Baseball Cards

[rgramjet]

My son asked to see a collection of baseball cards that I inherited many years back.  I went through them, then I looked some up on ebay.  The 1968 Topps Steve Carlton card is going for $1495.00 for a perfect "10".  Ive got 5 of those cards, two of which I would bet are at least an 8 but more than likely a 9 according to the grading guidelines.  Ive got a few Tom Seavers, Jim Hunters, Willie Mays and Rod Carew.  I have them in rigid protective sleeves but thing I will upgrade to the rigid screw down lexan cases.

All I know about collecting baseball cards is what I read about last night.  Anyone into card collecting?  Best place to store them?

I have mine in the basement with a dehumidifier going.

Look into grading the more expensive ones.

No experience on baseball cards, But I did see a Michael Jordan rookie card in a store with a price tag that would get you a nice little 1098s.

I say sell the Steve Carltons and use the money for mods

Could you post a link to a 1968 Steve Carlton card that is going for $1495    I mean one that is going to sell for that.  Not one that someone has listed for that much.  That is retarded, even though a 10 is extremely rare, that isn't even his rookie card.  If you get a $100 out of that card you're doing good.

More like $30.

Sorry, its actually $1825.  Gotta be a scam...

I have about 6 boxes of cards from the late 80s sitting in my garage.

Some day I will pull them out and either give them to my future son or if I have daughter sell them

AROUND 1987 the card market got silly. they started printing freaky insert sets and creating rarities. I quit collecting new stuf except players i like. I hate the new cards that they cut old jersey and bats up and put a piece in a card.

buy yourself a copy of Beckets and see if your stuff is in there. if it is figure you can get 1/3 of what it says unless you are willing to put it on ebay. stuf out there goes for more if the right 2 people want it at the same time.

I'll give you a Benelli project for the jordan rooky?
