Need a little help...

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I came across some cards (most are from the 90's era - all sports) and was wondering if there is any reason to try and unload them? Is there any interest in the hobby for these cards/years? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

    wow, theres about 1500-2000 cards but I think most are just junk. I have started to sort them but wondering if it is worth the trouble. There was a box that was seperated with fewer cards so I am guessing these were better cards (may still be nothing). Ummm lets see..

    There is a Antawn Jamison SP Authentic 1999, Predrag Stojakovic SP Authentic 1999, Dirk Nowitzki SP Authentic 1999 (x2), Baron Davis SPx 1999 (has autograph), Tracy McGrady Masters Year??? (#85 of 280), Kevin Garnett premier SP prospects 1996 (x2), John Stockton Fleer 1988, Chris Webber Topps Finest 1994 ... tons more should I bother to list any more or just forget it? As for condition I don't really know, all look basically good (they are all in hard plastic type sleeves. My guess is to just throw em back in the box and forget about it right?


    Thanks

    Good for you.

    As far as condition goes I tried to take a photo of some of the cards (I think a scanner would be better - don't have one) ....

    OK, thanks. I figured there was probably not much interest but thought I would ask. Trash goes out tomorrow so I can clear out some more room in the garage.


    Thanks again.

    Some neighborhood kids would like them.

    Also, GoodWill or Salvation Army will give
    you a tax-receipt for them.

    The should also be searched for autos, and/or
    other "special" stuff.

    Not sure what everyone else is thinking but those Dirk's are $50-100 cards. You should perhaps go through them a little more before tossing them or giving away. I collect modern basketball so if you have a question you can message me.

    good luck

    That Rodriguez SP RC also sells for about $75, as well. I honestly have no idea what the other posters on this thread were thinking, unless they are ignorant of modern card prices or $75 is just a drop in the bucket for them. Not for me! I'd be interested in one of those Dirk's and that Baron Davis SPX if you are selling.

    Sorry I'm confused... I really do not watch sports (I obviously know some of the names) but are these worth looking thru or is everyone joking?

    You should go through them all, before you toss/give them away.

    The Davis from the earlier picture is numbered on the back (I just saw it) 242/500


    OK here is some more pics of some....

    There are 2 of the Garnett Premier, 2 of the Nash Draft Pick, the McGrady is the one that says 85 of 289 (has a box on the back in the bottom that says card 316 theme m44 and rare refactor), and the James is numbered on the back 1982/2500

    Cool cards. How come you don't think these are worth keeping/selling? The auto cards are neat and there're other limited cards. Obvious to me they're worth something.

    I was trying to find out but I think I may be the butt of a joke. I don't know if people are making jokes or for real. One posts says they are worth something another says the neighborhood children would like them or take them to the salvation army. I am guessing I am the butt of the joke.

    No, your not the butt of a joke. Those cards are worth keeping and trying to sell. There are people on here who would pay you cash for those, and I am sure you could make some money on Ebay. I think some of our board members may not be up to date on the newer card market.

    Those two Dirk cards book for around $75 each as one poster said. Arod is around the same. Not exactly garbage cards.

    To prove that I am telling the truth, here is a link to an Arod card just like yours, selling for $51 on Ebay....Arod SP RC


    If you have any more questions, please feel free to post here or PM myself or the other poster who offered to help.

    Thank you for updating me. Should I take more pics or just say what I have (best I can)?

    I found some more autographed cards

    If you can make up a list of players, we can tell you what ones may be worth something. Of course not every one will be worth what the Arod is, but it sounds like you may have a nice little find there.

    You can post pics or give us a list the best you can, what ever works best for you. Either way, I will do what I can to help you. image


    BTW....beautiful dog!

    Out of that group, I believe only Mike Singletary would be worth something. Those others I believe are more common players, but Singletary is a Hall of Fame player. I may not be 100% correct, I am just going by what I know about the popularity of the players.


    The Kevin Garnett you posted earlier books for around $65. You can get all of these prices at Tuff Stuff


    Not the most accurate guide, but it will give you an idea of what stuff may sell and what won't. And the online guide is free. That is where I am getting these prices I am quoting you from.

    Thank you very much for the link. I will try and cross reference some of what I have found to see if there are any others that are in that pricing guide.

    If you need any help using the guide, or figuring out what maker/year a card is, let me know. With these new cards, it is very hard to tell what a card is. I have a few that I have no idea because there are so many parallel sets being put out.

    Looking on ebay is a good reference as well, it can give you an accurate price for what your cards would sell for.

    If you have a price in mind for all the basketball cards, let me know. Or if you want to sell them individually, I'd be interested in a few as well. thanks

    You do realize that the Nash, Garnett, and Stockton cards you have are rookie cards, right? They are definitely worth something. Along with the Nowitzki cards. I am surprised at the comments I have read here so far in this thread.

  • GraphixGraphix Posts: 390
    I would like to thank Ahmanfan and Tedw9 for all the help they provided. I read the other post (which is obviously directed towards me and this post) and want to say it was not my intent to upset anyone. I understand and respect his/her opinion and will use the advice that Ahmanfan and Tedw9 have offered rather then take up others time.

    Thank you again.

    //////////////////////////////////

    Graphix:

    Sorry if you were steered in the wrong direction by
    my comment regarding the donation of your cards.
    My good-faith suggestion was made in the context
    of the initial post indicating that the cards were of
    little value AND your post about throwing the
    cards away.

    ALL discovered cards should always be researched
    on EBAY and in price-guides, BEFORE they are disposed
    of. I thought I made that point, but I should have
    been more emphatic.
