Yes I stopped in the mid 90's and now getting back into it. Looked at the hall of fame rookies I have and watching this video makes me happy to know I have some cards at least worth something even if not very much.
oh yeah- I buy only "my teams" Dodgers, Kings (hockey) ?Carolina Panthers! I like having them! its crazy now to think people are spending 20 a pack in hopes of getting a card with a piece of a cleat or a cut up jersey
Yes, strictly for enjoyment. I buy raw cards from the 50's and 60's. I have quite a few 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers.Don't care if they are perfect but do like them better if centered. Collected the entire 1969 Mets team and been getting many of the 1965 Topps because I think they were the best designed cards ever made,and 1967 cards. I only buy HOF's or real good stars. I own one graded card 1956 Carl Furillo
The hobby went in the crapper with grading. When I was a kid you opened a pack and saw who you got, your buddy opened his and you traded if you had duplicates. I watched the kids of the 1980's and as soon as they opened the packs they went straight to the Becket to see what they were worth. Now I only collect pre-war cards now, and glad to have them in any condition, I read the bio and wonder what it was like to play then I honestly don't worry about the soft corners or the loss of gloss, I think their cool just as they are.
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any help you can give me.
The hobby went into the crapper when kids from the 50s and 60s decided to buy back things from their youth that they (or their parents) had thrown away when they reached adulthood. Same thing happened to comic books. This wasn't necessarily a problem... until the massive speculation booms sprung up because of dummies that didn't understand how scarcity works. Why anybody would think that cards from the 1980s would one day appreciate like cards from the 1950s did when everybody in the 1980s were taking care of them as collectables... it blows my mind in hindsight. The whole thing was mass stupidity on a grand scale. The big bust had already come and gone by the time grading became a big deal. The obsession with grading was merely a symptom, not the underlying disease itself. I sold out in the 1989 to 1991 timeframe. I'd like to say it's because I was smart and I saw the writing on the wall... but in reality the prices at the time were insane, even for cards as recent as 1987... I was selling Bo Jackson 1987 Topps rookie cards to dealers for $5-$6 each and they were moving them for $9-$10... But I wasn't smart, I didn't see the writing on the wall, I was worried I was making a mistake... But I needed money to go to college and build my first PC. But even when factoring in inflation, I likely made out like a bandit. I sold my collection over a period of 12-18 months and made roughly $3500 ($7500 in 2022 dollars)... If I had to buy back my collection, I can't imagine it would cost me more than $2500 unless the gems of my collection from the mid 70s thru early 80s all graded out in my favor (which is highly unlikely)
Funny u should mention to give a kid a card and make him happy. I was out back when peyton manning was going strong and I was at a mall doing nothing I guess but waiting on my wife and this is bfor grading got big. But I had about 8 manning cards that was various rookies and I saw about 4 kids running into the card shop and I stoped them and ask if they like collecting cards, they said yes, so I ask who they liked in football, they said Paton manning and i gave each one 2 TV a piece. They were flabbergasted they loved it, they were aching and oohing all the way into the shop I had a wonderful day that day. I have 15 grandkids now and many years has passed and I wonder if those kids remember that but I have 15 glides and I collect for them I have some beautifully graded stuff and some gem ment stufff so I wanna thank you for your video
Love that you shared your story. Thanks for that! I do it all the time, for Halloween we just bundled cards in 30 packs and handed them out. It gets kids excited and starts up young collectors. Why not spread the joy with a random act of kindness?
Everything now is graded... meaning those cards will NEVER go out of circulation. It's not like in the 50's, 60's, 70's, etc. when kids would handle the cards and wear them out... and throw them away. With every card collector sending in HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of cards to get graded every month, there is no danger of these cards getting thrown away or damaged. THUS... there will be just as many in 10 years as there was today if the card has value. Add to that the sticker auto and player worn garbage that Panini and Topps are putting out now, and the market is absolutely saturated with the stuff. Unless you get an elite player auto that will always hold value... most autographed cards sell in the $15 - $25 range... which is insulting considering the boxes now cost $200 for the middle of the road stuff, and group breaks are in the $75+ range just for a chance to get that $25 auto. Panini/Topps have made a new junk era, and people are going to see in a few years that all these cards that they slabbed and paid $100 for are worth about 1/4 of that due to sheer volume available. Every "limited run product" has a 1/1, /5, /10, /25, /50, and /99 version of an auto. That means there are 190 of those cards available. Most do /150 and /250 versions as well... which makes that number go up to 590. And, that's JUST for that set... say Immaculate. They still signed 10,000 more stickers for Definitive, National Treasures, Museum, Bowman, Prizm, Leather and Lumber, Donruss, Diamond Kings, Gypsy Queen, Topps Series 1/2, Tier 1, etc. etc. etc. For any player out there worth signing a card... there are 10,000 versions of his autograph floating around. People really only chase the low serial numbered cards or the elite player/rookie autos. I remember when Jason Tatum and Donovan Mitchell redemptions were selling for $5,000+ because they hadn't signed their stuff yet. Now... those SAME rookie autos for National Treasures are selling for $150-$175 in real auctions... not those Probstein auctions where they bid on their own products.
I sent 30 high grade cards to psa, and had to pay shipping, insurance, for sending and pay for return insurance. When I received my cards back, I know for a fact they weren't the same cards I sent in. What's sad is how many other people, particularly kids, have been getting taken like myself. Value wad around 35000, and what I got back was maybe 60 bucks on value. Don't trust PSA, IT'S A FARCE.
Thanks for telling people. I read the best thing to do is to go to a card show where Beckett is and get your cards graded right there on the spot. Then you don't have to pay for shipping or insurance. Plus your cards won't leave your sight.
I use 90's cards as shredded packing material. Cost is low and gets rid of worthless paper. Aaron is prob. $8 in that condition because the graded ones make the other less desirable
i send 500 card psa orders in top loaders all the time. Just remember to tape the top of each so the card cannot move during shipment. Just because a card was newly pulled from a pack does not guarantee a high grade like your frank thomas. There was probably a flaw you missed on that one
Also I think Centering on the old Cards should be weighted more that corner wear as it was notoriously hard to find well centered cards in certain sets. I think that is why cards dont get gem mint 10s more than anything.
Yup. I remember possessing and eventually selling a 1980 Rickey Henderson rookie card, traded with a dealer for the card in the 1986/87 timeframe and sold it in 1989. The card had sharp corners, seemingly in plastic it's entire life which was rare back then, no gum staining, no wax staining, colors were on register..... but damn that lack of centering. I don't think any cards I ever saw from 1980 Topps were properly centered. The guy operating the cutting machine at the Topps factory had a year long coke bender or something... was just shaking and tweaking during the entire production run. Of course back in 1989 when I sold it, PSA grading wasn't a thing. No stains, no creases, no obvious color issues, no bad corners... that was all you needed for perfect 10 uber-mint as far as dealers and collectors were concerned. Only really really awful centering flaws would make anybody take pause.... it was was so common in that era of cards... particularly the late 70s into the early 80s. I would be curious as to how that Rickey card would grade out today assuming it's still in the same condition. In every other aspect, I'm sure it was an 8 or better... but it was visibly off center.... I'd guess a 6 or 7.
