Looking through some old baseball cards tonight (translates to "I forgot I had these), I found a 1992 Draft Pick card for Derek Jeter. It looks like it just came off the press. Gotta be worth something.

You can probably get a pack of bubble gum for it.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Looks like it would be in the $20 range. I've got a bunch of rookie cards that I need to check on.

The card market fell apart sometime in the 90's if I remember right.
They still have value, but not like they did in the 80's and early 90's.
Personally, I think sophisticated video games pretty much took care of that. As well as taking the place of many fun things kids used to do to pass the time, and learn things; other than how to virtually kill people.Originally Posted by WU9G

Pre 80's cards still hold their value well, but...
Overprinting of cards starting in the mid 80's did it (According to the local card guru).
My son got into that for awhile.
What I think happened is that too many "speculators" got involved, jacked the prices up, and drove most kids and "collectors" (for the fun of it) out of the market.
Factor in market saturation from too many "new" product lines from existing companies, and a few new companies jumping in...
Suffice to say when the bubble burst, a lot of speculators lost a lot of money. Good for the kids & collectors who could now pick things up cheap, bad for anyone expecting to make a mint on their cards.
Little Miss Field Day has quite a few cards (mainly from one team, guess which one?), but little of any real "value" to anyone except her. And that's the way she likes it. And that's the way I'd like it to stay, for her sake.
But if anyone comes across any Pirates cards they don't want, she will give them a good home!

That's the way it should be, IMO.
I do have a Blas Minor rookie card too.
ETA: And while we are on the subject of Pittsburgh (Steelers), I have two Kevin Greene, signed, cards. One from Pittsburgh and the other from the Rams. These were handed to me personally from Kevin. Nice guy.
