I still have my old cards from back in the day. I thought they weren't worth shite nowadays

If they are either a) really old cards (80s and before) or b) have some really rare cards of good players, they're worth something. I sold a Kobe insert (no auto/grade/patch/numbering) for $300.00 on FeeBay. A numbered Iverson with a rough edge which I was honest about to 100 for $150.

Everyone thought to collect the rookies and the autos, but the really rare 1 in 300+ inserts from back in the day carry a lot of value, probably because they weren't assumed to have the value of stuff like rookie cards. Even the cheaper rookie cards at the time are worth more than the upper escelon. I kept a Kobe Topps Finest rookie in a nice case from my childhood and it went from clear #1 to like #7-8.

There's also these big consignment companies that buy out the rarer cards to keep value up. It's a funny little world.

Btw, for those curious about a TD.com break for fun that I said I'd put on (I must be insane to invite the MSB into my home )



There's the 2016 Bowman's Best case, a piece of the supplies, I have more including gloves and a bunch more loaders but there's the essentials.

Gotta get this streaming thing 100% but we coming...
