Right.
So, a possession is an object that is owned by a noun.
For example, the house is the possession in this sentence:
We went to Jane's house.
OpenStudy (irrati0nal):
Is "I" owned by a noun?
OpenStudy (yinshy):
no i dont think so
OpenStudy (irrati0nal):
So we can eliminate that.
OpenStudy (yinshy):
sooooo D then?

Not quite. The direct object is the sports cards.
I is a subject.
Predicate nominatives basically rename a subject, for example "he" is a predicate nominative for "James" in this sentence:
He and I went to the park yesterday.
OpenStudy (yinshy):
ohhhh
OpenStudy (irrati0nal):
So have you found your answer?
OpenStudy (yinshy):
subject?
