Sports Cards ?

Alan Palmer · Jan 3, 2005

Hey All,

A friend of mine needed some cash for christmas so he gave me a few sportscards for a little cash only $250! He said he would purchase them back but now says he does not want them back, I was just curious these cards are not in mint condition but they are not in horrible condition but anyway I wanna post a few of them and maybe someone can tell me if they are worth anything! I have tried to find prices online but I really no nothing about sportscards! Thanks for any input!

All I want to know is what to ask a local card dealer for these cards! I know I wont get $250 as I have already marked that as a loss but what should I expect by selling them all to a greedy sportscard dealer!

Most card dealers will give you absolute lowest possible amount because they have a hard time selling what they have.

Card hobby died long ago because of over production

An Akeem Olujawon Is Rare Just Messing With You He Really Helped To Turn The Raptors Franchise Around.

Ok this is the most you'll get for each card...I looked.

And by that I mean selling on ebay. a dealer will give you no more than 25% of what I post.

1990 fleer troy aikman card no 384
$2-$3
1992 topps ken griffey jr card no 50
$3-$4
1987-88 Fleer Akeem Olajuwon card no 80
$1
1986 Fleer Nolan Ryan Card no 310
$3
1989 Donruss Curt Schilling no 635
$5
2 1986 topps John Elway no 112
$5

The rest aren't worth going through because they're next to worthless. Check ebay if you don't believe me. Sorry man...I learned this lesson when I tried to sell my old card collection. It's literally worth more to just keep whatever you have unless your cards are ultra rare or from the 60's

A dealer will probably offer you $20. Which isn't even worth it. Sell them on ebay as one lot for $35-$40. That's the most you'll get.

I wonder why he didnt want them back.:biglaugh:

HacheMan · Jan 3, 2005

Actually the Steve Young is worth $20, if it's in good condition.......
Warren Moon is $15 with same stipulation as above........

Alan Palmer · Jan 3, 2005

thanks for the response guys, I was just helping the boy out for christmas hell I figured I would get stuck with them! I figured they were worth more than that though wow! thanks for the price updates hache the young card is in decent condition the moon card looks very good, I figured the sosa and johnson upperdeck rookies were good cards because I use to hear people talking about upperdeck cards being worth more! so I guess if I can get $50 for the whole shabang I will be lucky! Have a great night guys and thanks!

WorldRunner · Jan 3, 2005

He's right about the Young card. Seems like you can get $15 for Young on Ebay.

The moon card seems to only get $5-6 though

Alan Palmer · Jan 3, 2005

thanks worldrunner! I have never dealt with e-bay so the easiest thing for me is to sell them all at 1 time and just take my loss! there are a about 10 more cards I did not list which they are probably just a $1 or $2 each as well!

Alan Palmer: You should buy a Beckett price guide... www.beckett.com / http://www.beckett.com/priceguides/

Hope you end up recovering a larger portion of your loss friend.

HacheMan · Jan 3, 2005

Alan, you can get one month for a particular sports for $3-$4 at the Beckett link Tiko sent you. I wouldn't bother unless you just want to see some prices for youself. I hate to say it my friend, but you may only get $20-$25 max back for those cards, unless you can find a sucker somewhere! Ummmmmmmmm.........I mean.........

hno:
LOL........just messing with ya!

I have got some old cards too that I would like to unload for a fair price.
My most valuable is probably 1975 Topps set (G.Brett rookie).
Also have: 94 Upperdeck set, 81 Donruss, 78,79,80 and 85 Topps set. Tons of other misc cards. Hey Dante, I have old Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates cards if you are interested. I know about the Becketts guides, can you still get them in card shops or are they just online now?

American · Jan 4, 2005

I get my Beckett's in Walden Bookstore.

GreenDoberman · Jan 4, 2005
