Oh they days of collecting and trading baseball cards in my youth. I remember them well, and wish I knew then what I know now.
Why?
Because I would have sold them all as a kid and collected a nice chunk of change. Actually, I would have had a ball of cash!
Most of those cards from my childhood - late 80's through the 90's - are barely worth the cardboard they're printed on today. Heck, 20 years ago I could get twice as much, if not more, for the cards from that era that actually do have some value.
Threw the years I wondered how the hobby was able to still survive. These things are worthless right? Well, what I didn't know is that there's a new approach to card printing.
The cards aren't produced in bulk anymore. At least not to the extend they were when I was a kid. Instead of card companies printing, literally, millions of the same card. They offer 'limited' print runs. For a further explanation of the card collecting and sports memorabilia industry, and how the value of the hobby has bounced back I spoke with Tom Napoli of Hall of Frames Sports Collectibles in Yorkville, NY:

@nighttimeguy3954 7 лет назад

Bottom line I have found with any of these card places is that they want you to give them your cards for practically pennies on the dollar and want you to buy their cards for top dollar and always tell you "I can't go any lower or I will be losing money". When Cal Ripken Jr. broke the consecutive games record his rookie card went up to around $100 at that time. I had two of them. I went to a card show at a local mall that had around 40 vendors and tried to sell one of them. ALL of them would only give me $5.oo for the card. Two of the vendors would give me $10.00. For a $100 card. The card was kept in pristine shape. I could see making a profit but 95% less than book value just so they could put it in their case for top dollar. Bottom line is I just felt it was mostly a sham and a card is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it regardless of what any book or vendor says it's worth. Period. I quit after that.

@maxmannis6124 7 лет назад

Cards go up and down in value over time. That card was worth 100 bucks when he broke the record in '95, but check recent eBay sold listings and none of them are going for nearly that much.

@mobus1603 7 лет назад

Max Mannis, no cards from the '80s are going for as much now as they were in the '90s.

I used to joke that topps would make 1 card of each player and auction them. The stars would sell for a million and the semi stars for 100,000 and commons for 5,000. It's almost coming true!!

@Darbobski 6 лет назад

If you collect new cards to sell, buy quick and sell quicker because next year's cards will make this year a distant memory. If you collect in hopes of saving for retirement, go buy vintage cards, especially 1970s-early 1980s. You can get Gem Mint PSA 10 Donruss Wade Boggs for 50 bucks or less if you look around. You can get A Donruss Gwynn for under 80 bucks. These cards will not go down. If anything, they will be going up as soon as people get tired of all the signature relics and realize that they are actually not that special when there are 100,000 1 of 1s out there! Sure, there are a few neat cards that are worth $$, but most are just there to make you think you got a "hit" when all you got is something similar that starts with an "s". Also, keep in mind that people are buying up 1984-87 Boxes of Topps, and especially Fleer and Donruss now and opening them because they are relatively cheap. The supply, though still vast, is dwindling. The most important thing though, is to make sure you still have fun. This is meant to be a hobby after all.

@rentslave 7 лет назад

A mint condition set of the 52'Topps was selling for $350 as late as 1973.I didn't buy it because it had gone up from $195 in one year.I've done this in other investment areas as well,missing the bitcoin rise of 2013 from $10 to $1100.Maybe next lifetime.

@mobus1603 7 лет назад

Pre-1980 cards still hold their value, but most other stuff after 1980 is an absolutely *_terrible_* investment anymore

You mean $20,000. I’d hate to be one of the guys that bought it at that price, but it was likely just traders hoping to sell it at $22k. One day, we may look back at that price and think, damn that was cheap. Maybe.

@johnmoosey8173 6 лет назад

Started collecting cards in 1978....As a kid we brought them to school...traded them...put rubber bands on them....nobody cared about what they were worth....and if i had 10 1978 Reggie Jackson cards I would need to trade 5 of them for 1 1977 card....we called them old series and they were 1 year out of production...I lost them in a flood...recently wanted to get back into the hobby....bought near mint sets of 1980s for 10 to 20 dollars and tons of wax boxes ....I could care less of the value....I purchased some off condition cards vintage from early 70s and 60s....Guys like Yaz Rose etc for dirt....everyone wants graded cards....there is no fun for kids anymore....sad really.....buy them and save them for memories...put your retirement money in an IRA...

