Default 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.

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).

Default Victoria Azarenka Collection

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

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

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.
