ANYBODY COLLECT SPORTS CARDS?!...
- Thread starter P.E.
- Start date
I had a full-blown business sellin cards on eBay up until a couple years ago... started off just sellin parts of my collection I didnt want anymore (I had accumulated over 1 million cards, mostly football & baseball). Then I started flippin cards, buyin em for cheap as shit & sellin em for 2-4 X profit on eBay. Ended up with like 2000 feedback, but it got to the point where I hit a wall & couldnt pay my damn eBay fee (it didnt help they kept raisin the listing fees & shit).. so I ended up with a $600 eBay bill I didnt pay until last year..
but yea, if you buy a Beckett to get an idea of what your cards are worth, you might as well divide the Beckett price by 7 because that would be the actual value... at most pretty much every card sells for 15% or less Beckett on eBay... unless its 1910's-1960's star baseball cards which still command premium, or the UPPER TIER rookies from the past 30 years / autos / serial numbered inserts... those still go for like half Beckett or more depending on what player / card it is.
I still have about 10,000 cards that meant the most to me... 4 T206 from 1909-1911 in good condition, hundreds of autos (Mays, Killebrew, Aaron, Favre, Manning, Payton).. couple thousand rookies.. Hank Aaron 3rd year Topps in good shape, Killebrew rookie... yea. Cards like those I don't see dropping significantly in value, altho they probably wont increase significantly either. Somethin to give the kids when they're a lil older.

let me tell you why those late 80s and whole entire 90s cards are worthless, is cuz most of them were counterfieted, so you do not know which ones are authentic, it is very hard to tell. so nobody wants to risk their money buying a card, when later on they realize its a fake card.
more than liekly your cards are worthless and id suggest using them to light up blunts, lighting candles and poppurri for a bubble bath or using them as coasters. if they were a lil softer, id use them to wipe my ass, but the way they were tough, it would make my hemmroids act up.

Funny this was brought up, because my Moms just brought over some old boxes she found in her shed with my old Sports Cards. They are mostly all from the early to mid 80's. I looked through them today and found Carl Yastrzemski, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Franco Harris, Mike Singletary, Mean Joe Greene, Earl Campbell, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, a couple Mark McGuire (Rookie), Pete Rose, Cal Ripken, Walter Payton, Lawrence Taylor and the list goes on...
