A few years back, I bought a 1990 Topps NFL Full set and opened it tonight.
I discovered a lot of nice cards in it.
Rookie Cards:
Derrick Thomas #248
Deion Sanders #469
Troy Aikman #482
Steve Atwater #29
All Pro Cards:
Barry Sanders #352
Joe Montana #13

The cards are all in great condition.
Sorry if this is the wrong board, but I wanted to see if these are worth anything.

They aren't worth very much, way over printed.

Hate to break it to you but they ain’t worth much at all. The stars in that group might be worth five or ten dollars if you had them graded maybe alittle more. Sorry bro

Thanks.
I'm probably going to take the whole set to a card shop and see what they say.

Why Is Atwater included? You have about $35 if lucky maybe ask for more on eBay .. lots of junk eta worth a ton but not these in raw condition.

You can buy the entire set for $19.99 on eBay with free shipping.

I actually have that set, never opened, in box and wrapped. I doubt it’s worth much.

Aint even $3.50.

All of the cards that you think are valuable from the 90's are worth about 25¢ on ebay. There's tens of thousands of them all over every antique shop that got suckered into buying them as well - most card shops wont waste their time on them unless they're graded mint 10s and sealed.

Even if they weren't over printed... Graded cards are the ones worth money and any slightly bent card is not going to grade well

I remember buying those. They were available at every store. Is PSA and BGS still backed up?

If they are bent they aren’t worth anything sorry. Even if they were GM10 they would only be worth a few dollars each.

If you had those same cards, but in the 1989 Score set, then you would have some value. Most baseball and football cards 1987- 2000 are garbage. Basketball during that span has some value because of the GOAT and the early Dream Team players. 2001 kicked in with Brady and 2003 kicked in with Lebron and the advent of the autographed cards, slabbing cards through PSA, patch cards, rare short prints etc.

After the 1989 Score set (green border) blew up due to low print rate and great rookies (Deion, Aikman, Sanders, Thomas, etc) everyone thought the 1990 cards would be valuable also, but millions of cards were printed and the quality of the Topps and the rookies did not meet the 89 set.

Quick ebay search pulled up several listings for that same complete set going for $15-30 buy it now plus shipping.

Slightly bent isn’t mint. “Mint” is a high standard in card collecting.

I have a collection with a ton of 90’s cards that I thought I would be able to sell a while back. Turned out they weren’t worth nearly as much as I’d hoped and the few people who responded only wanted to buy cards of certain players (MJ, Kobe, Griffey, etc).

Collections sat in boxes of binders in a closet for 20+ years now. Maybe in another 20 years it’ll be worth something or I might have grandkids who have an interest in inherting it by then
