I sold 250 Jeter UD rookies for $400.Best trade you ever made as a kid?

Never hears of him, but found a card of his for $7,000. How many should I buy?Get yourself a Wander Franco rookie card. Kid is special.
Traded my new Easton bat, for 2 Fleer Dwight Gooden Rookie cards.....Then sold them to a local dealer, for $300; Dwight was the dude then. Card today is worth about $90.Best trade you ever made as a kid?
I probably never made a good trade. I would try and hoard all of the Will Clark cards I could get and nobody was giving up their Griffey’s or Jackson’s (1988-1991). I do remember trying to go after people’s Rated Rookies for Darryl Strawberry and Vince Coleman type cards. I’m sure I got a few Frank Thomas cards in the deal but no doubt I ended up with more Todd Zeile’s.
Of course, just about all of these cards were Topps, Fleer, Score and Donruss. They’re basically worthless today but we had fun with them in the day.

At one time, I had about 10 McGwire rookie cards. Including his USA card.Boss card
Baseball cards just aren't what they were back in my day. I had a shit ton. A great collection. But then there became too many cards. Lost their value. Topps was the shit when I was growing up...Then Fleer. IMO, I felt Fleer held value a lot longer. Upper Deck was a good card as well. Today, though? I mean, I don't see baseball cards in stores like I use to.I probably never made a good trade.

Yep. They made a bad ass card. And a ton of them. Kids loved'em.Pretty sure I remember my dad buying me the set of ‘91 Upper Deck for like $80 in 1991. Can now buy for $20.
Turns out that starting in 1989, Upper Deck began to overproduce cards causing inflation. Kids and traders were buying up the cards assuming price would increase. Upper Deck basically ****ed us all.

I saw two of them go on Ebay for 90$. Here is a current price for the card:Nice. That ain’t a $90 today though.
You basically have to go back to the 1960’s before average baseball cards have any real value. There’s pretty much nothing that came out in the 1980’s that’s of any value now. The 1990’s began doing those special additional sets where there would only be a limited number of Jeters or Arod’s.Pretty sure I remember my dad buying me the set of ‘91 Upper Deck for like $80 in 1991.

Memories, man...Oh the memories. I recall getting TWO McGwire rookie cards in back to back packs---Dude, I jumped up and down all the way home. I had no idea, nor did I care, what it was worth, or would be(worth). I just knew it was THE dude, at the time. Same with getting a Griffey card. Same with cards such as Vince Coleman....Strawberry...Bo, etc, etc...As a kid, you didn't care that these cards were wortth money. YOu just cared that you had one, and your friends did not....Topp’s is the only remaining licensed MLB card maker apparently.
That’s what somebody is asking for it. You saw a confirmed sale go for $90 or just others asking?I saw two of them go on Ebay for 90$. Here is a current price for the card:
1984 Fleer Update Baseball Dwight Gooden RC Rookie #U43 NM-MT
$94.99

They can have what’s in my closet in grocery bags for $10.Someone needs to come in and buy millions of cards on the cheap and destroy.
Those are advertised “for sale” prices. They are not prices that are realized. Don’t even begin to think large numbers of cards would sell at those prices even if one or two did.I saw two of them go on Ebay for 90$. Here is a current price for the card:

Meh...I haven't looked at Beckett in quite some time. I did see the card at a local shop, priced at 70$... Either way, rather its worth $90 bucks, or 75 cents---I came out on the good side.Those are advertised “for sale” prices. They are not prices that are realized.

Grading brings a whole new dimension to the game.
Naaah. Saw the card at a local shop for $70. I got a chuckle. I haven't looked at Beckett in a long, long time. Either way----I came out on top..That’s what somebody is asking for it. You saw a confirmed sale go for $90 or just others asking?
I have unopened or unwrapped boxes of O-Pe-Che cards with Frank Thomas rookie cards, have the unopened box of Upper Deck extended edition in their 1st year of producing Base Ball cards, supposedly has the Ken Griffey Jr card, won't open it has I already have Jr's rookie card by Upper Deck, almost have the complete set of Stadium clubs 1st edition.
the problem is today most of the cards sold from 1989 on, is that everybody as soon as they got a rookie card they put them into seperate plastic sheeves to protect them, the ones pre 70's kids took them then snitched moms clothes pins and put them on their bycycle spokes to sound cool, that made them scarce and Topps ussually put one card in with a piece of gum,
this limited the numbers available which makes them more valuable, maybe in 20+ years Trading cards will become valuable. then our grandchildren or grand children can use them or just play with them like some of us did in our youth
The frank thomas rookie error with no name on front was worth like a grand probably more now. My favorite rookie card I have will always be the Griffey jr upper deck rookie.

Bert witnessed the 1869 big red machine@Bert Higginbotha started collecting in 1897 and traded a Cy Young for a Honus Wagner rookie card.

I bet you wish you would've sold your Beanie Babies collection back then too!I sold my entire childhood collection in ~'93. I regretted it for a long time, now I'm super happy b/c it would a small fraction of what I got for them then.
what card was that on? I never really paid attention to that part, must have 20-30 FT cards of different card companies.The frank thomas rookie error with no name on front was worth like a grand probably more now.