I have 25 moving boxes full of baseball, basketball, football, hockey, nascar, little mermaid, and something called magic cards. They belonged to my wife's first husband who passed away over twenty years ago. I don't have a clue what to do with them. Any advice would be appreciated. I am not a card collector. Thanks
If you have any interest at all in sorting through them, I would recommend researching which cards you have with any value. Otherwise sell your lot of cards to whomever you choose to move them on to. Rookie cards are always desired of hall of fame players.
Couldn’t tell you what they’re worth by this description. Not exactly sure which cards you’re referring to? They produce black and white reprints of old players now, hard to say without seeing photos.
If I understand correctly the best way to find valuable cards is see if you have hall of fame players or rookie cards of those players? I recently purchased a HUGE lot of 80's and 90's cards and Im trying to understand how to sort through them.
I trade with my friends kids. We go through each others doubles and trade 1/1 even swap. I get the new stuff and they get the old stuff. It's never about the money. All about the memories, stories and time spent.
hey I have a question sorry about the last statement from me that you read it had some messed up words in it u prolly didnt understand. my question is - I bought a 1980 ricky henderson card recently it pristine 10 graded but its grade by GEM ELITE now I've measured the card and its spot on 3 1/2 by 2and 7/16 and everything that I've look at on the card is perfect it seem evan the centering but I just hate the fact that its graded by GEM ELITE what should i do with this card ? keep it the same way or mayb resubmitting or sell it. I really like this card I like rickey but hate the fact its graded by GEM ELITE
It really all depends on what you’d like to do with it. If it bothers you that much, send it in to get it re-slabbed by PSA or Beckett. Not sure how much credibility this company has amongst collectors, but anyone with a good eye would be able to tell it’s a good card.
Simply put... condition of the card. Other factors such as how the card was cut, errors, etc effects value as well. Graded cards sell higher. But sometimes some of the prices are inflated due to seller shenanigans.
+Shock AnAww I advise this to all customers with most cards from the 80s and 90s. Planting a seed with kids could turn them into future collectors that will keep the hobby alive.
It's going to take an awful lot of time to get rid of all the bullshit junk wax from the mid-80's to 2000, lol... You can get 1988 Topps baseball boxes for $5.00 all day.. To put that into perspective that would be like buying a box of 1958 Topps in 1988 for $5.00..... Cards from 1980-2000 will NEVER BE RARE, lol...
It’s not about the money for me it’s just hobby like buying a lottery ticket every once in a while. Never know you can get lucky. Like a Daniel Jones panini contenders cracked ice auto out of a retail box or something
I have a 22kt Gold book with 48 cards. It says at the bottom; Authorized by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association. How much is that worth?
All cards are worth something to somebody. A quick eBay sold items search should help you gauge value. A recent PSA 10 Chipper Jones Desert Shield RC sold for $14,000. The average Gem mint card sells for around $200. All depends on which version you have. Most collectors won’t pay a high amount unless they’re sold by a trusted dealer such as the PWCC
I remember way back in 1990 my brother got a card straight out the pack and the card grader said it was not mint...although he was there when my brother opened the pack and pulled out the card...
+Penny Montero That depends on multiple factors. Is there potential for a Rookie card that belongs to a Hall of Famer in it? Many of these cards are quite common and easily attainable. 1980's and on is loaded with surplus cards.
I don't blame you. Frankly, the only way to know market value on your card(s) is to have them graded. Pending grade, you can research sold prices. Best of luck to you.
They both worth about 3 bucks on a good day, but there are very few good days for those cards.. Dude, ebay is your friend - Beckett is pretty much bullshit - price guides are redundant with ebay..
Bergen Pickers I used to collect back in the late 80's early 90's when I was in elementary school...great memories! I just started last year getting back into looking into where the sports cards/memorabilia industry and hobby is and I have been reading a bunch of articles and watching videos and yea I think its such crap that your card can be "graded" as 7 right of a brand new package with no noticeable flaws. These grade companies are just ripping people off. Cards that are a "so called 9 or 10" are worth tons more than a card ungraded that look almost identical. I will never buy a graded card that is much more than an ungraded one that looks identical or get my cards graded. I will buy "raw" or ungraded cards, If they look mint or in decent shape i will buy them for the love of sports, the hobby, and nostalgia. I am glad the collectors see that! Thanks for the reply! Show less
Cesar Reynoso Jr. The reason you buy graded from a reputable psa, is you have a little peace of mine they are not counterfeit. With today's technology and easy access to places like asia over the internet, ever wonder why you see cards that are rare ww2 Era that look gem mint? If it's too good to be true it probably is.
There is no grading companies in the record collecting world. You just trust the seller or ask for a soundclip. Why can't people just grade themselves and take a photo the card?
Is this really worth the time & effort as an investment??? I recently acquired a huge plastic bin & binder full of sports cards.. From what i've seen so far 84-93 give or take.. These are raw cards... Is it worth my time & effort or should I just torch the $50 worth of cards I got & take it as a lesson??? I've seen some cards that go good on ebay but they are mint 10 gems & these ones aren't =J was condering this as a investment hobby bc I come across cards all the time & hate the idea of passing something of great value as I'm into collectables in general but if it's not worth my money time & effort I'm done.. Please advise!!!!
The era you’ve mentioned is considered the “Junk era” for a reason. Most wont even look at those years and would consider it to be an absolute waste of money. Buying cards for investing is a really bad idea. Do it for the love of collecting.
Do they ever offer a service where you can schedule a time and sit with a reviewer to watch them grade your cards? I'd be down for that, even for 50.00 per card.. kinda like watching a mechanic work on your car, you hope they don't do anything screwy
You can send us some pictures. First you’ll have to make sure it’s authentic if you didn’t actually pull it from a pack. Condition is everything when it comes to cards.
People sell raw cards all the time on ebay, they get pretty good money for them too. I would recommend not to buy any ungraded old cards on ebay that are high value. People have been known to counterfeit them unless you know what the counterfeits look like.
psa cards can easily be opened. I dropped one by accident and the holder came apart. Also grading is very subjective. ie a 7 is likely no worse then a 6 and no better then an 8
I know someone who buys the old boxes and sets for like $5-$10 and sells them for double the price. The 80's and 90's still sell. Everyone hates the 90's but I love the part of my collection that is from the 90's. 1990 donruss looks ugly but I love it.
if you think you have cards worth money , get a table at a local card show. you will have a better chance to sell your cards. But make sure the good cards are in a clean card holder . buy a beckett and find out some prices. enjoy doing shows just to sell off my extra cards. you get to meet so many other card dealers .
