This is ridiculous, I look on the web and they are all paying membership sites.

1990 was the year of the card boom and the market was flooded. Saturated. Drenched to the bone.
Way too many cards in circulation.Comment -
You can get 40 year old HOF cards for under a buck.............Comment -
They mean nothing, the one I tend to use is VCP, vintagecardpricing.com but it is good for high grade prewar,, if you have something less than a few grand, don't bother, just use ebay as your guideהמוסד

Mcgwire rookie card was 85 Topps. In 98 the card was worth $100.00 bucks. Today it it worth $5-10 bucks. I was a big time card collector, but nowadays there are too many card companies out there and the whole grading of cards turns me off. I won't touch anything after 1987.Comment -
Beckett is pretty much useless for cards. You will only be able to sell your cards for the prices listed in Beckett if you have high end cards, or some rookie cards, when they first come out. I seen cards listed for $50 in Beckett, sell for $5 on ebay. Market is tough for cards, the graded cards do better.Comment -

given the topic, years ago when i shattered my leg during the summer i organized all the cards that were given to me alphabetically by team then by year and such and ive always wanted to go through and price em all out, theyre a ton of sick cards from 1958-1980s, got a 1958 roger maris RC when hes on the indians but it isnt in perfect condition, plus i got like 4 1963 pete rose rookie cards, frank/brooks robinson, a clemente, bunch of koufaxs. im never gonna sell em but always wondered what this collection costsComment -
I had a closet full of baseball cards (like a 6 foot pile of the monster boxes) of late 1980s and early 1990s... Most of the good stuff had been pulled out and sold a long time ago and I got tired of losing the space and hauling them around everytime I moved so I decided to go through them... After about an hour of pulling out all crap that was worth like $1-5 (according to the price guide which means they are prety much worthless) and not making much a dent in the pile I decided it was a huge waste of time as I would be lucky to get like $50 on ebay for lot when I finished... I tried to call around and give the crap away (goodwill, baseball card shops, etc) but no would touch the shit.. and just said **** it and dumped the load in a dumpster... I can't believe I hung on to that all those boxes for like 15 years (and moved them like 4 times)...Comment -
now thats a sinComment -
I hear you man. When they started doing inserts all the regular cards became useless. The whole card market was like a great pyramid scheme. People were buying 100 card lots of Gregg Jefferies for ****s sake. It was like gambling for kids.
Do have a nice '80 Rickey Henderson that is probably climbing in value right now.
Remember How big McGwire's cards were when he had that great rookie season?bird bird da bird's da wordComment -
Mcgwire's cards are practically worthless nowadays. It's a shame. I remember when he cracked 49 homers his rookie year and his cards skyrocketed, but nothing like they did when he hit 70 in 1998. As for Henderson, I've always liked his 1980 Topps rookie card, but never owned it. I almost picked one up right before he broke the stolen base record, but never did. It will probablly go up a little bit now since he just made it into the Hall, but the card will be forgotten in 3 months. Jim Rice cards are probablly going up in price now too, but you couldn't give me any of his cards. In general, cards are like shitty stocks, you gotta dump them when there hot or they won't be worth peanuts. Beckett is the BIGGEST SCAM going. I don't think I've ever sold a card for the price in the Beckett. Overall, I would say I LOST ALOT of money on sports cards that I never will get back. I wonder who has made money selling cards? other than the card companies?Comment -
You had to be in on it early. If you sold your shit in the late 80's instead of buying you did great. But if you jumped on the bandwagon at that time you got screwed.bird bird da bird's da wordComment
