I purchased a home I've been renovating and they were left behind. I don't have a clue if they are worth my time. I am clueless when it comes to these . If anybody has any suggestions. One box is a set of score 704 baseball card collector set from 1990 and score collector NFL 1990 collector and various other collector sets and assorted cards for the early 1990's. I heard the market was saturated with late 80's to 90's cards. Any suggestions one way or another is appreciated.

They printed a lot in that era. They aren’t worth anything

Email me and I’ll send you mine

Most of those are going to be worthless. You can use EBay sold listings to see which ones are worth anything.

$3.50

Total.

I kid, but I think in that era they were crazy over printed and probably not worth much unless you have a rare gem in there.

I have a box of those late 80s and early 90s era cards.

Frank Thomas is my favorite player if you find a card of his with no name on the front I’ll give you a $50 gift card to your favorite restaurant for it.

If you happen to stumble across a Honus Wagner card, I'll take it off your hands.
It's a garbage card, and I'd be doing you a favor. Don't believe any googling about its supposed worth.
Just DM me and I'll take care of that one for you.

brand, players, condition, gradability - these are all things that will make a huge difference on the potential value of the cards. Almost every card from that era is worth absolutely nothing -especially if ungraded - and that is a total PITA these days - it's expensive and takes forever. There are so many factors that go into grading, as well. You have to really educate yourself on the grading process. Even a desirable card is worth 1/10 ungraded.

I have a ton of cards from the mid 80s to early 90s and I've been going through them having the ones graded that have potential value. It has been a royal pain and only a few of the thousands of cards that I own are worth anything. Some are potentially worth a lot if they grade out high enough.

Like someone else said, they are probably worthless - unless you want to start a fire.

What makes this particular Leibrandt card valuable?
Not being a smartass.

The whole game has changed. A card has no value unless its graded. You can sell it to someone who can get it graded, but they will only pay a small amount of what it could be worth.

A friend of mine just had two kobe bryants and a specialty stephen curry rookie card graded and they charge a percentage of the value of the cards.

In other words, a card is as good as non existent if its not graded. Let's say there is a special card in which only 200 of them are made. That number gets filtered by the amount of them that gets graded.

Then there will only be so many grade 10s available. And if a card is graded at 7, thats when the value starts to really drop.

They'd be good to start a fire with. I just went through my entire collection from the same era and hardly any of them are worth anything.
