Ignore any haters. TY for sharing your old childhood collection. Don't throw these cards out. Worst case there is always a friends kid who you can give them too. These have much more value than just dollars and cents. Just think what you would have felt like if someone gave all that to you. Thanks again for sharing.
My brother an I collected card together and I remember hours of reading the Beckett! My brother being 1.5 years younger so it was one of the few things that brought us very close... He died 10•08.09 and I miss him still in 2020...
People in these comments could be so rude. Obviously you're just trying to show off something that meant a lot to you and have fun with it taking a trip down memory lane. But some people just want to ruin the enjoyment. Sure, these cards don't fetch too much money, but I can tell it's not about the money to you. It's about reflecting on the memories of your youth. Excellent video.
The good old days. I remember bringing by card binder to elementary school and trading my doubles to other kids for there doubles at recess or the bus. I collected from about 84 to 90. It was a seasonal hobby during baseball season. I had a huge binder full of my most valuable cars and took it to the local card store in 92. I wanted a car so I sold the whole binder for $800. Good decision because the value is based on a numbers rating of 1 to ten after you send the card in to be graded.
I saw a few $10 cards in there, the 87 Topps Bonds RC and the 89 Bowman Griffey JR RC. Looks like fun to go through. The Jackson auto card would probably fetch $10 as well
+topps85401 If the Bonds or Griffey rookie get a PSA grade of 10 they can be worth maybe a thousand dollars. If PSA give them a 9 than maybe $30 to $50 but if PSA gives hem less than 9 than very little to nothing. checkout ebay
+Ben Howard These cards may not be worth alot to most, but these are all the same cards I collect! I dont collect to sell, i collect to have. Recently Ive been buying huge complete sets from 1986-1996 for $4 a piece. Just what i like!
This looks exactly like my collection. These were the best years of card collecting I don't care what people say. Its not about the money to me. Great collecting man!!!
I loved the telling of how you started collecting baseball cards! That's what it's all about for me and comics: The Memories! Great video and thanks for sharing your story!
i know this is a year old but i buy storage bins, and as a old collector i just burn every cards i see, and if we all do it they will be worth more cause there will be less of them, i do the same with 8 track tapes, watch out 8 track collections will be pricless one day cause of people like me
I'll bet there's still a lot of these in closets around the US.....a lot were manufactured and sold in the mass production days beginning about 88....and thru the early 90's. They're still being mass produced TODAY.......now there's 100's of different rookie cards of the same player...same year in various forms, signatures, patches, 1 of 20 etc....you get the picture...and they're going for big bucks...rookies who haven't even played 5 years in the Big Leagues. The same thing is going to happen to the next generation....makes my 47 thru 79 HOF'ers in PSA 7/8 or higher condition maintain their value but...will increase in value each year...
Nice memories in a box! I sold my collection in 1989. Luckily I have an old video of my collection from June 1987. I was able to rebuild my collection and since have added thousands more from 1953 to 1990. I love the older stuff, but seeing the cards I had in 1987 always gives me a great feeling!
Good call, But I think his cousin would actually try to give him all the cards he didn't steal the first time, now knowing you can't give cards away now.
1983-1993 is pretty much worthless as it was mass produced back then, but there are still a few cards that do have some worth in that era as well. I think we all got caught up in the money hype/ collectors way of thinking back then, but think about it, this was a HOBBY for all of us, and still should be, so I kept all of mine as well. I love doing what you just did, "take a trip down memory lane". Keep them, and you and your grand kids will have something to do together one day! I have two girls, and I know one enjoys cards, almost as much as dad! Not about the money, about the enjoyment, and memories in my opinion!! I ordered a pile of 1990-91 wax packs, of hockey cards, to open with my daughter, which cost about the same as they did back then, and what a great time we had that day! Trip to the store to get some bubble gum, while we opened the old packs, and just hours of spending time together! Great vid! Cheers!
No its more like 1986-1991 because there were about 8 or 9 major companies making cards and all of them mass produced. 1983-1985 were not mass produced thanks to donruss, Topps just started to produce just a little more cards than normal then but donruss stuck to the reasonable amount to produce
Man, I've still got binders and shoe boxes of old baseball cards from the 80's and 90's and Marvel cards from the 90's as well. I can recall thinking they'd be worth something some day too, haha, but the bubble really did burst in a huge way of the value of all this stuff, you can't even give it away nowadays. I think people who weren't around back in the day wont even be able to realize how huge it was, like you said, on every corner you could find a card shop back then. Good stuff!
+CRTcade Yup, the same thing will happen to vintage video games. These shelf collectors are going to be very disappointed in the value of their collection in 10 years.
