odd find

[W2NAP]

So I was going though my closet. found something... interesting.

baseball and football cards.

not just a few. were talking boxes of them

now I wonder how much I can get out of them lol

[NQ6U]

I never knew there was such a thing as football cards.

[W2NAP]

yea they have football cards.. (i know cause I have some lol) I have so many of these damn cards, if i was able to get $1 out of every single card id be f'n rich.

I seriously have enough cards to start a damn card shop.

big thing i wonder is. are they actually worth anything.. if they are hell id like to make enough to buy me some radio crap.

For obvious reasons, people aren't buying them like they used to. They probably would be worth hanging on to because I imagine they will increase in value over time, again. If you did sell them now, you would most likely only get a pittance. Unless, of course, you have a rare one.

You still got the gum they came with?

You could put some in your spokes. It sounds cool. Balloons are better, though.

Yep, I agree about the market thing.
Remember the Lady Di Beanie Baby?

$30K in their heyday. Now the type of actual offers people get for them is $15.
You will note one of the ebay ones is priced at $175,000 but it will be relisted forever.
I was never into Beanie Babies but I did some reading on them over the Summer because a box of them were given to me and people didn't even want to give a single dollar for them.
"I'll give you 25 cents for this one."
"M'aam, that's a Rocky and Bullwinkle. I can't take less than a dollar for it."

Years ago, a good friend had some really old and collectable baseball cards from the early days. One was worth at least $20K. Then one day the whole BB card market just fell the **** out and his collection was pretty much worth a whole lot less than he paid for them. Of note, he did not pay $20K for that one card, more like $300 at a garage sale but for a short while, it was being listed at a value of $20K. He had it mounted under glass when he found out. He had a few other cards worth up to $5K at the time. This was about very late 80s to very early 90s.

Look them up and get what you can. I suspect that one day you'll be kicking yourself though.

looking them up would take ages. I have a blue f'n million of these things. I dont need them really. id honestly rather have some radio stuff. (cause im hf-less and cant afford one)
