  • Check sold items on eBay to get an idea what the boxes go for. Offer an amount so that you can make a fair profit, take into consideration the 12% fees on ebay.

    Honestly, not much. $60? As Grote said "check ebay". Late '80's-early '90's packs aren't worth a lot.
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.
  • Essentially, worthless. No disrespect.

    You do have RC's of Griffey, Randy Johnson, Sosa, +, but they sadly sell for the amount written on the pack.

    And, when packing/shipping them, it usually costs more than the box itself.

    They are fun to open I'm sure, but I don't know how to.

    Good luck!

    The 92-93 TSC basketball should be worth something if it's the series with Shaq RC and Beam Team insert. Probably not a whole lot, but I wouldn't exactly consider it junk wax either (like the others on the list).

    Those are the type of boxes that are worth more opened.
  • If you open them and pull the star player/RC's, get the Gems or at least strong nines, you could make some money. If you graded 50 cards, pulled about 70 percent 10's you could make a few hundred dollars on top of the $300 or so grading fees. A lot of work!!!

    Maybe $60 to $80 in sales off of the boxes.

    Sorry not worth a whole lot. Offer $30 or so dollars, then sell in a 3 or 4 lots.

    Good luck and have fun!

    And what's worse is that people who own boxes from this era and are "in the mood to make a deal" tend to not want to accept the fact that their investment hasn't gone so well.

    92-93 Stadium Club Basketball needs to be series 2 to have any value for those RCs and beam team inserts. Even then they are not worth much per box.

    I just offered him 40.00 he said I was ripping him off and wanted 100.00 plus...I told him good luck on getting anything over $40 for them..I just want to thank all who replied as I don't know much about late 80's stuff....scott