@JP-wx6uh 6 лет назад

Dude is telling you the 80's and 90's cards have no value, meanwhile he's buying up as many rookies of Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs, Rickey Henderson, Jeter, etc. as he can, because he knows how this business works.

@firebomb5510 5 лет назад

That's funny,,,your right tho,,,,,I was looking fo a Bill Ripken(Cal Ripken jr.s younger brother) F**k Face card,,, ended up with 14,000+ cards in 30 days,,,tried to sell some,,no luck,yet... Anyway,ended up with the same cards you just named plus,37 Daryl Strawberry cards(Mets and Dodgers) Football cards Basketball Hockey What's funny is,I found out real fast ,sellers won't buy what you are offering,yet,they sell the same ones at astoundingly high prices.... So,now I've turned it into an investment that will be worth it later down the road. I also hate the fact that 2011 Box set is worth more than cards from the 60s-70s -80s-90s,,,even the top athletes,,why? And for nostalgia,I found unopen PacMan cards with gum still in the packs unopen,,$5 a pack,,valued at $20 a pack,,,Soo.again,,I can make the investment start there..

At one point late 80s early 90s those cards were worth a lot of $ a Don Matttingly Donruss rookie card was $65-$85 all day or a Roger Clemens ! Then for whatever reason the market tanked. If I remember correctly when the players went on strike it ended up hurting the market and it never really recovered. Yes those cards were mass produced but they were worth a lot at one point

@itsacardboardworldwithshan8603 7 лет назад

Your half right and people collect what you want. Today's stuff will and does sell, yes vintage will always sell but finding samples that are better than VG is very tuff to do. 2012 Topps Brice Harper's Update Rookie is a solid $100.00 card and one any card collector can pick up on eBay for around $45.00 - $60.00 and depending on your taste and budget you can today still put together a solid collection. Calling someone foolish because they do not collect vintage is a little harsh. I will always tell anyone collect what you like if you are looking for an investment then yes vintage but even some of today's stuff will hold value depending on the player staying healthy.

@zodiacdana 7 лет назад

I think you are wrong. Today's products have more variety and less collectors than in the past. People buy vintage because it has established value. Some cards hold a lot of value compared to print run (think Ken Griffey, jr UD rookie and Michael Jordan Fleer rookie.) Today you can buy top stars cards numbered to 100 or less for $10 or less.

@Maal7432 6 лет назад

I completely disagree. This stuff now is ridiculously good. Especially baseball and basketball cards. No one just wants old shit all the time. It’s great, but too hard to find. Everything is all beat up. I get the enjoyment of seeing players cards go up and down based on their performance. It’s fun.

There are always exceptions to the rule. Nothing someone says in 100% idiot. You are the same type of moron that screams racism when a white person insults a black person. You assume that that white person thinks 100% of black people are the way that they are insulting one individual. Learn what collectivism and individualism are. You are brainwashed with the false paradigm of collectivism. Please implement individualism in your brain and you will be amazed at how different the world is and how much the mainstream media outlets brainwash folks with collectivism.

@MultiJohnnyangel 4 года назад

They didn't tell you the whole truth. A box of Bowman Chrome with 3 autographs will cost you around $300. But, you will likely get an autograph of a garbage player. In a $150 box of cards, you get one autograph and that too will likely be a garbage player. Anything you buy below $150 and you will most likely have a hard time reselling a star card because people don't want to pay over $50 for a star card. Numbered autograph or memorabilia cards are also difficult to sell because people won't buy unless it's one of the top 5 players and will have to start with an asking price of $100. Graded cards are also a scam. It costs you $8 for grading, a couple dollars for insurance and a couple dollars for shipping. By the time you add it up, unless you get a PSA 9 or 10, you're losing money. Greed has destroyed the card collecting hobby. MLB, the teams, and the players are all asking for too much money which translates into high card prices.

Nobody should view baseball cards as an investment anymore, just a pure hobby. There are SOOO many better investments out there. The days of baseball cards making you money have come and long since gone.

Cards are a waste of time these days. If you happen to find a few old cards in your gramps attic and you find some really old cards get them checked out. If you get lucky concider it over cash it or them out and forget about cards. Its that simple. There's to much over production now

Over production kill the hobby for me in the early 90s.

