Any of you guys collect cards?

Found this really cool Barkley Fleer 1990 error card

You see the 1st year FG % is off centered. Wonder if it’s worth something

I would classify that as a printing error although that might not be the correct term assuming the info is correct, it is just slightly off centered. My guess is that the card's value would not go up because of this.

Too many people pay for the grade not the card.
Rather have the rarer PSA 9 than a common card PSA 10 of the same player especially modern cards.

Especially since PSA 10s are not perfect.

I crossed over BGS's 9s to PSA 10s.
Difference can be. $10k to $35k.

Think about that. Same card.

Some older cards. All have a few flaws for certain....

The Reggie 10 in upper right is not a grade. LOL. It's a estimated price about 30 years ago. 10 bucks. The GB card the case I scratched with a knife to get the sticker off of it. Its not banged up its the case but it still has issues.

Just purchased a Puka Leaf Metal /5 at a great price!

Iga got her first auto cards in Goodwin.
Been waiting for a while for her cards.

NBA market is so bad is players can score 50 points every game and their cards won't go up.

Billy, think about if you had held all those in Mint condition.

69 Topps Brooks Robinson card that he autographed for me back in mid 2000's when he was part owner of local baseball team So MD Blue Crabs

[JIBBBY]

I've thought about collecting more rare coins. Got a few. They are cool to look at and touch for sure. Real part of US history!

That's all I got. No cards for this guy.

I have that card, but mine is in poor condition and not autographed. Back in the 80's my brother and I used to mail cards to the stadiums c/o the player we were hoping to receive autographs from. We'd send one card in a sleeve protected with a Donruss puzzle piece card along with a handwritten letter. We only received a handful back from the dozens sent. I remember in 1985 Oddibe McDowell and Teddy Higuera responded back to both of us. Good times.

I have a garage sale story with rare rookie cards in a shoe box to tell. I could shoot myself today in the head for what I did as a 14 year old punk kid.

The story -

I gathered many Topps playing cards and others. Especially rookie cards for the Dallas Cowboys as a kid. Other famous name rookie cards as well. I filled up an entire shoe box full of cards. Keep in mind I'm 55 years old today and 14 years old back then. Some of the TOPPS cards were passed down to me from my father also. So at age 14 my mother and siblings had a front yard garage sale, sure enough I brought out my shoe box full of old and new player cards. Put a sale tag for $20 for the entire box of players cards.

Sure enough they sold immediately, the old guy couldn't get off my lawn fast enough after buying them, but I had a $20 bill in my hand. I was happy as can be as a kid back then. A few years later I grew up and understood what a mistake I made.

Today I am angry as hell for doing that. Today all those player cards I had would probably be worth a small fortune if I had kept them in good shape.. Errrrr!


TRUE STORY! Had a couple of these if I remember correctly.

That's a great card.
My favorite has always been Garvey from the '71 set.

The Garvey Rook gets a lot of attention from 1971. Fan favorite.

So question. Does it matter what sequence you get a card if it’s numbered to 99 (IE. is the #19 more valuable than the #59. Just curious

Billy Bob is that fundraiser a move to gain back the cards you pissed away. You gave them all to some 2 bit whore for a titty touch?

LMFAO if the player signed the card and just kept it for himself.

Not really but if you get the jersey # of the player then it commands a bit more.

1797 British Penny here. Thing is big and heavy too for a penny. I would have to look again but pretty sure it says "Britannia" and the back says something as well.

I guess a penny in 1797 went a long way in Britain. Lol..


American copper penny was still small in that same time frame but retro with the flowing hair. This was a real American penny coin back in the day.

Just bought a couple Mario rookies. Don't think I ever had the OPC rook b4.

Some of the prices on hi-end items are too low. Precursor to a recession? Collectors liquidating their items to pay for bills?

I spoke to a collector-friend of mine. He says that a lot of dealers are underwater to the tune of 60%+. IE, they might be holding $40,000 current market value on items they paid $100,000 for.

If you want a mid-grade Gretzky rookie, can find one for $1000 to $1200. This is too low (IMHO).

I scout out bargains on Holy Grail cards like:
*1969 Alcindor
*1979 Gretzky
*1980 Bird/Magic

...If the prices look too low to me, I'm not afraid to Buy.

[JIBBBY]

If you own any of these 3 cards in mint condition you just hit the lotto.. These are the highest priced trading cards in history.

This is like 149.99 on ebay in canuck bucks. Better shape than mine of course. King George the 3rd engraved. I have some old German coins too a bunch of them and in better shape. Far before the Great 3rd Reich! Yeah, got them all free. Grandpas. Probably were like that when they got them too.

Has to be something like this in a storage unit that someone forecloses on......

Nice card...those paper cards(especially older ones) are very hard grades even when they look perfect. That one looks slightly off centered top to bottom but overall looks nice.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Wish I would have ware-housed one box from each set that I opened. Would have had some nice stuff.

I don't really like that BBBC signs off on the authenticity of un-opened packs. How do they know? Big sur-charge when BBBC stamps it.

Lastly, this is the type of item that should arguably NEVER be opened. Opening old packs = fools' gold. Scarce item, expected value (opened cards) is much less. Like searching for a needle in a haystack.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

My current PSA submission is almost complete and should get them back in next few weeks.

47 cards and only 10 are mine and the rest are my neighbors.

Might make a short video with the results when they arrive if you guys have any interest.
