My mom just brought me all my old Baseball Cards
    #5666374 - 05/23/06 08:35 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Anyone know if it's possible to look up old card values online? Or do I need to buy a book of card values at a bookstore or something? How frequently do those get updated? How much do the values really change?

If anyone cares I'll post what cards I have of some stand-out players.

They're all from the late 80's early 90's.

I have a card commemorating Nolan Ryan's 5000th strikeout.
Cal Ripken Jr. MVP card from 1992 and an All-Star card for him too

A '91 Howard Johnson All-Star Card x 2
Fred McGriff all-star card
Will Clark all-star
Ozzie Smith all-star
Jeff Bagwell Rookie of the Year


Found those just going through a plastic baggie full. There's another shoe box with a TON.

I hope so - that's why i asked her to bring them to me. I'm gonna sell off the valuable ones individually and the rest as a set.

man, what's funny is that when I collected these I didn't know anything about or give a shit about baseball. :lol:  Now, 15 years later, I'm obsessed.

hey robot...you should go to a card/collectiable store or even a supermarket and pick up a "Beckett"...it comes out once a month with up to date values on cards...you probley have a few gems in that shoebox..so its worth a shot.

Mostly they're Topps but a few of them are Donruss and Fleer. As I'm looking through them I remember I really liked Topps and thought Fleer was ok but man I hated Donruss.

Definitely check out Beckett. They're online. Just give it a Google.

Your post earlier gave me some ideas, and I think I might do the same thing. I have a couple rare Keving Garnett rookie cards that are worth a little over $50 apiece. I think I might sell my shit and get a new pc.

I hate to say it, but none of those cards are worth more than 2-3 dollars. I too recently discovered my thousands upon thousands of cards ranging from 80-92, complete sets of every brand, only to find they are worth a small amount.

Just check on eBay for anyones you might think are valuable. I dunno about the plastic bags though, these collectors like their collectables in tip-top shape.

The one thing I remember from my brothers baseball card days is eating that damn hard gum, even though it was terrible. I never collected cards myself, but my bro has boxes full.

I used to make a living off cards. Of course when i say a lving I mean I made a profit and maybe made 200 a month off them and at 13-14 that was a living. I had a knack for pulling good cards out of packs. I pulled an autographed ryne sandburg out of a donruss pack. That being said they are all but useless now. You may be able to sell them all for a tank of gas. Its shitty because I have a lot of great cards.I have some griffy jr rookkies, a barry sanders tops rookie and a brett farve pre rookie from classic. It was in a set that previewed the upcoming rookies.