Great job!

my Prize piece of memorabilia is a football signed by BART STARR, WILLIE WOOD, JIM TAYLOR, Ray Nitschke, and Paul Horning. The nice thing about it, you can read their autograph. They took their time signing, beautiful handwriting. The auto's today? Can't even read them, nothing but scribbles, no thanks!

I have three one of one cards. Big Poppi . Derek Jeter, and Buster Posey. All 2019. All sighed and game worn Jersey. I’d rather have a 64 Hank Aaron psa 8 or 9 than all three of the one for one cards. It cost me about 6k on people talking me into the boxes and I really could care less about modern cards. I told Buster posey before the last Giants home game he could have the David Ortiz, and his 1 for 1 for a 2010, 12 or 14 World Series game worn Jersey. He took my phone number. Oh yeah, I have really good season tickets in San Francisco and used to fan boy. The players players don’t get why they are super over priced I don’t get it either. It’s like that Mike trout ten years ago. I have three of the cards. Topps bought all the overpriced cards on eBay themselves. It’s Topps playing Monopoly with the card business because people spend thousands on packs and worthless cards now.

For all the people who have comments about getting low offers for good cards from dealers at shows. That's not the place or way to sell good cards. As you found out, if there in tremendous shape you should pay a little to get them graded and sell on line through a sports cards auction. Especially if they are 1980 or older. Even some newer such as Griffey , Ripken, Jeter , and so forth. I experienced the same disappointment. I also got swindled out of a bunch of 86 Fleer basketball , I didn't know what I had in 1995.

I don't think so inflation

I used to buy cards for my son who never got interest in them. So now I have a tote of thousands of baseball cards, around a thousand basketball, football & hockey cards. They are mostly from 93 & 94 but have some from the late 80’s. I know there’s a Griffey Rollie in them too. I e been trying to sell the whole lot on Facebook and the best offer I got was $90. I think it’ll just be easier to burn all of them I don’t even know what cards to look for that are worth anything. Can anyone point me somewhere to find out if there are jewels in the lot? I do have a 1992 Topps complete box set unopened and a 1994 upper deck set unopened in the lot. Any help would be great, otherwise they’re going on the burn pile.

scericat haven't collected in a while but Beckett sell a monthly magazine that gives you a high and low price.its just a guide though .they really need to get graded.card shops give you pennies on the dollar.they did flood the market w too many cards.great pc. Of history, after grading try eBay.gluck

@AlexOvechkinSucks 5 лет назад

Just search eBay for the set, and they usually show the best ones in the listing. Find out the best ones, keep them for fun, or just burn the whole lot. Good kindling. Or give them to a kid.

Yeah there's gonna be a Prescott colored #'d to 25. But how about the fact that Topps/Panini have *OVER 40* different NFL products per year. Each one with 5-10 different levels of auto cards. There will be FAR less Marino rookies than Prescott rookies. And I'll even add in that I'm talking only #'d Prescott rc cards. If 40+ different NFL products offer Prescott rookies #'d to 25, what the hell does that say about there only being 25 of them made? That number just became *40 × 25* !!! Where's the scarcity in that?? Every friggin dealer in America has a numbered rookie of *ANYBODY* to 25. 🤣 Sounds pretty rare to me. 1/1 Superfractors are in my opinion, the *only* modern auto rc cards that deserve $5,000 $10,000 status!!

@AlexOvechkinSucks 5 лет назад

Drew Bravo yeah I wanted to buy an auto on eBay because it was featured at the game I went to where the player scored a hat trick. People are trying to sell them for $300, and I can’t even imagine how many units are out there. Not only that, eBay is FLOODED with autographed rookie, autos, jersey patch, or some variation of those 3. IT’S RIDICULOUS. That’s the only way they can sell packs, by telling you that you’ll get a ‘special’ one. It used to be that you rarely got an “insert” and now every pack has an “insert.” It’s not collecting, it’s gambling on cards with ever diminishing value.

start making it fun for kids again maybe the hobby will get popular again , make cards 75 cents a pack low production run and autos in and just make it like it was in 60s and 50s cool designs , wood grain or paintings , the 30s styles were cool old goudey was one , put hall of fame's in set with cool design knot hole or foil of statue at Canton, I only collect cards to the early 80s and newer stars and back to 1909 because I dont care for new designs , the remakes are nice
