Baseball Cards

[BamaBrad]

Any baseball card collectors on here? Just have started getting back into it, with my son and wishing I had some of the cards I had when I was younger, instead of putting them in the spokes of my bike. Have pulled some pretty nice cards but still having a hard time getting comps, especially on the newer cards.

Any shops that buy cards that deal pretty good? I think there is one in Douglasville?

I don’t collect cards now but I did when I was a youth. Out of the thousands of cards I had I managed to save a shoebox full. Found them cleaning out a closet a few weeks ago and went through them. Had i kept them in good condition I would have had some money. One example here, Cal Ripken Jr. rookie card.

I have my gdad’s cards. 1933 Goudey’s.
About 150 of them.

I have a few from the 70s from my childhood, but not many.
Have some English soccer cards from late 60’s. I’m an Air Force brat.

The two 1909 tobacco cards are my favorite. They were discontinued after the press that made them broke. It wasn’t until 1943 that leaf started selling packs

The generation that collected baseball cards, coins, and stamps have mostly died off. Very little, if any value in them. Much like beanie babies that flamed out before out eyes

Pulled this yesterday. Explaining to my son the best I can about it, in general as he plays.

I’ve got 12-15k cards stored in a closet from when I collected… late 80’s - mid 90’s. Haven’t touched them in 10 years.

He played a little minor league ball in my hometown, the Bluefield Orioles.

I don't have quite that many but close. Any ideas on a quick and easy way to check current values (sort of ebay) or anyone good I could sell all of them too?

Not a clue. I’m kinda in the same boat.
