And say you so have a card worth some money, be careful who you sell to. If you try selling to a dealer and they know you don't know what your doing they will thoroughly fukk you. A lot will only give you 10-15% of the book value. They try and sell you some BS about the card depreciating in value due to all a bunch of crap. You could try eBay but good luck getting decent value, it makes hard to get cards that much easier to get this decreasing the value.

Breh...just cop Madden or 2k and Play Madden Ultimate Team or MY Team 2k...

Atleast you can play... Colecting cards is a scam.

It's hot potato. Once you have a rare card, you realize, oh shyt, this really isn't worth shyt. Then you do everything you can to recoup money you spent and sell it to the next sucker.

WakeUpNow

Man the whole concept of selling cards is some finesse type shyt. If I owned a major card company that printed limited editions It could be countless ways I could manipulate the market for economic gain:patrice: As a matter of fact, the whole sports memorabilia industry is full of counter fitted items and the like. I will take it a step further and say to steer clear from any rare/collectible/antique type shyt, unless you the one doing the finessing:mjpls:

There are no rules for collecting stuff. Collect things you like and do basic market research to ensure you are getting good deals for what you're buying.

If you are looking to make money or have a collection that keeps value over time, that takes a lot more work. Most "collectible" stuff doesn't retain value because eventually, the fad ends and demand decreases and supply increases.

I remember when those Griffey upper deck and frank Thomas leaf rookie cards in 1990 were valued at 75.00-80.00...

I checked online the other day and they ain't worth the paper they printed on now...

I thought I was gonna retire early off some of those cards :sadcam:

Most of my cards are in mint condition in the plastic sleeves in a notebook haven't been touched in years. Some of the cards are rookie cards now the players are HOF legends like Brady,Mariano Rivera,Derek Jeter I'll hold on to those for a few more years.

The hypocritical steroid ordeal did devalue a whole generation of card collecting. I have cards from every big time baseball player in that era now they're not worth shyt. My Rivera and Jeter I know I'm going to have to be P.T. Barnum for those to sell.
