^^^Why are you selling that birthday present I gave you

Might be worth real money one day

:shocked:

That Fleer set actually has several good rookie cards. It happened to be that there was only one basketball set produced for two seasons so there are two years worth of Rookie Cards in that set. Outside of that you are correct. A few decent rookie cards for MLB and NFL in the early 1980's sets. Basically anything 1986 or later is complete garbage.

I know. That was what they say is the best rookie crop ever.

I agree with the 1896 because 87 had Bonds, McGwire, Canseco and all those stars and they mass produced them and ruined the collection industry.

LOL

My brother bought a million Don Mattingly 1984 cards thinking he was going to be the next Mickey Mantle. He was for several years and then he lost it.

He still has those cards today.

I did the same with Ken Griffy Jr rookie cards, especially the Upper Deck one. But everyone had that card.

Shudder - I remember when I used to be into collecting rookie cards - but then everyone wanted those...they were hot to sell at the time but with the whole influx of cards and economy change, prices have dwindled. I met a killing off of the Pokemon craze mysefl as a side note...good times.

Smart move to me as he would have no doubt been mentioned with Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente etc if he had not been injured so much in his last 10 years of playing.

Still managed 600+ HR, gold gloves etc and did not do steriods like Bonds, Sosa, McGwire and the others.

The Griffey UD one was awesome. But they surely overproduced it.

So was it worth while or was it garbage?

Was also wondering how this turned - few side forum bets that the transaction went bottoms-up

I actually ended up selling it all for $150, which is what I paid. I believe I could've gotten more but I just wanted it gone.

I did keep several Mint Condition Becket magazines. I also kept around 30 decent cards.

After really thinking it over again, I felt like it'd be more of a hassle than anything else. Yea, if i would have really went through everything and took the time to find some decent cards, I could have made more than $150... But it just seemed like a whole lot of work, didn't seem worth it to me.

Should've made that decision before I bought but oh well, still came out ahead...

I hear that - lot of time to sort out the stuff. Not sure on market value of Mint condition Beckett pricing guides though...

At least you did it.

That counts too in the scheme of business.

Who knows what could turn up in the future which might be much better.

Yep, at least you tried.

:cheer:

I seen some of them going for between $4-$10, decent enough. I've got about 30 of them. I also have some other types of Sports Magazines in mint condition.
