i had 2 full shoe boxes of my favorite tops cards...at that rate it would of had a value of at least several million dollars..
I think my mom did the same thing when I joined the Army. I need to ask her though because I had thousands of baseball and football cards...
go get them .. trade for supplements lolI had a sh1t ton of NHL/hockey cards back in the day. They may still be somewhere at my moms
I was going to say anyone want to trade for Test vials?
send me the football cards lol dont know anything about baseball .. although at a garage sale i got a mike piazza rookie card for .50 and back in the day it was worth over $50 .. one of my best investment as a kid lol
Yeah I stopped collecting before the interwebs became really a thing. I bet that did change things a lot. I grew up in a smaller town and remember how exciting it was to go to a bigger city that had some of those card stores. I could've spent hours going through all the different cards at display and I showed some of the more special cards I've collected to the card shop owners, asking their opinions about them and all that. Allways left with at least one pack of new cards and going through them on a bussride back home. Man this thread brought up some memories, lol
Yeah i was the same ..i was a huge card addcit too, we only had one store and loved going there and it was right next to blockbuster ..so yeah spent most of days there and got in alot of trouble for not letting parents know where i was
I'm only 33, but pretty close. I agree with a lot of what you say here. I would only want to make a small 'separation' on the issue with the 'kids these days' and their activities. Only because I think that's what the older generation have and will allways say/think about the youth and what they're doing. I mean my initial thought about all this tech and smart phones on every child and social media is that it does not look like a good thing, but at the same time I'm afraid it's just the old hack in me thinking so
Community College maybe
i bet that bob gibson was worth a pretty penny....i had tom seavers topps rookie card along with joe nammath and the entire big red machine.
Here's a few that should've been worth something but I guess are too rough around the edges now. So frustrating. FTR, I know they aren't rookie cards but that's what I had 30 years ago.
Should we just hold our cards then until it picks back up?
To add to this, if all the collectors keep telling everyone to burn their 80's-90's junk wax cards, then eventually whose are left should be worth something right?
I bought the 2021 Beckett price guide and checking eBay latest sales. Beckett sports that hank aaron cards I have on the front cover but it's selling between $5-15 on eBay last week. What am I missing here? lol
Yeah, the pics are a bit poor. You may know Brett Hull, Mark Recchi, Eric Lindroos, Mike Modano?
Yeah, I don't watch NHL too much these days myself either. Might watch a game here or there. As a kid I was more in to it and that was when I was collecting those cards.
Dont believe that
