Maybe we can start a baseball cards are racist campaign and convince some libs to start burning their cards.

Just as long as Nolan Ryan doesn't say anything racist to devalue his stock.

There's an app for that.

Ah, will have to do some mining over the weekend and follow up with any big wins!

Cards are still valuable outside the period of over production

Yeah, pretty much anything pre 70's hold some value. Only thing currently made are really the cards that have pieces of memorabilia embedded in them.

Ebay and the online market place ruined values as well. in the past you pretty much had to be in the right place at the right time to find cards. Now you just go online and click buy.

if graded. too many repos and fakes

Around 1995 or so I sat my sister down and explained to her why my investment in baseball cards was a much sounder investment than her Beanie Babies. I used a Beckett to show her how much my Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey Jr rookie cards among other high value cards were worth and explained to her that she was wasting her money on Beanie Babies. A couple of years later a woman who had a kid in my mom's class took 20 of my sisters Beanie Babies to a convention in Chicago and brought back $15k for my little sister. I had to borrow money from her Beanie Baby spoils to buy my first car, and 20 years later I have a closet full of cards collecting dust

about the same time as soada fountains and drive in movies make a come back

The industry destroyed the market.

Nothing is rare if everything is rare. Overproduced and too many gimmicks.

There will always be rare cards of key players that fetch high prices but the glory days are long gone.
