    Anyone in to sports cards?

    What is causing this boom in value of cards? Is it only new cards and game worn/auto stuff or have older cards risen in value as well?

    I bought a Bradshaw rookie card a while back. It's an SGC 8.5. I was thinking about cracking it and submitting to another company to see if it would grade a 9. The price difference is huge. Anyone here know enough about cards to look at a pic and see if if it has any chance? Worst case it comes back the same grade?

    A few but not the majority. I got a few Tony Gwynn rookies, a Kobe Bryant rookie and a John Stockton rookie.

    70's - 90's Really bad tine for sports cards. Overly produced. The thing about cards is usually you have to spend money to make money. They have boxes out going for 3k for 8 cards.

    Cards are a hobby.

    The only way to really make anything on them is to get the pull of a lifetime OR investment lots. Buy a ton of rookies, get them graded and hold for a bit and hope they pan out. Or get the new boxes fast, and get those rookies graded and resell.

    Luka is killing it on Ebay.

    I have ten 1983 mint Sandberg rookie cards I paid 40 buck for the lot years ago.
    I can get 800 now for the ten, I'll hold for now.

    I bought it graded. Not sure how much to get it graded. $100? I think its worth about 1500 now. Goes up to 15k if it gets the half point.

    I had 3 mint Ricky Henderson rookie cards like 25 years ago. They were worth $150 each. I don't think they are worth anything now.

    PSA grading prices vary on conditions.
    You can look up the details, it'll explain it better than I can.

    But yeah, like 50 to 150 dollars give or take.

    Piece of advice. If you are collecting, no point in grading.

    Reselling then there’s all the reason to.
