Sports Cards
Anyone here collect sports cards? I have about 4000 cards of baseball, football, hockey, and basketball cards. Most seem to be from the late 80's early 90's. They just sit here and gather dust.

Re: Sports Cards
In 1989 my ex was working for a tobacco distributorship and got caught up in the Bill Ripkin error card craze. She bought all of them she could get her hands on thinking they would be worth A LOT of money someday. Turns out those cards she paid as much as $20 each for now sell for a buck or so.
So much for my venture into baseball cards!

Re: Sports Cards
I have a few of the original 'f**k face' cards... some of the 'scratch-out' cards... and a couple of the 'white-out' cards. It seems odd that the corrected cards are worth more than the original ones. Word on the street is that Fleer did everything they could to cover their asses and devalued the cards with their influence on the collector market. Shame. If the value of these cards would have grown at the same rate in the last twenty years as it did in the first few weeks... I could have retired and forty-nine instead of fifty-nine!Stryk wrote:Ya, I have some that were worth $200-300 and are less than $50 now.
