My name is Emily, and my father ran this account. I know he spent a lot of time on here because he used to tell me a lot about what was going on in his discussion boards and who "liked" something he commented etc. I'm sorry to say he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in August. My dad had such a love for sports cards and memorabilia. He left everything he owned (boxes upon boxes filling an entire room) to me and my little brother. I feel overwhelmed at the moment trying to think of what to do with it all. If my dad had his way, I would look up the prices of every individual card he owns to make sure I was getting the best prices for everything. But, as a 23 year old with virtually no knowledge beyond the little I've picked up from him over the years, I'm at a loss. If anyone has any tips for me, or suggestions on how to go about possibly selling some of his cards I'd really appreciate it. I'm grateful my dad had somewhere to share his love of cards with likeminded people

Re: Sports Card Market Overall
But, I wouldn't mind buying all of your 2000 SP Authentic Brady's at your 2000 price while he was riding the pine. And I'll take any of your 86 Fleer Jordan PSA 9 at 2013 prices. The fact is that the… (View Post)3
