights; and the card numbers. The back also includes a small
black-and-white headshot of each player.
