    Has anyone here ever collected sports cards?
    I have a collection of sports cards from the late 80s to the mid 90s, mostly baseball but also some basketball and hockey, and I'm pretty sure I have over
    1000 cards. That includes a complete set of 1992 baseball cards from one card
    company (I don't remember the name off the top of my head, and they're packed
    in a box in the closet). I'd be curious what the value of my collection is.
    I'm not sure if there are many people in my area who would look at each card and value them for me and provide an honest value. It would take lots of time
    to go through my whole card collection myself. I remember there being sports
    card price guides back in the day. I was talking to a card seller a couple years ago and asked about that, and he said he thought it was best to look on
    eBay and such and see what the cards are selling for. It would take quite some
    time to look up each card like that..


    I did too from 1989-1993 that was the big prime of the market. Beckett is still around
    and they still have some free access to some of their pricing data. It was in the peak of
    the industry where many of the stuff we paid good dollar did sharply reduce in value.
