Old Baseball Cards I found

[MGCM]

i found some old baseball cards in a drawer at home while digging for batteries.........anyone know values of old baseball cards? Here is a sample

[BigDannyCool]

under $10 probably, for those ones. Trading cards have taken a decline. Unless you have a rare rookie card or something they won't be worth much

Pay $9.00 for a month subscription and you can look up the values here:

Check eBay to get an idea.

pretty much all 1980's and newer cards are pretty much worthless.

There are a few gems to be found for sure, but in the early 80's, these took off in popularity, and every kid started collecting them until about '95. But because of this, there were literally TONNES and TONNES of these printed, and the market is saturated.

We used to use them as clackers on our bike spokes to make them sound like motorbikes, they were that common.

For me, if I am buying any cards, I offer like $5/kg of cards, hoping to find a extremely rare card, any more, and it is not worth my time.

Those look to be cards from the Topps 1979 series. Unless they're rookie cards they're likely worth very little (if anything). Even if they are rookie cards, the market was flooded with baseball cards in the late 80's / early 90's, and then the 1994 strike really caused the bottom to fall out of the market. The steroid/performance enhancing drugs scandals that plague many of the biggest stars who debuted around that time (McGuire, Clemens, Canseco...) is also keeping the prices down and I don't see a recovery anytime soon.

I have two complete sets in my closet -- 1991 Fleer (that I picked up at the Zellers at North Hill Mall) and 1991 Topps (picked up at the Southland Woolco). I think they're worth maybe $5 combined (if I'm lucky).

Yeah, I have to agree with everybody in this thread. I too started collecting in the early 90's, only with comics. I had TONS of rare ones like The death of Superman 1st printing, (The introduction of) Venom, all sorts of rare shit... Fast forward to 2007 when I sold them all, I got Cover price on all of them except the Superman one (even then it wasn't much)... its like... fuck.
Only pre 1970 stuff and very rare things like a Wayne Gretzky rookie card are worth much of anything these days.

You can still find a lot of people on Ebay that are willing to pay ok for cards from the 80s but 90s and new are useless. When I was young my bro used to buy all new sets with his 10-20 a month from chores and what not and I used to buy single cards from the 60's I still have so many cards including many full sets from the late 60's and early 70s'
