Honestly, I have a lot of other stuff, but I literally just pulled some stuff down for yal. THe scans were just some of the baseball cards that were laying on top in one of the boxes I opened just now


I have just as many basketball cards, all kinds of rookie cards from Shaq, to J. Kidd, to Kobe, Iverson, T-Mac... and when Jordan was near retiring I hoarded his cards.

I got that Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck rookie card,.. when I was a youngun that shyt was worth hundreds of dollars. I just checked eBay and it's going for like $12

Are cards not worth anything these days or did that price drop cuz of all the injuries?

yeah man - that Upper Deck joint was worth like $400 at one point

i remember that bo jackson beckett. saw multiple card specific stores open up around that time with business booming and just a few years later industry fell off a cliff. i remember looking in a beckett a year or two back at some of the early 90's football listings and i swear everything was worth pennies. i still cherish my early barry sanders cards, i dont care if they wont buy me half a tank of gas. or is it a gallon, it cant be that, can it?

George Brett rookie card i found at my grandmas when i was 10 ended up being worth around $150 i think

When i got like 16 or 17 i sold it to a card shop for a little money

yeah I have 2 of those Barry rookies from Score. They were $100 back in '95. Probably nothing today

Crazy how popular trading was back then. We were all kids looking at updated pricing from month to month. It was a like a junior stock market

Had that upper deck rookie card
thankfully I didn't invest too much time/money in cards outside of my childhood. The cases cost more than the cards are worth now
