35 years ago? More like 70 years ago. Except those idiots put Mickey Mantle Rookie cards in the spokes of their bike.
Or you have a mother that gave your card collection away to the kid down the street. Had both Maris and Mantle cards. Also my favorite player as a kid some guy named Larry Doby.

On the site I previously posted about, I once in a while will pick up cards outside of the sports world. Sometimes they are dirt cheap and I can pick up a card for a couple of cents even if I don't have much interest in them, its worth the chance to flip them at such a low price.
Interestingly this week, I've sold quite a few Kamala Harris cards. I'm guessing there are alot of speculators buying them now expecting her to become the first female President in the near future.

@Yappi did you see this? I got excited when I saw the 1991 Tops of Chipper Jones went for over $120,000. But then after closer inspection it was the Desert Storm edition! The one from the traditional set is not worth much. LOL

How would someone go about selling their mostly baseball card collection. I have about 100,000 cards from the early 90s sitting around in organized boxes. I was thinking about searching out cards valued at $5.00 and higher for sale on FB or EBay. Any other suggestions?

I use https://www.comc.com/ to buy and sell cards.
It is easier to do than FB or EBay. You pack up your cards and mail them in. The company then photographs each card and uploads it to your account for pricing. When they sell, COMC ships the cards. They handle everything. You can request payment when you choose to.
The negatives are that it can be more expensive to sell, you have to pay up front to list cards, and the price for cards might be less than FB and Ebay.
Just depends how much work you want to do selling the cards. Ebay and FB are much more time consuming but could get higher prices.
Cards that sell for $2-$10 are the best cards to send in to COMC. Anything lower doesn't make much sense due to the fees.

PSA pauses card grading submissions from outside the US
Due to U.S. tariffs announced on Wednesday, April 2, PSA will be temporarily pausing the acceptance of PSA grading submissions directly to its U.S. facilities, including through PSAcard.com, from customers located in all countries outside of the United States. This is an expansion on previously announced restrictions on direct submissions coming from Canada, China, Hong Kong, and Mexico.
Why is PSA making this update?
PSA is reluctantly taking these measures to protect our international customers from significant tariff expenses. The newly imposed tariffs are against the value of the items in the order rather than on the PSA service fee. The table below provides an illustrative example of the tariff charges that would be incurred by customers, which is on top of PSA’s grading fees and shipping expenses.
For customers in Japan, all submissions to PSA must be submitted to our full-scale grading operation in Tokyo, which is not currently impacted. Please visit PSAcard.co.jp to learn more and begin submissions.
For customers in Canada, submissions can still be made by dropping off or sending cards to our official PSA Submission Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Please visit PSAcanada.ca to learn more about this process and download paper forms to create your submissions. Customers can also continue to submit via PSA Authorized Dealers in Canada.
We are currently working on solutions to allow our PSA customers outside of the United States, Japan, and Canada to continue submitting via PSA Authorized Dealers. We will soon provide updates on the resumption of submissions for customers impacted globally, as we are working on solutions in real time.
With this pause in place, customers outside of the United States will temporarily be unable to complete direct submissions in the Online Submission Center at PSAcard.com. Should any submissions be completed and sent to the U.S. from these countries, customers who send them will be financially responsible for any tariffs, duties, and other taxes incurred by PSA, as provided in Section 5 of our User Agreement.
Also, while these tariff regulations are in place, customers from outside of the U.S. who send graded cards to the PSA Vault for storage will also be responsible for any tariff charges incurred by PSA. Currently, shipping graded cards to the PSA Vault from outside of the U.S. is not encouraged.
We do apologize to our customers outside of the United States for this inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. We will provide further updates as they become available, as we strive to keep PSA authentication and grading services accessible to all collectors worldwide.
A: Customers in impacted countries will no longer be able to start or complete a submission with PSA through the Online Submission Center. Customers in Canada will still be able to submit to PSA by leveraging our official Submission Center located in Halifax, or through a PSA Authorized Dealer in the country. Customers in Japan will still be able to submit directly to our full-scale grading operation in Tokyo via our localized submission experience.
Q: I already shipped my order from Canada to PSA in the U.S. before tariff regulations took effect. Will my submissions be impacted?
A: Orders that entered the U.S. prior to 12:01am on Tuesday, March 4 will not be impacted by the U.S. tariffs. However, orders in transit but not quite in the U.S. prior to that time may be affected. Additionally, card orders may be subject to Canada’s new retaliatory 25% tariff upon return to Canada. PSA is working on solutions to minimize the impact of tariffs on its customers.
Q: I already shipped my order from outside of the U.S. (excluding Canada) to PSA in the U.S. before tariff regulations took effect. Will my submissions be impacted?
A: Orders that entered the U.S. prior to 12:01am on Saturday, April 5 will not be impacted by the U.S. tariffs. Return shipments back to place of submission origin may be impacted by not-yet-announced retaliatory tariffs. However, PSA will leverage available means to limit tariff exposure for customers outside of the U.S.
Q: If my cards are already at PSA in the U.S. for authentication and grading, upon order completion, can I store my cards submitted from outside of the U.S. in the PSA Vault?
A: Yes, customers can leverage this option for storage of completed orders in the U.S. to limit exposure to retaliatory tariffs.
Q: Will PSA Canada’s Submission Center honor PSA U.S. Collectors Club pricing?
A: All customers that submit through the PSA Canada Submission Center during this time will be able to take advantage of a more favorable bulk tier (5-card minimum per order instead of 20), and we will not be requiring a Collectors Club membership to access this tier. Here is where you can find all service level and pricing info for submissions through PSA Canada.
Q: Due to these regulations, I can't take full advantage of my Collectors Club membership benefits any more. What are my options for my existing membership?
A: While we continue to monitor the overall impact of new tariff restrictions on PSA submissions, there will be no immediate changes to our Collectors Club memberships or program. This may change as this situation evolves, and we encourage customers in impacted countries to stay tuned for further updates. For Collectors Club members in Canada, you can still take advantage of your membership pricing benefits by submitting orders through our PSA Canada Submission Center, and you will continue to receive monthly issues of PSA Magazine as part of your membership, as well.
Q: I have an upcoming PSA Collectors Club renewal. Will auto-renew be disabled for members in countries impacted by the tariff regulations?
A: All customers have the option to turn off the auto-renew function from their existing membership. The auto-renew function will not be disabled, but if you wish to disable it from your specific membership, visit PSAcard.com and navigate to your account by clicking the icon in the top right-hand corner of the site. Scroll past your membership level and details to find the “Edit Recurring Membership Payment” button. Once you click there, it will navigate you to Stripe, and you can cancel your plan from there. This will not immediately cancel your current membership, but simply stop the auto-renewal payment once the existing membership expires.
Q: Will PSA Magazine shipments be impacted by tariff regulations?
A: PSA Magazine will continue to ship to customers in affected countries without additional delay.
Q: If I have a Customer Request Center claim from Canada – i.e. Quality Assurance Request, Label Correction Request – how do I now submit it?
A: Customers with CRC claims will continue to submit them using the PSA website. All cards that need to return to a U.S.-based PSA operation will first need to be sent to our PSA Canada Submission Center in Halifax for proper shipment while tariffs are in place.
Q: I am a customer with an account based in an impacted country. If my return address is within the U.S., will my submissions be impacted by the U.S. tariff regulations?
A: The U.S. tariffs impact items coming into the U.S., so the return address being in the U.S. for orders coming in from impacted countries will not make a difference in customers attempting to avoid these tariffs via direct submissions from those locations.
Q: Is the PSA Canada Submission Center owned by PSA or is it an authorized dealer?
A: The PSA Canada Submission Center is wholly owned by the Collectors parent company and is part of the PSA division. The submission center is led by PSA team member, Brad Hartlin, who is PSA’s Director of Market Development for Canada.

