A worthless card in mint condition is still worthless.

Otherwise, that time frame for sports cards is pretty crappy in terms of value.

They are worth as much as someone is willing to pay. No point in trusting any pices in card collecting books.

I recently looked at a house for sale. The former occupants took most everything but left behind several alphabetized shoe-boxes of sports cards in a closet.

They also left a box full of good condition (shrink wrap on some) 60s and 70s country albums (Waylon, Haggard, etc.)and one by famous crooner Terry Bradshaw.

The box of old vinyl is probably worth more than the multiple boxes of cards.

If you have Sandberg, Boggs, Gwynn, Ripken, Puckett rookies you have something. Basically any rookie cards before 1986 have some value. Those five are most likely the most valuable ones from that early 80s unless I've forgotten someone. Oh Maddox is a good one as well. Any non-roid HOFers from that era is worth something. Oh Griffey's 1989 UD is a good card as well.

Where did you see that at? Are they being listed that high or actually selling that high? I'm seeing Ripken rookies in a PSA 10 holder go for $200-$1700.

You can use eBay as a reference to see what the market is like on any particular card. Search for the card in question and then filter out the results to show you what the sold ones have been going for.

Honestly though, with the range of dates you provided, there will be very little in there worth much. If you get lucky there will be a Jordan rookie out of the 86-87 Fleer set. It looks like this:




Outside of this, there won't be much to get excited about, unfortunately.

So this Ripken rookie has been a submitted to a reputable grading service, either BGS or PSA? Because if it hasn't, there's no way to determine the cards true condition. They look at centering, surface, edges and corners.

Also, I don't think that Ripken is worth 6K.

The 1981-1983 Fleer sets are worth a bit. Ripken's rookie was in the 1982 Fleer set. If it's in mint condition you have yourself a really nice find there. 1989 Fleer is worthless junk.


Wasn't Ripken's famous f**kface card the 89 Fleer? Depending on which version it is, it should still have some value, right?

Yes. I have one. I gave $20 for mine at a shop. There are other corrected variations that are worth a bit as well.
