Trading Cards are hot right now gentlemen.... HOP ON BOARD!!

[pologq]

Learned my lesson on 89 Donruss. All those cawksuckers overproduced the cards to make more coin and left all of us out to dry. Sort of like all those cawksuckers that went to China and sold the products once made here back to us. Same cawksuckers, different business. Will never buy a card ever again.

the overproduced was a dirty dirty trick but they made a killing selling those sets. i had like 6 maddux rookie cards and they are worth shit because of that.

Got back into the game a couple months ago after a 20-25 year hiatus. The cards I've bought have gone bananas. I've realized that sport cards are a great way to diversify your investment portfolio. Furthermore, those with knowledge of sports have a leg up in terms of spotting talent.

What have you been collecting? A couple years ago, I was looking up the value of some of my good cards and they were worth more 30 years ago than they are today.

[Mr KLC]

I remember when I was in high school and we got the 1984 Topps Traded set for $6 and then the 1985 one for $8 the following year. Back then we thought Dwight Gooden and Vince Coleman were going to make us rich.

One thing you must know is graded cards are worth exponentially more than ungraded(raw) cards. Condition is VERY important. I bought a bunch of Fernando Tatis PSA 10 rookies, Juan Soto and Ronald Acuna. Then bought a Kobe and Durant psa 10 rookie, a few Luka Doncic psa 9 and 10 rookies, trae young psa 10, michael porter jr psa9, john stockton rookie psa 9, Olajuwon 2nd year psa 9...that's about everything i can think of.

Opti, who is the greatest Australian baseball player of all-time? David Nilsson? Graeme Lloyd?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Holy F&ck....just looked up my 1980 Rickey Henderson PSA 9 and see it’s selling for over $800.

Think I bought it for just under $100.

I have 4 ungraded ones as well. One could be a 9, while the other two are 8’s. Guess I need to send them in for grading.

mpas, love the Rickey cards. What a player.

If u DO decide to sell, let me know if you need a buyer. Sometimes tough to get full value in the mkt.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

When I was 15 years old, I spent every penny I had on baseball cards. I was so proud of my 12 Jose Canseco Donruss rookies cards. Thought I was rich at the height of his career and the card bubble.

Although, my pride and joy was my 1984 Donruss set my parents bought me For winning the distract championship in the 400 m dash. That whole back stretch all I could think about was getting that card set (which my dad promised me if I won).

Cool story, bruh.

KLC, you'd be surprised. I think you're in good shape. 1984 retails at $60, 1985 for $40.

People dog Gooden. Guy still won 194 games. Traded sets are cool, b/c they aren't nearly as mass-produced as the main set.

Chucky....that’s the sell price on EBay. So minus the fees, that’s the going rate.

Looked through some others last night and was blown away by the prices. Unfortunately I didn’t stack up on graded cards over the years. Bought some select stuff here and there. Since I’m out on the NBA, I will sell some of that now (Duncan Chrome Rookie - PSA 9, Kobe SP Rookie - PSA 8 and a few others). Although I will keep my Hakeem rookie PSA 8 and a my Dirk Chrome PSA 8.

[Auto Donk]

any word on the demand for cards with photos of good-lookin', deep-voiced street lawyers with oversized cranks?

[Auto Donk]

wow..... glad i have this card......

looks like the wife and I can take another vacay soon.......


I'll let mine go for a mere 9K if anyone is buying.....

[Mr. Teaser]

My Dad collected cards back in the 50's and my Grandmother threw most of them out through the years but he did manage to hold on to one stack on cards which he handed down to me a while back. The cards are no where near mint though they probably are worth something. In that stack -

Mickey Mantle
Warren Spahn
Eddie Matthews
Sandy Koufax
Stan Musial
Duke Snider
Roy Campanella

Among others. I went down to see them last week and my Mom had asked me if I had sold the cards. I told her no....they will be with me on my deathbed.

[habitualwinning]

Funniest part about those old card collections is how inaccurate tops/donruss/fleer were on their picks of people as "top prospect" or "future star." Almost all the cards I had with that were some no name guy or someone that ended up with like a .220 career ba with 30 hrs. So many busts in those sets.

mpas, that Hakeem rookie is nice. 1986 Psa 8 selling for a good bit. Also, could become a boon for continent of Africa investors.

The 1986 prices are going insane. Really, to an illogical level.

From what I've seen over the past couple of months, basketball is by far the hottest and I don't see it changing anytime soon. Basketball is a much more global sport than MLB and NFl. I see buyers from numerous Asian countries and Europe in the basketball auctions on Ebay. In short, the buyer pool is much bigger.

Good to hear....maybe some Asian guy will buy my autograph rookie cards of Kwame Brown and Eddie Griffin.

Used to ride my bike into town with my paper route money @ 12/13 years old. I went there every day in the summer. Got the soda, some 88-89 fleer basketball cards and probably some other treats. LOL. Now, that 88-89 Fleer. They really didn't scam much on that. That was the 3rd year Jordan. I think I bought around 1,000 cards of that and got one Jordan card. Stockton, Rodman rookies. Pippen rookie. Pippen was hard to get too. I think they did that set right. Haven't looked at it in years! I probably bought 2-3 packs per trip. Baseball too which is the result of that 89 Donruss. Had a few different friends ride with me. The one kept saying. I don't know why you buy those stupid things. Laughing. I did laugh too, and said, I don't know why either.

had a card shop in 1993 still having a lot of inventory that I would give to someone. Have a lot of prime sports memorabilia available also including 4 foot bobblehead stadium used. Sits in front of my 8 foot signed Andre Drummond banner from the Palace wall. Recently in person received signed 10 year anniversary shoes by Barry Sanders. Tons of signatures going back to early Tigers, The Bird, Norm Cash, Al Kaline, etc. to include most of them. Can't think of his name but in early 90's took my son to Chicago for big first base player autographs and Walter Payton. The list goes on and on.

You must be a Detroiter no1here. I have a that Pro Set 1989 Sanders rookie in a screw case. LOL. Is it worth 5 bucks still? Think I got a Lions signed football I won at BW3 one time or some other place. From some radio station. Can't believe they tore the Palace down. Went to many games there. I still have my ticket stub from the game when Barry Sanders broke the rushing all-time single season record against the Jets. That might be worth more than my cards. LOL!

[hehfest]

VEGAS DAVE is the one who sold a Trout card for almost 1 million. Probably a way for him to launder money is my guess. Look at this con-artist punk brag about selling the card. It went up 600K in value in one year? What a joke. Is this jerkoff still selling mushes his mush picks?

Props, Doc. Always thought he got a bad rap. TALENT is sometimes a curse.