Exactly! It’s turned into a money-making scenario! Collecting your favorites or heroes cause that’s your favorites seems dead ! You know oh wow I got a autograph or relic how much can I sell it for ! Just my opinion!
willy565 no way dude. It's all about the cash. That's why I quite my job...as I am sure this collection will allow me to retire in the Bahamas..... All kidding aside....i can remember just looking at all the cards and memorabilia in the card shops. It was amazing.
I think the set hes talking about is Upper Deck because my dad collected those as a kid and said they were like 15-20 bucks a pack, My dad has the whole 1990 set though its awesome
With the exception of a couple in the individual holders you would have trouble giving those cards away. There are some people that buy cards by weight so that would be your best option if you want to do something with them.
The last year worth money was the 1975 Topps(in at least nr mint condition).My ‘75 set is in nr-mt to mint condition.All cards are well centered and handled only 3 times.I’ve been offered over $800 in 2017 but refuse to sell.
For set collectors, we have to pay a premium for commons. Not fun buying at $1 each. But they cost nothing if you get a pile of random ones. Just bought a bunch of cards for 50c each that I could not afford in the 90's. You have Reggie Jackson's autograph? 11:42
honestly, the cumulative value of the cards could be $200 or so....that would be the Beckett value, but Im not saying that you could get that much.....good to go down memory lane....
if your looking for something to do with them donate them to your local childrens hospital the kids there with have fun going thru them and collecting them. bring a smile to a kid
Not even $20. Anything after 1972 is garbage. Good for the firepit, or wood stove. The cards are not money makers. He only made the video to take you down memory lane.
the reggie signed card is worth up to $200.......all aKen Griffey Jr & Nolan Ryan cards have some value........whomever is or will be in the hall of fame is worth keeping.
I have been a sports card collector for 30 years and I have been sports card dealer for the last 10 years. I hate to burst your bubble but this collection is almost worthless. Doubtful you would get $20 for all of it. 99% of all 80s and early 90s cards are trash and are not even worth the cardboard they are printed on. Not that you are asking for an opinion but I find it comical when people pull out these cards and think its an expensive find. Anyway, just my expert opinion, for what its worth.
+Ben Howard RUBBISH!!! Are you trying to de-value my awesome collection? I know you want to buy it. My collection is worth at least $75,000, add that with the value of my Beanie Baby collection and I could retire early! There was never any bubble to burst. Of course this collection is worthless. I'm pretty sure I stated that early in the video.
+Ben Howard I've seen Ken Griffey JR 1989 Bowman rookie grade 10 by PSA go for hundreds. But unlikely his Griffey card will receive a 10. If PSA gives it a 9 he might get $70 but not much interest for 80s cards graded less than 9.
+Ben Howard - If you look at it from what a card shop owner would give a person for this collection, then yes, it is worthless... if he took some of the better cards in this collection and threw them on ebay, then he'd make more than $20 for sure.
He said it was worthless, his collection IS worth the time spent, down memory, lane, or spending time with a family member or a friend...so NOT so worthless after all I say!! Guys that get into collecting to get rich, never do, but guys who get into it, for the enjoyment, ALWAYS do!! Cheers!
I think its funny that he cant figure out why hes missing cards here and there... That was the spot that the card shop pulled Derek jeters rookie card out and gave your grand paw 1.00 for it. Did anyone see cards of 100% Value? I didnt..
11:31 That McGwire card is worth about 20 bucks 11:45 if that is a signed Reggie Jackson card it could be worth about 75 bucks. 11:57 Thats a Jim Abbott RC if graded a 10 is worth about 20 bucks 13:02 if you get it graded a 10 its worth about 10-15 bucks.....OMG 13:05 DUDE GO GET THAT JACKIE ROBINSON CARD GRADED.....IT COULD BE WORTH UP TO 2500 BUCKS DEPENDING ON WHAT GRADED YOU GET......THAT IS YOUR DIAMOND IN THE COLLECTION RIGHT THERE...OH NEVER MIND you said it was a reprint.
i have everything from baseball to football i have troyaikman 9.0mint condition mickey mantle rookie card not so good condition 1952 pee wee wee reese 8.5 nm-mnt jerry rice 9.0 mnt and more i have alot of the old school 1950's baseball cards cut ford signed card curt flood signed card troy aikman signed card i used to have lou brock signed jersey baseball baseball bat and card but i sold that but all i have now is baseball cards and football cards
Unfortunatly what you have doesnt amount to much. In the 80's and 90's cards were so mass produced that it ruined the business, that and all the new card companies coming along. It is starting to turn around a bit but your collection is probably worth around $40.00 tops !
Don't be so ridiculous. According to my price guide........this collection has grown to 836 million. I've already quite my job and plan to buy 6 houses.
