Does anyone have any knowledge of sports trading cards?  

My husband has TONS of sports cards---2 footlocker size rubbermade totes chock FULL of them. He has been wanting to sell his as well but hasn't been able to find the info out. I DO know that most of the local card shops where we live are only buying cards from the 1960s and before. If you find out any info, would sure appreciate it if you would pass it on.

Tuff Stuff Magazine is one of the resources I use to determine value of trading cards. (Beckett's is another good resource but they charge a monthly fee for access to most of their information.) You can access a lot of information on the Tuff Stuff web site for free, and if you subscribe to the magazine you have access to even more online information at the site. Trading cards are tough; they vary in price and the bottom line is that they are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. I generally do an online search for cards I have and see what online card dealers are selling them for as a base for what I ask on eBay. :-)

Baseball cards from the late 80s and early 90s are basically worthless. These were the glory years when card companies overproduced everything because so many people thought they could make money off of them. The cards you have pictured for example, the 2 1990 Fleer cards, have a book value of .05-.010. That is it. it might even be only 3 cents. It is not only not worth trying to sell them but no one will buy them. The hobby has changed a great deal and anything from these periods is basically junk. A card is only worth what someone will give you for it. You may use a Beckett Baseball Price guide to help you determine the book value, but again no one hardly ever pays book value. If you get 10% of it for common stuff that is considered doing well. The hobby is really big money now and people don't want stuff unless it is a high dollar card.