1916 cards are very valuable. The highest value recently sold for $475 with a blank back. Most sell for much less. It’s the 1933 Goudey card which is more desirable.
Ken Griffey Jr. Fleer 1989 Rookie Baseball Card #548 I have the sealed box of the 89 Fleer. What is the difference between the same card being offered for 950.00 and another for 10.00 on eBay? Thank you In Advance
Well, it could be that one is highly graded graded, the other isn’t. It could be condition, illusions of grandeur by the seller. Could be all kinds of different factors, depends on which cards we are talking about.
If you're speaking in terms of value, that would all depend on which players signed it. If you're trying to sell it, your next step would be to have the autographs authenticated. Now, depending on who signed it, this maybe or maybe not worth your time and investment.
Already had a box of old wax packs, cracked them open and sent them in for grading to see what they’d come back as. I don’t look to purchase cards from that era unless I like a specific player.
He said nothing from the 80's to current. We are currently seeing a new junk era in 2019 with EVERYTHING being auto/relic now. And... with sticker autos... Panini and Topps are producing 1000 or more of these cards that are supposed to be done on a "limited run."
@tommylabors _ Yea, the highest that card ever booked was like $30-35, in that condition - even back in the day I couldn't see anyone paying more than $12-15 for the card - I mean the card is pretty rough... I mean even back in the day that's the type of card you would find at a card show in one of the $3, $5, $7 or $10 dollar mix & match boxes/bins (I've seen 73' Aarons in all those bins).... I highly doubt someone paid $58 for that card, I'm sure someone just put the card in that holder.
@Bergen Pickers $58 for that card would never fly, even back in the day (I worked at a card shop throughout the 90's), the highest that card ever booked was like $30-35 in NM/M "high book" and no one could argue that is a NM card.. In 1994 that's a $10 card tops, certainly not $58 (even if it was mint) and today it's worth $3.00... You could probably get $5.00 even on ebay w/ free shipping. Hey I'll buy it for $5.00 if you want to sell it.. I have (71) 1973 Aarons already - seriously I have 71, whenever I see the card and it's priced reasonably I'll buy it if it's less than $10...... That 1973 set is a nice set, probably one of my all time favorites.
Well I think I'm crossing this hobby/investment off my list... It's a complete shit show smh... Just hope I can get my money back on all the cards I have =/ ugh.. But I'll never get my time & energy back
I know this might be a stupid question to ask but, is ther any way I could pull up a list of names of different players all throughout the years and find out how much they're worth?
There are plenty of lists and price guides out there, but pretty much all of them are inaccurate. Especially for ungraded cards. You’ll never get an exact dollar amount for what a card is worth.
Just opened a safe full of cards that was in my basement, my dad said they were worth millions of dollars but he’s saving them... we out here broke 😂 lol, Idk, I’d rather buy land and go live off in the land than keep the cards, just me... but I kind of understand that there’s more value than just money in them...
Nowadays It's impossible to tell you what a card like this is worth without seeing what condition it's in, if it's cut properly, edge condition, corners, etc. Having a rookie card to a known player doesn't mean as much anymore without the above factors considered.
+Bergen Pickers are missed prints worth anything ? I have a football card a 2007 rookie calvin johnson that I believe is a missed print card I've searched around 100 times with the card numer year and I get a card with a totally different image online on eBay or any site that has that issued numbered card. it doesn't even spear on the image Google search it's a upper deck 2007 the upper deck logo is on the opposite side and the image is way different but the back is identical to the other ones
I like the cards that are in hard plastics that have no grade to them? if theres no crease on that Ryan I would say that's what a 7 looks like not perfect but not horrible? go figure is right that's what a 10 looks like the Frank Thomas card?
I have thousands of Cards...all sports...some over 60 years olds...I wouldn't trust one of those dishonest bastards grading them unless I could watch there every movement from Jordon to Nolan Ryan...Joe Montana rookie years...there still minimum wage earning peoples...looking for that big score card.
Well, this is a complicated question to answer nowadays, but I'll try. A complete 1978 Set with all 132 Graded 9's and 10's recently Sold for $1,900 as of April 24th, 2019. At auction, the most recent ungraded set, sold for $346 on March 30th, 2019 all cards having been placed inside sheets in a binder. Condition of the cards were excellent to near mint. Now, keep in mind the star card is the Eddie Murray Rookie Card #36, and a PSA graded 10 Gem Mint recently sold for $17,600 at auction on March 17th, 2019 by PWCC (Highly reputable dealer). Hope this helps.
Bergen Pickers thank you for your extremely quick response. Mine have been in a binder as you described. I think I’ve made my money back haha. A side note. I painted a mans house back in 2007. He had multiple (did I say multiple) sets of Topps in the original boxes never opened. From 1951 up to the present. He gave me 4 Yaz cards ( 1 rookie) when I got done.
I am still trying to understand Grading Companies....what are the credentials of these graders that makes their decisions law? This grading is not Rocket science, educated card collectors can do the same job grading. How many graders do they use that they can bang out thousands of cards a week? How do you know they are not "switching" cards on customers? In short professional grading is a joke...sell your cards by negotiating with potential buyers yourself.
You’ve made valid points, and brought up issues that divide many current collectors. Some suspect switching, there have also been claims on authentic cards being returned as fakes etc.
I have a Nolan Ryan with a pin. Also the "inaugural season" 5 pin set for the Rockies and Marlins with the Farewell 34 Texas Rangers Any idea what these are $$$ worth ? Any interest on your end ?
Would all depend on condition, if it’s raw or graded. If graded, what grade etc. depends on multiple factors. Also, the controversy about how many of them were actually printed for the purpose of collectibility when they first came out. Lots of factors. eBay sold listing could give you an approximation if what your card could be worth, yet keep your expectations at a manageable level.
I would never give my cards to these kids these days .... they don't appreciate shit . Trust me those cards will on floor in the corner of there closest and then eventually in the trash while the play on there iPad ....and plus they don't even know the old players ; why would they care .
Some kids care, my son has binders of cards and always takes care them. Also its not a bad thing if kids tear up and ruin 80s and 90s cards, lots of collectors purposely destroy those cards to decrease the total amount in circulation and potentially increase the value over time.
Bergen Pickers I have a bunch of different cards allot of 90’s and 80’s but some from earlier years. I understand that condition is a factor in determining the value. But will a Beckett give me a good gauge if certain cards are valuable or not?
