re: Will baseball cards from the 80’s-90’s ever be worth anything?

I remember when that card was the rage but then the corrected version that looked like someone used a sharpie to block the bad word out was even more valuable.

Thankfully, my entire collection got stolen and I used a Beckett Guide to prove the value of the better cards that I had, including a Nolan Ryan rookie card and some unopened boxes of 1989 Upper Decks. Insurance paid off without a question.

I was so proud of my 1984 mark Mcguire USA team rookie card too. Damn you mark and them steroids

1986 Topps is my favorite

I liked the '87 Donruss

Topps 1987 was classy.


1988 Score probably my second favorite after 1986 Topps.

It’s doubtful. There are just too many people holding onto cards from that era to make them scarce at all. I’ve got tons as well.

This. I literally have over 15,000 1987 Topps cards. Sealed factory sets, unopened boxes, half a dozen full sets I put together, albums of cards, plastic sleeves, etc. 95% of the cards in mint or near mint.

I have somewhere around 25,000 cards in total from about 1986 to 1990.

It's like all of us have a frickload of those cards and they are just going to sit in large boxes is attics, garages, etc forever.

Mine have been in my parents garage, for about the past 28 years.

You can’t get more then 5 bucks for any card that was produced in the last 40 years

That's simply not true. The market started to correct itself starting in the early 2000's. Baseball cards are selling for tens of thousands of dollars in some cases. Particularly Trout RCs.
