    Unfortunately nothing.

    Everything from 1985 through 2002 is considered junk wax and most collectors lost their life savings investing in overproduced cardboard.

    Buy 1950s baseball.. It's like trading federal bonds its so stable.

    There will always be people wanting to own Mantle, Mays, Williams, Dimaggio, etc type star cards.. It was when the hobby was more scarce and now hence more collectable.

    Probably less than what you've purchased them for. Unfortunately no one collects cards anymore.

    Its true baseball card collection has died they are not worth much, your 1988 topps box set is going for a starting bid of $2.99 on ebay. So there worth about 18 betpoints

    I was in a coin/card shop a few weeks ago and heard the owner tell a guy that anything after 1975 is basically worthless. He said they have a 20'x40' storage unit full of them and won't even take anymore for free, and certainly isn't buying them. He suggested keeping them for grandchildren to play with and what not, but as far as value goes, you might as well drop them off at a recycling facility.

    Yea, as a collector myself, the hobby just isnt what it used to be. All the value is in auto's now. People dont even want the jersey cards anymore.

    the best thing you can do is open each pack and hope for the rare cards and error cards.

    I have a 2010 OCT Becketts here & it looks like there is between $250-$275 in Book Value.
    Because the worth is spread out over so much weight, rather than just 2 or 3 high valued cards, you'd be looking at spending over $30 to ship these. Maybe more than $50 if insured or out of country.
    I know the buyer pays the shipping but they build that into their buying price just like you can build it into your selling price & then say free shipping.:wink:
    Because they are factory sealed sets I would guess that you'd be lucky to find to someone who is willing to pay 15%-24% of book value.
    Say someone for some reason needs these sets & wants to pay 25% of BV. After you pay for packaging & shipping costs you'll get $30-$40 profit.
    IMO
    A dealer at a show or a local shop will tell you that theres no way he can sell it so if you wanna leave them there, you can but, he won't pay cash for them.

    baseball cards USED to be worth so much, the strike in 94 killed the whole game