I think grading cards are going to ruin the hobby. It takes away the whole meaning of card collecting. To me it's like the stock market now. Collecting cards is supposed to be for kids who wanted their favorite players. I'm afraid that people will get burned out and will be left with expensive that aren't worth anything
Inaccurate ratings, low quality slabbing, lack of transparency on the grading process seems to be the negatives out there. Cheap cost and quick turnaround times are the positives.
A 1997 Bowman International #194 PSA 10 (Pop 3) Sold for $1175.00 another in same condition for about $800. PSA 9's have been selling for around the $300 mark.
It's all about HoF rookies and 'hit cards'. But only hit cards of players that are doing good at that time. (patch/swatch/auto) Which sucks a$$ cause greed.
One more thing, you got ripped off by PSA, the 4 should have at least been a 5, Maybe 6, and Frank Thomas 7 should have been at least 9. I think their computers were malfunctioning, I would have challenged their gradings. And 'underwear' you put on a card before putting it into a top loader is called a penny sleeve!
Krysdavar he didn't give a good shot of the back, but it doesn't look perfectly centered. With the abundance of newer cards they are less likely to give 9 or 10 unless it's gem. Also be aware of the new cards autos and such, only time will tell. Just my opinion but when they have they sometimes what 5 or 6 variations, different colors and refractors. Suddenly that /100 becomes out of 1000 or more. And every set from all brands have autos. Half are stickers put on the card. Most of the swatch is from event not a game. Only a few out there where I've seen where it says what game it is actually from. To each there own but the jury is still out for me, rarity is everything.
Krysdavar I just pulled a box of baseball cards in folder sleeves i got the 1990 score rookies 72 of them Craig biggio,topps 40th anniversary with a few errors,bowman chrome rookies about 15 of them i got atleast 100 rookies and these cards look like they never been touched brand new looking still I don't know anything about baseball though
Because they just assume that that was the cards that they sent in. If you know your cards, you know your cards. No questions at all. Sorry I definitely got ripped off. ARGUE ALL YOU WANT. I USED A BLUE PEN AND I DON'T SEE THE MARK AFTER THEY CAME BACK. JUST SAYING, NO ARGUING TO THAT.
Anyone besides myself still collect just for the enjoyment?
Well, that’s what it’s all about. That’s the reason we all got into collecting cards to begin with.
Yes I stopped in the mid 90's and now getting back into it. Looked at the hall of fame rookies I have and watching this video makes me happy to know I have some cards at least worth something even if not very much.
oh yeah- I buy only "my teams" Dodgers, Kings (hockey) ?Carolina Panthers! I like having them! its crazy now to think people are spending 20 a pack in hopes of getting a card with a piece of a cleat or a cut up jersey
The most I've ever done is trade.. I'm just now starting to get back into collecting.. I'm ordering wax packs off Ebay. ..
Yes, strictly for enjoyment. I buy raw cards from the 50's and 60's. I have quite a few 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers.Don't care if they are perfect but do like them better if centered. Collected the entire 1969 Mets team and been getting many of the 1965 Topps because I think they were the best designed cards ever made,and 1967 cards. I only buy HOF's or real good stars. I own one graded card 1956 Carl Furillo
The hobby went in the crapper with grading. When I was a kid you opened a pack and saw who you got, your buddy opened his and you traded if you had duplicates. I watched the kids of the 1980's and as soon as they opened the packs they went straight to the Becket to see what they were worth. Now I only collect pre-war cards now, and glad to have them in any condition, I read the bio and wonder what it was like to play then I honestly don't worry about the soft corners or the loss of gloss, I think their cool just as they are.
Thanks for sharing, John. I full heartedly agree. Times were simpler then.
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Josue Darwin instablaster =)
The hobby went into the crapper when kids from the 50s and 60s decided to buy back things from their youth that they (or their parents) had thrown away when they reached adulthood. Same thing happened to comic books. This wasn't necessarily a problem... until the massive speculation booms sprung up because of dummies that didn't understand how scarcity works. Why anybody would think that cards from the 1980s would one day appreciate like cards from the 1950s did when everybody in the 1980s were taking care of them as collectables... it blows my mind in hindsight. The whole thing was mass stupidity on a grand scale. The big bust had already come and gone by the time grading became a big deal. The obsession with grading was merely a symptom, not the underlying disease itself.
I sold out in the 1989 to 1991 timeframe. I'd like to say it's because I was smart and I saw the writing on the wall... but in reality the prices at the time were insane, even for cards as recent as 1987... I was selling Bo Jackson 1987 Topps rookie cards to dealers for $5-$6 each and they were moving them for $9-$10... But I wasn't smart, I didn't see the writing on the wall, I was worried I was making a mistake... But I needed money to go to college and build my first PC.
But even when factoring in inflation, I likely made out like a bandit. I sold my collection over a period of 12-18 months and made roughly $3500 ($7500 in 2022 dollars)... If I had to buy back my collection, I can't imagine it would cost me more than $2500 unless the gems of my collection from the mid 70s thru early 80s all graded out in my favor (which is highly unlikely)
The take away from the story at 5:18 is with every card you submit, you have to send along a twenty dollar bill.
sounds reasonable, no?
I put the cards in a penny sleeve and than slide them in hard cover
PREDATOR11910 same
That is the same thing I do
PREDATOR11910 no point in using penny sleeve just put it in card saver 1.
Collecting trading cards never gets old no matter what your age is!
My sentiment exactly! Cards don’t always have to be collected for value or investment.
6:10 or the 3rd option. The rating system is inconsistent bullshit.
Funny u should mention to give a kid a card and make him happy. I was out back when peyton manning was going strong and I was at a mall doing nothing I guess but waiting on my wife and this is bfor grading got big. But I had about 8 manning cards that was various rookies and I saw about 4 kids running into the card shop and I stoped them and ask if they like collecting cards, they said yes, so I ask who they liked in football, they said Paton manning and i gave each one 2 TV a piece. They were flabbergasted they loved it, they were aching and oohing all the way into the shop I had a wonderful day that day. I have 15 grandkids now and many years has passed and I wonder if those kids remember that but I have 15 glides and I collect for them I have some beautifully graded stuff and some gem ment stufff so I wanna thank you for your video
Love that you shared your story. Thanks for that! I do it all the time, for Halloween we just bundled cards in 30 packs and handed them out. It gets kids excited and starts up young collectors. Why not spread the joy with a random act of kindness?
Everything now is graded... meaning those cards will NEVER go out of circulation. It's not like in the 50's, 60's, 70's, etc. when kids would handle the cards and wear them out... and throw them away. With every card collector sending in HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of cards to get graded every month, there is no danger of these cards getting thrown away or damaged. THUS... there will be just as many in 10 years as there was today if the card has value.
