[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Thank god I sold all of my "normal" cards and bought Sportflix. Those haven't gone down, have they? [/ QUOTE ] It's not looking good. [/ QUOTE ] LMAO I think he was joking. Well, I hope. [/ QUOTE ] You are correct. I'm not depending on Sportflix for my retirement. I think mine are all warped, anyway.

All, That sucks. I have boxes and boxes of cards from the 80's sitting somewhere at my parents house, a lot of them all pristine and protected in those stupid plastic things. [/ QUOTE ] Your parents sold them years ago after you moved out. They probably took the money and treated themselves to Red Lobster.

[ QUOTE ] I never understood why something that got massproduced through a machine, a cardboard with a picture could worth $10k. I can understand why autographed or game-worn jeresy cards have value, but not rookie cards. Its a piece of paper that cost $0.01 to produce. [/ QUOTE ] How much does a $100 bill take to produce? [/ QUOTE ] About as much as a $1000 bill. EDIT - Since the $1000 bill is no longer in circulation I'm going to officially change my answer to about as much as a $1 bill. Furthermore, assuming the $1000 bill were still in circulation it would also cost about the same. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Is anyone else shocked that 80s baseball cards are almost worthless?
Magic cards have gone up a lot. I looked mine up recently some had gone up 3x-4x. I thought it would the other way around with baseball cards being worth more and magic worth nothing.
Does anybody think baseball cards will make a comeback anywhere down the road? I'm saying 100-200 years from now could they be sought after?

[/ QUOTE ] I have a lot of 80s baseball cards sitting in my mom's house too. They only sat under 8 feet of water for about two weeks, so the damage is minimal. Anyone want to buy them? I'll give you a 10% discount for the flood damage.

I'm waiting until my 1975 Topps George Brett card is worth $1 million. If anyone knows Todd MacFarlene, please let him know that I will sell it to him today for only $950,000.

My firend has a full set of orignal Kiss cards. I love to look at them, they crack me up reminding me of how in to Kiss I was when I was 8 years old.

Re: Is anyone else shocked that 80s baseball cards are almost worthles

[ QUOTE ] I collected basbeballs cards in the 80s for fun and b/c they were really going up in value. In 88 or so, an 85 Mattingly was $85 (It's now $2.50). The 88 Donruss set is only $10 (I used to buy packs for about a $1!) Basically there's no 80s card now worth over $60. Kind of disappointing. [/ QUOTE ] hey you, comic book geek, where you been lately? I worked in a card/comic store before and during grad school, from around '92 to '98. This was after the Pro Set football boom, but I got to see firsthand the Wild Card fiasco, the Death of Superman, the Valiant Comics boom, the Bowman craze, the onset of Magic, all kinds of wacky stuff. When you have predominantly kids (and I mean KIDS, not the people that are driving the poker economy right now) that market is not built to last. Couple that with the insane numbers of cards/comics that the companies produced during that era, and it is no surprise whatsoever that they're all virtually worthless right now. If the pendulum swings, and there's another boom, the same thing will happen ten years later (or sooner). I'd bet three Ken Griffey, Jr. 89 UD RCs and 10 copies of Spawn #1 on it.
