This video is a hoot. Mainly because it’s the same woman who taught us how to grade a card. Now she shares some of her own garage sale finds. Some of which are “very valuable”. What is interesting is that she classified modern cards as those from the 70′s,80′s and 90′s. Saying that all of those cards are overproduced. I mean let’s not pick up any George Brett or Eddie Murray rookie cards, because they are overproduced. Those Clemens and Griffey Jr. cards are worthless as well since they fall in that time frame. But hey a 1959 card of a nobody, now that’s what is worth high dollar. I love when antique collectors try and be “experts” at card collecting.
This is the kind of person Craigslist.org people listen to when listing their cards. They are so paranoid that they are going to give up valuable cards, that they try and get 500 – 1000 dollars for boxes and boxes of worthless cards. To give you an example. There is one person locally that is offering a 3200 card box filled with cards from 1986-1991 Topps. I figured I’ll offer $40 and I’ll have all the commons I need to fill my sets. The person told me the cards are worth between 10 – 20 cents each and she wasn’t going to take anything less than $450. I told her to let me know how that goes. She hasn’t emailed me back yet and I’ve seen it posted on there 4 more times.
I think you can tell how old they are by looking at the stats on the back. That’s how you tell right?
Don’t buy new cards LMFAO!!
You’ll probably just end up donating them to a children’s home, and you won’t feel very good about it.
