In the United States, baseball cards collecting is a long and popular tradition for people of every age. Baseball cards are made of a type of paper stock, it contains a baseball player or sometimes a team logo, whent there´s a player, it comes batting, pitching, running, catching, or maybe just smiling to the camera. There are different types of cards, some are just the player playing normally, and sometimes it comes a funny card, with a player with a big head or some things like that.
These cards are most common in places like Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico,US, Republica dominicana etc. because in those countries they practice a lot of baseball, in Mexico its not so common, but people who like baseball can buy those cards in the US.
When I was during 7 to 12 years, I liked to see my brother´s baseball cards collection, and there were some card, in which I laugh a lot, because of the heads or of the body that was funny because of the changed body.
"There also exist cards that are very expensive because of the time they were created, there are some of the 1800´s and if they are in good condition they can cost, tens of thousands dollars, depending of the people who want to buy it" http://www.sportscardfun.com/baseball-cards.asp.
There are also some cards that are expensive because they are gold cards and they are made since 1980´s. These cards have just the face of the player smiling to the camera, is not playing or running or batting.
At the back of all cards, there comes a specific detail about the player, sometimes its hits, or a record that he have, or the teams he have been playing.
I love this hobby and if I live at the US I would have a big collection about this cards, and more about the New York Yankees.
To be honest, I don't find collecting baseball cards attractive, but old baseball card collections grab my attention. Where did your brother buy his cards? Does your brother like the New York Yankees two? If so, do you like the New York Yankees because of him? In my case, my favorite soccer team is the "Rayados" because it was my older cousin's favorite football team, and I used to admire him a lot when I was a little kid. Are these gold cards actually made of gold, or are they gold colored? Do you remember when there were soccer cards? We were in about 3rd grade, and everybody used to collect them. I remember I always waited for my mom to go to Wal-Mart and bring the bread loaf to search it for soccer cards. Did you watch the movie "El Juego Perfecto"? I loved it, I think it's too bad Mexican baseball stopped growing :/