Interestingly, on the site that I use, LeBron James cards are tanking. Maybe the quick exit from the playoffs scared some people. While Michael Jordan and LeBron had different values on their cards, they seemed to move in the same direction at the same time for the last few years. This past month is when that changed. Jordan's cards have been fairly steady with a slight increase. LeBron's cards are selling for less than half price. There are a couple speculators that have large collections of low end LeBrons that are dumping them. Maybe when that gets sorted out, LeBron's cards will stabilize and hopefully increase again.

Just curious how long people hang on to their cards before selling them? I have a lot of 80's and 90's cards I am thinking about moving.
I also started buying packs again what does everyone prefer Topps or Bowman?
What are people using to price their cards - I used to use Beckett's magazine so that's not an option LOL

I grew up with Topps so I still stick with them. Bowman does have some nice cards.
Search eBay sold listings for value estimates.
Most cards from the late 80's and early 90's have no monetary value.

I see both sides of this. She is a professional athlete and this comes with the turf if you are popular enough. Kind of weird to complain about being treated the same as the male athletes.
On the flip side, I also think it is weird that grown men are standing around for hours to get autographs and then most likely selling them. He would have been better off to just hire a kid to get the autograph so it wouldn't feel so weird.

Decided to look up this card. I sold it on November 23, 2023 for $.29
So far in 2025, I've sold $1800 worth of cards by flipping. Sadly, I don't get any of the money, I just put it into more cards. I usually buy cards and mark them up by 100% to 400%. It's tough to find those kind of deals. Maybe one of these days, it can become more than just a hobby.
I didn't watch the video, but I can infer what the situation is. I've never understood the concept of getting someone to sign a card. IMO, it detracts the value of the card as opposed to on card autos produced by the card manufacturer, and distributed for signing. If I want an auto card, not sticker autos, I'm looking for an on card auto that is part of a set. As for the situation, any grown man that swarms an athlete (male or female) is just odd.
I've been using the Market Movers app to see what I can expect for a card at a show. Sadly, the app continues to remind me that I paid too much for a few of the more expensive cards I have. I dived into collecting Topps & Bowman Heritage sets, but also have a ton of newer football (Prizm, Select, Absolute, Score, Donruss, Zenith, Bowman Chrome). I've used TCDB.com to input and organize the cards I have. Its a great site to check out.
I use the Market Movers app. Just search your card's data and prices from various sites will populate and give you an estimate of what it recently sold for.
In Baseball, I buy Bowman Chrome and Topps Chrome, I just like the finish on the cards. Football is a whole other game. There are so many brands that Panini produces, but I think most people like the Prizm brand. However, Fanatics (who owns Topps/Bowman baseball licensing) will have the rights to the NFL next year I think, so if you're an auto/patch hunter you won't find those in Panini products because most football players have signed with Fanatics. For example, although you can find licensed (Washington Commanders) cards of Jayden Daniels in Panini products, you will not find his auto. Topps has began to produce their own unlicensed cards (just a Washington label) that may include his auto because he signed with Fanatics, not Panini.

That is the toughest part of this industry. Finding reliable information for card prices. The deeper you dig into it, the better you get.
I know that I see these videos on YouTube talking about the highest priced cards from the 80s and the people watching start getting real excited. Most people don't understand that grading cards is expensive and getting a 10 is rare. So that $200 PSA10 rookie card from the 80s might only be worth a couple bucks ungraded.
Exactly. I've bought a couple PSA 9s hoping to turn a better profit, only to get burned. As a result, I've made the decision to only invest in PSA 10s if I intend to flip it as graded. As for grading, too much risk/reward for me. I'll let someone else do that.
