Baseball/Football/Other Sports Cards You Thought Would Be Worth Something
I'm sure there are a lot of collectors here.
Do you ever remember opening a pack of cards and thinking that you hit the Jackpot, only to later think back upon that and laugh? What were those cards? |

I was young, I think maybe 16 or 17 and I opened an autographed Patrick Ramsey rookie card and the Redskins were my 2nd favorite team at the time. (I don't really have a 2nd favorite team anymore).
I think it's probably worth $1 if that today. |

1989 Upper Deck Complete Factory set sealed in box (Griffey's RC was #1 in the set). Got it for my 11th birthday and never opened it. Twenty years later it's worth less than the day I got it.
In 1993, UD had "Silver Signature" and "Gold Signature" cards. For a while, the Nolan Ryan Gold was worth $250 bucks in its year of issue. I had dozens of Silver Signatures (one per pack). I think the only Gold I ever got was Rondell White. Mother****er. I think I have a George Brett SS. It was worth like $6 once.

I don't think it was ever worth more than 120. In fact, I think it's the most owned set in history.

I'm kind of glad that I was a kid before we began worrying about "collectible value". I was happy to get Chiefs cards, and I actually played with the cards and used them to build lineups and stuff. The thought of value never crossed my mind.
How weird. I actually got a whiff of the bubble gum smell when I wrote that. My memory bubbled up and I actually smelled it.