Add to that the sticker auto and player worn garbage that Panini and Topps are putting out now, and the market is absolutely saturated with the stuff. Unless you get an elite player auto that will always hold value... most autographed cards sell in the $15 - $25 range... which is insulting considering the boxes now cost $200 for the middle of the road stuff, and group breaks are in the $75+ range just for a chance to get that $25 auto.
Panini/Topps have made a new junk era, and people are going to see in a few years that all these cards that they slabbed and paid $100 for are worth about 1/4 of that due to sheer volume available. Every "limited run product" has a 1/1, /5, /10, /25, /50, and /99 version of an auto. That means there are 190 of those cards available. Most do /150 and /250 versions as well... which makes that number go up to 590. And, that's JUST for that set... say Immaculate. They still signed 10,000 more stickers for Definitive, National Treasures, Museum, Bowman, Prizm, Leather and Lumber, Donruss, Diamond Kings, Gypsy Queen, Topps Series 1/2, Tier 1, etc. etc. etc. For any player out there worth signing a card... there are 10,000 versions of his autograph floating around. People really only chase the low serial numbered cards or the elite player/rookie autos. I remember when Jason Tatum and Donovan Mitchell redemptions were selling for $5,000+ because they hadn't signed their stuff yet. Now... those SAME rookie autos for National Treasures are selling for $150-$175 in real auctions... not those Probstein auctions where they bid on their own products.
I sent 30 high grade cards to psa, and had to pay shipping, insurance, for sending and pay for return insurance. When I received my cards back, I know for a fact they weren't the same cards I sent in. What's sad is how many other people, particularly kids, have been getting taken like myself. Value wad around 35000, and what I got back was maybe 60 bucks on value. Don't trust PSA, IT'S A FARCE.
I’ve been hearing to many stories like yours for quite some time now. Of course, many will argue the opposite.
Yeah there scammers thief’s
Who made PSA the one and only way to grade cards? the hell with them
This comment made me never want to grade cards ever....
Thanks for telling people. I read the best thing to do is to go to a card show where Beckett is and get your cards graded right there on the spot. Then you don't have to pay for shipping or insurance. Plus your cards won't leave your sight.
I use 90's cards as shredded packing material. Cost is low and gets rid of worthless paper. Aaron is prob. $8 in that condition because the graded ones make the other less desirable
I have a whole of unopened boxes I am getting older and want to sell, any advise?
Great information, you're giving a lot back to hobby!
Thank you
would you sell the 87' jordan? If so, how much?
Was sold awhile back, sorry.
I have a pinnacle kirby puckett with the gold triange on the bottom. Any value?
$1.39 in excellent raw condition is a common asking price.
i send 500 card psa orders in top loaders all the time. Just remember to tape the top of each so the card cannot move during shipment. Just because a card was newly pulled from a pack does not guarantee a high grade like your frank thomas. There was probably a flaw you missed on that one
Without a penny sleeve?
Also I think Centering on the old Cards should be weighted more that corner wear as it was notoriously hard to find well centered cards in certain sets. I think that is why cards dont get gem mint 10s more than anything.
Yup. I remember possessing and eventually selling a 1980 Rickey Henderson rookie card, traded with a dealer for the card in the 1986/87 timeframe and sold it in 1989. The card had sharp corners, seemingly in plastic it's entire life which was rare back then, no gum staining, no wax staining, colors were on register..... but damn that lack of centering. I don't think any cards I ever saw from 1980 Topps were properly centered. The guy operating the cutting machine at the Topps factory had a year long coke bender or something... was just shaking and tweaking during the entire production run.
Of course back in 1989 when I sold it, PSA grading wasn't a thing. No stains, no creases, no obvious color issues, no bad corners... that was all you needed for perfect 10 uber-mint as far as dealers and collectors were concerned. Only really really awful centering flaws would make anybody take pause.... it was was so common in that era of cards... particularly the late 70s into the early 80s. I would be curious as to how that Rickey card would grade out today assuming it's still in the same condition. In every other aspect, I'm sure it was an 8 or better... but it was visibly off center.... I'd guess a 6 or 7.
I have 25 moving boxes full of baseball, basketball, football, hockey, nascar, little mermaid, and something called magic cards. They belonged to my wife's first husband who passed away over twenty years ago. I don't have a clue what to do with them. Any advice would be appreciated. I am not a card collector. Thanks
If you have any interest at all in sorting through them, I would recommend researching which cards you have with any value. Otherwise sell your lot of cards to whomever you choose to move them on to. Rookie cards are always desired of hall of fame players.
Buy the lot in FL
@@BergenPickerscom Thanks
@@brianlucas9060 I live in Colorado. Thanks anyway.
@ 6:00 there is s nick on the corner top right
Informative, thank you.
I have some very old black and white baseball cards that say "one of a hundred and fifty baseball subjects" on the back are they worth something?
Couldn’t tell you what they’re worth by this description. Not exactly sure which cards you’re referring to? They produce black and white reprints of old players now, hard to say without seeing photos.
If I understand correctly the best way to find valuable cards is see if you have hall of fame players or rookie cards of those players? I recently purchased a HUGE lot of 80's and 90's cards and Im trying to understand how to sort through them.
Yes, that would be a very basic guideline. Also, error cards. Google is your friend. 😀
I trade with my friends kids. We go through each others doubles and trade 1/1 even swap. I get the new stuff and they get the old stuff. It's never about the money. All about the memories, stories and time spent.
I have 36 Topps cards (1987 to 1991) that have the baseball info on the card, but no picture. Is that unique?
Some collectors like error cards. If yours are actual errors, they could be valuable to them.
I need help what whould a mint future star bo Jackson card be whorth
eBay, check recently sold listings for the card you’re trying to find info on. Consider whether it’s graded or not.
I got a million of old cards could you tell me some old cards whorth money. I’m new to card collecting
Or they switched the card on you...
hey I have a question sorry about the last statement from me that you read it had some messed up words in it u prolly didnt understand.
my question is - I bought a 1980 ricky henderson card recently it pristine 10 graded but its grade by GEM ELITE now I've measured the card and its spot on 3 1/2 by 2and 7/16 and everything that I've look at on the card is perfect it seem evan the centering but I just hate the fact that its graded by GEM ELITE what should i do with this card ? keep it the same way or mayb resubmitting or sell it. I really like this card I like rickey but hate the fact its graded by GEM ELITE
It really all depends on what you’d like to do with it. If it bothers you that much, send it in to get it re-slabbed by PSA or Beckett. Not sure how much credibility this company has amongst collectors, but anyone with a good eye would be able to tell it’s a good card.
How much are fleer 90 cards worth I also have a earl wilson padres card wonder what’s that worth
LOL 2:40 That is a lazy dollar sign, and then an eight. Eight dollar card... that is what someone wanted to get for that Aaron.
can you tell me why the same baseball card on ebay sells for 3000 and some less then 10 dollars why would there be that much difference
Simply put... condition of the card. Other factors such as how the card was cut, errors, etc effects value as well. Graded cards sell higher. But sometimes some of the prices are inflated due to seller shenanigans.
