take me off your NBA text service sir

[secretstash]

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.

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.

[jmdudney]

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.

[Wrigley]

The big card shop here Shinders closed about 4 years ago , it used to be a packed store when I was a kid last time I went I was the only one in the store

[coanwe]

[Iwinyourmoney]

im interested...

They aren't for sale, I was just wondering what they where worth.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Thanks for the input guys. Forgot about them and found em last night, was just curious if they where worth a damn

[jose21_us]

The 93 upperdeck is the best box there. You have Arod and Jeter rookie cards....

[Bcatswin]

iwin your best bet with cards now a days are the patch cards with uniforms, bat chips and autographs in them. Mostly autographed stuff though.

[Powderguy]

$50 for the lot

[ttwarrior1]

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

[flyingillini]

Those are garbage and pretty much can get thrown in a fire.... Trust me Iwin.....

[Roxxyfish]

are you bitter JJ ?? not beeing 18 ??

[Jayvegas420]

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
