I'll sell you all my cards for 350$
At this point, I'd sell mine for $3.50 if he'd come get them.

I second this. Was a good insight into what was going on. I liked when they compared it to printing their own money.

Baseball cards are worthless.
Might want to look at sold prices on ebay for new and old stuff. There is still big money in baseball cards. Obviously mid 80's up was over produced but even new cards from today go for big money.

I still have a George Brett card in there somewhere worth 4 dollars so I would lose bigly

dont buy anything produced after the 70s, only rookie cards, only graded by PSA. Prepare for them not really to increase at all 
The only stuff that increases of any value are the items that are more used for wealthy people to store their money in assets. so high dollar items

I was heavy into baseball card collecting until the early 1990’s and mad a ton of money. The way I picked which cards to buy were to get the cards of older, active players who were certain to make the HOF. The cards would get a nice bump after HOF selection. My best return was on a Topps Nolan Ryan rookie card that I bought for around $100.
How did I make so much money on them? I had a good inventory of my collection and it was stolen during a break-in. The insurance adjuster let me use a Beckett Guide to value the cards. You’d never be able to get that much by selling to a dealer. I think that I got $1500 for the ungraded Ryan card alone.

I have 20-30k cards from the 80-90's sitting in a rubbermaid that I'd give you for a 6pack beer.

You can't go wrong with a complete 1991 Fleer baseball set and a PSA graded Jeff Charboneau rookie card.

The internet changed the value of most collectibles, especially things like baseball cards. What made cards valuable was being rare and hard to find. Now a few internet clicks and a PayPal account and you can get any card you want.

Hope you like losing money
Might as well buy a boat.
You'll spend a lot on it but it'll at least give you memories and food on the table.
I wish I had my money back from collecting cards as a kid. So many lawns cut....so many 7 mile bike rides (14 miles round trip and it was mostly down hill into town) into town to buy said cards.

Quickest and easiest way to start out on the right foot is to make me an offer from the many boxes that I left in a closet at my parents house.

I wish as OT members we got our own cards.
Wonder which ones would be most sought and why..
I’d pay top dollar for an IOPP card.

At one pint I had 4 of those Upperdeck Ken Griffey Jr rookie cards. I kept getting lucky when I would buy a pack. I also saved up $12 (by far the most exepensive pack of cards you could buy) to buy a pack of 1990 Leaf (maybe '91 or '92) that had a Frank Thomas card worth $75 and the Frank Thomas was actually in there. Man I loved the anticipation right before opening up a pack of baseball cards

I assume you saw the Netflix documentary on this:Jack of all Trades (2018)
Pretty good. Get's odd but entertaining. LINK
My suggestion: just download Robinhood and "collect" stocks... Most will go up in value over time, huge market of buyers, and lots of clubs/magazines/media for people talking about them.