I have a Cy Young, Lefty Grover and a few more old cards do the have any worth
It would all depend on which cards exactly and condition as well as how well they’ve been cut.
I have a BUNCH of Rockie cards and All Star. They were my late brothers collection. Are they worth any money??
Hello,
It would all depend on the player, condition of the card and some other factors. Not all Rookie cards are valuable.
@@BergenPickerscom may I email pictures of them or is there a video chat I can do with you? I have a bit of them. I have autographed baseballs too.
Sure, you’re welcome to email them for review.
Please give the cards to kids, so hopefully after most are lost in time they will be worth something again.
+Shock AnAww I advise this to all customers with most cards from the 80s and 90s. Planting a seed with kids could turn them into future collectors that will keep the hobby alive.
Bergen Pickers I got an upper deck hockey pack a couple of years ago. I think I might be addicted to collecting sports cards. Oh well.
It's going to take an awful lot of time to get rid of all the bullshit junk wax from the mid-80's to 2000, lol... You can get 1988 Topps baseball boxes for $5.00 all day.. To put that into perspective that would be like buying a box of 1958 Topps in 1988 for $5.00..... Cards from 1980-2000 will NEVER BE RARE, lol...
It’s not about the money for me it’s just hobby like buying a lottery ticket every once in a while. Never know you can get lucky. Like a Daniel Jones panini contenders cracked ice auto out of a retail box or something
I have a 22kt Gold book with 48 cards. It says at the bottom;
Authorized by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association.
How much is that worth?
Couldn’t tell you as we don’t sell much of these. Quick eBay search should solve your problem.
Bergen Pickers thanks.
I collected cards as a kid between 1988 and 92 I buy like $50 vintage collection lots off people from that era amazing rare cards you'll find ..
I have some vintage 1954 baseball cards, as well as 1976 wonder bread all stars football cards. Collecting space here...
the 58 is probably an auction lot number
Are baseball immortals worth anything and also a chipper jones roomie
All cards are worth something to somebody. A quick eBay sold items search should help you gauge value. A recent PSA 10 Chipper Jones Desert Shield RC sold for $14,000. The average Gem mint card sells for around $200. All depends on which version you have. Most collectors won’t pay a high amount unless they’re sold by a trusted dealer such as the PWCC
I have that Nolan and hank aaron card and every Nolan card many more all private collection for sale
+Jerry Jacobsen Feel free to contact us anytime.

I remember way back in 1990 my brother got a card straight out the pack and the card grader said it was not mint...although he was there when my brother opened the pack and pulled out the card...
Mint means that it is completely flawless, not new.
@@austinjanes5828 haha...I was a kid back then...had no clue...but yes, you're absolutely right...
are cards worth more in the original packaging? I have 91 fleer baseball and 86 donruss all star pop up cards?
+Penny Montero That depends on multiple factors. Is there potential for a Rookie card that belongs to a Hall of Famer in it? Many of these cards are quite common and easily attainable. 1980's and on is loaded with surplus cards.
Ty I wanted to open them and see but didn't want to ruin the value lol
Penny Montero 1991 Fleer baseball cards are not worth the cardboard they are printed on.
I got an 86 Barry Bonds #11T good condition 86 Bo Jackson #50T as well good condition worth anything ?
Condition is subjective, cards are always worth something. Try checking eBay sold prices to give you an idea.
Bergen Pickers I’ve seen a lot of different prices for these I’m not really sure which price is accurate just don’t wanna get ripped off
I don't blame you. Frankly, the only way to know market value on your card(s) is to have them graded. Pending grade, you can research sold prices. Best of luck to you.
Bergen Pickers thank you 🙏🏽
They both worth about 3 bucks on a good day, but there are very few good days for those cards..
Dude, ebay is your friend - Beckett is pretty much bullshit - price guides are redundant with ebay..
Screw the grading system. Its a bunch of BS nonsense.
Tons of collectors agree with you.
Bergen Pickers I used to collect back in the late 80's early 90's when I was in elementary school...great memories! I just started last year getting back into looking into where the sports cards/memorabilia industry and hobby is and I have been reading a bunch of articles and watching videos and yea I think its such crap that your card can be "graded" as 7 right of a brand new package with no noticeable flaws. These grade companies are just ripping people off. Cards that are a "so called 9 or 10" are worth tons more than a card ungraded that look almost identical. I will never buy a graded card that is much more than an ungraded one that looks identical or get my cards graded. I will buy "raw" or ungraded cards, If they look mint or in decent shape i will buy them for the love of sports, the hobby, and nostalgia. I am glad the collectors see that! Thanks for the reply!

Cesar Reynoso Jr. s
Cesar Reynoso Jr. The reason you buy graded from a reputable psa, is you have a little peace of mine they are not counterfeit. With today's technology and easy access to places like asia over the internet, ever wonder why you see cards that are rare ww2 Era that look gem mint? If it's too good to be true it probably is.
There is no grading companies in the record collecting world. You just trust the seller or ask for a soundclip. Why can't people just grade themselves and take a photo the card?
Is this really worth the time & effort as an investment??? I recently acquired a huge plastic bin & binder full of sports cards.. From what i've seen so far 84-93 give or take.. These are raw cards... Is it worth my time & effort or should I just torch the $50 worth of cards I got & take it as a lesson??? I've seen some cards that go good on ebay but they are mint 10 gems & these ones aren't =J was condering this as a investment hobby bc I come across cards all the time & hate the idea of passing something of great value as I'm into collectables in general but if it's not worth my money time & effort I'm done.. Please advise!!!!
The era you’ve mentioned is considered the “Junk era” for a reason. Most wont even look at those years and would consider it to be an absolute waste of money. Buying cards for investing is a really bad idea. Do it for the love of collecting.
@@BergenPickerscom Ok no more cards!!! Ty
@@BergenPickerscom So is it safe to say cards pre 80s have some actual potential value worth looking at?
All depending on which player, which year, and condition of card, of course. Again, don’t buy for investment purposes.
@@BergenPickerscom Ok no more cards... They aint worth chit lol I got a nice pile of kindle tho XD
the 87 Jordan 9 O/C ...this is actually a 7 when knocked down 2 for the O/C. Collectors should be made aware of this.
This is why I like Beckett’s grading system a bit more.
Man when I was a little kid I thought my baseball cards were going to be worth millions when I grew up haha
+Matt Sims Yeah! We all did! Hahaha
Lol
Do they ever offer a service where you can schedule a time and sit with a reviewer to watch them grade your cards? I'd be down for that, even for 50.00 per card.. kinda like watching a mechanic work on your car, you hope they don't do anything screwy
This should be the way it’s done, but no such reputable service exists with the same desirability as the PSA or BGS graded cards.
