Okay, so I got into this whole Tiger Woods collector cards thing a while back. It all started when I was cleaning out my attic and stumbled upon my old card collection. I had completely forgotten about it!

I dusted off the binders and started flipping through. Mostly baseball and basketball, the usual stuff. But then, tucked away in the back, I found a few golf cards, including a couple of Tiger Woods rookies. That’s when the spark ignited.
Diving into Research
First thing I did was hit up the internet. I mean, who knew what these things were even worth? I started searching for “Tiger Woods rookie cards” and “valuable golf cards.” My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw some of the prices!
I spent hours, days even, just reading forums, watching videos, and checking out online price guides. It was like a whole new world had opened up. I learned about different sets, variations, grading companies… it was a lot to take in.
Building the Collection
- I decided to focus on finding cards in good condition.
- I scoured local card shops, flea markets, and online marketplaces.
- I learned the hard way about grading, had to be very careful!
- I picked up a few more Tiger Woods cards, some graded, some not.
- I felt a little bit silly!
It’s been a fun ride so far. It’s not just about the potential value, it’s the thrill of the hunt, the history behind the cards, and the connection to a sports legend. I’ve even connected with other collectors online, swapping stories and tips. Who knew this dusty old box in my attic would lead to all this?
