Tennis Show Off Thread

Didn't see a general thread to post what you have. Definitely nothing good on my end but excited to see what others have.

Just getting into Tennis a bit more. Went to the US Open last week and it was an amazing experience. Live Tennis is great.

Just purchased this Roddick on COMC. Seemed like a solid price for an on card, rookie auto /999.

I pulled the Serena out of an SI for Kids magazine as a kid and kept it all these years. I wasn't into Sports cards as a kid somehow (was big into Pokemon) and this was one of the few I had held onto. Makes it a nice piece in my PC. Hoping to add more Tennis in the future.

Just curious how much were tickets to the US Open and what courts did you see?

I need to go at some point.

Paid $150 each for day 2 tickets in Louis Armstrong for the seats in the photo. Next year I'll probably take a day off work and spend the full day out there. I found this site helpful:

Very nice seats! Was that Andreescu and Paolini?

I assume the night sessions are probably more expensive.

How many matches did you see for the $150 ticket?

Yup, 2 matches total. The other match was Paul vs Sonego. Ended up leaving that one around 1am since Paul was cruising and we had a long commute back.

Good stuff!

Wiseysez · 09-06-2024, 12:36 PM

Favorite item I have in my collection that is tennis related. Haven’t seen one of these come up on eBay since an auction started the day I found it at my lcs, on a dusty shelf for $69 (iirc it was Feb 2021).

I have her pineapple incoming, and I have several other 2024 parallels, like the pink /65, lime /299, etc. She's fun to collect.

Tapeworm · 09-11-2024, 03:12 AM

Trying for a Sabalenka collection, but that's expensive these days.

Wiseysez · 09-19-2024, 05:36 PM

Just got this one in today. Two good things about last year’s set was on card autos and it included my favorite female player from my teen years.

Swingman24 · 09-19-2024, 06:14 PM

Forza! /10

Giroux · 09-19-2024, 08:09 PM

Sick stuff all!

Sinner could work on his auto a bit lol. Still a great card

I like that she is about to hit a slice on this card.

Sinner needs a better autograph. Man what is that!

The frozen is -3/0, the red sapphire is 4/5, and the Leaf auto is 08/20.

No auto, but cool pickup