TELL THEM TO MAKE A VIDEO PUT IT ON TH-cam
I have a Michael Jordan fleer rookie how much is it worth
You can send us some pictures. First you’ll have to make sure it’s authentic if you didn’t actually pull it from a pack. Condition is everything when it comes to cards.
People sell raw cards all the time on ebay, they get pretty good money for them too. I would recommend not to buy any ungraded old cards on ebay that are high value. People have been known to counterfeit them unless you know what the counterfeits look like.
psa cards can easily be opened. I dropped one by accident and the holder came apart. Also grading is very subjective. ie a 7 is likely no worse then a 6 and no better then an 8
I know someone who buys the old boxes and sets for like $5-$10 and sells them for double the price. The 80's and 90's still sell. Everyone hates the 90's but I love the part of my collection that is from the 90's. 1990 donruss looks ugly but I love it.
I have 1954 rookie year Hank Aaron, all of them, baseball hereors, it worth something?
An actual Hank Aaron rookie card is always valuable, pending condition. Any reprints, aren't.
if you think you have cards worth money , get a table at a local card show. you will have a better chance to sell your cards. But make sure the good cards are in a clean card holder . buy a beckett and find out some prices. enjoy doing shows just to sell off my extra cards. you get to meet so many other card dealers .
How much do you think, that Hank Aaron card is worth?
How much for a 1916 Babe Ruth card?
1916 cards are very valuable. The highest value recently sold for $475 with a blank back. Most sell for much less. It’s the 1933 Goudey card which is more desirable.
Excuse me, I meant to type “aren’t” very valuable.
Ken Griffey Jr. Fleer 1989 Rookie Baseball Card #548
I have the sealed box of the 89 Fleer. What is the difference between the same card being offered for 950.00 and another for 10.00 on eBay?
Thank you In Advance
Well, it could be that one is highly graded graded, the other isn’t. It could be condition, illusions of grandeur by the seller. Could be all kinds of different factors, depends on which cards we are talking about.
@@BergenPickerscom Thanks , I was referring to "Ken Griffey Jr. Fleer 1989 Rookie Baseball Card #548
Would I be correct to assume that a card fresh out of the box is not the highest grade possible?
it seems like a crapshoot.
Yes, there’s only a small chance that it would be graded a gem mint 10.
I have a 1974 red sox.team player card signed by 12 members of the team.??????ss.any thoughts.???
If you're speaking in terms of value, that would all depend on which players signed it. If you're trying to sell it, your next step would be to have the autographs authenticated. Now, depending on who signed it, this maybe or maybe not worth your time and investment.
Bergen Pickers thanks for the info I got some cards I picked up about 15 year's back just wandering about the value
You said that you don’t even bother with cards from the 80’s and 90’s. What’s up with the Frank??
Already had a box of old wax packs, cracked them open and sent them in for grading to see what they’d come back as. I don’t look to purchase cards from that era unless I like a specific player.
He said nothing from the 80's to current. We are currently seeing a new junk era in 2019 with EVERYTHING being auto/relic now. And... with sticker autos... Panini and Topps are producing 1000 or more of these cards that are supposed to be done on a "limited run."
I saved all my rookies,inserts etc
Now i want to go look thru them lolz
$58 for that Hank Aaron... Damn!!! someone got ripped off big time
+tommy _ Well, someone may have paid that for this card at some point. Nowadays that wouldn't fly.
That hank Aarron was worth no more then 10$ honestly.
@tommylabors _
Yea, the highest that card ever booked was like $30-35, in that condition - even back in the day I couldn't see anyone paying more than $12-15 for the card - I mean the card is pretty rough... I mean even back in the day that's the type of card you would find at a card show in one of the $3, $5, $7 or $10 dollar mix & match boxes/bins (I've seen 73' Aarons in all those bins).... I highly doubt someone paid $58 for that card, I'm sure someone just put the card in that holder.
@Bergen Pickers
$58 for that card would never fly, even back in the day (I worked at a card shop throughout the 90's), the highest that card ever booked was like $30-35 in NM/M "high book" and no one could argue that is a NM card.. In 1994 that's a $10 card tops, certainly not $58 (even if it was mint) and today it's worth $3.00... You could probably get $5.00 even on ebay w/ free shipping.
Hey I'll buy it for $5.00 if you want to sell it.. I have (71) 1973 Aarons already - seriously I have 71, whenever I see the card and it's priced reasonably I'll buy it if it's less than $10...... That 1973 set is a nice set, probably one of my all time favorites.
You've got to remember, card shops used to charge all kinds of money for their stuff.
Well I think I'm crossing this hobby/investment off my list... It's a complete shit show smh... Just hope I can get my money back on all the cards I have =/ ugh.. But I'll never get my time & energy back
I started back 2 months ago. I get nothing but Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley rookie cards. Mostly less than/25 made. 😁
if I send my cards out to get graded,how do.I know I will get back the same card.
No way of knowing
Cuz its PSA.
I have a mint condition 1978 eddie murray rookie card
Me to what's it worth ungraded
Me too!! 👍👍😃
I know this might be a stupid question to ask but, is ther any way I could pull up a list of names of different players all throughout the years and find out how much they're worth?
There are plenty of lists and price guides out there, but pretty much all of them are inaccurate. Especially for ungraded cards. You’ll never get an exact dollar amount for what a card is worth.
Just opened a safe full of cards that was in my basement, my dad said they were worth millions of dollars but he’s saving them... we out here broke 😂 lol, Idk, I’d rather buy land and go live off in the land than keep the cards, just me... but I kind of understand that there’s more value than just money in them...
I have a second year gretzky graded 9
I got Sammy Sosa rookie card how much you think it's worth
Nowadays It's impossible to tell you what a card like this is worth without seeing what condition it's in, if it's cut properly, edge condition, corners, etc. Having a rookie card to a known player doesn't mean as much anymore without the above factors considered.
Mase Cruz Sammy Sosa rookie card is worth nothing.
Not very much
thanks for the awesome information! I'll certainly check out the website!!
Thanks for watching.
+Bergen Pickers are missed prints worth anything ? I have a football card a 2007 rookie calvin johnson that I believe is a missed print card I've searched around 100 times with the card numer year and I get a card with a totally different image online on eBay or any site that has that issued numbered card. it doesn't even spear on the image Google search it's a upper deck 2007 the upper deck logo is on the opposite side and the image is way different but the back is identical to the other ones

Also the cards I had, had never been touched and we're in a lockup for 40 some years. My vision of card grading fell into the toilet. Thanks psa.
