After more than a year of posting about my trading cards hobby at this web site, I have decided to create a niche site. A new one dedicated solely to sports cards.
I feel that creating one will allow me to post anything and everything about sports cards, specifically basketball sports cards.
This will also declutter Hakuna Matata! to focus on sports and entertainment news and less of my personal what-nots.
I titled the new site as simply Basketball Sports Cards.
Why?
Because it’s concentrated on just basketball trading cards alone.
As an avid fan of the NBA, I have been collecting basketball trading cards since 1996.
I suggest you read my blog post titled My NBA Trading Cards Hobby on my old web site on how I happened to stumble into this hobby.
At this niche site, I will post my box breaks, my mail days and showcase my collections as well as write any news about the sports trading cards hobby.
I also hope to create more interaction with fellow collectors and hope to make a trade or two.
Just click on the image below to be directed to Basketball Sports Cards.
See you!
