Do people still collect baseball cards?

[dtmcnamara]

Do they? I just ran across a SHIT LOAD of baseball, football, and basketball cards. Along with a ton of comic books and comic cards.

Brings back good memories of no bills and worries and just tearing open a new pack of cards and seeing what you got.

sports collectibles shops

comic book stores

[OneSlow5pt0]

yep......i got tons of spiderman comics,baseball cars,marvel cards,pokemon cards(shut it)

[Tasuki_Civic]

i dont collect them anymore but i used to. between my pops and i there 4 boxes of comic books and we have 5 baseball car boxes full of cards. some worth having and some a for looks. yea brings back memories indeed.

my dad and i used to go to the comic book store that was downtown in buckhead ( it was like in this small ass place behind that plaza on peachtree st b4 justins restaurant) i used to get all kinds of action figs. and comic books from there. its gone now.

[dtmcnamara]

ya i just found all my Bevis and Butthead comics, and some ATLANTA KNIGHT autographed cards along with all my 1900's collectors cards. I guess its time to get some shit of EBAY.... or i could keep them and wait. HUMMMM

[Tasuki_Civic]

hahaha we've thought the same thing

They're not worth shit right now. Seriously. I just got rid of about 5-600 baseball/football/basketball(the newest of any was 1984) and got only about $60 for everything. I did a lot of research, online and off, and the market is hugely down on them as far as value. They massed produced cards in the thousands and thousands back in the 70s and 80s and so there isn't anywhere you can't go and see tons of them. Plus with all the other goings on, the market for collecting has just shrunk immensely. Later, QD.

i did hardcore, til i started driving, started spending my $ on gas and whatnot instead, i have a huge collection, but havent bought a baseball card in probably 7-8 years

so pretty much your saying pre 70's cards are going to be the cards to sell. hold on to the 70's+ cards for another 50 years give them to your grand kids and make them some $$$

[quickdodge®]

^^^ Lolol. I spose so. Even probably 90% of the pre-70s cards won't be worth more than $.50-.60. They're just simply not in demand these days. If you don't need the money and you have the space, keep them. I had a Nolan Ryan rookie that isn't worth $7.50 right now, mint. Lolol. Later, QD.

I was told about 5 years ago, Barry was worth about $20. It went straight down from there. I learned a lot. I had those cards, too. All kind of rookies. Later, QD.

[RandomGuy]

halfwit will trade you his pokemon cards for those

not sure about all that, i specifically remember atleast one of the bonds rookies i had being worth 50+, and that had to of been atleast 9, maybe 10 years ago

[DUBSf22c]

if they are auth and sealed they can be worth a hell lot

[Slow Motion]

I've got a ken griffey 97 and a barry bonds 97 and a bill mazeraski probably the best one next to the roberto clemente card.

Wow. Ok. Not sure about that, but good luck. Later, QD.

Just depends on who they are. There are a LOT of cards that you would think was worth an assload of money that aren't worth $5-10. Later, QD.