I like the cards that are in hard plastics that have no grade to them? if theres no crease on that Ryan I would say that's what a 7 looks like not perfect but not horrible? go figure is right that's what a 10 looks like the Frank Thomas card?
I have thousands of Cards...all sports...some over 60 years olds...I wouldn't trust one of those dishonest bastards grading them unless I could watch there every movement from Jordon to Nolan Ryan...Joe Montana rookie years...there still minimum wage earning peoples...looking for that big score card.

I bought the complete 1978 Topps baseball cards from a sports store back in 1989. Just wondering how my investment is today. Any clue sir.
Well, this is a complicated question to answer nowadays, but I'll try. A complete 1978 Set with all 132 Graded 9's and 10's recently Sold for $1,900 as of April 24th, 2019. At auction, the most recent ungraded set, sold for $346 on March 30th, 2019 all cards having been placed inside sheets in a binder. Condition of the cards were excellent to near mint. Now, keep in mind the star card is the Eddie Murray Rookie Card #36, and a PSA graded 10 Gem Mint recently sold for $17,600 at auction on March 17th, 2019 by PWCC (Highly reputable dealer). Hope this helps.
Bergen Pickers thank you for your extremely quick response. Mine have been in a binder as you described. I think I’ve made my money back haha. A side note. I painted a mans house back in 2007. He had multiple (did I say multiple) sets of Topps in the original boxes never opened. From 1951 up to the present. He gave me 4 Yaz cards ( 1 rookie) when I got done.
Great story! That’s awesome!
I believe when a card fan orders what they deem as vintage,they should get vintage , not junk wax era cards or heritage!😝
I am still trying to understand Grading Companies....what are the credentials of these graders that makes their decisions law? This grading is not Rocket science, educated card collectors can do the same job grading. How many graders do they use that they can bang out thousands of cards a week? How do you know they are not "switching" cards on customers? In short professional grading is a joke...sell your cards by negotiating with potential buyers yourself.
You’ve made valid points, and brought up issues that divide many current collectors. Some suspect switching, there have also been claims on authentic cards being returned as fakes etc.
That is not dwight evans rookie card bro i have it and thats not it
Yeah, you're right. It isn't his rookie card. He got mixed up with the other rookie cards in the video.
Dwight Evans rookie is in 73 topps not 75. Some guy named Mike Schmidt is on the same card.

Would all depend on condition, if it’s raw or graded. If graded, what grade etc. depends on multiple factors. Also, the controversy about how many of them were actually printed for the purpose of collectibility when they first came out. Lots of factors. eBay sold listing could give you an approximation if what your card could be worth, yet keep your expectations at a manageable level.
Jimmy Holland 89 upper deck PSA 10 goes for around 500 bucks plus .
do u buy numbered cards low numbered cards
Currently we are only purchasing cards from the 1960's and earlier. Some from the 1970's.
I would never give my cards to these kids these days .... they don't appreciate shit . Trust me those cards will on floor in the corner of there closest and then eventually in the trash while the play on there iPad ....and plus they don't even know the old players ; why would they care .
Some kids care, my son has binders of cards and always takes care them. Also its not a bad thing if kids tear up and ruin 80s and 90s cards, lots of collectors purposely destroy those cards to decrease the total amount in circulation and potentially increase the value over time.
Sorry, but that 1975 Dwight Evans is not his rookie - 1973 is his rookie. Thanks for the video though!

We are in Charlotte, NC
Bergen Pickers I have a bunch of different cards allot of 90’s and 80’s but some from earlier years. I understand that condition is a factor in determining the value. But will a Beckett give me a good gauge if certain cards are valuable or not?
Once the cards are graded value should be much easier to establish. Just make sure you know which cards are worth sending in.
The Frank Thomas looks better then a 7...
I bet Jerry Koosman never thought his card would be worth so much money one day.
Sorry that was 15 grandkids and. Also that was I gave them 2 rc each. Ans also that was a awwwwwing and. Ohhhhhing
I think grading cards are going to ruin the hobby. It takes away the whole meaning of card collecting. To me it's like the stock market now. Collecting cards is supposed to be for kids who wanted their favorite players. I'm afraid that people will get burned out and will be left with expensive that aren't worth anything
to me the thomas looks oc top to bottom and left to right. still should be a 9(oc) tho unless its got service issues
WHY THE STORY WITH GMA GRADING ?
Inaccurate ratings, low quality slabbing, lack of transparency on the grading process seems to be the negatives out there. Cheap cost and quick turnaround times are the positives.
I HAVE A ROOKIE ADRIAN BELTRE IS THAT GOOD?
A 1997 Bowman International #194 PSA 10 (Pop 3) Sold for $1175.00 another in same condition for about $800. PSA 9's have been selling for around the $300 mark.
I buy my cards from drug addicts. They sell entire books for $20.
Once I bought a whole trunk full of unopened retail boxes packs etc for a 120 bucks from I’m assuming a heroin addict.
Amazing vid
Would you be interested in a tops Tom Seaver card NY Mets?card no. 80?
It's all about HoF rookies and 'hit cards'. But only hit cards of players that are doing good at that time. (patch/swatch/auto) Which sucks a$$ cause greed.
I'm a collector, and don't care about any of that stuff. I like opening packs, and never buy singles. The BB card lottery goes on!!...
One more thing, you got ripped off by PSA, the 4 should have at least been a 5, Maybe 6, and Frank Thomas 7 should have been at least 9. I think their computers were malfunctioning, I would have challenged their gradings. And 'underwear' you put on a card before putting it into a top loader is called a penny sleeve!
Krysdavar he didn't give a good shot of the back, but it doesn't look perfectly centered. With the abundance of newer cards they are less likely to give 9 or 10 unless it's gem. Also be aware of the new cards autos and such, only time will tell. Just my opinion but when they have they sometimes what 5 or 6 variations, different colors and refractors. Suddenly that /100 becomes out of 1000 or more. And every set from all brands have autos. Half are stickers put on the card. Most of the swatch is from event not a game. Only a few out there where I've seen where it says what game it is actually from. To each there own but the jury is still out for me, rarity is everything.
Krysdavar I just pulled a box of baseball cards in folder sleeves i got the 1990 score rookies 72 of them Craig biggio,topps 40th anniversary with a few errors,bowman chrome rookies about 15 of them i got atleast 100 rookies and these cards look like they never been touched brand new looking still I don't know anything about baseball though
And do you guys think 50$ for 5000 baseball cards from 1990s & up is a good deal ? There all in folders with penny sleeves also
Because they just assume that that was the cards that they sent in. If you know your cards, you know your cards. No questions at all. Sorry I definitely got ripped off. ARGUE ALL YOU WANT. I USED A BLUE PEN AND I DON'T SEE THE MARK AFTER THEY CAME BACK. JUST SAYING, NO ARGUING TO THAT.
