I picked this one up at the local card store in 2018 for $5 bucks or so, before the hype got revved up. Now the same card on eBay is going for $3600.

Hell, Deshaun Watson just dropped 45k on a Dwyane Johnson college card.
Stuff I had sold just last fall is worth 3-4x now what it was then, and I thought I did good at the time. I don't get it. |
It's crazy!

Last night I was watching a rerun from around 2013 of Pawn Stars on History Channel, and a guy brought in his set of Topps 1991 Baseball Cards Set of 792 cards made only for the troops in Saudi Arabia in Desert Storm. They only made a few hundred sets and only sold them on the base.
Rick asks, where did you get it, he said since the Desert Storm was over so quick and guys didn't really want to fool with these baseball cards out in the desert, most sets got sent back to a base in New Jersey. Which is where he said he bought it. Rick didn't know much about it, so he called in his baseball expert who owns a Sports business in Las Vegas. The guy arrives and he looks at the set and said all 792 are here, it's worth about $1200. On the first page are Cal Ripken and Nolan Ryan cards, and he sees they all have a gold seal in the upper right corner, and all the cards are sealed in plastic sleeves. He said, so far so good, so he flips to the middle and to card #333 Chipper Jones rookie card. He said, this card alone is worth $1,000. He looks, and it's not sealed and the gold seal is missing from the upper right. The guy said, this is card is not even mint like the others, and without the seal it's worth only about $5, so now the whole set is only worth about $200 without the Chipper Jones Gold Seal Rookie Card. The sellers goes, Oh, I didn't even notice that. My opinion, I think the guy did notice it, and tried to pull a fast one on the Pawn Shop and probably sold that good card separately and thought he would bring in the set with the bogus card and try and get top dollar. This just goes to show that with sports cards and grading and everything else, you have to really know your shit!! I just looked on eBay and a complete set with the Chipper Jones rookie card with the gold seal is now selling for $6,000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-Topps-...gAAOSwg5lgBahB https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/JNgAA...hB/s-l1600.jpg Even the plain Chipper Jones rookie card without the gold seal is up to $99 https://www.ebay.com/itm/18424071005...RoCNFkQAvD_BwE https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/H8AAA...7i/s-l1600.jpg |

I would need to get it graded to fetch top dollar, but I'm not going to sell it, so I won't bother. |

Things just continue to explode. The current Goldin auction ends in 15 days. There should be at least 2 or 3 million dollar cards on this one. A Kobe Chrome RC refractor is already at $1.01 million.

I have a crap ton of old Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jerry Rice cards. Going to look them up on Ebay.

My local Walmart (the only place in town to get football cards) has completely gotten rid of their display boxes, as if they won't even try to carry them anymore... it doesn't make a damn bit of sense, never seen anything like it
**** you, Panini |

There are videos of employees walking out with carts full recently. It is impossible to police unless they keep at customer service. That and people just grabbing everything and going to self checkout. I know at my stores, me just looking at cards I see 3 people stopping by in the five minutes I am there. Kc is a wasteland and probably 1000s at minimum flipping packs. I got lucky a few weeks ago on NBA cards. Going to sit on. They were 2020s. |

I always liked the action packed cards with the puffy edges on stuff...dunno why those never became valuable, they're awesome. https://i.imgur.com/eYv4346.jpg https://i.imgur.com/laaih9x.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6VHplg6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jHP7v9o.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PvddAui.jpg |
I need to look up my cards. I have quite a few in boxes and some in a safe. Haven’t checked any value on them in a decade. Is eBay best spot to check prices?
Mostly 90’s cards. |
I was able to look up everything in my collection.
None of it's worth much. Rookie cards it seems are the only things of real value. |

This will show you what they sold for on eBay, not what people are asking. |
Yes. I just type in the athlete name, set name and year and I can usually find the card.
Make sure you check all the auctions because usually some idiot is trying to scam someone with a jacked up price. |

I think the exception is autographed cards.
I wonder if Joe would autograph all my cards LMAO |
I know I have that Jerry Rice rookie card. Seems pretty common. I’ll check some others.

You shouldn't have to be some crack detective with lots of free time on your hands to enjoy a simple hobby like this... it didn't use to be that way, and shouldn't be that way now I hate these asshat sonsabitches ruing it for everyone, can't wait for the bubble to burst (and it always does with memorabilia) so they can lose their asses |
I’ve got 96-97 upper deck Kobe rookie card.

What’s the cost of getting cards PSA graded since that’s what seems to fetch the crazy prices?

I have no freakin explanation for why certain cards are going ballistic. I was fortunately part of one of the most recent and strange explosions. I bought this 1979 Venorlandus Muhammad Ali like 10 years ago for like $20. I had it on my table at sooooo many shows over the years at $30 and never so much as a nibble. I finally moved it to my $10 bargain box and still no sale. Fast forward to tonight, it sold on ebay for $1,880!

To get your money’s worth, how many cards do you need to send in? I’ve watched YouTube guys turn in 100’s of cards at once. |
Quote:
Kind of hard to say how many cards does it take to get your $$$ worth, could be only one card if it grades out to a PSA 10 and it’s a desirable player. The centering and sharpness of the corners of the card needs to be perfect, without any kind of blemish to even get a chance to be a PSA 10. PSA 9s are still good. You have to do some research on your cards and see what they are selling for in the different grades, and to determine if it’s worthwhile to get them graded. New cards today, everyone puts the valuable players right away into protective holders to reduce the chances of getting the corners bent, or other damage. |

Price went up, but the one good thing about is now you only have to send in 10 cards to get the discount price. Before you had to send in 20 cards. I’ve been wanting to send in some pre 1971 cards but I didn’t have enough to get the discount, but now I can. These cards are for me, not reselling them, a couple of Namaths, Lew Alcindor (before he changed his name), Maravich and Willie Mays. I’ll be curious to see what grades they get.

I think this will hurt the guys who send in a bunch & it actually helpful for a guy like me. |
Anyone been to a card show lately?

I don't think this is a smart idea for these grading companies to be so God damn expensive, especially when you're gonna have to wait like half a year. I could see one of the smaller/less used companies swooping in and making a name for themselves if they were smart about it.

I also have a friend that will fix or wax cards before grading. Thought it was bs until I saw them back graded. If he doesn't like the grade he just breaks them and resends until he gets the rating he wants. ****ing racket. |

You guys see that signed Luka Doncic RC that recently sold for $4.5 million? So damn crazy.
I have an autograph Mahomes PSA 10 (non-sticker auto) that I’ll sell for half that price. Let me know. |
