Sports Cards, Do you sell or collect?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. sahsports4883 (324)   ranked 767 out of 865 in sports 3 years ago

I love selling and collecting sports cards, it can be any sport but I prefer NASCAR cards or game used cards, their unique and can be worth a lot of money. Are there any other sports fans out there that sell or collect sports cards? and if so which sports and why do you like those the best? I recently bought four boxes of cards and I'm looking into keeping some of the ones I want but selling most of them on e-Bay since many are just base cards but it'll make a good start to selling and hopefully getting returning buyers/bidders.

I wish it was easier to find game used/race used cards, I just think it's so cool that they make cards with game used jersey, race win and race used tire and fire suit etc. I'm trying to get better at knowing which boxes or companies are worth my money, I know Press Pass is very popular in the NASCAR world, Upper Deck is a big company but I see some of these collectors that seem to find all the awesome cards, do they just know what to look for or is it pure luck? I know most cards are limited with serial numbers so their hard to come by.

I would love to hear from other sellers or collectors, it's a fun hobby of mine and I'm always looking for others to discuss sports and sports cards/memorabilia with.

Growing up I collected baseball, football, basketball, and hockey cards. But it was different back then. The competition wasn't as fierce, you didn't have 19,000 different card companies and sets you could buy for any one year. Upper Deck was the expensive brand at like $1.50 a pack. I still have a good deal of cards, packed away, but I was under the impression that the integrity of the trade took a drastic turn a few years back, right about the time these game used cards were coming out acutally. I'm also probably a little biased, for during my decline of interest for sports cards in general, I also lost a good deal of respect for the athletes in general. I collected cards back in the day, more because I liked a particular player. With the whole onslaught of steroids, athletes holding out of contracts, demanding more money, etc.....I don't know, I stopped buying sportscards.

Hi ColonelConclusive,

I understand where your coming from but I know all athletes didn't use steroids or do illegal drugs, the ones who did deserve to be punished and that's all there is too it. I personally love the game used cards, I think their awesome and if you come across some when you purchase cards you can make a profit on eBay or some other site like that. I also love the race used tires and cards of that sort that are put out by Press Pass for NASCAR. I've currently gotten into collecting vintage cards from the early 50's to 90's, if you can buy lots of unopened packages than you have a great chance to find some great cards. Many of them have never been gone through or priced so you never know what you could fine. I do collect current cards, even if their just common cards, I just enjoy collecting it's a fun hobby. For me it gets addicting though but I suppose it's better than being addicted to drugs or alcohol. I've been getting some great buys on lots on eBay and Craiglist because many people forget they have the cards or aren't interested anymore so if your ever looking to sell, don't forget about me.

many years ago even though I was a grown adult in my 30years I feel in love with garbage pal kids cards! LOL. I forgot some of the names. I got rid of them though, I believe I took them someplace and they said thy were not worth more than 49 cents for 4 or 5......whatever was in the pack to begin with. I have been told they have to be in mint condition to be worth anything. Do you use protective coverings for the? Peaceout and thanks for the friends request!
